Rolling off “The Three Musketeers,” Pathé and Dimitri Rassam’s Chapter 2 (a Mediawan company) have unveiled the teaser and poster for their next period epic, “ The Count of Monte-Cristo,” starring Pierre Niney(“Yves Saint Laurent,” “Black Box”) in the title role. Based on Alexandre Dumas’ literary masterpiece, the film tells the story of a young man, Edmond Dantes, who becomes the target of a sinister plot and is arrested on his wedding day for a crime he did not commit. The film is directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière, who penned the two-part epic “The Three Musketeers.” The pair described “The Count of Monte-Cristo” as a “veritable myth mixing several cinematic genres – adventure and thriller, layered on top of an immensely powerful love story.” They also said Edmond Dantes was “the first French superhero, who steps from the light into the shadows, assuming the identity of masked avenger.”
