Carmen was kind enough to scan an article about Matthew Macfadyen in the gallery and Mia translated some interesting portions from the interview as follows:
About Three Musketeers--
Macfadyen, better known for his roles in Pride and Prejudice and Death at a Funeral, says that, when he got the script he got a little scared because he thought is was too risky. "But then I thought, why not?" although he recognized that "purists will not like it but let’s let others enjoy this movie because this is an adventure film. There are people that may think that the movie should be true to the original but this book is so rich that there can be different adaptations." About the difference with "other more serious movies, there is not much difference in the way we work, You read the script and you play the part. Also, not complaining about spending some time in Germany."
