Matthew Macfadyen interview at the Orlando Sentinel

The Orlando Sentinel has posted a lovely interview with Matthew Macfadyen.  He talks about the real role he'll be playing in Three Musketeers (see the previous post) as well as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood.

"My sheriff is a very far-distant cousin of Alan Rickman’s sheriff, because he is, well, an idiot, a small-town bureaucrat who is after the money and wants to get into Maid Marion’s knickers.”

And since the film is about how Robin Hood became Robin Hood, there’s always the possibility of sequels.

“Sequels? Really? You’re right. Oh yes, I love playing this idiot!”"

Read the full interview on the Orlando Sentinel.  The article was written by Roger Moore /Film Critic-Tribune Newspapers. 

Matthew denies he is Aramis. He is playing Athos!

"But those first reports that say I’m playing Aramis of the Musketeers? Wrong. Unless I looked at the contract wrong. I’m to be Athos.”"
