Another Movie? Damnit, if there is ONE story that deserves a proper 6/8/10 hour long episode mini series to let the 2 decades long narrative flow at a proper pace, it's this one
@@devenkane I just finished that series and really enjoyed it, even though they sped through his time spent in prison with Abbe Faria, which was my favorite part of the 2002 movie.
@@coreybonsant4876I’ve read the novel but it was a long time ago and I’ve see the Jim Caviezal movie, but I can’t remember how it so varied from the book. Maybe if O remember correctly in the book he was much more obsessed with revenge than the love he had for the girl and in the movie, it was all about his happy ending with the girl correct? Or if not this, how did it vary so much?
What I hate about so many adaptations of this story is how they erase Haydee just so that Edmond can be with Mercedes. The Jim Caviezel adaptation even went so far as to say that Albert was Edmond's son with Mercedes. I hope this version includes him ending up with Haydee.
Alexandre de La Patelliere, one of the film's directors and screenwriter, said that the 1979 miniseries directed by his father and which is a faithful adaptation of the book, is the best adaptation of the book. There was an interview with the actor Pierre Niney who plays the Count and the actress Anamaeria Vartolomei who plays Haydee in the French magazine Infrarogue. Anamaria says that Haydee is a young woman who has been damaged by life. She experienced great torment and suffering. She also feels a strong desire for personal revenge. Haydee has a deep darkness, but also a form of purity. She is a woman of duty, faithful and sincere. She has an image of her walking arm in arm with Andrea cavalcanti, clinging to him and another dancing with Albert. And in the trailer she tells the count if she will sacrifice her for her revenge. She is manipulating both at the count's request. Which leads me to believe that she will be more than just a witness for the Count against Fernand, she could be his winter milady from The Three Musketeers. An agent of the count, just like my lady was the cardinal's. And Haydee may not be happy about this, because she loves the Count.
The 1988 Soviet film, The Prisoner of Château d'If (Узник замка Иф/ Uznik zamka If) by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich has the count's ending with Haydee. And there will still be a miniseries with Sam Claflin.

i dont know why but i resonate deeply with stories of redemption, of being cast out and then making your way back and claiming your righteous path. im in x
Same! Edmund becomes jaded due to the injustice that had been perpetrated against him but in the end realizes life is worth living and lets go of the hate in his heart.
Props to the makeup department, young Edmund is the most innocent and wholesome character in contrast to the jaded and older Count whose heart is filled with vengeance! I agree that mini series of 10 episodes would do the story justice but this looks good. I think they are doing a UK adaptation as well that is a mini series.
I can't wait to see this movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite novels. It's a true unforgettable❤classic. Even though this is just the first trailer of the film but let hope that its closer to the book's adaptation.
This director and writer team of Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière did a phenomenal job with the recent Three Musketeers films and this film promises to be as great as those two films are.
@@montazownianr1 I've only seen the first one, but honestly I thought it kinda sucked. It was humorless with a brown ascetic. And despite what people claim it barley follows the book. I would highly recommend the 1973 'Richard Lester' Three Musketeers films. They turn up the zany slapstick by 40%, but aside from that, they're very faithful to the books (for what the runtime allows) and do a much better job of capturing the tone, and grand nature of the books. As well as the humor, which the new film severely lacked, given that the book is as much a comedy, as it is an adventure story. I also thought the actors were better in the 70s version.
So you haven't read the book? The 2002 adaptation greatly changed the story and omitted important characters from the book. Inspired by the story of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, the count has a young lover, an Eastern princess who joins forces with him against Fernand. Just as Cleopatra and Caesar joined forces against a common enemy. Her name is Haydee. There will still be a miniseries with Sam Claflin.
@@arabadawson-amoah217 In the film Cleopatra (1963) with Liz Taylor, which shows her affair with Julius Caesar, doesn't it have the mediocre clichés of the very weak film with Jim Caviezel? Is it because real stories are different from ridiculous Hollywood clichés? The film with Jim Caviezel is at the level of the film The prisoner of Château D’If (1988). In a film based on a true story, a powerful man had an affair with his beautiful eastern lover. Now, the film with Jim Caviezel is just fictional nonsense.
The film with Jim Caviezel is rubbish, an extremely simplistic script. Reading Julius Caesra's biography, does it contradict all the sentimental nonsense of the 2002 film? I wonder why? Humanity is more complex than weak American screenwriters cannot understand.
@@arabadawson-amoah217because Superman was in it and the actress who played Mercedes was just soooo gorgeous. they were beautiful lol. I read the book after and was horrified that there was another lady in the mic Haydee…. Book wins for me
THANK YOU FRANCE FOR MAKING HISTORICAL ACCURATE HISTORICAL CHARACTERS FOR EUROPE IN THE 19 CENTURY AND VISUALY AMAZING MOVIES THANK YOUUUUUU THIS ONE AND THE THREE MUSKETEERS LOOK AMAZING
OHMYWORD, the guy who plays the priest is incredible and this new Dantes, is absolutely already making my heart break! Jim Caviezel would be proud!!! Hopefully it follows the book?
When I saw the teaser, I didn't think it would hold up to my beloved 2002 adaptation with Jim Caviezel. BUT... this looks really, really well-done, and truer to the novel! I've been swayed to check it out now!
Can't wait it looks incredible ! As good it was to watch the caviezel version, it doesn't follow the book really well so I'm glad that we have this film
This looks like a proper adaptation. The old Jim Caviezel one abandoned the morality tale about the emptiness of revenge but it looks like it's very present in this new one.
My favourite book, so I hope this is as good as it looks. These days, I was honestly expecting "From the makers of John Wick.." to appear on screen, followed by violent fight sequences and dubstep.
And there will also be an adaptation of the book's story into a miniseries with Sam Claflin. The 2002 film changed the book's story and omitted characters,
I loved the version with Jim Caviezel as Edmond, but this version seems more authentic, given that it was Alexandre Dumas who wrote the novel and it is a French story. I will be sure to watch this when it comes out, and although the story is already known, the themes of revenge and loss and love...never grow old.
There's an image of Haydee walking arm in arm like Andrea Cavalcanti and another of her dancing with Albert, then shows her asking Edmond if he's going to destroy her because of his revenge. I wonder if Edmond is using Haydee as a pawn in his game. Edmond would be a calculating man like Emperor Augustus who made alliances and manipulated people to eliminate his uncle's murderers and then gain power in Rome. Is Edmond a man obsessed with revenge and will destroy anyone in his path? Would he use Haydee as a mere pawn in his game? Emperor Augustus used his sister as a pawn against Mark Antony. The same did Caesar with his daughter when he married her to Pompey in Rome. Will the writers come up with more layers and more darkness instead of it being a simple adventure with a lot of romanticism? Edmond, instead of being a vigilante who wants to punish the bad, is a cold and calculating man who uses people as pawns for his revenge. Without the touch of excessive romanticism of the film with Jim Caviezel and the adaptation with Gerard Depardieu. There could be an ending with a count emotionally ruined by his revenge. There may be damage to a Haydee who was a pawn of Edmond.
I've read this book so many times and hate every film version except the Mr. Magoo one as they all fail to understand the ultimate message of the book. This one looks like it might actually have the proper ending.
It's not just the adaptation with Jim Caviezel that has the count returning to Mercedes, the 1998 French miniseries with Gerard Depardeu and Ornella Muti shows the count and Mercedes returning. I Believe It may be like the 1979 French miniseries that ends with a count emotionally depressed by Edouard's death and trying to find some happiness in Haydee's arms and the miniseries ends with them both leaving for the East.

@Denisov-in7ji I never said they didn't or that it was a bad thing. In fact I think it's a great thing that it's in the original language and subtitled, I was just stating what I did because it sucks for me and not the rest of the world. As they "the good of the few does not out weigh the good of the many"
at least Haydee is in this adaptation. And since the father of one of the co-director for this film is the director of the 1979 tv show who is the most faithful adaptation, I have high hopes !
And why did Hollywood adapt the book, if France had already extensively adapted the story The Count of Monte Cristo (1918) - Léon Mathot Monte Cristo (1929) - Jean Angelo Le comte de Monte Cristo (1943) - Pierre Richard-Willm Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1954) - Jena Marais Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1961) - Louis Jordan The Count of Monte Cristo (1979) - Jacques Weber Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1998) - Gerad Depardieu
Will this be faithful to the book or like my favorite 2002 version… imagine my horror at realizing his Mercedes was NOT his love…. Ugh. Please follow the book.
A rich and powerful man like the Count would never return to his ex-fiancée. He would have a young lover like Julius Caesar had Cleopatra. Watch the films Cleopatra from 1963 or 1999, which show Julius Caesar, despite being married, having an affair with the young queen of Egypt. While the film with Jim Caviziel is just fiction. Unparalleled in real life. It is more realistic for the end of the book based on Cleopatra's story than to believe that he would return to Mercedes based on the fictional film with Jim Caviziel.
The worst adaptation of the book. Expect a complex story and multifaceted performances like Cleopatra with Liz Taylor and the film is a ridiculous adventure like John Wick.
Ok, when I saw teaser for the first time I wasn't very impresed, since I assumed it will be too much action orriented butchery of the story. Also, last year's Three Musketeers was made by same people and I heavily disliked that movie for being unfaithful, BBC Musketeers show rip off. But this trailer actualy shows plenty of plot points from the book, so I now have hope we'll get proper adaptation.

Jim did a great job
Monte Cristo was my John Wick before John Wick was a thing.
Best part is when he invents the Monte Cristo sandwich and it changes history.

Is Edmond a man obsessed with revenge and will destroy anyone in his path? Would he use Haydee as a mere pawn in his game? Emperor Augustus used his sister as a pawn against Mark Antony. The same did Caesar with his daughter when he married her to Pompey in Rome.
Will the writers come up with more layers and more darkness instead of it being a simple adventure with a lot of romanticism?
Edmond, instead of being a vigilante who wants to punish the bad, is a cold and calculating man who uses people as pawns for his revenge. Without the touch of excessive romanticism of the film with Jim Caviezel and the adaptation with Gerard Depardieu.
There could be an ending with a count emotionally ruined by his revenge. There may be damage to a Haydee who was a pawn of Edmond.

Edmond, instead of being a vigilante who wants to punish the bad, is a cold and calculating man who uses people as pawns for his revenge. Without the touch of excessive romanticism of the film with Jim Caviezel and the adaptation with Gerard Depardieu.
On dirait bien que le Docteur Juiphe a trouvé une nouvelle voie ...
Trudeau is now a movie star?
looks so good and I am so bad at dealing with subtitles
Many people around the world watch films with subtitles.
If everyone thought like this, holywid's films would never be shown in the rest of the world.
@Denisov-in7ji I never said they didn't or that it was a bad thing. In fact I think it's a great thing that it's in the original language and subtitled, I was just stating what I did because it sucks for me and not the rest of the world. As they "the good of the few does not out weigh the good of the many"
Good trailer 5 star vs good movie 3.5 star 😮😮
why? the previous one is golden
The author of the original story is French. Why shouldn't the French make their own film?
Agreed. The Jim Cavaziel one cannot be unseated as the best revenge story EVER
Previous one was typical american crap.
Our Count of Montecristo of 1966 was a million times much more beautiful of this one and should be 😮
Rai TV series?
Wait ,so he revenged on all their arses?
It's look like it'll be a beautiful movie. But will they have the guts to play it like Dumas wrote it?
at least Haydee is in this adaptation. And since the father of one of the co-director for this film is the director of the 1979 tv show who is the most faithful adaptation, I have high hopes !
Yes they have 😊
Oh look another Count Of Monte Cristo remake. What are we at now, 20? /Sigh
WHY THEY MAKE ANOTHER ONE OF THIS?
And why did Hollywood adapt the book, if France had already extensively adapted the story
The Count of Monte Cristo (1918) - Léon Mathot
Monte Cristo (1929) - Jean Angelo
Le comte de Monte Cristo (1943) - Pierre Richard-Willm
Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1954) - Jena Marais
Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1961) - Louis Jordan
The Count of Monte Cristo (1979) - Jacques Weber
Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1998) - Gerad Depardieu
Will this be faithful to the book or like my favorite 2002 version… imagine my horror at realizing his Mercedes was NOT his love…. Ugh. Please follow the book.
A rich and powerful man like the Count would never return to his ex-fiancée.
He would have a young lover like Julius Caesar had Cleopatra.
Watch the films Cleopatra from 1963 or 1999, which show Julius Caesar, despite being married, having an affair with the young queen of Egypt.
While the film with Jim Caviziel is just fiction. Unparalleled in real life.
It is more realistic for the end of the book based on Cleopatra's story than to believe that he would return to Mercedes based on the fictional film with Jim Caviziel.
The 2002 version has an unrealistic romance, unlike Cleopatra. In which a rich and powerful man had a young lover.
Cant beat the Jim Caviezal and Guy Pearce version.
The worst adaptation of the book. Expect a complex story and multifaceted performances like Cleopatra with Liz Taylor and the film is a ridiculous adventure like John Wick.
Ok, when I saw teaser for the first time I wasn't very impresed, since I assumed it will be too much action orriented butchery of the story. Also, last year's Three Musketeers was made by same people and I heavily disliked that movie for being unfaithful, BBC Musketeers show rip off.
But this trailer actualy shows plenty of plot points from the book, so I now have hope we'll get proper adaptation.
There will be changes.
My hope is in the miniseries with Sam Claflin.
