Paul for One, and One for Paul

I am of the belief that anything that could potentially be good should be kept out of the hands of Paul W.S. Anderson. His body of work is nothing spectacularly bad (Resident Evil, Event Horizon, Mortal Kombat) but it's nothing spectacularly great either. Certainly a pro by now at dodging shit slung at him by the internet, Anderson had better be on his toes because truck loads of fecal matter are about to get tossed in his general direction since he'll be making a Three Musketeers film based on his script which he adapted with Andrew Davies, prolific screenwriter of Bridget Jones' Diaries. Because there is no "sarcasm" font or style, I will just tell you that I am being all kinds of sarcastic when I say 'prolific'.

Everyone should know already the story of d'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers, but Paul W.S. Anderson doesn't feel like keeping it the way that it has been for the last 165 years.

“We are definitely modernizing ‘The Three Musketeers’ without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece,” said Anderson, who hopes to shoot in France and Germany. “But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don’t take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance and adventure.” -THR

Someone send this guy a memo and let him know that feather hats and corsets are awesome and that he should definitely still have them as a center piece. 

I don't trust this at all. Disney's version is awesome and I don't need that sullied by some low rent quasi-hack looking to break his way into a real film career by effing up a classic.
