“Will you sacrifice me for your revenge?” “It isn’t revenge. It’s justice.” Samuel Goldwyn Films has unveiled a new official US trailer for The Count of Monte-Cristo, which first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Now set for a US release in December – catch this one in theaters! It’s yet another new Alexandre Dumas adaptation, written & directed by the two writers who made The Three Musketeers movies recently, though this time they’re also directing. A new take on the famous novel by Dumas, about a man who gets revenge after being unfairly imprisoned. It has been adapted many times before, most notably in 2002 with Jim Caviezel & Guy Pearce; in 1975 with Richard Chamberlain & Trevor Howard; and the OG classic in 1934 with Robert Donat & Elissa Landi. Starring Pierre Niney as Edmond, Anaïs Demoustier as Mercédès, Bastien Bouillon, Anamaria Vartolomei, Laurent Lafitte, & Julien De Saint Jean. After 14 years in the island prison of Château d’If, Dantes manages to escape. Now rich beyond his dreams, he assumes the identity of the Count of Monte Cristo and will exact his revenge. Everyone who has seen this so far says it’s fantastic! One of the best adaptations of this classic story yet – looks like a must watch. Enjoy.
