Directors\u00a0Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patelli\u00e8re, the dynamic screenwriting duo behind last year\u2019s Three Musketeers blockbusters, now take on Alexandre Dumas\u2019s swashbuckling 19th century epic of lost love and single-minded vengeance and bring it to the big screen with a stellar ensemble cast and lavish production values. The tale begins with a heroic young first mate, Edmond Dant\u00e8s (consummate French film star Pierre Niney), freshly promoted to ship\u2019s captain and finally in a position to marry his secret love. However, on the very morning of their wedding day, Edmond is wrongfully arrested for a crime he knows nothing of \u2014 a plot hatched by three of the most ruthless of rivals\u2014 and shipped off to the formidable Ch\u00e2teau d\u2019If prison, off the coast of Marseille\u2026 But the story certainly doesn\u2019t end there, as filmmakers and author, alike, delve into a microscopic examination of the nature of revenge, justice, mercy and forgiveness.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
