Well, the cast seems solid. No fake diversity nonsense. I'm happy that they are doing what I have always suggested; instead of changing the race/gender/sexual Orientation of an established character, just make a new one. So I applaud them for that. Hopefully the rest of the movie is as good. I'll have to wait for a trailer to make a judgement on that. But yeah, I'm pretty interested in seeing where this goes.

Anyone watched the old version of The three Musketeers from 1948? I haven't watched all the versions, but that old one is easily my favorite thus far, Gene Kelly was impressive in it (& overall the movie's a fun little old fashioned adventure flick). Kelly was not only a great dancer he was clearly a good athlete with some impressive gymnastic abilities, watching this movie it's easy to see why Jackie Chan has often cited Gene as a source of inspiration.
