Three years ago, David Goyer signed on to direct another adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ “The Count of Monte Cristo” for Constantin Films, who were responsible for the *ultra-modern* spin on another Dumas tome, “The Three Musketeers,” and who said that they intended to approach the new adaptation of “The Count Of Monte Cristo” in very much the same way… unfortunately – like a graphic novel. They don’t have to be faithful to any historical or past fictitious account.
They could go in any direction with the lead.
It’s unfortunately not a film adaptation of Tom Reiss’ novel, “The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal, and the Real Count of Monte Cristo.” Although I do wonder, given that “Underground’s” Joe Pokaski writing it, whether there actually might be consideration for a black/bi-racial actor to play the lead role in this version of the famed tale.Īlthough since it’s being reimagined as a present-day story, anything could happen in terms of casting.
