Von der Len will direct a new film adaptation of Dumas's masterpiece "The Count of Monte Cristo", with Jack Huston writing and starring in the script, and his representative works include "The Foreigner" and "American Hoax". Both Von der Len and Jack Houston will also serve as executive producers, and Constantine Pictures is already selling the film.
The classic story of revenge and redemption, the Count of Monte Cristo, has been made into film and television many times. This version will be set in Asia and the United States, with Jack Houston playing Nicolas Cristo, a destitute man who has been betrayed and thrown into prison for more than a decade to find justice in today's more brutal and corrupt world. Constantine Pictures said the film would add some flavors of "Battle of Succession", "Old Boy" and "Rush to Kill" to create a hot, grand Eastern and Western story thriller.
Regarding the new film directed by Von der Len, netizens also showed two completely different attitudes, and its fans and fans were naturally "ecstatic", but many netizens also questioned this.
Feng Delun has been directing films since 2005, and the self-directed and self-acting "Jingwu Family" Douban score is 5.7, "Jump Out" Douban score is 5.3, "Tai Chi 1: Starting from Scratch" Douban score is 5.7, "Tai Chi 2: Rise of Heroes" Douban score is 5.9, "Rogue League" Douban score is 5.2, etc. Because most of the films directed by Von der Leyen have a relatively general reputation, there will be doubts.
"The Count of Monte Cristo" has been made into film and television works many times, and the reputation is good. I hope that Von der Len can show better strength and make a good movie.
