New 'Three Musketeers' Movie in 2011 - however...
...It will be filmed in 3D, it will be 'modernized', and it will be produced by Paul W.S. Anderson ('Resident Evil'). Anderson may also direct, though this has not been confirmed.
A variety of sources are reporting on this:
Certainly all those pokey swords are going to look extra-pokey in 3D, anyway...Wonder if Milla Jovovich will be Milady? - Den of Geek

Anderson: “We are definitely modernizing...without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece. In our film, corsets and feathered hats don’t take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance and adventure.” - Movie Moron

Do a Google search and you'll find even more articles.
Paul W.S. Anderson has become hated in fan circles for taking hugely popular geek titles and reinventing them unnecessarily into something worse. When we all dreamt of Aliens vs Predators, how many of us chose to set that dream in an underground pyramid on earth? None of us. When we played Resident Evil for the first time, didn’t we all want to see that mansion come to life? Instead he gave us an all-new story set in an underground office block. In fact, what is it about Paul Anderson setting stuff that wasn’t underground, underground? - Movie Moron
Probably because it's cheaper, but that's a debate for another time.
The Movie Moron site also goes on to name their favorite post-Lester version of 'Musketeers' to date - the animated camp kids classic 'Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds'.
Arf, arf.
Did we also mention that there's an animated female version of 'Musketeers' starring a certain bestselling doll coming out on DVD later this month? Go, Barbie!
