Director Paul W.S. Anderson is a tricky gentleman to figure out. His resume includes movies like Event Horizon, Resident Evil, and Death Race — which aren’t exactly “good” but are considered by many to be a lot of fun — as well as movies like Mortal Kombat, Soldier, AVP: Aliens vs. Predators, and Resident Evil: Afterlife — all of which are pretty universally disliked.

As the director finishes up post production on his new movie, The Three Musketeers (which fittingly looks like it could either be a lot of fun or downright horrible), it’s now being reported that his next project will see him venturing to ancient Rome for Pompeii.

The first trailer for director Paul W.S. Anderson‘s new action movie, The Three Musketeers, has been released online.

The movie certainly looks interesting — perhaps even a little too action-packed — as you might expect from an Anderson flick. You can see for yourself by checking out the trailer below; share your thoughts in the comments!

The first poster for Resident Evil and Death Race director Paul W.S. Anderson‘s The Three Musketeers has been released online by Summit Entertainment.

As you’ll be able to tell, the poster isn’t the most eventful you’ll ever see. Then again, the first poster released rarely is all that exciting. Even so, those eager to see how the movie turns out will be happy to take a little peek at the first official release.

There is a lot of concern for the movie, whether it be skepticism toward Anderson’s abilities or the dreaded 3D it will be bathed in, but it’s not all gloomy. As we’ve said, the movie presents a great cast, and they’re sure to try and help it give it a good run. That paired with the fact that some of Anderson’s films, though not heading toward an Oscar win anytime soon, can be considered a lot of fun gives us just a little bit of hope.

Be sure to head below to check out the new poster now.

A few new images from the set of Paul W.S. Anderson‘s new adaptation of The Three Musketeers have shown up online.

The pictures show Mads Mikkelsen (King Arthur, Casino Royale) as Rochefort, and Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief star and former Spider-Man candidate Logan Lerman as the lead, D’Artagnan. It’s not the best peek at Lerman, but as you’ll see, Mikkelsen looks pretty awesome.

We first heard about the movie last September when it was announced that Anderson would be directing his own 3D adaptation of the classic Alexandre Dumas story.

Be sure to continue on and check out some of the first images of the new Three Musketeers now!
