Blogger and translator Dmitry “Goblin” Puchkov in an interview with a newspaper “Appearance” He expressed the opinion that the movie “The Three Musketeers” starring the dark-skinned D’Artagnan would fail at the box office because people were not interested in such a movie.
“The main criterion in Western cinema is money. If people are not interested, if people are not interested, they will not go to watch, and just like all these novelties about the lords of the rings, the houses of the dragon, it will fail at the box office – no one watches, no one cares, it is boring anyway, ”- Puchkov noted.
At the same time, he recalled that in the Soviet production of the novel “Treasure Island” the main character of Jim Hawking was played by a girl, but this did not bother anyone, because it showed the director’s ingenuity. Puchkov believes that skin color does not play a special role if the audience is interested in the plot of the tape.
Previously singer Mikhail Boyarsky said he would be happy to watch the new adaptation of The Three Musketeers with dark-skinned D’Artagnan.
