DUBAI: “The Three Musketeers: Milady” premiered in France this week, with French Algerian actress Lyna Khoudri and French star Eva Green on hand to celebrate the release of the film. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle The movie, which is expected to hit French theaters on Dec. 13, is the second part of the film “The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan,” which was released in April this year. The film, directed by French filmmaker Martin Bourboulon, is an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic French novel with the same name. The Dumas novel has repeatedly been turned into a film, but it has been more than a decade since the last film adaptation of “The Three Musketeers.” Khoudri plays the role of Constance Bonacieux, the love interest of D’Artagnan, who is the most famous of the musketeers. In the latest movie segment, D’Artagnan (portrayed by actor François Civil) is compelled to collaborate with Milady (Green) in order to rescue Constance, who was kidnapped. However, with the declaration of war and Athos, Porthos, and Aramis already enlisted on the front lines, a hidden secret from the past disrupts longstanding alliances. Khoudri, 30, first rose to prominence in her role as Nedjma in Mounia Meddour’s critically acclaimed drama “Papicha.” For her work in the film, she won the Orizzonti Award for best actress at the 74th Venice Film Festival, and she was nominated in the Cesar Awards’ most promising actress category. Khoudri also starred in the 2019 mini-series “Les Sauvages” and in 2016’s “Blood on the Docks.” Notably, she was cast in Wes Anderson’s 2021 comedy “The French Dispatch” alongside Timothee Chalamet, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, and Owen Wilson. Last month, she attended the Marrakech International Film Festival, wearing a chic Chanel outfit. She attended the ceremony alongside other A-list stars, including Faical Laraichi, Tilda Swinton, Jessica Chastain — who is this year’s festival jury head — Isabelle Huppert and Melita Toscan du Plantier. Khoudri joins the ever-growing list of rising Arab stars working their way up the ladder in Hollywood, such as Ramy Youssef, Tahar Rahim, Dali Benssalah, and Mena Massoud.
