Dafter the presentation at the Rome Film Festivalstarting tonight January 13th arrives on Rai 1 The Count of Monte Cristo. Four-part event series produced by Palomar (a Mediawan Company) in collaboration with DEMD Productions and in collaboration with Rai Fiction, France Télévisions, Mediawan Rights and Entourage Media.
Directed by Bille August, the series she is played by Sam Claflin (Edmond Dantès-The Count of Monte Cristo). Next to him: Mikkel Boe Følsgaard (Gérard Villefort), Ana Girardot (Mercedes), Blake Ritson (Danglars). And Karla-Simone Spence (Haydée)Lino Guanciale (Vampa-Il Conte Spada), Michele Riondino (Jacopo), Gabriella Pession (Hermine Danglars). And again Harry Taurasi (Fernand), Poppy Corby-Tuech (Héloïse), Nicolas Maupas (Albert), Amaryllis August (Valentine), Jason Barnett (Caderousse). Without forgetting Jeremy Irons in the role of Abbot Faria.
“My revenge will be equal to their guilt,” he says at one point Edmond Dantès. And the fault of Villefort, Danglars and Fernand is enormous: having plotted against him by accusing him of being a Bonapartist conspirator to each gain an advantage for themselves. Intrigue, conspiracy, hate and love, forgiveness and revenge, hope and desperation: these are the great themes which are intertwined in the famous nineteenth-century novel written by Alexandre Dumas.
