I see upthread that you are a costume geek. Have you been following the pix from Orlando's latest, The Three Musketeers? I want to MARRY the costume designer. Seriously. I've never seen the like. There are three fabulous pix at Brenda's LJ, and even more here.

That first commenter said it: "Oh. My. God." I had seen a glimpse of the burgundy colored costume, but that blue one is amazing! And I adore the hair, and his pearl earring. *g* I hope the movie is as wonderful as the costumes!
Mind-boggling, isn't it? So, so gorgeous. Poor Orlando may not love being cast in an endless stream of costume epics, but you gotta admit, he was made to wear period dress. So very pretty.
And the movie could suck and I think the costumes would still be worth the price of admission. Eye candy FTW!
*wide eyes* Until now, I believed that after the 1973 version, any new is needless, but I feel I can change my mind. I wouldn't watch it for Orlando, but now I want to watch it for... for THIS! (Yes, another costume geek here).
Ooooh, I'm SO happy you're a fan of the '73 version, one of the best movies EVER in my opinion. So hilarious, so well done. I adore Richard Lester's directorial style (I was a huge Beatles fan and saw A Hard Days Night about fifteen times in the theater), and Michael York -- holy cats, was he funny or what? And Raquel Welch? I remember the night we saw it in the theater, one of the best movie-going experiences ever.
Heh, maybe not as much as a fan (not as for PotC, for sure), but every other version I remember was, hmm, too plain and Hollywoodish. The '73 had such a specific flavour, so autoironical. All in all it was more screwball comedy (the king counting the diamonds in the dance! :D ) than Oh-So-Heroic-Action-Movie. And characters! York was perfectly brave and silly, eager and green, honourable and naive. Raquel was born for costume. And there was the best Milady ever.
