Some Fun Facts in The Three Musketeers
- 260,000 liters of water were needed to fill the section of the Venetian canal built on Stage 15 at Bablesberg Studio.
- It wasn’t just the actors that required hair and make up; the horse playing ‘Buttercup’ was given grey hair extensions on her mane and around her hooves, transforming her into D’Artagnan’s much loved work-horse.
- In preparation for filming, Logan Lerman and the actors playing The
Three Musketeers were tutored in the fine art of fencing by the German
European Championship gold-medalist, Imke Duplitzer.
- The armory department handcrafted over 800 individual period weapons for filming The Three Musketeers; including guns, pistols, muskets, daggers, rapiers and swords.
- For the scenes involving visual effects, the film crew used 10,000 feet of greenscreen on the stages – that’s nearly 2 miles of fabric.
- For the Venice Vault set, the art department painted 1,800 marble tiles, made 180 gargoyle masks to hang on the walls, and rolled 2,000 scrolls for the vault.
DO YOU KNOW?
The film was shot using the same 3D camera system that Avatar used, ARRI’s new ALEXA digital cameras outfitted on the latest CAMERON | PACE Group FUSION 3D system. Two ALEXA’s are mounted on a “split beam mirror” rig, where one camera is mounted on top of the other, with one camera filming straight through the mirror and a second camera filming downward through the reflection captured on the mirror. The 3D effect is controlled by the FUSION 3D system. Because it was filmed in native FUSION 3D, filmmakers were able to view scenes in 3D on set as they were being shot.
