The Man In The Iron Mask was pretty good with that, but they could go with solid character guys for the Four because they had Leo for sex appeal. The Sutherland/Sheen/Platt/Chris O'Donnell one was quite obviously a Brat Pack cash-in attempt. It can't be like that with this one, although one suspects that it will be. The action will be kinda eh, typical sword fights and what not, and the historical accuracy will be nil, but then again the original story wasn't all that accurate to begin with.

Malkovich was cool, so was DiCaprio as the evil man. Some bad writing and action though, the story is quite cool though, they should redo that one instead.
