Also, Sasha Cohen and Sacha Baron Cohen are not the same person.
And as far as I know, Robert Downey Jr is not related to Morton Downey Jr.
I was impressed when Christopher Lloyd went from playing Doc Brown in Back to the Future to creating a hit comedy like Modern Family.
Actually, they are. His character work is AMAZING!
Well, as long as Weird Al is still Frankie Yankovic’s kid…
Easy mnemonic: DUmas is two guys, UNOmas is, umm, well, it’s now it’s three guys. With more joining in all the time. So never mind.
There was a movie in 2002.
Seems to me the Lady of the Camelias/Camille used to be more familiar in the past, I suppose the larger number of adaptations of the Elder Dumas’ works in film/TV have increased the disparity in recognition.
Well, there’s how every adaptation ever done of it has been claimed to fall short somewhere but that (a) is an accusation made at every adaptation of everything and (b) is not surprising since it is a rather complex piece of work and producers end up having to cut or composite something – to do it in full ISTM would require more than a conventional miniseries. We’re talking full season and maybe two. Also it fails to have the sort of ending that mass media studios like to have. But I can see transposing it to a modern environment could be an interesting alternative, even with regards to how you map specific aspects of it to a different world than Dumas’ . One can imagine using cancel-culture or tabloid journalism to bring down some of the enemies, and the stock market manipulation can be translated into some of the known shenanigans of our age.
“Who are Alexandre Dumas, Alex!”
Although I work, and seldom cease,
At Dumas pere and Dumas fils,
Alas, I cannot make me care
For Dumas fils and Dumas pere.
~Dorothy Parker
I just found out that La Dame aux Caméllias is called “Camille” in English. And people complain about the translations of titles to Spanish… 
You know, Camille starts with a long detailed sequence of Armand having Marguerite exhumed from a pauper’s grave, and then viewing the decomposed corpse in lush graphic prose.
It’s no wonder Fils ain’t as well known as Pere.
That was in period. I’m looking for an update where he (or she) breaks out of Folsom and goes from there.
True - but why not try again? It’s hollywood. They remake things all the time.
I think I watched about 5 minutes of that. I had no idea it was supposed to be CoMC - but, if so, that’s the kind of thing I was thinking about. But maybe a little closer to the story.
Yeah but of late they’re sticking to what they already know is a sure sale (how many *&^%$ times are we going to reboot Spiderman/Batman?). But like I said, doing this particular thousand-pager right would probably have to be done in an HBO-style long season format and then you fight against audience attention span, or even worse, it being succesful and then studio execs wanting to milk it further and add more things, which would be a shame.
Which I enjoyed, although I haven’t read the novel. Most Dumas fans disliked it, I gather. Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzRSVl8UewM
Yes, we think the Wishbone adaptation is the most faithful.

As an aside when did voiceovers stop in trailers? Screams 1990’s, though it’s an early 2000’s production.
Probably when Don LaFontaine died in 2008.
I read that book (in English) when I was about 14, after I saw the Greta Garbo movie. Wow, is it interesting to read when you are 14. My parents didn’t tell me about any of that stuff, and they told me a lot.
That was almost 20 years ago.
I know, I know, it sounds crazy but it’s true. I looked it up, did the math twice.
Vingt ans apres?
