Rolling off “The Three Musketeers,” Pathé and Dimitri Rassam’s Chapter 2 (a Mediawan company) have unveiled the teaser and poster for their next period epic, “The Count of Monte-Cristo,” starring Pierre Niney (“Yves Saint Laurent,” “Black Box”) in the title role.

based on Alexandre Dumas’ literary masterpiece, the film tells the story of a young man, Edmond Dantes, who becomes the target of a sinister plot and is arrested on his wedding day for a crime he did not commit.

Now rich beyond his dreams, he assumes the identity of the Count of Monte-Cristo and exacts his revenge on the three men who betrayed him. Pathé will give the movie a wide release in French theaters on June 28.

The film is directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière,who penned the two-part epic “The Three Musketeers.”The pair described “The Count of Monte-Cristo” as a “veritable myth mixing several cinematic genres – adventure and thriller, layered on top of an immensely powerful love story.” They also said Edmond Dantes was “the first French superhero, who steps from the light into the shadows, assuming the identity of masked avenger.”

“The Count of Monte-Cristo” is co-produced by M6 Films and will be broadcast on M6, Canal+ and Ciné+. Fargo Films is a co-producer.

“’Monte-Cristo’ is a formidable challenge. We are humbly taking on this extraordinary fresco comprising adventure, romance, thriller and vengeance,” Rassam said in a statement. “Pathé and I are thrilled to work once again with Matthieu and Alexandre, who had the talent needed to respect the DNA of this masterpiece, even as they came up with a modern and truly cinematic vision.”
