  1. Jim is only 14 years older than Henry, but they both have the body of a Roman god, and the face of an angel.

  2. I've read the novel, cover to cover. It's rather tedious in many sections. Far too much unnecessary description of irrelevant information. For example details about carriages, weapons, horses. In the novel, Edmond was far more vengeful than in this adaptation. I do like this adaptation. I like Jim Caviziel, he's a great actor, and so dashing handsome. Henry Cavill looked so sweet and innocent. Dagmara was much older than teenaged Henry, and seduced him. Guy Pearce played a good part as the bad guy, he was throughly unlikeable.

  3. Dumas was black. He was decended from a plantation owner. He became very wealthy. But the character of Edmond was a white French man. He would have been very pale whilst incarcerated in the Chateaux d'If for 14 years. Perhaps any new adaptation could include smugglers and sailors who are darker skinned, as they'd be outside in the sunshine. Some of the wealthy people at the parties could be people with darker skin, such as Mercedes, who was really a Catalonian. But if you want to stay true to the novel, written by a black man, then you can't suddenly make all of the main characters black just to appease woke Hollywood.

  4.  @lucialu833  except for Mercedes and her cousin, who are technically Catalonian. Also not sure where priest was from, or the smugglers. But main characters all French. In the novel he marries a girl who I think is a Greek princess or similar.

  5. Driftwood was Edward's smuggler name.

  6. Creepy how Dagmara was photographing teenaged Henry Cavill on set. She seduced him whilst they filmed The Count of Monte Cristo.
