Hollywood star Milla Jovovich lit up the red carpet at the world
premiere of The Three
Musketeers - and issued a sharp warning to her director husband if the
film was not to her
liking. Jovovich stars in the latest adaptation of the Alexandre Dumas
story, and is married to its
director Paul WS Anderson. At the star-studded premiere at west
London's Westfield shopping centre, the actress and
model said: "I haven't seen the finished product so if it isn't good
my husband's going to
get a hook in the ribs with a short stick." The American actress, who
also plays the lead in Anderson's Resident Evil films, wore a
slinky gold and black gown by Salvatore Ferragamo, but said her
costumes in the film
were far less comfortable. She said: "Fighting in the corset and the
30lb skirt is one of the hardest things I've ever
done in an action film so I hope everyone enjoys it." Pirates Of The
Caribbean actor Orlando Bloom plays the Duke of Buckingham, who he
describes as "a little bit of a baddie" in the film. He said the 3D
film was a modernised and tongue-in-cheek version of the story,
adding:
"We've got big, bold airships in 3D, how do you like that? 100 years
too soon for an
airship but no one's holding that against us are they?" Anderson, who
said his wife "looks just ravishing" in the period dresses she had to
wear,
was not bracing himself for being attacked by Jovovich. "She's my
harshest critic and I'm her biggest fan, so when she's happy it makes
me very
happy, and so far she's been happy," he said. Also on the red carpet
were cast members Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans and Ray
Stevenson, who play the Three Musketeers, Logan Lerman, Freddie Fox
and Gabriella
Wilde.
