The original is one of my favorite movies, a rich and layered historical drama. Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by the almost simultaneous release of Shakespeare in Love, which also featured Joseph Fiennes and took place in Elizabethan England (albeit a little later during the Queen's rule).
I'm curious to see what they do with this one. Of course, unless they bring back the stellar acting talents of Eric Cantona, it just won't be the same.

Have you seen Dangerous Beauty? It's about 16th century (or thereabouts, if I remember correctly) courtesans learning the prostitution trade and falling in love. Really good. Put it on your Netflix if you haven't seen it...I remember Oliver Platt having a good role in it.
