Whenever I think of "The Three Musketeers," I hear in my head the 1993 ballad "All For Love." That song, written by Bryan Adams and sung by Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting, was part of Disney's plan to bring Alexandre Dumas' classic tale of 17th century bodyguard buddies to the MTV generation. Another way of updating the story for a hip, young audience was to cast hot actors like Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen as the legendary heroes in order to make the film like a "Young Guns" for the swashbuckling genre.
