It's been quite a few years since the legendary swashbuckler The Scarlet Pimpernel graced the big screen. Most memorably, he was played by Leslie Howard in the 1934 film version of Baroness Orczy's classic novel. The Pimpernel is the mysterious alter-ego of 18th century English nobleman Sir Percy Blakeney, who pretends to be a cowardly elitist by day to cover his nighttime activities as a heroic fighter for justice. Inspired the recent success of Sherlock Holmes on the screen, the producers hope to make the Pimpernel equally relevant to modern audiences. The film will boast many major stars in cameo roles.
