In classic 1987 play by Edmond Rostand, titled Cyrano de Bergerac, the protagonist has an obnoxiously large nose which prevents him from expressing his love to his distant cousin.
But in the modern adaptation of the same work, the nose goes.
Peter Dinklage stars in the debut trailer for period piece musical Cyrano where he becomes involved in a bizarre love triangle.
Uh oh: Peter Dinklage stars in the debut trailer for period piece musical Cyrano where he becomes involved in a bizarre love triangle
The 52-year-old actor stars as the titular character, a cadet in the French army, who falls in love with Roxanne (played by Haley Bennett) who then ends up having love at first sight with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).
As in the original work, Cyrano’s large nose makes him doubt himself in the latest film adaptation it is actually his height. The other difference is Roxanne is a close friend instead of distant cousin.
After declaring that his sole purpose in life is to love Roxanne, the 4feet5 actor could be heard in the trailer saying: ‘The world will never accept someone like me and a tall beautiful woman.’

Roxanne is told by her family to marry someone for money and not love but she ends up falling for a handsome new cadet named Christian de Neuvillette in Cyrano’s regiment.
Cyrano is visibly crushed when Roxanne tells him about her new love interest but being the good friend that he is, he aids in trying to make a love connection between the two.
Christian doubts he has the ‘with, romance, and poetry’ to woo Roxanne but Cyrano – who is a poet – says he will help by writing letters to the beauty using his words but his fellow regiment member’s looks.
