Les Misérables
http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...83424171_n.jpg Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King's Speech's Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. In January 2013, the world's longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper's sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and “On My Own”—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime. 11th of January 2013 Hugh Jackman | Russle Crowe | Anne Hathaway | Amanda Seyfried | Eddie Redmayne Official Cast Posters: Inspector Javert Spoiler: Jean Valjean Spoiler: Fantine Spoiler: |

Found out today that Aaron Tveit (former 'Fiyero' from Wicked on Broadway) will be in the movie, and also the beloved Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange from Harry Potter) will be Madame Thénardier!
Make sure you have your tickets booked at your local cinema now! |
I know of 2 different people who have walked out lol, apparently it's just song after song, not even much dialogue between songs when it's a movie, there's even dialogue in the actual show but not in the film apparently
|
It's done quite well on IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes though
|
Quote:
Most musicals (Wicked, Oliver, etc.) just have song, then dialogue, then song but it gets boring after a while. With Les Mis, song after song makes it unique and much more special |
I've never seen a production of it, or read it, so I dunno if I'd be the best audience for this
|
If you go on youtube, type in "Les Misérables" it will come up with a 2hr 49m production (25th Anniversary at the O2 Arenea)
