The Les Mis movie is different to all of these however in one big respect – the live singing of its musical numbers. Les Miserables is not the first musical to be turned into a big screen adaption: Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita and Mamma Mia are just a few of the theatre productions which have been given the Hollywood treatment.
The trailer offers a hint as to how sensational the film in completion will look, and with sneak peeks at moments such as Valjean and the other convicts being put to work and the students on the barricades, it has a real sense of grittiness to it which suggests that director Tom Hooper (the Oscar-winning director of The King’s Speech) has completely captured the intensity of this epic story. The trailer uses scenes featuring Hugh Jackman as Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, Samantha Barks as Eponine and Anne Hathaway as Fantine, played over a haunting voice track of the latter singing the ballad ‘I Dreamed A Dream’. Apart from a few photo stills, this trailer is the first real look fans have had at the film though and it has certainly fanned the anticipatory flames for the December 2012 cinema release. The internet is such an integral part of modern society that these ‘trending words’ are constantly changing, and with the release of the first official trailer of the Les Miserables movie today, I wouldn’t be surprised to find that this was the most searched phrase of Wednesday 30 th May 2012.įilming for the big screen adaption of the long-running West End musical has been underway for weeks now, and inevitably, the odd sneaky video of this process has appeared online. A poll run in 2011 found that the Top Five most googled words were Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo, Google (ironically inane, but there it is) and sex (not porn, as most would expect, but close enough).
