Universal Pictures has released a new character poster for the great looking big screen adaptation of the classic musical Les Misérables. It features Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean. The Tom Hooper-directed movie also stars Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Miserables 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.
The movie is scheduled to be released on December 25th. I imagine we'll get another trailer sometime soon. Hopefully we get to hear one or more of the other cast members singing one of the classic songs. Who do you think will end up having the best singing voice in the movie?
