Excitement Grows For Les Misérables

Excitement is building Les Misérables.
The beloved, global stage sensation Les Misérables, which has been smashing box office records for 27 years, has been adapted into a motion-picture by the Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper.
The Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production, which stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Amanda Seyfried, premieres on Christmas Day in the United States and will be on UK general release from 11th January 2013.
Anticipation has been building for the feature length film due to the stellar cast which also includes Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen and the strong behind-the-scenes team, led by The King's Speech's Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper. His spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic tale has been hailed as his best work yet and he has been credited for his detailed sets which have helped create the dramatic backdrop of 19th-century France and the perfect environment for the cast to shine.
The plot centres around ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman), who is 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 stage show is one of the world's longest-running musicals and the film features some of its iconic songs—including I Dreamed a Dream, Bring Him Home, One Day More and On My Own. Early previews are dominated by mentions of Anne Hathaway's rendition of I Dreamed a Dream from her role as Fantine. In recent interviews she shared her fear of singing the stand-out anthem of the story and also revealed that her mother starred in the stage version in her younger years, which added to her inspiration for the role. Director, Tom Hooper has praised her performance, describing her as 'breathtaking' in 'Les Misérables’.
The UK waits in anticipation for 11th January 2013 for the release of what is surely destined to become a classic family film.
