Les Miserables The Movie Christmas 2012

Post by jdmag44 »

This ambitious film should be wonderful. Use of "live voice" singing during filming and not prerecorded is a new approach which should give the film a dramatic realism not usually seen in musicals brought to the screen.

WOW!!! The trailer gives me chills... What effect will the movie have???

Somehow, I am can't quite see Russell Crowe as Javert - can he really sing? Javert has that moving solo that I can't quite see Crowe doing - there is a brief scene of him singing in the trailer, but it did not sound too good... But I promise not to jump to conclusions without seeing the movie!

Thanks for the link Joe!

I had very similar feelings Maria. But yes the trailer gave me goosebumps too. It appears that the creative team wanted people with the acting chops to do this great story justice and looked for great actors who could also sing. The stage musical had all sung dialogue and it appears that the movie has spoken dialogue as well as all the music. It certainly seems to be a monumental undertaking by some very talented and creative people. I am anxious to see it.

Russel Crow had a rock group in his early days.

I have been excited about this movie all year, since I first heard the cast list. The first screening of the film was Friday at Lincoln Center. Based on this review it looks like it will be a big hit. :D
These armies of “Les Miz” fans will not be disappointed by this film. Something tells me they will see it three and four times.

This early reviewer loved the movie and especially Anne Hathaway's performance.

I absolutely love this musical and let me tell you, the trailer is fantastic! If it's as fantastic as it looks, we can expect a good weekend at the Box Office and some Oscar Buzz. It has everything going for it, great music, great cast, well-known director... We'll see if it follows through!

Here's a preview of the new song "Suddenly" written for the movie by the original composers. :D
