Les Miserables - Christmas Day

[Dr. Jones]

A new version with some serious star power.

I am not a huge musical fan.... But my wife took me to see an off broadway production of this and I loved it.

This looks even better...

Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) is directing Les Miserables, an adaptation of the successful stage musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel set in 19th-century France, in which a paroled prisoner named Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) seeks his redemption. Alain Boublil adapted his own work with Claude-Michel Schonberg, who also wrote the stage musical, Herbert Kretzmer and William Nicholson. The film also stars Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen and Eddie Redmayne and will hit theaters everywhere on December 25th, Christmas Day, this winter. Sounds good!

They also didn't pre-record the songs. They really sang as they filmed. Quite unusual for a movie musical.

You are the only person I know what feels that way.

Chap, have you seen "We have a Pope" yet? Good show.

I hated Chicago. And think this version is completely different from past versions.

They showed some of this in the First Look video on the itunes site. It looks like a really good idea.
