Les Misérables is an upcoming British epic musical drama film produced by Working Title Films and distributed by Universal Pictures based on the musical of the same name, which is in turn based on an 1862 French novel by Victor Hugo.

The film is directed by Tom Hooper, written by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer, and stars an ensemble cast led by Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe. Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne, Amanda Seyfried, Samantha Barks, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, and Aaron Tveit also star. The film tells the story of Jean Valjean, a former prisoner who becomes mayor of a town in France. Valjean agrees to take care of Cosette, the illegitimate daughter of Fantine, and must avoid being captured again by Javert, a police inspector.

Development of Les Misérables began in the late 1980s. After the musical's 25th anniversary concert, producer Cameron Mackintosh announced that the film resumed development. Hooper and Nicholson were approached in March 2011 and the main characters were cast in 2011. Principal photography of the film commenced in March 2012, and took place in various locations in Winchester, London and Portsmouth in England, as well as Paris in France.

Les Misérables is scheduled to be released on 14 December 2012

Premise

Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), a Frenchman imprisoned for stealing bread, has broken his parole and must flee from police Inspector Javert (Russell Crowe). The pursuit consumes both men's lives, and after two decades on the run, Valjean finds himself in the midst of the 1832 June Rebellion in Paris.


Cast
Main characters

    Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, a Frenchman released from Toulon prison after 19 years of imprisonment for stealing bread and failed attempts for escaping from the prison.

    Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert, a police inspector who releases Valjean on parole, then later dedicates his life to imprisoning him again.

    Anne Hathaway as Fantine, a struggling factory worker and mother of her illegitimate child, Cosette. She is eventually forced to turn to prostitution.

   Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, the illegitimate daughter of Fantine who has grown into a beautiful teenager under Valjean's care and falls in love with Marius.

  Isabelle Allen plays the younger version of Cosette.

  Eddie Redmayne as Marius Pontmercy, a student revolutionary who is friends with the Thenardiers' daughter, Éponine, but falls in love with Cosette. To prepare for the role, Redmayne took singing lessons.

    Samantha Barks as Éponine, the destitute daughter of the Thénardiers who is friends with and secretly pines for Marius. Barks previously played the role at the 25th Anniversary concert and in the West End production from 2010–2011. Taylor Swift had been previously rumored to have been offered the role. Scarlett Johansson, Evan Rachel Wood and Lea Michele were reportedly considered for the role.

    Sacha Baron Cohen as Thénardier, a common thief who is also an innkeeper. He is also the father of Éponine.

    Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thénardier, the unscrupulous innkeeper's wife who, along with her husband, houses and abuses Cosette until Valjean "buys" her from them after Fantine's death. She is also the mother of Éponine. Hooper collaborated with Bonham Carter in The King's Speech, in which she portrayed Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Bonham Carter and Cohen previously co-starred in the film adaptation of the musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

    Frances Ruffelle as a prostitute. Ruffelle portrayed the original Éponine in the West End and Broadway musical productions.

baru aja ngubek2 wikipedia nyari film Les Miserables tahun 1998, ternyata pemain utamanya artis2 top, dari Liam Neeson sampe Claire Danes . sempat nonton juga filmnya sekilas, aktingnya keren ! yang pasti versi terbaru ini bakal dibanding2kan dengan versi sebelumnya

Cast Les Miserables 1998

   Liam Neeson as Jean Valjean
    Geoffrey Rush as Javert
    Uma Thurman as Fantine
    Claire Danes as Cosette
    Mimi Newman as young Cosette
    Hans Matheson as Marius Pontmercy
    Jon Kenny and Gillian Hanna as the Thénardiers
    John McGlynn as Carnot
    Shane Hervey as Gavroche
    Lennie James as Enjolras
    Sylvie Koblizkova as young Éponine

Differences from the novel (Les Miserables 1998)

    The film greatly reduces the roles of many of the characters in the novel, especially the Thénardiers, who are only seen when Valjean buys Cosette from them. Éponine also does not play a major role in the film. She and her sister Azelma only appear in one scene together as children playing at a table in the Thénardier Inn, whilst Cosette makes stockings for them, as their mother calls their names.

    Marius' role is changed from reluctant participant in the Revolution to principal leader, resulting in Enjolras' role to also be changed and reduced. The subplot involving Marius' political shift is also not present.

    Petit Gervais does not appear in the film, therefore the scene in which Valjean steals a coin from him is omitted.

    A large number of names have also been changed. In the novel, Valjean is the mayor of Montreuil-sur-Mer, called Vigau in the film. The man he saves after the cart crash is called Fauchelevent in the novel, Lafitte in the film. The man mistaken for Valjean is called Champmathieu in the novel, Carnot in the film, and the prisoners identifying him are Brevet, Chenildieu and Cochepaille in the novel; the film only changed the last two names to Lombard and Bertin.

    Jean Valjean is functionally illiterate in the film, yet he can read in the novel.

    Many of the events surrounding the love story between Marius and Cosette have been removed, including Marius and the Thénardiers living in the same apartment house as Valjean and Cosette did; the events involving Éponine; the events involving Gavroche; and most of the events involving the Revolution.

    In one scene in the film, Valjean slaps Cosette, which he never did in the novel. In the same scene, Valjean also confesses his past to Cosette, while in the novel he reveals this to Marius, begging him not to say a word to her.

    Valjean does not die at the end of the film as he does in the novel; the film closes with him walking away smiling from where Javert threw himself into the Seine, free from the "shadow of the past" that the Inspector represented. This also leaves out the wedding between Marius and Cosette, along with all other events after Javert's suicide.

Les Mis the best weepy ever? Well, three hours of Russell Crowe singing is enough to make anyone blub: JAN MOIR gives her view from the stalls

As the lights go up in a West London cinema, the emotional impact wreaked by the film Les Miserables becomes all too clear. In the row behind me, four teenage girls are bawling their eyes out, arms draped around each other’s shoulders in a scrum of weepy sorrow.

Across the aisle, a woman crams tissues under both lenses of her spectacles, all the better to mop up the deluge. A man stares into his lap clutching his empty packet of Minstrels, fighting to contain his feelings.

The entire cinema is still. Nobody moves. Nobody rushes off for the exit and the last Tube home. Instead, we all remain in our seats.



We have been stunned into submission by the Les Mis effect; two hours and 37 minutes of relentless death, darkness, sorrow, poverty and Russell Crowe’s singing.

‘It was all I could do not to start sobbing out loud,’ one teary fan told me. Another said: ‘It’s beautiful, it’s amazing — but it’s so completely heartbreaking.’ 

These reactions have been repeated up and down the country since the five-hankie-weepy blockbuster broke box office records when it opened last weekend.

Starring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway alongside Crowe, this new version of the hugely popular stage musical has pushed big emotional buttons from Brighton to Aberdeen.

Normally sedate British film audiences have applauded, cheered and given the film standing ovations. Mostly however, they have just cried and cried and cried as the agony unfolds during this long, dark night of the soul at the cinema.

In my seat at the Vue picture house in Westfield shopping centre, I cried, too. But only when I was charged £2.70 for a 750ml bottle of water.
