It's funny because she's going to be Fantine. (The one who actually sings this in Les Mis) Look for it this year. It'll be great. Hugh Jackman is Jean Valjean and Russel Crow is Javert.
@dignature123 no, Taylor Swift will be Eponine! Anne will be Fantine. :/ I think Anne will pull off the role of Fantine, but i would have much preferred her as Eponine than T-Swift...
Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russel Crowe(?), Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Barron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne (?), Aaron Tveit (! :D :D <3) in the movie version of the musical of the century. can't fucking wait.
@TheJakeFTW i know i am sooo excited, for amanda and i am so stoked that samantha barks is eponine, and of course frances ruffelle and colm wilkonson are gonna be in it too.!!!
Hugh jackman, Russel crowe, Anne hathaway and Helena bonham carter in the same movie. all singing about how life is miserable. this is going to be the best movie ever...
@MaAniFantasy "On my own, cos someone's a Hugh Jackass. I won't say who, thought Australians were our allies. Turns out down under's kinda shady. Not you Nicole, or any other Aussie. But there's one, Who shall not be named. He stuck his fake retractable claws, into my heart. When he left me, On my Own." A parody of the song 'On My Own' from the play 'Les Miserables', the film version of which will be made, in which both Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman have been cast.
I felt sorry for Anne Hathaway during this Oscar show. She basically had to do the work of 2 people, since James Franco was so weak. It was as if he didn't even want to be there; I was thinking "Why the **** did you volunteer to do this, James?"
That aside, she has a lovely voice and would make a beautiful Fantine, but I don't like the idea of her as Elphaba... not a good fit for the second role imo.
@primaryteacher10, yes Alfie Boe is good bit have you heard Hugh Jackmam sing? He us amazing, but in an ideal world Colm Wilkinson would play the part as he was the best Valjean ever! :)
I think she will be really good but I was upset to hear that Hugh Jackman is playing Jean Valjean. Alfie Boe should be playing that role! He is fabulous!
@PrimaryTeacher10 However, Hugh Jackman's name and vocal style will definitely pull in a larger crowd. Alfie is amazing, but I'm sure producers worried that his operatic style would put off casual moviegoers. Too bad. But I think Hugh will do a good job. I'm just annoyed that they seem to be shooting for ALL A-lists when there are so many talented stage actors who would be cast in a world without money. Les Mis is popular enough, they don't have to blind us with stars.
@siseo05 I have to say I agree with you about the non A-List stage talent for the remaining main characters. There is still Marius, Cosette and Eponine to cast so I wonder who they will choose. Hopefully people who are less known. What do you think of Geoffrey Rish as Thenardier?
@PrimaryTeacher10 Slightly disturbed. Does he sing? I think he's a great actor, but for now I'm suspending judgment. If this weren't an adaptation of the musical, I think I'd be fine with it. And of course I've already gotten used to him as Javert in the '98 film, so this is kind of a switch for me.
@helenszone Hopefully what they'll make is the movie musical version. If I'm going to the theaters to see a movie with Les Miserables in the title, I'd expect to hear singing! Just saying, you know. That's omnitrixian for ya! :)
I think she has a great voice. Most actors or actresses are basically forced to sing because of their contract, but unfortunately cant sing worth crap. But SHE however, CAN sing. And she can sing great!
Alright, what stuck out to me in this video was not the funny lyrics. It was the fact that Anne Hathaway, one of my favorite actresses, can *sing*! I really want to see her in the Les Mis movie now.
She would be a PHENOMENAL Nessarose in Wicked! She does NOT have the vocal chops for Elphaba though ~ she just doesn't. It's like when people say Amy Adams should play Glinda! Ahem, I mean, come on! Cute voices do not equal strong ones. Hathaway has a pleasant singing voice however. ;)
Hugh really copped a roasting...
