Hey guys welcome back to ClevverMovies, I'm Tatiana Carrier and today I have the latest casting update on the upcoming movie, Les Miserables.
.
Now this film is getting major press, because not only does it have an A-list cast such as Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Geoffrey Rush attached, it also has Oscar winner Tom Hooper is on to direct. The New York Post is reporting that the coveted lead role of Eponine (EPO-NEEN) is now between four front runners.
.
Right now it is really a toss-up between Scarlett Johansson, Evan Rachel Wood, Lea Michele and Taylor Swift. All of these ladies would bring something interesting to the table. Scarlett is a proven professional in both her acting and her singing, Evan Rachel Wood would bring in a unique side that could be interesting for the role. Lea Michele is an obvious choice since she already has experience with the story line and can clearly hold her own when singing. And then we have Taylor. She hasn't had too much acting experience, so it would definitely be interesting to see how she would take on the role. What do you guys think?
.
Of these four ladies who do you want to see take the lead? Let us know below and make sure to subscribe to our channel to stay updated on all your casting news as it happens. For ClevverMovies I'm Tatiana Carrier and we'll catch you guys next time

The fact people are actually thinking Taylor would be a good Eponine have obviously never seen Les Miserables. She can't sing her own songs live very well and, not trying to be horrible, they are not very challenging. On My Own is difficult for a trained broadway actress and Taylor would murder it. I also cannot imagine her playing a street urchin. Lea Michelle isn't my first choice but if it's between her and Taylor, I'm supporting Lea all the way. But hey, they've already cast Anne Hathaway s

This is my favorite musical and I would love to see how it would differ on the screen. Lea Michelle has played the role of Eponine before and she was amazing. I would love to see her play that role again because she deserves it and connects so well to Eponine. If Taylor plays the role, I don't believe her acting could pull the emotions needed for Eponine and I know I can't judge her singing broadway because I've haven't heard her sing that way before. Eponine sings my favorite songs in Les Mis

@surferdude3451 Russel Crowe is Javert.

So's far as I know, Geoffrey Rush is not in this film. He was in the first movie, with Liam Neeson. But nowhere is he listed in the cast.

@xxxmissblondzyxxx i totally get what you mean! lea is the only singer there, and she's been in les mis before, but when she sings it becomes a soloist performing, not a gig in love with a boy who loves someone else. she is too self centered in her performances, which kinda kills the character, but no one else has had as much experience.

when is it going to premiere?

[surferdude3451]

i think Geoffrey rush is Javert....
