Is Taylor Swift taking her singing talents to the big screen? I'm Joslyn Davis for ClevverTV with the answer. Rumors that Taylor Swift could be joining the cast of a new Les Mis movie adaptation have been circulating for several months now, but today Twitchfilm.com is reporting that a confirmed offer has gone out to Taylor Swift for the Eponine. And Taylor's not the only blonde beauty to have received an offer for this film -- the same site reports that Amanda Seyfried has been offered the role of Cossette. If this news is true and Taylor Swift does take on this role, she will have allegedly beat out Broadway alum and Glee star Lea Michelle, as well as Tony Winner Scarlett Johansson. Filming is expected to start in March and the release date should come later this year on December 7th. No word on whether or not Taylor has accepted the offer, but we'd love to hear from you guys.

Les Miserables is not just a musical. its is the best production I have ever seen in my entire life! And I have been waiting for the movie for a long time now and I find out that some country pop star is going to play my favorite character. no. just I cannot accept this. I love her music but I swear that if she gets up on the screen with her country accent I might just blow the biggest temper tantrum in the history of temper tantrums. They are definetly going to lost some seats in the theatres.

Thumbs Up if you want Lea Michele to be Eponine on the Les Mis Movie Adaptation

@urb0tay Lea Solonga was probably one of the greatest Eponine's to perform. But strictly speaking of the movie, she is too old to play the part on screen. Also I think for the film they are probably going for historical and Hugo accuracy in having a mostly Caucasian cast.

TAYLOR SWIFT DIDN'T GET CAST AS EPONINE! Sorry the the caps, I just wanted the message to get across because it seems that not everyone is up to date. Taylor did not get the part, neither did Lea (and I have to say thank God for that...).

[urb0tay]

Uhh... on a scale of 1 to no? Nevermind Lea Michele, what about Lea Salonga - she wouldn't even come CLOSE to her.

Pfffffff Taylor,, Lea is thousand times better! And she deserves it more..

[viperish5]

@katty3twilight Lea deserves it more honey. Lea has experience under her belt. She played a young Eponine before and she;s a better singer than Taylor

[ElijahB31]

Honestly Taylor isn't even that good & Lea has one of the most amazing voices I have ever heard

[chloemikechanggleek]

Yeah congrats to Taylor but how dare she beat lea Michele

[NotTheOrleansMaid]

@katty3twilight

It's not mean to be honest about her limited voice capability compared to a singer like Lea.

[theonewhoisgleek]

I like taylor her voice is good her songs are great but a role as eponie should be sang by a powerfull voice then taylor's so Lea totally should be eponie and don't get me wrong lea is the first one on my top ten list taylor is 5th or 7th anyways lea should play eponie :)
