The Les Miz Trailer: Anne Hathaway Sings!
Les Misérables doesn't come out until Christmastimes, but Universal is giving the hungry theater queens a quick Q-Tip tap in the form of this first trailer. In the trailer, Anne Hathaway coughs out a few slightly weak musical notes before we see a raggedy Hugh Jacksmen (who still looks cleaner than Brad Pitt) as the bread stealer, Russell Crowe as Javert, Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Eddie Redmayne as Marius and Samantha Barks as Eponine. You know, I used to be one of those hating bitches who felt like the ghost of Donny Hathaway would make a better Fantine than Anne Hathaway, but this trailer has sort of changed my mind. Bitch isn't supposed to sound all polished and pretty. Bitch sold her hair and is wearing fingerless gloves. You would cry through the musical notes too if you looked like a Brooklyn hipster going to a backyard barbecue. Bitch is dreaming of a shower and a gift certificate to Supercuts so she can fix that busted, jagged ass haircut. It's a tragic story.
That being said, I still wished this movie starred Susan Boyle as Fantine, a bunch of stray cats as the other roles and Epponnee-Rae from Kath & Kim as Eponine.

I've only seen the movie (which I own) & I LOVED it! I'm trying to imagine how some of the scenes would have played out on stage.
I've also only seen movie versions of My Fair Lady, West Side Story & Fiddler on the Roof (unless you count lame high school productions, which I do not).
crazyinjapan, evil_cupcake, I didn't know that, I loved Hedwig and the Angry Inch! Not much into musicals but every so often if one comes on, I have been known to watch and enjoy the songs! lol *busted* ;)

My creative idead for the day: Susan Boyle + cats in 'O! Calcutta'.
Heh, I would have paid triple to see that Susan Boyle version. It would have been an LOL Cats Extravaganza.
Anyway, I hate that bitch Hathaway but even I have to admit she did a great job with Fantine's big number. The fact that she looks rough and is kicked around by hos is just gravy. And the character dies! Now that's the way to use Hathaway - not letting her parade around as Catwoman as if she could even kiss Michelle Pfeiffer's toes, much less Julie Newmar's. Feh.
Evil, yup, it was an off-Broadway production before it got a cult following and then they made it into a movie.

Best musical ever--Hedwig and the Angry Inch!

I loved that movie.
Was it an actual stage musical too?

Isn't it weird how in America, whenever someone is playing someone, say, French or German, instead of using the original language and subtitles, they all have English accents? Wot?

I always thought it weird to have a musical about the begining of the French Revolution without any French actors in it.
It doesn't take place during the revolution, but in the 1830's.
I'll wait for the Tim Burton version, starring Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Valjean. can't wait.

It was the 60's. Gangs were more...eh...prancy, I guess. :-)
LOVE musicals, except for maybe Rent.
I agree contrario, it's more Dickens in feel than Hugo, but HBC is in it, so I for one think it will work...for me anyway.
AH doesn't sound too bad, who knew.

Hate musicals. Hate them. Blurgh.
It is taken down already...why do studios take down trailers online and then pay a bunch of money to have them play before movies and on TV?

Do Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe have a sword fight?
maybe not on screen, but i betcha they crossed swords at some point during filming . . . ;-)

My favourite musical is "Blood Brothers".
I know this probably marks me out as hopelessly uncultured, but I just don't like most of the classic ones that people here are talking about. WTH was up with Rent? And Hair?
Or West Side Story, for that matter. I had a music teacher who decided that the class MUST see it, and we would like it. Or - the Great Unspoken - there would be consequences.
That may have ruined it for me, come to think of it.

imo, it's the best 15 seconds of "STFU and STFD" in movie history.
ETA: please allow me to toss "Billy Rose's Jumbo" onto the list of good movie musicals.

little_rascal -- OMG, "On the Street Where You Live" is one of the most romantic songs ever written (from "My Fair Lady") -- love it!!!
Speaking of Musicals...I went and saw Newsies two weeks ago. If you love dancing and/or the movie with Christian Bale from 1992...it was AMAZZZZZZING.
I loved Wicked, Rent, Chicago. Hated Lion King.
That's all I got.

Welcome to MelGibsonTown, ya drunk bitch. - Nanners 05/30/2012
Judging from the trailer, this movie completely lacks French mood. It may have the right French accent on the 'E'... but it feels more like Dickens than Victor Hugo.
This trick must want an oscar like a rapid dog eyeing a pork chop.

Miss your fucked up ways on my fucked up days.
I am waiting for Guys and Dolls remake (the orgingal movie with Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando was eh for me) Saw it on stage and LOVED it. Also waiting for a remake of the stage musical Sunset Blvd. If it's not the musical I'll take the Gloria Swanson movie remake starring Angelina Jolie and no one else.

Su-Bo is a hard act to follow

Fuck off! Her version is utter shite.
Ruthie Henshall's version in the 10th Anniversary concert is THE version to date.
Su-fucking-Bo. pfft. Useless tuneless cunt.
That preview looks pretty good.
My favorite musical of all time is "Fiddler on the roof".
From someone who is going through Anne Hathaway fatigue, I gotta admit, she sounds and looks great as Fantine. She sings better than supposed "singer-actress" Goopy, too. I had to add that in bc I am petty, but mostly bc I am right.

I'll agree. I always think I hate musicals, but then I find myself singing songs from them. All the damn time.
Today it was "Easy Street" from "Annie". Last night it was "Edelweiss" (there was something about it on NPR, so that's why it was stuck in my head).

Weezy, West Side Story was on TV about a month ago and I'd never seen the whole thing only little clips so I thought OK I'll watch it WTF!!! lol. OK I know it's a classic but Sweet Geezuz what a bunch of pretty boy pussies they all were. These guys were suppose to be tough??

When I was a kid, my mom dragged me to Starlight Express during a trip to London. I think I liked it because of the rollerskates. Years later I had to put a stop to them buying tickets for me to see musicals when we were in New York or L.A on vacations. My confession on hating musicals was met with both shock and anger. LOL!

So I did a little research on cats 'n' q-tips (since MK is so obsessed with feline sexuality, I felt compelled to read into this subject):
http://everything2.com/title/How+to+calm+a+cat+in+heat
I learned that:
- you can spot the cats vagina 'cause it's 'exposed and puffy'.
- 'you are finished when the cat is finished'.
I don't q-tips would help out your standard show-tume gay though...
