PS to Innis_mor: Is Jackie Evancho your daughter,granddaughter,sister or niece?


I kid!

There was a rumor about Eponone - some girl who won one of those TV talent shows in England.

Could you be thinking of Samantha Barks? She came in third for I'd Do Anything, and she played Eponine in the 25th Anniversary Concert.

Why, I'm so glad you have linked to your sources.

it doesn't attribute the quote directly to Hugh about Emma Watson's non-casting. It could be Baz adding the info from other sources.

Thanks -- I actually had read both of those a while ago; it just pisses me off when people don't link their stuff.

Here's a link to that particular Jackman tweet: https://twitter.com/#!/RealHughJackman/status/125637389623369728

Anne Hathaway has been confirmed in the role of Fantine, by Cameron Mackintosh himself - in a BBC radio interview:

Check it out at around 28'30" -- he also says that Hugh has arrived in London - so the interview must have been only a few days old.

I assume the call for dancers will be something to do with the wedding scene.

He actually said he didn't know how long post-production would take. I have to believe they will do everything to make that Dec. 7 date (sounds like five-six months in post if it finishes in June), otherwise it won't come out for another year since this looks like it's viewed as an Oscar-bait movie.
