On broadwayworld.com there is the Les Miz video that's amazing! Obviously someone had to film that. What do you think the possibilities would be for a videographer to film the ENTIRE revival and sell it? It would be the best of both worlds... being able to hear the revival cast and see the show again and again.

The possibility is greater that in my lifetime, Clay Aiken will come out.

yeah javertjunky, it definetly wont happen. They'd probably get in major legal trouble if they would

Its illegal to do something like this.

What if they legally did it. How is the video on there now legal then?

You'll just have to wait for the movie.

(Which will probably stink)

Which will probably never be made, actually--not for a long time anyway.

There were plans for a movie-version of the musical?

...i had no idea.

There's been talk for years, but look how long Phantom was in talks.

It was an off-the-cuff remark. There has been no mention of any film-version of the musical LES MISERABLES. Judging by the outcome of the film-version of Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, I wouldn't hold my breath for one.

DREAMGIRLS sacrificed (quite successfully) it's sung-thru dialogue, which isn't possible with LES MISERABLES, thus it just won't work as a motion picture. Live theater is one thing; motion pictures are another.

Yeah, like...back in 1985.

Here's some news from 1992

The clips on this site are legal as they are the press clips, released to most every media outlet.

I think they should make a production video at some point, it would turn out better than a movie IMO.

"The film version of Les Misérables will be produced by Tri-Star Pictures and Cameron Mackintosh and will be directed by Bruce Beresford ("Driving Miss Daisy," "Breaker Morant"). Production is scheduled to begin in early 1993."

...that obviously panned out nicely...

they have a regular movie that came out then based on Hugo's book but it is not a musical

Buy the 10th Anniversary Concert at Royal Albert Hall DVD. Released by the producers. Has Colm Wilkinson (the original) as Jean Valjean and Lea Salonga as Eponine, among others. They also released the CD.

Thanks, LizzieCurry.
