I know a crappy bootleg got posted the other day, and I haven't seen this on here since, and if it is on here already I apologize.

I posted it a few minutes earlier on the "New Les Mis TV spot" thread because the link is not an official upload
But it really doesn't matter -- so long as they do not take it down immediately.
I was sort of trying to hide it - LOL!

Posted: 11/8/12 at 10:38amLet's hope a lot of people get to see it - before the internet Javert comes looking. But I hear it has been uploaded on YouTube now - LOL!

Love it. Now I feel I have seen enough to be satisfied until December.
Edited to remove link...Universal had it removed from youtube.

Isn't this the first one with Russell singing?
Yes. I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of most of what they shared of "One Day More", especially Russell Crowe's part, but it was nice to finally get a hint of how he's going to sound!

EDIT: Just kidding, it's gone.
ENTV has been publishing all the trailers, so I'm assuming they have the rights.

Still think it looks stunning, I was hoping the goosebumps wouldn't just be an IDAD thing. Russell Crowe sounds good, very different to Hugh, I doubt by design but it works. Nice to see some of Eddie and Aaron too.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 1:31pmLooks like Kate Fleetwood has a Factory Worker Cameo.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 4:01pmIt looks pretty nice! Russell Crowe's voice is, uh...well, it's unremarkable, but it doesn't sound actively embarrassing, at least. (see: Jamie Foxx)

Posted: 11/8/12 at 5:12pmLooks fantastic. Not as good as the teaser, but still great. I can't shake the feeling that Anne Hathaway is going to really be incredible in this.

Posted: 11/8/12 at 5:22pmoutside of Crowe's singing, that looked amazing!! is it Christmas yet??
New Les Miz Trailer#17
Posted: 11/8/12 at 5:29pmI have a feeling Miss Hathaway is going to receive love letters from the fans and critics after this is released. The snips of her scenes alone: WOW!

Posted: 11/8/12 at 6:17pmI have to wonder why Samantha Barks isn't listed in the credits with everyone else??

Tveit isn't in there, either. They're only advertising the people with movie careers.

Did not like Russel's singing, but at least he's no Gerard Butler? I'm not a fan of Amanda's either, though I think that's mostly because I really dislike operatic vibrato, which is what she seems to be going for. Other than that- can't wait! Hathaway is going to get praise heaped upon praise for this. Even Hugh is starting to win me over. Also, was it just me, or did anyone think the mixing sounded a little strange in this trailer?
Edited to add: I also think that Samantha Barks is going to be the break-out star of this movie. She may not get an Oscar nod, but this is going to make her famous outside the theater world.

Interesting take on some parts of ONE DAY MORE --
Hugh/Valjean is riding on a coach presumably bound for Calais with Cosette. That was the right way to contemplate the impact of what they were doing. He could not be belting out his thoughts from the coach - that would sound a little ludicrous. LOL!
Hugh is reinterpreting the way the role has been portrayed on stage ( all those with no holds-barred singing, who cares if the acting is secondary??) -- and with directorial choices being made by Hooper.
There is a lot of dialog and a lot of talk-sing on this trailer, especially from Hugh, partly to illustrate that the acting or portrayal of character or a situation is more realistic and that the intimacy of the big screen ( rather than a stage production) is dictating this kind of close-up performance ( there will be time for the big numbers!)...
....and maybe, partly not to scare people from a completely sung-through format.
I think the trailer is meant for general audiences, not for musical theatre geeks

Posted: 11/8/12 at 8:17pmI also liked the way Russell was acting/singing his One Day More part -- he looked like he was briefing his troops, which is what it should be. Very firm and decisive, with military precision! On stage, Javert comes out of the blue, like a cameo, and simply belts his lines.

I'm a little easy on Crowe's singing. I always found that part of the song lyrically clunky and in context the way he is delivering it probably fits. Agree on the military precision. He might as well have a large French flag behind him.
Eddie in his small singing part was a pleasant surprise.
The whole trailer is great. I cannot wait to see the whole "Master of the House" number.
