New Les Miz Trailer

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!

Let'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!

Isn't this the first one with Russell singing?

already gone

I think it looks great! I am more excited now than I was before.

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

Looks like Kate Fleetwood has a Factory Worker Cameo.

Looks 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.

I 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!

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

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

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.
