I am getting so excited for Les Miserables to be released in theaters! Every trailer I see looks better and better. Not to mention this featurette which talks about how they sang live for every take, no pre recording! It looks incredible! I get chills every time I watch it.
It opens December 25, 2012 in the US. I'm hoping to get to see it while I am at home visiting family for the holidays. My sister and I used to play and sing the songs growing up and I became obsessed with the 1998 version and the abridged book when I was 12, so I'm looking forward to seeing it with her. I'm reading the complete unabridged book now (yes, all 1463 pages of it!) but I don't think I will finish it before I see the movie. It's really good though! I'm enjoying it.

I am SO excited for this! It looks amazing. My sisters and I are going and dressing up! I've never read the book though, is it as good as the musical?
ReplyDeleteOh, dressing up sounds fun! I really love the book! It is quite detailed but I feel like Victor Hugo is such a good writer that I don't mind it! :)
DeleteI wish I had remembered to start reading this book before going to the movie!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you,

Do it! There's still time! ;)
DeleteI'm really looking forward to seeing Russell Crowe as the bad guy! And hearing Hugh Jackman sing! :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! Hugh Jackman has an incredible voice! Have you seen him in the stage performance of Oklahoma? It's so good! I prefer it to the movie!
DeleteNo, I haven't seen that. Did you see the Les Mis clips that our out? You can find them on YouTube, it looks amazing!
DeleteI haven't seen any clips! I've seen some trailers and a featurette which looked amazing! I'm excited! :)
DeleteI finished the unabridged version this week. It's quite a tome! You'll have to tell us which one your prefer, the unabridged or abridged version when you're done reading! I think at parts I could have read the abridged version and been just as happy.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, why does the posters have the date January 11? I thought the movie was scheduled for Christmas! I hope we get it in our area movie theaters!!
So far I am preferring the unabridged because I love all the back stories and Victor Hugo is such a good writer he is keeping me hooked! And I always prefer reading unabridged just because I feel like I'm missing part of the story otherwise!
DeleteThe movie opens in the UK (and a few other countries) on January 11, that's why the poster has that date! I'm so glad we get it here earlier so I can go see it with my family over the holidays!
Wow.... really nice i love it! I am so excited for this! It looks amazing. I really love the book! It is quite detailed. Thanks!!
