Les Mis

Far From Miserable



The 1862 novel to the 1980 musical, Les Miserables, has finally be produced into a film, not to confuse this film for the 1998 version starring Uma Therman, Geoffrey Rush, and Claire Danes. Not This Cast! This movie is based off the musical production starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, and Russell Crowe. I'm sure a few are already scoffing that it is another musical and are definitely not into, especially film adaptations. Some sceptics might already be asking "what makes this any different from the others?" What makes this film different from the others is that the scenes were shot with the actors/actresses singing throughout the film instead of being dubbed by a pre-recorded soundtrack.

Facebook and Twitter are a buzz of the film as well. Being a musical phenomenom, the film has many people curious of the actor/actresses' singing skills. A tweet was stated that the actors has taken a full year of vocal coaching. A promotional video was even added to the thread to show behind the scene commentaries with the stars. https://twitter.com/LesMiserables
Facebook has a lot of posters and contests to for fans to delve into as well.

Be sure to check out this film coming Christmas 2012! It would be a great film to watch with the family over the holidays if you want to avoid the other possible blockbuster films like The Hobbit.
