Ok, so I've never really been following this film all that much, don't know much about the musical, but I've watched 4 clips on incontention.com and there's nothing that makes me want to see it. It looks visually impressive, the acting looks fine, the singing seems good but I ain't feeling it. Someone convince me why I should see this film.
 
I didn't manage to avoid all first looks; I saw the "Heart Full of Love" and "At the End of the Day" and both were visually horrid and art school looking.
I love Seyfried, but she needs studio help with her vocals. :csad:
 
What I'm hearing about Crowe and Seyfried (lol, I almost typed "Amanda Bynes" for some reason) makes me happy. Basically, their vocals are good enough to support the rest of the cast and make this a good movie that I will enjoy seeing, but are also bad enough for some nitpicky critics to consider this a major flaw in the movie and increasing the chances that the amazing Life Of Pi gets to win Best Picture. It's a win-win for me. :oldrazz:

I hope they haven't taken the "realism" to the level where the musical aspect actually gets irrelevant :csad:

I absolutely love Seyfried. I'm not a music expert, but her voice has some kind of an angelic quality that I haven't heard in any stage actor. For me, she might be just the only person on the planet who can get as much out of Cosette as possible.
 
I have no problems with Crowe. Seyfried is by far the worst singer in the film. Ah well, you can't win them all. Doubt it will ruin my appreciation for the film.

She is, but it's also growing out nicely and looking a much prettier length to what it was before.

Photo Coverage: LES MISERABLES Film Cast Throw Dinner Party in NYC
Monday, December 3, 2012; 10:12 AM - by Oliver Oliveros

New York, December 3, 2012 — The star-studded cast of Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh’s upcoming motion picture adaptation of the smash mega-musical “Les Misérables,” led by Hugh Jackman (Jean Valjean), Anne Hathaway (Fantine), Amanda Seyfried (Cosette), Samantha Barks (Eponine), and Eddie Redmayne (Marius), threw a dinner party for the members of the international press at Porter House in Columbus Circle last night.

The stars, together with lead producer Cameron Mackintosh (“Miss Saigon,” “Mary Poppins”) and film director Tom Hooper (“The King’s Speech”), were in town for a series of press junkets.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, “Les Misérables” tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice, and redemption — a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after Valjean breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

“Les Misérables” opens across North America on Christmas day.

Hugh loves to do lapdances. I remember he did one for Barbara Walters on ABC

One of the times I saw The Boy From Oz, Hugh gave someone in the audience lapdance lessons.
 
He usually did lap dances for someone in the audience during The Boy from Oz. On the last show, he dragged Barbara Walters and Matt Damon on stage (who were both in the audience) and they both gave her one LOL.
 
Hugh Jackman Gave Amanda Seyfried a Lap Dance
By Katie Van Syckle

“Tonight is a special night, and I am going to sing one song,” Hugh Jackman said last night at Porter House, following an early screening of Les Miserables attended by Academy members and the Hollywood Foreign Press. “And this is a song I am not going to sing alone, because it is the birthday of Amanda Seyfried.” “Oh my God!” someone cried from the crowd, in a decibel usually reserved for Justin Bieber (Les Miz is the nerd equivalent). “Amanda, get up here," Jackman commanded the actress, who plays his adopted daughter Cosette in Tom Hooper’s film adaptation. "Now sit down.”

“I once gave Barbara Walters a lap dance and I promised her I would never do it again, but seeing as she is not here tonight … ” the actor said portentously before opening his legs and shimmying across Seyfried’s lap. “Happy Birthday, Amanda — my daughter Cosette — Seyfried,” Jackman crooned into a microphone backed up by a piano player and assembled cast members. “Yes, it’s one of those father daughter relationships … ” the actor said with a sly laugh, running his hand down the tight lavender dress of the embarrassed actress. “Happy birthday to youuuuuuu ... ” he drawled (think: Marilyn Monroe meets Australian Chippendale).

Then the actress was presented with chocolate birthday cake, reminding long-time Les Miz enthusiasts that Seyfried, who turns 27 today, was barely walking when Producer Cameron Macintosh began talking to director Alan Parker about making this movie 25 years ago. (Now, Macintosh just “thanks God” this cast was born). “I was just thinking that my 27th year is probably going to be best,” Seyfried said after her awkward father-daughter birthday serenade, “Because it was brought in in such a way that my hero, Mr. Hugh, got to stretch his cords one more time for me.” It would be an especially good year, we’d imagine, if Academy voters are equally swayed.

Jackman, Redmayne, Hathaway, and Barks got nominations for the Satellite Awards.
 
And I will not be surprised if those four are the ones who continue to be nominated.
 
Rebecca Caine (original London Cosette) approves :D

Damon and Jackman giving me a lap dance is a dream I once had...
 
I've seen the clips and I'm very impressed by the singing. Crowe's singing doesn't bother me though he came off as unintentionally humorous though.

It's an amazing epic about love, loss, suffering and redemption set in the 19th century in post-Revolutionary France with an amazing cast. :dry:

If you don't like musicals, there is nothing I can say that will convince you. You either go with it or you do not.

I'm cool with musicals, just something about this one ain't hitting the spot. Maybe I'm just a heartless bastard.
