Tom Hooper to take on Les Miserables

[Angel_Faerie]

Checking Russell's Twitter, he's been spending the entire day today with his sons. So it wasn't him. So the only real suspects are Anne (who doesn't seem the type to have a temper tantrum), Frances (who isn't really famous enough for such behavior - no offence meant at all) or Hugh (who has no known instances of diva-like behavior and doesn't seem the type either)

The first one everyone is going to think of is Russell because of his rep, but he's been tweeting pretty much all day and he went to some safari park with his sons, so it sounds like he wasn't on set. Forget Hugh, that's not in his makeup, so who's left as an "overpaid superstar"? Unless the tweeter is making it up or someone is in the scene we don't know about (Cohen?)!

Or the tweeter is just pissed and ranting to get attention.

Maybe he was a forward young man and Anne had him removed.

damn twitter...giving everyone a voice when they shouldnt have a voice.

sounds like a angry parent is just angry because movies dont happen on their schedule.

Exactly my thoughts. I wouldn't put too much weight on it.

Yeah, I could see that as the actual truth behind this whole mess. I doubt anyone from the movie will bother to dispel this angry father's tweet, either.

I have a friend who used to work on the kids auditions for Les Mis back when it was on Broadway...there are an amazing level of nutjobs who will do anything to get their kids in this show.

Check out this set in Greenwich - presumably Paris/barricade scenes. "Students" have been tweeting that they are on the set next week.

Exclusive photos from the set.

Elephants in Greenwich - Sets are built for Les Miserables The Movie

The "lovely ladies" are still on the set today and it's been reported that Hugh and Russell have an night shoot in Winchester today.

The barricades arise!!

It's parents who live vicariously through their children. Just like beauty pageant parents. It's pretty much child abuse.

I had to return to the Hype! after a period of absence because this, a superhero forum, is the only place on the internet with up to date Les Miz info, with posters who actual make sense when discussing things.

WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT?

Welcome back, JP! I hope you'll be joining our discussion for Les Mis.

 

[JP]

Most definitely!

And, shockingly...true.

John Barr (Convict #5 - "How long, dear Lord, before you let me die?") just posted this pic.

Man, they sure did a good job of making them look worn down and like they've been beaten for years.

 

[JP]

He looks amazing!

 

[Clu]

with how he looks, no wonder why he asking god how long he will live.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

No kidding

If Jean Valjean doesn't qualify as a superhero, I don't know who does! t:

 

[JP]

Seriously!


But, it's all thanks to Narrows and his/her amazing ability to scour the internet. And I know you post the same things on BWW and IMDB.. but those places are just...

The only time BWW was of any use to me was when someone posted that Hugh Jackman's solo show still had SRO available that week and I wound up getting to see the show a second time.

Otherwise, it's like watching who can out-snark each other at both of those places. Can't stand them.

 

[JP]

Agreed. The snark is too much. So is the privileged attitudes.

I hate that too. That's why it's great to go to shows with people who don't go that often. Makes you remember that this supposed to be fun.

IMDB has gotten so much better since the days of "Alfie Boe better be JVJ" LOL! There are actually some good discussions on there, and a lot of info from tweets from cast members, set sightings, etc. I'm guessing there will be a lot of sightings next week when filming is in Greenwich with the students.
