OONNEE DAAAY MMOOOOOOOORRREEEE x 36 #LesMisMovie

Apparently One Day More is being filmed today. I have a feeling it's going to be edited a LOT like Tonight (Ensemble) from West Side Story:

God, such horrible singing in that scene. . .

 

[Angel_Faerie]

To be fair almost none of the actor's real voices were used in the movie.

The beginning, where's the harmony? They all sound like they're sick. D:

Fra Fee @frafee
Just to verify...when I referred to 'sick' I meant the 'insanely cool' definition...sorry for the confusion!

Fra Fee @frafee
@SamuelJWeir ha! Sorry dude! Should've just stuck to the standard 'today was cool' wording..!x

Alistair Brammer @alistairbrammer
That was a fun day today. And shall be an interesting one tomorrow. Before another fun one Friday.

To be fair almost none of the actor's real voices were used in the movie.

My favorite example of that is in Oliver!, when Oliver's vocals were dubbed over by the music supervisor's daughter.

It's one of my favorite movie musicals, but that drives me insane! He sounds like a little girl.

[Clu]

so much talk about building a barricade I'm starting to wonder if they are building it in real time.

 

[narrows101]

It does sound like they were!

They went out celebrating afterwards:

Fra Fee @frafee
@russellcrowe Russell, all the students are at the coal hole on the strand. Beside the savoy theatre! Head here for your pint!

Killian Donnelly @killiandonnelly
@russellcrowe coal hole with all the students. Your gunman today offers a Guinness?

Russell Crowe @russellcrowe
@frafee ahh Fra, myself and Richard Harris would occasionally have a pint there...I'm a long way away and only having imaginary ones

Russell Crowe @russellcrowe
@killiandonnelly that pub and I have a history,Richard Harris and I would flip a coin between there or the Toucan...great memories, have fun

Killian Donnelly @killiandonnelly
@russellcrowe R Harris an absolute legend. We're all having a pint soon Monsieur- Irish style

Russell Crowe @russellcrowe
@killiandonnelly Your a good man yourself Killian. Nice idea with the pistol today.

Samantha barks @SamanthaBarks

Samantha barks @SamanthaBarks
@russellcrowe ahhh shame!! But... While Javerts away the students will play #lesmis

It's one of my favorite movie musicals, but that drives me insane! He sounds like a little girl.

[YT]siWscozkRr0&feature=fvwrel[/YT]

Reminds me of an old joke/legend:

Igor Stravinsky was once asked by the pope of his time, who was a fan, what the catholic church could do to help music.

Without hesitation, Stravinsky answered, 'Give us back castrati!'

 

[narrows101]

Sounds like we're going to see a lot of action!

Spoiler

Alistair Brammer@alistairbrammer
One of the best days I have evr had on set yesterday. Got to literally destroy and ransack the entire place. It was like 'Finders Keepers'!!

Alistair Brammer@alistairbrammer
@asboaaron It was to build the barricade. Tore apart a Blacksmiths, an optician, a cobblers, a Cafe, homes etc. Was the BEST fun!!

 

[danoyse]

He's at it again:

Russell Crowe‏@russellcrowe
Gavroche... I should have despatched you in mercys' name years ago. Now I suffer indignity because I let you live? You will pay... #lesmis

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Sounds like someone was called out by one of the "Little People"?

 

[danoyse]

Those little people...they may look easy pickings but they got some bite.

 

[narrows101]

I love these "barricade boys" and all their tweets! Will make for a very sad moment in the movie when they, well, you know.....

Jonny Purchase @jonnypurchase
This is what us #barricadeboys have been doing all morning while waiting to go on set​

Jonny Purchase@jonnypurchase
@SarahB1863 From left to right, Iwan Lewis, Matt Corner, Samuel Weir, Chris Milford, Stevee Davies, Stuart Neal.​

IMDB has also updated the cast list and Iwan Lewis is playing Bahorel.

 

[danoyse]

They are too cute! t:

 

[JP]

 

[narrows101]

Nice... I wish it was a little lighter though. I lightened it up a bit and it looks like Valjean has some big sideburns there.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Aww, Young Cosette is adorable! She looks so happy to be free from the Thénardiers.

 

[JP]

Must be "Suddenly"

 

[Angel_Faerie]

That'd make sense. I'm still not sure how I feel about adding a new song. I know it's probably for Oscar bait, and to show Valjean and Cosette bonding, but it just concerns me that a great song will be lost to make up for "Suddenly" being put in.

 

[JP]

Eh, there's a couple songs that SHOULD be cut, but probably wont. Ah well.
