Runaway cart scene, "foreman" tweets:

MICHAEL JIBSON @mikejibson
My last day on #LesMisMovie as the Factory Foreman. A very muddy runaway cart scene. @RealHughJackman is a gent and is going to be amazing!

Tomorrow for one day in Greenwich the Barricade Boys are back, and then it's off to Winchester for Thursday and Friday.

It's amazing how fast things seem to e going? When is filming supposed to be complete?

 

[Angel_Faerie]

June-July

 

[narrows101]

Last I read it was filming "through June."

Video (through a window!) of the finale being filmed, you can hear them singing the last song towards the end (possible spoiler I guess):

Those people just wont shut up. LOL

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Why won't they shut up?!?

I'm still kind of confused as to what this scene actually is. Because it's obviously the very final moments of the film, but in my mind I always pictured Valjean in Heaven (after "to love another person is to see the face of Gooooood".... - my fave line in all of Les Mis) surrounded by those that died in the show as they sing. If that's Heaven, God owes us all a refund

 

[JP]

Hahahaha! I think it's clever having "heaven" be a victory at the barricade.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

It's also a nice way to have a curtain call of sorts for everyone. I'm just wondering how it's all going to work on film.

 

[Majik1387]

I'm afraid to check this thread anymore now; knowing the show is spoilery enough, I think I want this film to surprise me as much as it can.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

I'm sure there will be plenty of surprises.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I think how Hooper does the "heaven" scene at the end will be a surprise, kind of how the end of Joel Schumacher's Phantom was a surprise of sorts.

Angelic Fantine! [BLACKOUT]Why didn't they wig her?[/BLACKOUT] Old Valjean! AAAAH! t:

 

[narrows101]

Ok, fair warning, if you don't want to be spoiled, do NOT look at this. It's a video of the ending, including Hugh and Anne.

EDIT: Angel and I posted at the same time LOL.

WHAT IS HAPPENING. I'm weeping.


I don't think any of us are ready for this film.

I knew about this scene since I read about it on Twitter but seeing a photo of it is something else.

And danoyse, you know you wanna... I can tell you when I saw Hugh my breath did catch. I have to watch now because I'll be dead by December from all this stuff....

I know, I'm still trying to resist. Let's see how long that lasts.

The finale will always remind me of when I saw the show for the first time. Not for anything that happened on stage, but from trying not to laugh when my sobbing aunt muttered "Oh sweet Jesus, here comes the other one!" when Eponine walked out.

 

[Boom]

Hugh looks great as Old Valjean.

If it's from the finale, I imagined him older. But then again, it has been ages since I've read Les Miserables. I could be mistaken on that.

EDIT: Should probably read the article before asking questions.
