I can't wait. Looks fantastic.
And yes, Bourne, that seems like a fair call. Anne may very well win one too. |

Calling it before I even watch the trailer...it's a fucking musical.
edit: I was fucking right ...and I ain't watching it. |

I don't think it wins Best Picture, I think it'll win music, costume and possibly Cinematography.

Big musical theatre fan, here. I'm always skeptical of stage to big screen adaptations, but damn this looks excellent.
December 25th is seeing the release of Django Unchained, The Great Gatsby, and this? Merry Christmas to me! |

This is actually set for Dec. 14 in the US. Not quite sure why the trailer says Christmas unless they changed it.

I liked the one with Liam and Rush. I will prob see this one. I like Crowe, Jackman, Anne and Amanda. I have culture dammit.
And Bourne FUCK YOU! Dark Knight Rises wins best movie. lol |

You're right SpikeDurden - looks like I was mistaken. Still though, December is sure to be a great month for movie fans.

I'm far more interested in this than The King's Speech.

The 30's version was great if any of you haven't seen it yet check it out. Charles Laughton ftw!

I knew absolutely jack shit about Les Miserables before seeing this trailer...and honestly, it's not at all what I expected - a lot darker looking for one thing (I guess I should have expected that from a movie with the title Les Miserables).
I think it looks surprisingly pretty good, at least on a visual level. |

Don't get me wrong. The movie looks incredible and I'm pretty sure it'll end up being great. But still, the only version of Les Miserables I have ever seen is the non musical movie with Liam Neeson, Geoffrey Rush and Claire Danes. Consequently, it's going to feel kind of weird seeing people sing in this story. It doesn't really strike me as the kind of story that leads to people singing suddenly.

Yes, I am aware it was a musical first. But I still can't picture people singing in this kind of story. Maybe it works. I don't know. Like I said, the non musical movie is the only version I have seen. So we'll see.

I guess it should have occured to me that "musical" might be an automatic turn off or lead to assumptions for some. Thing is having seen the live stage version 3 times now I can say no other muscial I've seen is anything like it. For one it's through-sung, meaning that there's no bursting into song. Not that the songs are happy anyway. No "I Feel Pretty"s here. What you have is the dialog and the asides both being sung. So there's no abrupt weirdness of switching to music. I honestly don't know how they plan to do this in the film but trust me it works in the play. And yes the story is bleak, dark, depressing, and heartbreaking. Unless you have absolutely no empathy and a heart of stone you are in emotinal agony about 1/3 in and it just doesn't stop. Sounds fun, huh? And yet I've subjected myself to it multiple times because the songs really do capture a depth of human experience more profound than anything else I've ever seen. I'm really hoping those not familiar with the story and those not normally keen on musicals give it a try. I can't wait to see what they think. Me, I'm coming prepared, with a whole box of tissues.

I'm by far the biggest musical theatre fan here and I absolutely can't wait for this. I hope the Mayans are right and we world doesn't end because I'll be so upset if I don't end up seeing this
(the release date was in fact switched to Christmas Day, bastards). I'm really hoping this does great and there are some GOOD stage to screen adaptations in the future (Kate Winslet in Next to Normal.. please??). |

Looks like another highly anticipated December release that's getting early mediocre reviews.

Anne Hathaway and Samuel L. Jackson have a sad-off --- it's Les Miserables vs Django Unchined - http://wp.me/p2CCWq-2tS
