(Via: Collider)

Lots of goodies today for Les Mis junkies! We got a look at the first teaser poster for the film that hits theaters in December. This poster was spotted over the weekend at CinemaCom in Vegas (CinemaCon is a convention put on for all the major theater owners in order to get a look at what the studios have to offer for the rest of the year; it’s basically Comic-Con for theater owners).

I’m glad they’re using the familiar Cosette logo in some capacity. And I liked the red on cream background!

Also circulating on the web is “leaked” footage of the finale number “Do You Hear The People Sing” featuring Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. Also a fantastic peek at the barricade set…awesome!

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 he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.

Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King’s Speech’s Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

In December 2012, the world’s longest-running musical brings its power to the big screen in Tom Hooper’s sweeping and spectacular interpretation of Victor Hugo’s epic tale. With international superstars and beloved songs—including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and “On My Own”—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime.

Based on the Stage Musical from Boublil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables from the novel by Victor Hugo, a screenplay by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg and Herbert Kretzmer with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg & lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer, Tom Hooper’s musical epic will be in theaters December 14, 2012.
