Two New LES MISÉRABLES Character Posters Released

By Dan Schindel | October 12, 2012

The official Facebook page for LES MISÉRABLES has unveiled two new character posters for the film, featuring Amanda Seyfried as Cosette and Anne Hathaway as Fantine. These come hot on the heels of yesterday’s posters, which had Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe as Javert. They continue the trend of featuring a line from the featured character’s most famous song in the original musical as a tagline. I don’t know why there’s no “A” preceding “Heart Full of Love,” but whatever. They look good!

Set against the backdrop of 19^th-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.

The motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation Les Misérables will now hit theaters on Christmas Day. Helmed by The King’s Speech’s Academy Award®-winning director, Tom Hooper, the film features an all-star cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. 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.
