New LES MISERABLES Character Posters Of Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter; Russell Crowe Sings ‘Old Man River’
Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter look brilliantly psychotic in the latest character poster for LES MISERABLES (via The Huffington Post). In a stroke of casting genius, Cohen and Carter play the whacked-out conniving innkeepers hellbent on shaking down every poor soul that walks through their door. A new character poster featuring Cosette and Marius (Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne) cements their status as this holiday season’s power couple.
And if anyone still has reservations about Russell Crowe singing live throughout the movie, take a listen here…he will easily be able to hold his own as Javert with broadway veteran Jackman (Jean Valjean).
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.
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.
