That's some cast. Russell Crowe strikes me as more of a Jean Valjean-type than Hugh Jackman though. But it looks good!
Man, it's been two decades since I saw the musical for the first time. Ah, nostalgia.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Yeah, I'm interested to hear how Amanda what'sherface and Eddie what'shisface sing.

Me too.
However, I didn't realize until tonight that the film's producer is Cameron Mackintosh, who produced the original English production of Les Mis, and is one of the single biggest producers of musicals on the British stage, so I imagine he demanded a high bar from the production.

Oh, I forgot she was in Mamma Mia. Cosette's an awfully high part, though.

Oh, and for the non-ita among y'all (:p), the HD trailer for The Bourne Legacy: [link]
I didn't know Rachel Weisz was in this movie! Colour me even more psyched!

Because books.
I agree, it looks fantastic, Vonnie. Edward Norton also looks great.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The new Bourne movie has been getting some good buzz.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
So, I don't think this has been posted here, but WOW! This looks like it might just be as epic as it deserves:
"I Dreamed a Dream" is near the bottom of the list of the songs in the show for me (pretty much any of Cosette's numbers are lower), but that trailer still gave me shivers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Russell Crowe has had some rock band for years, with a really weird name I can't remember.
30 Odd Foot of Grunts.
Why do I still know that.
Speaking of Amanda Seyfreid, I just saw In Time. Ergh, such a neat premise, but the movie was kind of lacking. And I was sleepy.
