Hot Trailer: ‘Les Miserables’

• Man, Tom Hooper has such a bland style. “Joe Wright’s Les Miserables” would have been awesome to see this award season.

• Sorry, but I have enjoyed Hooper’s previous work, John Adams, and The King’s Speech. Those presentations don’t come across as,”bland,”but are definitely interesting and enjoyable.

• This makes me even more excited for the movie, which I didn’t think was possible.

• Seems like Samantha Barks did a fine job, but I wish more actresses who play Eponine would sing the song with more anger rather than pity. Celia Keenan Bolger does a great job of being both pissed off as hell and resigned to a loveless life.

• Why does everybody in a French movie have a British accent? Why can’t they make them have a French accent???

  • That’s how everyone speaks in France, Thomas, they put on that fake “Ooh la-la, enchanté moniseur” hand kissing crap only for American tourists and… Okay, it’s to do with diction. It’s very easy to do a really bad French accent but hard to maintain a credible one and be understood in as many territories as possible. Besides, the film is monstrously long as it is so there’s no point in making the experience any worse.

• Once again the best is saved for last….Samantha Barks is outstanding and as with the stage musical, her role will practically steal the movie from the bigger named stars. I cannot wait…
