1. The Barricade
Given the fact that the musical version of Les Misérables has always found itself confined to a stage, there has been no real way to portray the true scope of the battle sequences associated with one of its major plot points: the student revolution of 1832. Now, imbued with the possibilities of cinema, audiences will finally be able to see the barricade in all its glory.
From the trailers so far, we’ve been able to glimpse the kind of immense scope that Hooper has assembled for said sequences, what with hundreds of horses, rifles, weapons and costumed extras, and some beautifully cinematic on-location shooting. As for just how gritty and realistic he chooses to go with it all… well, we’ll just have to wait for December 20th when Les Misérables finally hits theatres to find out.
