One Day More: 5 Scenes We Can’t Wait To See In Les Misérables

Tom Hooper's long-awaited adaptation of world famous musical Les Misérables isn't far off, and it's safe to say that fans of the original production have been looking forward to seeing this thing in theatres for decades. Tom Hooper, of course, garnered a Best Picture Oscar for The King's Speech, granting audiences high hopes for this all singin' take on Victor Hugo's classic novel of revolution, class and redemption. Hooper has ensured audiences that this adaptation won't be a campy affair, and will instead play things appropriately straight and gritty, something that has been rightfully enforced through having the actors sing their parts live on set (instead of dubbed over in a studio). To celebrate the release of Les Misérables, we've put together a list of 5 scenes we can't wait to see. Enjoy!

1. The Barricade

Recommended Videos

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.
