...Is this legit?
The cast for the upcoming film of the Les Miserables musical. I just...what?
Anne Hathaway, really? I've nothing against her, but I feel like she's always getting (mis)cast to star as everyone in everything. And it's gonna take work to make Helena Bonham Carter over into someone as charmless and repulsive as the Thenardiess.
Eddie Redmayne is gorgeous, but I have no idea if he can sing. My Michael Ball candle burns very, very bright, yo.
I don't know. :/ If this weren't an adaptation of the musical, I'd be (slightly) less leery. I actually liked what there was of the cast in the 1998 movie: Valjean, Fantine, Enjolius Marius. They did some justice to their characters with what little movie-time there was, and they didn't have to sing a single note.
But this is the Les Miserables musical, the movie-of-the-musical. And that's personal for me!
(For great justice, at least get Ramin Karimloo and Katie Hall on board! PLEASE OH PLEASE.)
