And I have a crush on Eddie Redmayne (Marius) already!!!!^v^   I love his half-geeky half-HOT looks... and from what I hear from the clips his singing voice is pretty good, but I might need to hear more in the full movie later before I make my final comments.



A clip of "A Heart Full of Love", Marius and Cosette duet. I really love how Eddie portrayed Marius in this scene.

I had never like Cosette ... but Amanda Seyfried is quite cute as Cosette, I might finally like the character.

This is such a classic beautiful picture of Marius and Cosette! *_*


Eponine will always be my favorite character, ever since Lea Salonga played her! I love Samantha Barks as Eponine, she has a very beautiful and clear voice, on par with Lea's voice... But I think I still love Lea's voice a bit better.



My goodness, Anne Hathaway's I Dreamed A Dream sounds breathtaking *_*

One of my favorite pairing... Jean Valjean and little Cosette!



I didn't like the 1998 film starring Liam Neeson and Claire Danes. Liam Neeson nailed Jean Valjean's role, the actor who played Inspector Javert was awesome too, but that's it... I hate they cut down the story so much and even deleted Eponine's existence... So I have high expectation on the 2012 adaptation, esp. coz I love all the cast! I realized non-musical Les Miserables adaptations can look so dark and makes the story look so complicated and even boring.

But the musical adaptations has really turned the piece to something magical. I love Jean and Cosette's relationship, they're not related by blood, but they love each other just as father and daughter would. The story is all about redemption and every kind of love.

The following would be my DREAM CAST of a Japanese version, haha!

JEAN VALJEAN


Seriously.... he'd totally nail the part... he impressed me in Thermae Romae, I really think he'd suit another role of European man!^^

FANTINE


I'm DYING to see and listen her singing "I Dreamed a Dream"!!!!^o^   And she'd totally nail Fantine too!
I've seen her in stageplay playing tragic heroines before, and she's always amazing.
I mean she has played Ophelia in HAMLET, Aldonza in La Mancha, Jane Eyre... why has Fantine role never landed to her yet?

Inspector JAVERT


Little COSETTE


Aww.... I soo want to see her as little Cosette... it'll be interesting to hear a Japanese version of "Castle on a Cloud" by Mana-chan.
I want to see her playing mother and daughter with Matsu once again, and also would really love to see her pairing with Abe-san,
in the escaping scenes.

COSETTE


She will be a cute Cosette^^   haha but I don't think she can sing, oh well...

MARIUS


Omg! Let the Japanese-Marius role be his! Don't care that he don't sing, let someone dub his singing voice or something, lol!
Can't think of anyone else as Marius. Marius is like the romantic symbol in the story, rather than a young French revolutioner, he's more of a young man in love. He's like those romanticist men that appears in shoujo manga-s.... no one else suit the role as much as Mukai, imho XD

EPONINE


Don't have any particular reason, she was the only one that came to my mind, and I think she'd suit the role^^

Little EPONINE


I like this girl... her looks resemble the little Eponine in the anime, Shoujo Cosette (Japanese anime adaptation of 'Les Miserables').

Never mind.... haha.... since Yamamoto Koji has played Marius before in the Japanese version of the 2003-2004 musical play... suddenly a Japanese dream cast came to my mind.



He must suited the Marius role very much that time. But he's too old now, so my dream Marius goes to Mukai =P
