The theatre community already can't wait for the Tom Hooper-helmed big screen version of LES MIS. Newest to the cast is Samantha Barks who will play Eponine in the film. She joins the previously announced Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, Sacha Baron Cohen as Thenardier, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, Aaron Tveit as Enjolras, Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Anne Hathaway as Fantine and Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thenardier.
When Broadway shows are turned into films, a new song(s) is usually added to make it eligible for a 'Best Song' Oscar. This brings us to last week's poll- 'Which LES MIS Character Do You Think Deserves Another Song in the Film?', and the winner, with 24% of the vote, was Enjolras, closely followed by Cosette and Eponine with 17% each.
Don't forget to participate in our newest BWW Poll, 'Which Leading Man Should Take on 'Melchior' in the Upcoming SPRING AWAKENING Movie?' HERE by February 17, 2012 at 11:59pm when the poll closes!
