LES MISERABLES Coming to UK IMAX Theaters 1/11

Deadline reports that Universal will release LES MISERABLES in digital IMAX theaters throughout the UK beginning January 11. Advance tickets for Tom Hooper's highly anticipated film will go on sale in Britain this Saturday, December 1. Les Mis is set to open in North America on Christmas Day, December 25th.

A beloved global stage sensation, Les Miserables has been seen by more than 60 million people in 42 countries and in 21 languages around the globe and still breaking box-office records everywhere in its 27th year. Helmed by The King’s Speech’s Academy Award-winning director, Tom Hooper, the Working Title/Cameron Mackintosh production stars Hugh Jackman, Oscar® winner Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Samantha Barks, with Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love, passion, sacrifice and redemption—a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean, hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Crowe) after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever.
