The Les Misérables screenplay is credited to William Nicholson, whose previous efforts include Michael Apted’s Nell, Richard Attenborough’s Shadowlands, and Ridley Scott’s Best Picture Oscar winner Gladiator. Tom Hooper, Oscar winner for The King’s Speech, directed.

The big-screen version of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s Tony Award-winning stage musical, itself based on Victor Hugo’s novel, opens Dec. Best Actress Oscar nod? Another question: Apart from the pathological Javert, why aren’t the villains shown in the trailer? Or did I miss them? As for Anne Hathaway’s rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream,” it sounds equally impressive. I believe that even those who aren’t fans of modern Hollywood musicals (or Broadway musicals) will agree that the Les Misérables trailer looks impressive. (Please scroll down.) You can hear Anne Hathaway’s miserable Fantine singing “I dreamed that love would never die … I had a dream my life would be so different from this hell I’m living.” All the while, dialogue-less bits from the film are shown featuring Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Inspector Javert, Amanda Seyfried as Crosette, and Eddie Redmayne as Marius.
