Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Amanda Seyfried star in the new Les Miserables international trailer

A new trailer has been released for Tom Hooper’s upcoming musical adaptation LES MISERABLES, and though I’m ashamed to say I have not seen the play and am a little ignorant as to what it’s truly about, I’m still excited for it. Even though watching musical performances from Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman get my heart pumping, it’s a little unsettling to watch the trailer because it looks like Tom Hooper has used handheld cameras for the majority of the scenes, which may or may not work well with the film. I love how Hollywood is starting to embrace the musicals again and I can’t wait to check out the latest in LES MISERABLES.

Directed by Tom Hooper, LES MISERABLES is an adaptation of the musical where a paroled prisoner is seeking redemption. LES MISERABLES stars: Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne and Samantha Barks. It opens in theaters on December 25th, 2012. Check out the new trailer below, it will be updated in HD when made available.
