It’s only a couple of months until the long-gestating movie version of the record-breaking musical Les Miserables finally makes it to the big screen. To whet out appetites, a couple of new posters have arrived, showing off two different sides of the film. For those who like romance there’s Marius (Eddie Redmayne) and Cosette (Amanda Seyfried), while those hoping for something a little nuttier get the duplicitous innkeepers, the Thenardiers (Helena Bonham Carter and Sasha Baron Cohen).
These posters, which you can see above and below, come after a series of others showing off individual characters, which you can see here, here and here.
Tom Hooper’s adaptation of the classic musical hits UK cinemas on January 11th, 2013 (the Christmas Day on the posters refers to the US release). Here’s the synopsis: ‘Les Misérables is the motion-picture adaptation of the beloved global stage sensation 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.

With international superstars and beloved songs—including “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Bring Him Home,” “One Day More” and “On My Own”—Les Misérables, the show of shows, is now reborn as the cinematic musical experience of a lifetime.’
