The Deacon's Bench
Fans of the blockbuster musical — you know who you are — will appreciate these shots from the Daily Mail, with the first glimpses of Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe as his nemesis Javert.
Others in the cast include Anne Hathaway as Fantine, and Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as the Thenardiers. Best casting news: Colm Wilkinson makes a cameo as the Bishop of Digne who inspires Valjean’s conversion.
The movie musical opens in December. I really hope they don’t screw this up.
