We’ve all been dying to know who will portray Cosette and Eponine in Tom Hooper’s upcoming musical adaptation of Les Miserables and it finally appears we have our answer.
Twitch Film reports that Amanda Seyfried has been offered the role of Cosette in the film. Seyfried has previously showcased her singing talents in Mamma Mia! alongside Meryl Streep.
Also reported by Twitch Film is that Taylor Swift has been offered the role of Eponine, beating out hopefuls such as Lea Michele, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood.
It has not yet been confirmed whether Seyfried and Swift have accepted the roles, but if they do they will be appearing in the film along with Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Sacha Baron Cohen.
UPDATE: Broadway World has confirmed that Taylor Swift has indeed been offered the role. Thanks to TaylorSwift13.org.
What do you think of the casting? Is there someone else you would prefer to see play Eponine and/or Cosette?
