Apple trailers released another look at the upcoming film adaptation of Les Misérables featuring Samatha Barks’ rendition of the world famous song “On My Own.”
The preview gives us a first look at how stunning Barks’ singing and acting capabilities are. She has been mentioned in a lot of reviews as the film’s biggest surprise, even more so than Anne Hathaway’s Oscar worthy performance, and it shows. This 2 minute preview has gotten me weeping already, as her performance is truly breathtaking.
Watch below:
Les Misérables will be released Christmas Day in the US and January 11th in the UK. The film’s soundtrack, featuring 20 songs including “On My Own,” is already available for a limited-time price of $5 on Amazon.
A Hypable reader reviewed the soundtrack for us – read their well-educated thoughts here. It is unknown at this time if Universal plans to release additional songs from the musical, but if/when they do we’ll be sure to let you know.
Do you think Barks may be one of the stand-out actresses in the film?
