Two brand new TV spots for Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables have landed online, giving a better glimpse at what remains as one of the only potential Oscar films that has yet to be seen by critics.
The two spots, one running at 30 seconds, the other 90 seconds, prove if nothing else Les Misérables will be absolutely gorgeous. Take a look at the spots below:
As of now there haven’t been any screenings, public or private, for critics of the film, which is one of the last potential Oscar films to remain a hold out. Despite this, Les Miserables still tops many pundits’ Best Picture lists, in large part because of the talent involved, but also due to the gorgeous marketing we’ve seen.
Les Misérables, an adaptation of the classic Victor Hugo novel and famed musical, is directed by the 2011 Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper (The King’s Speech). The adaptation stars Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Javert, Anne Hathaway as Fantine, Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thénardier, Sacha Baron Cohen as Thénardier, and Amanda Seyfried as Cosette.
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 and Eddie Redmayne, with further casting to be announced.
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.
