[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5929371, member: 177"] I cannot read it in the original French, but in general, it suffers greatly from being produced (as many such stories of the day) as a serial, paid by the word. There are many, many, many words. Agreed. I don't think they're pretending that this is going to be true to the book, though. The full musical typically runs 2 hours, 50 minutes, and that's including the intermission. By comparison, LotR: Fellowship has a runtime of 178 minutes - just about 3 hours. So, a long movie can be done and still be successful. Yeah, I was wondering about that. Valjean is supposed to be a man of nigh unparalleled physical strength, even as a middle-aged man. Jackman can play tough, but the bulk isn't there. Which makes her a fine highlight for early teasers - her portions are apt to be complete early, and they can pick and choose good cuts. That's important, as IMDB lists the movie as still filming. If they're releasing in December, post-production is gong to be short. Plus, let us face it, that song is iconic and good for trailers. Is she? The actress is only like 30. I read the book a long, long time ago - I don't recall her the character's age being given expressly. And we have 20 and 30 year olds playing high-school students in highly successful TV shows... As to whether Russell Crowe can sing... well, it looks like he's had [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Crowe#Music]a bit of a musical career[/url], too....
