People!

Why did no one tell me this was a thing?? New Les Miserables movie (this time with singing!) = CLEARLY IN MY INTERESTS. Plus, my Broadway crush, Aaron Tveit, is playing Enjolras, and - as of now - there are ZERO Jonas Brothers in the cast. What could be better?




See Aaron spin!

And then this happened.



WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????????

Although, when you think about it, I guess Taylor Swift IS the perfect person to play a character described as a “pale, puny, meager creature" with a voice like "a drunken galley slave’s."

I'm also so hot for this movie. I recently saw it on stage again and I so want to have.

But to cast Swift in the one real goo female role in the thing, that's definitely a bad move...

Are there any other casting spoilers yet? Is the internet finally going to fill with Valjean/Javert slash (of which there is appallingly little, not that I googled....)

edit: Just googled the cast. Hm...Jackman is cool for the role but can he sing? Not so fond of Russel Crowe...somehow I always find him somewhat annoying and I am not sure he can pull of the special kind of crazy Javert has. They should have gotten Malkovic again, that would have been perfect.

Yeah, Jackman can definitely sing. He was in a few musicals in Australia and the UK and he's won awards. He was also in that horrible, horrible musical TV series Viva Laughlin, which was canceled after two episodes, but it wasn't horrible because of him, lol.
