Les Misérables or The Miserable is a novel by Victor Hugo, a French historical novel that was published in the 1800’s.
It has been made into numerous musical plays and radio, television, and stage adaptations have been made and now a movie based on the novel is set to be released this Christmas 2012 featuring a star studded cast.

The 2012 film directed by Tom Hooper stars Hugh Jackman, Russel Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter and Aaron Tveit.
I’ve seen the preview and I just can’t wait to see the movie, I’ve read the book twice only and have not seen any of the plays but I just know it’ll be awesome.
Check out the trailer.
