Well, actually two new TV spots for director
Tom Hooper's highly anticipated musical adaptation
Les Miserables have been released on Election Day.
Loaded with new beautifully shot footage from the film, the first, unusually long 90-second spot features footage set to
Anne Hathaway‘s rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream,' while the second 30-second spot titled ‘Medley,' shows the fragile Hathaway getting her hair shaved, snippets of a battle, a peep of romance to the same soundtrack and a tease of Cosette's ‘Castle on a Cloud.'
Running at 2 hours and 32 minutes long, Les Miserables also stars
Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Samantha Barks, Helena Bonham Carter, and
Sacha Baron Cohen.
Jackman plays ex-prisoner Jean Valjean who is 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 (Seyfried), their lives change forever.
The movie opens on Christmas Day this year.
