This is making me feel more like going to see the film. Not over-impressed by all the casting so far, especially Samantha Barks as Eponine. :(

Am I the only one who thinks Kelsey Grammer would make a way better Javert for the movie?

They just announced a ton of people, mostly from the West End, who I assume are going to make up the ensemble. The article is on playbill.com.

I do wish they hadn't moved the opening date to December 14th, though. It's going to get completely overshadowed by the opening of the first part of The Hobbit.
