I have to admit, I do love a good musica.l But I am being a bit of a hypocrite by saying I have not been to see the second-longest running stage production. I have seen snippets of the 1998 version but I believe a musical adaptation is what fans have been bursting for for years.
Set during the 19th Century over the course of 17 years we follow the lives of the French people's (er, acting world's finest) personal struggles of the depressive era of France which leads to the infamous French Revolution. The novel is beautfully told by Victor Hugo and with Tom Hooper serving as director, I have a strong gut feeling this will be his next greatest success following 2010's The King Speech.
It is unknown if the release date will change to January 2013 (right on queue for the award season), as principal photography only began three weeks ago, but whatever the world of cinemas decision is, this will be an excellent film to end 2012 on a high note.
