The brief trailer also features Amanda Seyfried as Cosette, Russell Crowe as Javert and Eddie Redmayne as Marius.
The all-star cast also includes Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter.
The musical, based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, follows paroled prisoner Jean Valjean (Jackman) who takes in Fantine’s (Hathaway) illegitimate daughter Cosette (Seyfried) and raises her. At the same time, his freedom is threatened by Inspector Javert (Crowe), who is determined to send Valjean back to prison.
While musicals made into movies can sometimes go terribly wrong, this first trailer for Hooper’s project promises that Les Miserables will be an emotional drama of epic proportions, and it’s easy to get swept up in these emotions with Hathaway’s evocative version of the classic song ringing in your ears.
Les Miserables is set to open in theaters on Dec. 14.
