The big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning musical "Les Miserables" has been filming in England this spring, and is slated for a Christmas release later this year. Today, we get a first peek at the production with a trailer featuring Anne Hathaway singing "I Dreamed A Dream," interspersed with scenes from the epic story, which is based on a landmark book by French author Victor Hugo. The film stars Australian actors Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, with featured performances by Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, and -- tantalizingly -- Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen as villainous tavern owners.
The trailer features quick-take shots of some of "Les Miz's" signature moments, including the pivotal barricade scene. Hathaway's singing sounds raw and powerful, which should be no surprise to people who caught her singing with Jackman on the Oscars three years ago. Look for more trailers later this summer and fall focused on the dramatic duel between Jackman and Crowe, who play the key characters in the musical.
