    Do You Hear the People Sing? International Les Miserables Trailer

    It's finally here!  After this trailer debuted in front of UK showings of Skyfall last month, bootlegged versions have been popping up all over the interwebs...and getting taken back down just as quickly.  Now it's officially here, and it looks pretty damn awesome.  As gut-wrenchingly amazing as it's been to see and hear Ann Hathaway singing "I Dreamed a Dream" in the first teaser and TV spots, this new trailer finally gives us a taste of some of the rest of the score, including young Cosette's "Castle on a Cloud", the show's Act 1 closer "One Day More", and damned if I didn't nearly start tearing up when "Do You Hear the People Sing?" started up towards the end:

    That was also our first look at Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter as the Thernardiers, and of little Daniel Huttlestone as the street urchin Gavroche (along with Samantha Barks, who plays Eponine, Huttlestone also played his role in the London stage production of Les Miserables).  Fans of the stage show will also notice the original stage Jean Valjean, Colm Wilkinson, appear as the Bishop of Digne early in the trailer too.  And how incredible does that barricade action look?

    Les Miserables can't get here soon enough, but we'll still have to wait until December 25 for it to open in theaters.
