Anne Hathaway Set As Fantine For “Les Miserables”
Anne Hathaway was last associated with LES MISERABLES when she belted out her own version of “Own My Own” at February’s Oscar ceremony to past host Hugh Jackman. Now, BroadwayWorld.com’s reliable sources tell us that at Jackman’s pushing, she is now set to take on the role of Fantine in the eagerly anticipated film version of the epic musical.
In addition to hosting this year’s Oscars and being set to appear in the upcoming Batman: The Dark Night sequel, Anne Hathaway‘s film credits include ‘The Princess Diaries,’ ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ ‘The Devil Wears Prada,’ ‘Becoming Jane,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ and ‘Rachel Getting Married,’ for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. Hathaway played Viola in Shakespeare in the Park’s 2009 production of TWELFTH NIGHT. She also appeared as Lili in CARNIVAL! at Encores, and was in some of the workshops for last season’s PROMISES, PROMISES.
Last week, Hollywood site Deadline.com reported that filming for Woverine 2, the sequel to the successful X Men franchise starring Hugh Jackman, may be pushed back to the spring of 2012 due to location scouting issues. This means that Jackman will shoot the Les Miserables film, in which he’ll be playing Jean Valjean, first, beginning in February of 2012. The film will be shot in the UK.
According to www.itsonthegrid.com, additional actors being courted for the film have included Russell Crowe for Javert, Geoffrey Rush for Thenardier, Helena Bonaham Carter for Madame Thenardier, Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale, and Emma Watson for the roles of Eponine and Cosette, and Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall for Fantine.
Jackman has previously revealed that the new film interpretation will have songs in addition to dialogue to accommodate the medium.
Les Miserables originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on 8 October 1985, transferred to the Palace Theatre on 4 December 1985 and moved to its current home at the Queen’s Theatre on 3 April 2004. When LES MISÉRABLES celebrated its 21st London birthday on 8 October 2006, it became the World’s Longest Running Musical, surpassing the record previously held by “Cats” in London’s West End. In January 2010, the West End production broke another record by celebrating its historic 10,000th performance.
Cameron Mackintosh is currently developing the film of LES MISÉRABLES with Working Title and Universal. Tom Hooper (‘The King’s Speech’) is set to direct, and no casting has yet been officially announced by the movie’s production team.
Anne Hathaway Interview
Gays adore Anne Hathaway for more than her sweetheart sensibility and frumpy-to-fashionable underdog role in “The Devil Wears Prada.” She’s practically an honorary member of the community, contributing to the “It Gets Better” project, receiving an award from the Human Rights Campaign and quitting Catholicism for her gay brother.
And then consider the super gay trajectory of her film career: “Brokeback Mountain” and, as reported, an upcoming role as Judy Garland in the gay icon’s biopic and a stint on “Glee,” as Kurt’s lesbian aunt.
Hathaway is cast as Emma Morley in her latest movie, the lovely screen adaptation of David Nicholls’ bestselling novel “One Day,” which chronicles her relationship with Dexter Mayhew (Jim Sturgess of “Across the Universe”) on the same day every year for two decades.
The day after the premiere in New York City, the actress cheerfully breezes into a suite at the Waldorf Astoria, appearing so tiny you could put her in your pocket. And lesbians everywhere just might want to after seeing her sexily vacuum-sealed in a vinyl cat suit for “The Dark Knight Rises,” which she’s currently filming. When Hathaway sits down, she’s her usual bubbly self, discussing the most significant day in her life, her upcoming role as Catwoman (as much as she can, anyway) and the enduring power of love for all people.
Even though this is a story about a straight couple, how do you think it can resonate with a gay audience?
Love is universal. Anybody who has a heart can relate to what it is to have it broken again and again and again, and like I said, that’s universal – gay, straight, questioning, whatever you are.
Do you know a gay couple that has that type of enduring relationship like Emma and Dexter?
Oh my god, yes – I went to Vassar! I have like a pod now, and we’ve all been in each other’s lives for 10 years – and they don’t admit it, but I have gay friends that I think are secretly in love with each other.

“Rio” Coming to Blu-Ray
Fox Home Entertainment has announced that the colorful animated film RIO, from director Carlos Saldanha and featuring the voice talents of Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Leslie Mann, Wanda Sykes, Jane Lynch, Jemaine Clement, George Lopez and Jamie Foxx, will be released on Blu-ray in a BD/DVD/Digital Copy “Party Edition” on August 2, 2011. The film follows Blu, a domesticated macaw from a small-town in Minnesota who, when kidnapped, meets up with Jewel, an independent bird that takes him on an adventure of a lifetime.
RIO received very positive reviews and grossed over $136 million worldwide, which is pretty spectacular for an animated film not put out by Pixar. Supposedly a great kid and adult film, this will probably be a good one to add to your collection.
