‘Les Miserables’ Featurette: Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean

Yahoo! Movies has released a new featurette for the upcoming Les Miserables adaptation, which features Hugh Jackman discussing his role as Jean Valjean.  Jackman was just nominated for a Golden Globe for his role and the film is set to come out this Christmas.

As we discussed on the podcast, everyone here at Film Pulse is very excited for this film, which is saying something considering most of us aren’t fans of musicals. Hit the jump for the video, full cast list, and synopsis.
