Universal has released the first Les Miserables teaser trailer featuring Anne Hathaway flexing her pipes with one of the show’s most famous songs.
The Tom Hooper-directed movie, is a drama based on the famed musical and Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel of the same name. Aside from Hathaway, the film boasts a star-studded cast, which includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen, Helena Bonham Carter, Samantha Barks, and Aaron Tveit.
