Amanda Seyfried To Play Cosette In Tom Hooper’s ‘Les Misérables’
Jan 4th
Amanda Seyfried is in final negotiations to play Cosette in Tom Hooper’s (The King’s Speech) live-action adaptation of Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel and the stage musical ‘Les Misérables.’ The cast for the film is stellar, it already features Russell Crowe as Javert, Anne Hathaway as Fantine, Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Eddie Redmayne as Marius, Sacha Baron Cohen as Monsieur Thenardier, and Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thénardier. Taylor Swift is apparently in the running for the role of Eponine.
‘Les Misérables’ is scheduled for release December 7th, joining a month stacked with anticipated films in Ang Lee’s ‘Life Of Pi,’ Quentin Tarantino‘s ‘Django Unchained,’ ‘World War Z,’ ‘The Great Gatsby’ and Peter Jackson’s ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.’ William Nicholson (Gladiator) has written the screenplay for ‘Les Misérables.’ Sir Cameron Mackintosh will produce alongside Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Debra Hayward for Working Title. The synopsis for the musical is below. Source: Deadline.
Jean Valjean, an ex-con, has transformed himself to become mayor and the owner of a factory. But when he is moved to help one of his former workers, Fantine, Valjean’s past is brought to light, and he is forced to abandon everything to run from Javert, the chief of police, dead set on bringing him to justice. Nine years later, Cosette, Fantine’s child, has been raised by Valjean and has fallen in love with Marius, a fighter in the French revolution (after whom another, named Eponine, also pines). With Javert on the hunt and a revolution tearing the city apart, in the end, everyone is forced to question what they’re willing to sacrifice in pursuit of love and justice.
Five Digital Postcards For ‘In Time’ – Starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried & Cillian Muphy
Sep 26th
20th Century Fox have released these new digital postcards for Andrew Niccol’s (Gattaca, Lord Of War) upcoming sci-fi thriller ‘In Time.’ The film stars the likes of Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Cillian Muphy, Vincent Kartheiser, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny Galecki, Olivia Wilde and Matthew Bomer. ‘In Time’ hits cinemas October 28th in the US, and November 1st in the UK.
The film takes place in a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there’s a catch: you’re genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich “earn” decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When Will Silas (Justin Timberlake), a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage (Amanda Seyfried).

Amanda Seyfried Talks ‘Sucker Punch’ & ‘Superman: Man Of Steel’ – Reveals She Auditioned For A Part But Didn’t Get It
Mar 21st
Speaking to AdelaideNow (via Bleedingcool) for Catherine Hardwicke’s fairy tale re-imagining ‘Red Riding Hood’ Amanda Sefried spoke candidly about her original casting in the lead role of Baby Doll in Zack Snyder’s barmy looking fantasy adventure flick ‘Sucker Punch.’ “I really wanted Emily Browning’s role in Sucker Punch. I’d originally got that role and everything was in gear, but then I got the call from Big Love saying `we need you this season, you can’t do it’.
“The director, Zack Snyder, fought for me, and I even called the head of HBO because I thought I wasn’t being used in Big Love in a way that was worth me losing out on Sucker Punch. At the time it didn’t seem like there was anything better. Big Love wouldn’t let me go so I cried a lot. Then I realised that actually it was good that I didn’t do it because, if I had, I wouldn’t have done Red Riding Hood.”
She also – again incredibly candidly – spoke about auditioning for a role in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman movie – “I auditioned for a role in the new Superman and didn’t get it.” This may be the role Alice Eve, Diane Kruger and Rosamund Pike were rumoured to be favourite’s for, who knows. I’m sure we’ll be hearing casting news from that film soonish as it’s filming in the summer. You can check out my interview with Amanda Seyfried for ‘Red Riding Hood’ here.
Amanda Seyfried Interview For Catherine Hardwicke’s ‘Red Riding Hood’
Mar 10th
In Catherine Hardwicke’s fairy tale re-imagining ‘Red Riding Hood,’ Amanda Seyfried stars as Valerie, the girl in the iconic red cloak who’s stalked by a werewolf. Thrown in to confuse the matter she’s a beautiful young woman torn between two men, the brooding outsider, Peter (Shiloh Fernandez), and the man whom her parents have arranged for her to marry – the wealthy Henry (Max Irons). ‘Red Riding Hood’ comes to cinemas March 11th in the US, and April 15th in the UK. Check out what Amanda Seyfried had to say about the film below.
What was you initial reaction to Catherine’s vision?
Amanda Seyfried: I resisted a little bit at the beginning because I thought, first of all the responsibility of playing such an iconic character was a bit stressful, and thinking how is this going to work? What is the script like? What are they gonna do with all the elements they could use? Then I read the script and I was like ‘’oh my god, I have no idea who the wolf is, this is genius.’’ then I met up with Catherine and she had all these visuals, these drawings, photos, cut-outs and videos, it just seemed so obvious to me.
