And We Have Us a Cosette

Director Tom Hooper has found the perfect leading lady for his upcoming adaptation of Les Misérables.

Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried will play Cosette opposite Hugh Jackman’s Jean Valjean and Russell Crowe’s heartless inspector Javert.

And on a related, sure-to-be-controversial move, the powers that be have cast Taylor Swift as Eponine.

The lovely pair will share the screen with Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Eddie Redmayne (My Week with Marilyn), and Aaron Tveit.
