Gavroche was a whirlwind. They saw him incessantly, they heard him constantly. He filled the air, being everywhere at once. He vexed the loungers, he excited the idle, he reanimated the weary, provoked the thoughtful, kept some in cheerfulness, others in breath, others in anger, all in motion! Piqued a student, was biting to a working man ; took position, stopped, started on, flitted above the tumolt and the effort, leaped from these to those, murmured, hummed, and stirred up the whole train; the fly on the revolutionary coach! –Les Misérables

Les Miserables deleted scenes masterpost
(you know, so we can see what we’re missing and all…)
1. Javert hunting Valjean- from the first trailer and the international one.
2 . dancetaire asked George Blagden this! He also tweeted once about how he wished they hadn’t cut that line.
3. Javert on yet another high ledge – from the first trailer
4. Father Mabeuf! An actor called Michael Sarne is credited as playing him. A brief clip of him waving the flag can be found on the ‘Battle at the Barricade’ DVD extra.
5. “I know who you are. You’re Jean Valjean.” From the international trailer
6. Fantine by a candle (???) – the first trailer
7. Valjean in the sewers- or possibly hiding from Javert’s men as seen in #1? These two scenes were right next to each other in the international trailer, so I wonder – also in the first trailer
8. Eponine saying Cosette’s name with utter bitterness – the international trailer
9. Ghost Eponine. I have no idea what the source is for that image, sorry. And it’s the only image I can find of her in that scene. But look! They did film it!
10. Javert dramatically opens a window – from the international trailer
11. Brother and sister – from this featurette about Sam Barks
12 & 13. Two little snippets of Cosette in her room and in the carriage at her wedding – from the international trailer
14. The beginning of The ABC Cafe, found on the ‘Creating The Perfect Paris’ DVD extra.
15. Anne Hathaway’s stunt that she begged to do and then it got deleted! (I know IMDB isn’t a reliable source, but it’s also referenced here.)
16. The alternate ending! If you’ve read the script you’ll remember it. Here’s a bigger picture of Cosette and Marius at the front of the barricade- they’re tiny but I’m sure it’s them. I am also SURE I once saw set photos of the Thenardiers in this scene, wearing old-age makeup, but I’ve looked for ages and can’t find them anywhere. If anyone knows what I’m talking about, tell me and I’ll add it to this!
There’s so much Les Mis fanart I want to see, but I can’t draw to save my life. So, er…if you want, take these ideas and run with them? Seriously, you don’t even have to tell me.
–This!
-Enjolras and Grantaire as old men who survived the barricade
–Any of the Amis as old men who survived the barricade
-More Enjolras drawn as a person of colour (You could still keep his hair light if you wanted)
-Fantine leading Gavroche and Eponine to the afterlife
-All five Thenardier kids HAPPY in a modern AU (I imagine like, a snapshot of them all messing around. Don’t you want those poor kids to be happy I want those poor kids to be happy)
Wait………Eponine and Gavroche are brother and sister………? I feel like I’ve been lied to my whole life -Anonymous
In the book, they are! But their terrible, terrible parents basically kicked Gavroche out into the street, so I don’t think they really know each other all that well. It’s appallingly sad.
The movie actually cut a line out where Gavroche refers to Eponine as his sister. I’m hoping they’ll stick it back in for the rumoured extended edition, because we could use more heartbreak…
The other night, instead of doing any of the 24601 things I was meant to be doing, I made this instead. Not to be used as a substitute for reading the book! Unless of course you want it to be.
Tumblr is a dick and probably won’t let you see the actually readable version, so click here to see it. Please feel free to point out any massive inaccuracies but be gentle
