Les Miserables deleted scenes:
Valjean (and Javert) at the hospital
Two tiny cut snippets of Valjean seeing Fantine at the hospital, from here and from here. The screencap of Javert apparently comes from a special ITV did before the movie came out, but it doesn’t seem to be available online anywhere…(Tell me where to find it and I’ll replace that cap with a gif.)
eight scenes: javert at the barricade (5/8)
“Shoot me now or shoot me later / Every schoolboy to his sport”
#javert held up his head with the intrepid serenity of the man who has never lied #surrounded by one man whose heart is too full to lie#who has too much dignity to do so #and another man whose heart burns for justice #who deals it out only moments later in the book and willingly damns himself in the process #and yet one more man whose lies are wrapped inside others and harm only himself #his heart is too full as well with a weight he accepts even when he doesn’t understand it #lightened only in the presence of its cause #all four men can see their ends right here in this moment#and accepts it in his own way #javert smugly and with a challenge he’ll soon be shocked to see unmet #combeferre with a resignation that he will have earned his death here but his dreams will live on and come true all the sooner #enjolras with impatience and his blood at a simmer he’s desired for so long #and grantaire who would sooner follow the others to their ends than exist in a world without them #three will offer the protest of corpses #the other will protest only his survival #from the heavy embrace of all desolations springs faith #faith that soothes and affirms #faith that burns and drives #faith that comforts and overwhelms all those protective lies #faith that cannot conquer a heart that will not let it survive

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!
