Les Miserables deleted scenes:
Javert pursues Valjean/Fantine’s body is disposed of
The gifs are from the international trailer; the promo pictures are from The Transformation Of Hugh Jackman DVD extra.
Anne Hathaway’s stunt is referenced here too. All that persuading and it didn’t even make the cut!
Edit: And I think, although am not certain, that this (from here) is from the same scene:
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.)
Les Miserables deleted scenes:
Valjean at the Digne prison
From the international trailer. Appears to be this scripted scene, but with the dialogue altered:

Is your life just one more lie?
Aw man, Enjolras’s face when Grantaire hugs him. He looks like he’s genuinely upset on R’s behalf and wants to comfort him but hesitates because this is Grantaire we’re talking about and for all he knows he could get stung with a biting remark if he makes himself vulnerable, but he throws caution to the wind and does what he wants to do; hug back with gusto as though this is something he’s wanted to do for a long time. He’s even stroking the back of his head; this isn’t a garden variety bro hug, this is a passionate and desperate thing between two people who probably didn’t even realise how much the other person cared.
…And then it’s R that pulls away first. Enjolras looks like he was very willing to keep that little Hug of Mutual Understanding going because he and Grantaire are finally really communicating honestly, but Grantaire can’t seem to actually allow himself more than a fleeting moment of emotional nakedity, so he pushes Enjolras away. Enjolras, who keeps his hand behind R’s head and keeps his eyes trained on R as he falls because he cares.
They both care so much and it hurts.
I know I’m reading too far into this but just allow me to have a moment, okay.
forgive me for hijacking the post, but i don’t think you’re over thinking it at all
because right after this magical gifset ends, enjolras tips their foreheads together and (iirc) gives this tiny little smile as grantaire passes him his jug.
this moment is all about them finally opening up to each other. this is when enjolras realizes why grantaire is still there and will still be there at the end, and he realizes, like in the brick, that there is something infinitely precious in that. so he tries to hold on to this last good thing at the end of their world, but he can’t stay forever, he has a revolution to run
and grantaire is absolutely stunned in the aftermath, too — and then enraged when marius starts pawing at him and singing about cosette, because he just had this watershed moment with enjolras, and they’ve established they’re both going to die. at least marius’s cosette who he loves so much will live on after him; grantaire has no such luck.
this blocking will be permanently etched into my brain until the end of time because it’s so understated and beautiful.
les mis au / the walking dead
several years ago, a zombie outbreak occurred and the world fell into irreparable shambles. almost all communications were shut down and since then many have lost hope of ever contacting loved ones. to survive, most people have broken up into small groups, but hostilities run deeply between survivors as they search out whatever supplies remain. jean valjean, after surviving the initial wave of chaos encounters a girl named cosette wandering the streets with a shotgun resting on her shoulder. because cosette had lost her mother recently and valjean also had no family left to speak of, the two decide to travel together at least until they find somewhere safe. they eventually run into enjolras and his unkempt group of survivors who have been scraping by in a small section of the city they have barricaded off. gavroche scouts out supplies, enjolras tries to make the difficult decisions for the group, and grantaire sits around with a shotgun and a bottle of whiskey. javert is a part of the remaining military force that exists in a heavily guarded base outside of the city limits. the military has attempted to “aid” the survivors behind the barricade, but it has long been suspected among the survivors that their true intentions are to line them up against a wall and shoot them, so they have not given an inch. it doesn’t matter so much in the end, because everyone is a carrier of the virus, and no matter how you die, you turn.
