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!

i’m fucking crying

but what other thing is ‘grantaire’?

if you still haven’t read ‘les miserables’ by victor hugo, you should leave this site immediately and read it before you do anything else. if you have already, you probably remember a drunk man who has, almost at the end of the book, one of the most glorious moments of literature in the xix century

this is a fucking software development site???

‘Even art and software have mysterious connections’

What the-?! I I LOVE THIS

hernaniste:

A word cloud of the whole text of the Brick (trans. Hapgood).  These are the 150 most common words (minus the/and/was…), with the biggest ones being the most common.

…I really love this, especially how the words ‘terrible’ and ‘Enjolras’ ended up in the same place.

Being on a total ‘minor ladies of Les Mis’ kick right now, I found myself reading the Favourite parts again, and I noticed this little detail (bolding mine, obviously):

Favourite having been in England, was admired by Dahlia and Zephine. She had had an establishment of her own very early in life. Her father was an old unmarried professor of mathematics, a brutal man and a braggart, who went out to give lessons in spite of his age. This professor, when he was a young man, had one day seen a chambermaid’s gown catch on a fender; he had fallen in love in consequence of this accident. The result had been Favourite.

And onto our beloved (ha) Felix Tholomyes, caught mid-ramble:

The property of love is to err. A love affair is not made to crouch down and brutalize itself like an English serving-maid who has callouses on her knees from scrubbing.

Tholomyes, you just insulted Favourite’s mother in front of her, didn’t you? You dick.

Lesser-fancasted Les Miserables characters:
Gemma Whelan as Matelote

“…Matelote is a chimaera. This is the secret of her birth: a Gothic Pygmalion, who was making gargoyles for cathedrals, fell in love with one of them, the most horrible, one fine morning. He besought Love to give it life, and this produced Matelote. Look at her, citizens! She has chromate-of-lead-colored hair, like Titian’s mistress, and she is a good girl. I guarantee that she will fight well. Every good girl contains a hero…”
