Amanda Seyfried News

Actor George Blagden has joined the star-studded cast of the upcoming LES MISÉRABLES film adaptation as Grantaire, reports Variety today.

Sarah Jessica Parker has been cast as Gloria Steinem in LOVELACE, opposite Amanda Seyfried and Peter Sarsgaard. Parker is replacing Demi Moore in the role of the iconic author and activist.

As first reported in Us Weekly, actress Mary Louise Parker will be replacing Demi Moore in the role of Gloria Steinem in the upcoming film biopic LOVELACE.

Este año, en la esperada versión cinematográfica de Los Miserables, Colm Wilkinson - que estrenó el espectáculo en octubre de 1985 como Jean Valjean - y Frances Ruffelle - la Eponine original - participarán en la película protagonizada por Hugh Jackman y Samantha Barks que interpretarán esos papeles respectivamente.

Les Misérables originally opened in London at the Barbican Theatre on 8 October 1985, transferred to the Palace Theatre on 4 December 1985 and moved to its current home at the Queen's Theatre on 3 April 2004. When the show opened, it featured Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean and Frances Ruffelle as Eponine.

Chlo Sevigny is rounding up the cast of LOVELACE. She will portray Rebecca, a feminist journalist on freelance assignment for a men's magazine to find out who the real Linda Lovelace is.

According to The Huffington Post, actress Demi Moore has been hospitalized for what her representatives are calling 'exhaution' issues. As a result, she will be dropping out of the upcoming film 'Lovelace', a biopic of porn star Linda Lovelace. Moore was to have a cameo role in the film, portraying the feminist activist Gloria Steinem.

According to recent published reports, Swift is currently in rehearsals for the movie London.

Looking for a quick roundup of this week's events? Look no further - here are some of the best articles the week had to offer!

The ultra-starry cast for the upcoming feature film version of the international smash musical sensation LES MISERABLES finally got one step closer to finding its Eponine and Cossette this week, as offers have gone out to pop music superstar Taylor Swift and breakout screen starlet Amanda Seyfried for the hotly anticipated Tom Hooper adaptation of the tuner which will also star Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe as Jean Valjean and Javert, respectively, Anne Hathaway as Fantine and Tony-winner Eddie Redmayne as Marius. While Seyfried is perhaps best known to Broadway babies for her lovable and memorable turn in the role of Meryl Streep's daughter in the ABBA jukebox movie musical MAMMA MIA!, Swift has displayed her ample affection for all things theatrical with her recent Broadway-themed SPEAK NOW tour as well as her memorable appearance on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE and on concert stages around the world. Both ladies certainly have the musical chops to take on these much-beloved Broadway roles - even if the soundtrack is to actually be recorded live on set, as the director himself has confirmed he intends to do - and, while neither Swift nor Seyfried has been officially confirmed by the producers as of this writing, both appear to more than merely satisfy the complex casting necessities for the standout roles and the overall younger-sided casting of the feature film adaptation so far. Yet, no matter how fantastic they may turn out to be in the finished final film, it sure will be difficult to manage to make much of an impression with a cast as impossibly accomplished as the one assembled for this film up until now - Jackman, Crowe, Hathaway, Redmayne, Aaron Tveit, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen included! Plus, who knows what new musical numbers Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Shonberg are cooking up - and what characters shall sing them?! Whatever comes to pass, Christmas 2012 will be all about LES MISERABLES: THE MOVIE MUSICAL for Broadway babies everywhere - many of whom who have been waiting for this moment (and this movie) to arrive for over 20 years! Let's hope it was worth the wait! Until then, we have this look and listen to what made these ladies oh-so right for the roles. After all, less than 360 days remain until the big 24601!

Tony Bennett, Ray Romano and Phil Donahue will headline the celebration as stars from the entertainment industry show their support for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's 50th anniversary with a benefit gala in Los Angeles on January 7, 2012.
