Geen idee of het al ergens staat, maar Broadwayworld.com postte het bericht van Cameron Mackintosh die aanwezig was bij de castpresentatie in Madrid van Les Miserables en heeft bevestigd dat de verfilming van Les Miserables er aan komt:
Last Wednesday Cameron Mackintosh was in Madrid to present the cast of the new production of Les Miserables that will open in November. In the press conference he was asked by a journalist about why there wasn’t yet a movie adaptation of the musical.
BroadwayWorld Spain was there to capture Mackintosh’s reply, which was “I signed a contract yesterday. And, in fact, the concert at the O2 next week, I’m presenting with Universal Pictures and it’s huge—with over 500 in the cast and it is being simultaneously screened to over a 1000 cinemas around the world - including Spain. It’s been a long time coming, I originally was going to do it after the Broadway opening but mercifully it didn’t happen. No film could have been as successful as Les Miserables has been on stage. And now, after 25 years, it seems a very good time to do it. We’ll be working with a screenplay writer over the next few months and hopefully if all that comes together, we will find a great director and start.”
