Les Miserables | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Lily Collins shares a laugh while lounging by the water on Sunday (July 15) in Ischia, Italy.

The 29-year-old actress enjoyed some time off with friends at the Hotel Regina Isabella.

Over the weekend, Lily shared a first look photo of herself as Fantine in the BBC/PBS Masterpiece adaptation of Les Miserables.

“First look! I’m so thrilled to finally share Fantine with you. Just wait until you see her tragic transformation. More #LesMiserables to come…,” she shared on Instagram. Check out the photo here!

The new version will not be adapted from the hit stage musical, but will “delve deep into the layers of Hugo’s story, exploring Valjean and policeman Javert’s cat-and-mouse relationship, against the backdrop of France at a time of civil unrest,” Variety reports.

FYI: Lily is wearing Privé Revaux sunglasses.

Dominic West, David Oyelowo, and Lily Collins will lead the cast of an upcoming six-part mini-series adaptation of the classic novel Les Miserables!

The upcoming project will not be adapted from the smash hit musical, which was turned into an Oscar-winning film in 2012.

The story will follow “French convict Jean Valjean (West) and his struggles to escape his past while being hunted for years over a parole violation by Inspector Javert (Oyelowo), set against the backdrop of the uprising of 1832,” according to Variety.

Lily will play Fantine while the cast also includes Adeel Akhtar and Olivia Colman as Monsieur and Madame Thénardier, Ellie Bamber as Cosette, Josh O’Connor as Marius, and Erin Kellyman as Eponine.

The mini-series will be produced by BBC and A&E Networks with filming beginning in February 2018 in Belgium and Northern France.

We’ve seen many actors and singers take a stab at songs from Les Miserables, but this pop version of the musical is a super original one that we’re loving!

Natalie Weiss, a Broadway performer who has appeared in the stage production of the classic musical, performed a medley of songs from the show all with a pop twist during her recent concert in London.

During the medley, you’ll hear Christina Aguilera‘s “Beautiful,” Mariah Carey‘s “Hero,” and more woven into the melody of the songs. So cool!

The 30-year-old actress was recently mocked in a funny new video spoofing her Oscar-nominated performance in Les Miserables.

“I probably watched [the 'I Dreamed a Dream' scene] five or six times … and tried to get the mannerisms,” the spoof’s star Emma Fitzpatrick told the Daily Beast. “That’s the joke: making it look as spot-on as you can.”

“It would be awesome if [Anne] saw it,” Emma added. “She seems like a funny chick.”
