According to broadwayworld.com, the casting for the movie version of Les Miserables is about wrapped up.

Amanda Seyfried (Mean Girls) is being offered the role of Cosette, while…and I can’t believe I have to say this…

TAYLOR SWIFT is being offered the role of Eponine!
Man, I was worried this would happen. As I stated in my earlier post about this, it’s just NOT RIGHT. I am a fan of Taylor’s, but…we’re talking BROADWAY songs here! And not just Broadway songs, one of THE BEST songs in all of Broadway (On My Own)! And when someone like LEA MICHELE is in the running? COME ON!
But I DO understand why they would choose Taylor over Lea. Just based on the amount of FANS Taylor would attract can outshadow the level of vocal ability/talent for the role (Not only does Taylor not have the best voice, but she doesn’t have much acting experience either!).
Although this IS a movie, so the vocals in the movie can definitely be “PERFECTED.” But STILL!
I’m so sad about this…
