OlderTaylor Swift: Eponine in 'Les Miserables'?
Casting for the all-musical, film adaption of Les Miserables is wrapping up and Taylor Swift has been offered the role of Eponine!
According to online reports (via BroadwayWorld and Playlist) from Twitch, the 22-year-old musician would play Eponine opposite Amanda Seyfried as Cosette and Eddie Redmayne as Marius.
If Amanda and Taylor both accept, they would join Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and many more in the film, which is set to open on December 7, 2012.

i love swifty but no.
I want NPH in it but yeah. maybe a new person should be Eponine
If Taylor can at least sing like Lea Salonga http://youtu.be/OpH7V6kMlpk … then i have no problem with that.
this is disgusting Taylor Swift should be making albums not be starring the lead role in a musical Lea Michele deserved this, big mistake
Well, I think she could with the role Eponine, the truth will not lose anything by trying, the best of luck :) #Hope
Oh good lord no, no offense to taylor but she hasnt got the chops to pull this off, as simply as i can put it this cast is heading for disaster..if they want to do it any justice either leave it well alone and don’t touch it or cast appropriately!!!!!
I love Taylor with all of my heart but I just don’t think this is the right role for her at all. Eponine is such a huge and difficult part and I think they need to pick someone with a lot of musical theater experience
Taylor Swift cannot sing for her life! Les Miserables is an amazing play, and to put Taylor Swift in the film will ruin the entire film for me. NEVER SEEING THIS MOVIE. Don’t even waste your time if she is going to be in it. She’s a terrible singer who should be behind the camera and writing songs, not in the spot light.
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and NO. My ears are BLEEDING just imagining her sing On My Own. Keep her in country music and for the sake of the broadway world keep her AWAY from renowned musicals…or any musical..PLEASE
No offense to her fans she’s a fine songwriter but she can’t sing worth damn and never could.
My enthusiasm over this movie just went out the window – anyone who has the records or has seen it in London or New York will know what I mean.
NICK JONAS SHOULD GET A PART. He’s a Les Miserables veteran.
nope. LEA MICHELE
No no no no no no no!!!!!!! I’m sorry but being trained in Theatre, she is not the right choice for this role. You want the movie to be good you’ve got to cast the parts correctly!!!!! Her voice would not do the character of Eponine justice, as her voice is extremely whiny and she doesn’t breathe correctly. As someone else commented if she is cast, my enthusiasm for this beloved musical to be made into a movie will go out the window. Nor does she even look like an Eponine.
Cast Correctly People!!!!!
That makes no sense. I don’t understand why they would pick Taylor (as much as I love her) over Lea Michele who’s an actual broadway star and has been in Les Miz before? It’s the wrong choice. Lea would fit it far better.
NO! What a HORRIBLE choice. Taylor Swift is a NO for movies and musicals, ESPECIALLY Les Mis, and ESPECIALLY the role of Eponine. This is a disgrace.
OH GOD NO!
Casting Nick Jonas as Marius was a bad idea. Now this? Nick had no passion when he sang.
I could not see Taylor grasping the emotion Eponine has either.
Wasn’t she up against Lea Michele for the role? Lea deserves it, she was on Broadway! One of her first roles was in Les Mis, for goodness sake!
I love Taylor, but no. Should be Lea Michele
No, Taylor Swift should absolutely not be playing Eponine! The role should have gone to Lea Michele or Evan Rachel Wood, both who were reportedly being considered for it. Taylor’s great at what she does, but she’s no actor and her vocal talents are very limited. And I doubt she has the emotional maturity to properly play the part. She simply won’t be able to handle this demands of the role and will really hurt the quality of a production. What a shame they chose to disrespect Broadway and go with the flashy blonde country star just to get attention. What a blatant disgusting attempt at stunt casting. I will definitely not be seeing this train wreck.
VOMIT. taylor swift cannot sing. this girl needs to go away and she needed to go away yesterday.
HEARTBREAKING. Should have been Lea Michele.
Holy hell. NO! I love the girl as a songwriter, but honestly she doesn’t have the voice for Eponine and she can’t act. Seriously! Did anyone see her Valentine’s Day?? It was cringe worthy!
i am a huuuuuge fan of Tay, and i support her in whatever she does. But looking at the comments above, i’m afraid she would recieve a shitload of crap if she took the roll. Just because people have so many opinions without even giving it a chance. Seriously, i’m going to laugh in your faces when the movie comes out and she’s so fantastic and blew your minds away.
So give it a chance. You don’t know anything yet.
