In two WTF moments in film news today, Taylor Swift is in and Kristen Wiig is out… maybe. Swift has been cast the upcoming film adaptation of Les Miserables alongside Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter. Tragically, the country singer landed the role of Eponine, while Amanda Seyfried will play Cosette. And this movie was going to be so promising. Dammit.
Meanwhile, Universal is reportedly considering making a Bridesmaids 2 without Kristen Wiig! They do know she wrote the movie with Annie Mumolo, right? But a $288 million worldwide profit for the studio means they’ll want a sequel even though Wiig is adamant: “We aren’t working on that,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “Annie and I aren’t planning a sequel. We are writing something else.”

just think of the demographics swift will pull in.. makes sense
Taylor Swift is simply atrocious.
I don’t think Taylor Swift as Eponine is an awful choice. It actually kinda makes sense.
And I can’t tell by the blogger’s grammar if s/he is also upset by Amanda Seyfried selection as Cosette.
Have they ever heard Swift sing? She can’t! She doesn’t have the range that On My Own and A Little Rain needs! They should have just went with Lea Michele for the part since she was the top choice!
Ugh! First a Twilight musical and now Taylor Swift in Les Miserables? Truly signs of the apocalypse.
