"Hugh Jackman has said that everything in Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables is &amp;quot;full-on&amp;quot;. The actor, who plays Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper&amp;#039;s upcoming adaptation of the stage musical, told Empire that it felt more real to be singing live on set compared to using vocal overdubs.  &amp;quot;So much of your brain is on the miming, then you&amp;#039;ve got to act,&amp;quot; he said of the usual process for movie musicals. &amp;quot;The very first scene that I&amp;#039;m in, we were close to the Alps. It was below zero, it was very windy and you can see steam, you can hear the cold in my voice. It feels immediate and real.&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables is one of the most emotive musicals ever written. There&amp;#039;s no &amp;#039;walk in the park&amp;#039; scene. Everything is full-on.&amp;quot;  His co-star Eddie Redmayne - who plays Marius in the film - agreed, saying: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really quite intense.&amp;quot; Redmayne quipped: &amp;quot;If it needs tweaking in post-production, I&amp;#039;m relying on the fact that they&amp;#039;ll get Michael Ball in to sing a couple of lines.&amp;quot; Read the full feature in this month&amp;#039;s Empire magazine, out today (July 26). Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables is out on January 11, 2013 in the UK and December 14, 2012 in the US Watch the Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables trailer below:  Les Mis\u00C3\u00A9rables - photo gallery  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
