Christophe Julien (Jean Valjean, Bye Bye Morons, Delicious, Saint-Ex, Second Round, See You Up There) has been tapped to score the upcoming French period drama Les Misérables. The film is directed by Fred Cavayé (Mea Culpa, Anything for Her) and stars Vincent Lindon, Tahar Rahim, Camille Cottin, Benjamin Lavernhe, Noémie Merlant, Megan Northam, Vassili Schneider, Marie Colomb and Louis Peres. The movie based on Victor Hugo’s classic novel of the same name follows Jean Valjean who – after enduring 19 years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread – emerges a hardened man and seeks redemption by reinventing himself as a respected dignitary under a new identity. Richard Grandpierre (Brotherhood of the Wolf, Them) and Olivier Delbosc (Swimming Pool, Little Nicholas) are producing the project. Julien has previously collaborated with Cavayé on such features as Nothing to Hide, Farewell, Mr. Hoffman & This Is the Goat!. Les Misérables will be released in French theaters on October 14, 2026. No domestic distribution deal has been announced yet.
