Remeber those rumors about Taylor Swift joining the cast of Les Miserables?

Now that the movie's hit theaters, the producer is speaking out about why Taylor didn't get a part in the film...

Even though Taylor Swift didn't get the role of Eponine in Les Miserables, the film's producer thinks she's very talented.

Cameron Mackintosh says, “She’s a lovely woman and she auditioned, and she was completely un-starry. And she’s talented. It’s just that actually the requirements of that role were better fitted by Sam.” Sam is Samantha Barks, who played the role on London's West End.

Mackintosh doesn't think the movie needed the additional star-power Taylor would have brought to the part. He says, "Les Misérables is the star.”
