We already heard mention of Hugh Jackman being up for a role in the upcoming Les Miserables musical film and now it's official - Jackman will be portraying prisoner 24601, Jean Valjean in Tom Hooper's film!I was curious to read that Russell Crowe has expressed an interest in the role of Javert and have to admit that I would be keen on seeing him join the film. However, it sounds like Paul Bettany is likely to be cast as the determined inspector who tracks down Valjean.
I'm excited that Hooper (The King's Speech) will be at the helm and happy to hear that filming is expected to begin in February 2012!
