No 3D For Tom Hooper’s LES MISERABLES
Thank God for this news! Director Tom Hooper is currently busy with that movie musical Les Miserables that we already wrote so much about but he’s still not crazy enough to say yes to Les Miserables 3D.

Scarlett Johansson, Evan Rachel Wood, Taylor Swift, Lea Michele in LES MISERABLES Race?
Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper‘s big-screen version of Les Miserables has already big names including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Eddie Redmayne and Geoffrey Rush.

Eddie Redmayne to Co-Star in LES MISERABLES
The charming Brit, who won the Best Featured Actor Tony for playing the assistant in Red opposite Alfred Molina, is now looking to take over the film world too.
Eddie Redmayne, star of Christopher Smith’s supernatural gothic horror film Black Death, will play the role of Marius, the student revolutionary who falls in love with Cosette, even though he’s loved by the far more interesting Eponine. Marius is kind of a bland character, and talented Redmayne, who has the exact blend of the naive delight of children and mature gravitas needed for this role, joins some pretty great thesps like Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe as Inspector Jalvert and Anne Hathaway as Fantine.
Anne Hathaway Joins LES MISERABLES
Well, we’re not surprised, we’re just here to confirm the whole thing! Anne Hathaway has joined the cast of the upcoming Tom Hooper‘s adaptation of Les Miserables, so it looks that we’re having an A-cast on board guys!
As you probably remember from our earlier reports, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe are already on board for the whole thing, and I’m sure they’re quite happy their sweet Fantine is coming to join them!
Yeah, Fantine, because that’s exactly who Anne Hathaway is going to play.
