As well as Crowe the film has go a release date nailed down;
the film will attempt to sing it way into our Christmas hearts on the 7th
of December 2012.
Jackman has been cast as Jean Valjean, for some time, but
casting the other main character, Valjean’s nemesis Inspector Javert, has been
a long process, not least because the role required another actor with strong
singing ability.
The film is being produced by Cameron Mackintosh, who
produced the stage musical and the original score / songs by Composer
Claude-Michel Schoenberg is also to be used. The film has been adapted from the
original musical by William Nicholson and that was, of course, based on the
original novel by Victor Hugo.
Both Crowe and Russell (who share a link of sorts with Crowe
being the original choice to play Wolverine in Bryan Singer’s X-Men, but roving
too expensive) and whilst Jackman will be rushing off from filming Les Mis to
the set of The Wolverine; Crowe will fly off to play the father of Kal-El AKA
Superman, in Man of Steel.
