I did write this story. But even so, I keep misreading the headline as \”Tobe Hooper In Negotiations To Direct Musical \’Les Miserables\’

Which opens a whole new world of possibilities.

@Cory – that version wasn\’t a musical — unless you\’re being facetious and then ignore this correction.

Also though, I really loved this version of Les Miserables as a young person, to the point of owning it on VHS for crissake. Neeson is a great Jean Valjean. I never saw the musical, but I remember it having a huge following when it came out — it almost seems strange it\’s taken this long to get to the screen.

They just made this 13 years ago.

They should call this a reboot. My guess is that it will be hyped all year as an Oscar contender and then slip quietly into the night like Rob Marshall\’s Oscar follow-up \”Memoirs of a Geisha.\”

I saw the name \”Tom Hooper\” and for a brief moment I had already forgotten this boring cunt. Good luck with Les Mis, shithead.

David Fincher was robbed. That is all.

I thought he was gonna get out of historical fiction and get with contemporary stories. He\’s developing a wheelhouse a lil\’ too early…
