Hugh Jackman Eyes 'Les Miserables'

Les Miserables
Hugh Jackman is gearing up to revive his song-and-dance routine in epic fashion, as thesp is in talks for a lead role in "Les Miserables," which Tom Hooper is onboard to direct for Universal.

Jackman is most likely to play Jean Valjean, the intrepid protagonist on the run during the French Revolution, as the tenor part matches Jackman's natural range.
