Currently starring in Martin Scorcese’s HUGO, Sacha Baron Cohen is another big name to join Tom Hooper’s all-star musical LES MISERABLES. The BORAT star is going the appear as Monsieur Thenardier opposite Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway in Victor Hugo’s classic tale.
Director Tom Hooper recently announced his expected 3D shot film will stick to the traditional 2D method of filmmaking to avoid alienating fans of the famous musical. Sacha Baron Cohen is no stranger to the musical genre after featuring in Tim Burton’s SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET, which was adapted from Stephen Sondheim’s hit show.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
