Hugh Jackman might star in a big-screen musical adaptation of “Les Miserables” to be directed by Oscar-winning “King’s Speech” director Tom Hooper.

Jackman would play Jean Valjean, the man jailed for stealing bread to feed his sister while also becoming the guardian of a young woman named Cosette, all against the backdrop of the French Revolution.

It would be the first time the actor, who is a singer and dancer with a Tony Award for his role in “The Boy from Oz,” would perform on the big screen.
