The King's Speech Director To Do Les Miz?

Filed under: Broadway Babies • Film Flickers

kings speech director may take on les miz

Back in October, the musical version of Les Misérables celebrated its quarter century birthday.

Now, it looks like a new film version of the Victor Hugo novel/Broadway musical is in the works, and The King's Speech director Tom Hooper may take on the project.

Unlike 1998's non-musical Les Miserables film which starred Liam Neeson, this version is being "conceived as a big-budget musical."

We think this is a great idea! We fully support exposing a new generation to Les Miz…especially if Tom Hooper works on the project. He's definitely got the directing skillz to pull it off.

Are U excited for more Les Miz? Do U think the King's Speech director is right for the project?

Justin Bieber BOOED While Accepting Milestone Award, Insists He's "Not A Gimmick"!!! WATCH HERE!

Eeeeee this is just SO awkward!!!

Justin Bieber had a VERY eventful evening during last night's Billboard Music Awards; not only did he catch a kiss from Selena Gomez AND put on multiple performances, he also won awards...

One of which was the first ever Milestone Award for musical ingenuity and innovation!

BUT, it seems the audience was NOT very happy that Biebs beat out Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars for the title, as he was BOOED while getting up on stage to accept the award AND when he wrapped up his VERY defensive acceptance speech!

Ch-ch-check out the cringe-worthy incident (above)!

Ooooof, and you can tell that when the booing starts, people from Bieber's camp try and cheer louder to mask it, which only makes it worse.

Hmmm we wonder if this mass negative reaction to Justin be about a certain abandoned monkey? Or are people getting tired of hearing him sing the word "baby" for the 1000th time?

And are you kidding us with this speech, Biebs? Way to NOT sound in the LEAST bit grateful... he even sounds pissed when he's thanking people!

Siiighhh. Well, whatever the reasons for JB's super strange speech, we are NOT impressed. And neither, it seems, was the crowd.
