They keep taunting us with the possibility. HAPPEN ALREADY, DAMNIT!
Anne Hathaway in talks for 'Les Miserables'
Back in 2009, Oscar host Hugh Jackman dragged Anne Hathaway on stage for a sensational Frost/Nixon duet. Last February, Hathaway had to settle for a solo of “On My Own” from Les Miserables after Jackman, she joked, “bailed on [her] at the last minute.” Well, it looks like the two might be joining forces again soon. As BroadwayWorld.com reported last night, Anne Hathaway is in talks to join Jackman in a film adaptation of the Les Miserables musical. A spokesperson for the actress says that Hathaway is considering playing Fantine, the ill-fated mother of Cosette, opposite Jackman’s Jean Valjean. The King’s Speech‘s Tom Hooper is slated to direct.
If you did not witness their awesome duet, and uber-hot chemistry (not that these roles would require the latter, damnit!), check it out here! Their section begins at about 2:15.
