Tom Hooper

Tom Hooper has managed to turn the incredible stage production Les Miserable and take it to the silver screen, which is the first for Les Miserable, its has the ideal cast, taking some famous names from the stage show and combining them with Hollywood stars, I think this take was always going to be successful, alot of the actors praised the director for letting them sing live instead of miming, which the said allowed them to put more effort into acting instead of  concentrating on lip syncing, I think this worked fantastically and was completely necessary as the characters go through so much and without the right cast and acting chops it would not have been believable.
