Scoggins Casting Rumor Roundup: Les Miserables Edition

Do you hear the people sing, singing the song of Les Mis casting rumors?  We do, and it looks like Hugh Jackman isn’t on his own anymore in Oscar winning-director Tom Hooper‘s Les Miserables adaptation for Working Title.  We’re hearing that Russell Crowe is in negotiations to play Javert, Geoffrey Rush is negotations to play Thenardier, and Helena Bonham Carter is in negotiations to play Madame Thenardier.

We’re also hearing the production has shown interest in Hayden Panettiere, Miranda Cosgrove, Lucy Hale, and Emma Watson for Eponine and Cosette, as well as Amy Adams and Rebecca Hall for Fantine.
