Russell Crowe is one of those actors who always seems to be gritty and manly. A pure victim of typecasting but how on Earth did he score a role in Le Mis?
Crowe will be portraying Inspector Javert in the latest version of the Victor Hugo classic. Who cares, right? There has been a million adaptations of this thing- it's as if we have all lived it already. This film has an somewhat interesting twist though- it's music
I'll sneak in some Crowe tweets to explain.
'Pretty much every filmed musical ever done is mimed to a pre-recorded soundtrack… in fact i don''t know of one not,' he clarified to a fan. 'on this, as has been widely reported, we will sing every take and the orchestration will be recorded afterwards, radical really (sic)'
Radical indeed!…

Russell explains
'The soundtrack of the film is the soundtrack of the film… I don''t understand your question,' he wrote on his Twitter profile. 'I hope there''s a tune or two in that lot that touches your heart. All the best (sic)'
I don't understand his answer, but hey it's gritty and manly
Other fools in this epic fail that will earn a spot near Water World in the bowels of Movie Hell are, Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Amanda Seyfried and Sacha Baron Cohen.
