The Inspector

Oscar winner Russell Crowe is getting his mojo back with some high-profile gigs.

The actor, who’s playing Henry Cavill’s Kryptonian father in Man of Steel, will antagonize Hugh Jackman in Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Les Misérables as the heartless inspector Javert.

Sir Cameron MacKintosh, a veteran Misérables producer who is also overseeing the project opening December 2012, believes both Jackman and Crowe will do fantastic with the musical based on Victor Hugo’s novel.

“Not only were they born to play these roles vocally,” he said, “but they thrillingly inhabit this great score.

That’s some high praise right there, so let’s hope these two live up to it.
