Tom Hooper Talks ‘Les Misérables’ Rerelease, Says He’s Hoping to Get Back to Big-Screen Filmmaking


Tom Hooper says he's looking forward to getting back behind the camera and making movies for the big screen again.

But as a remastered “Les Misérables” heads back to U.K. cinemas in time for Valentine’s Day (in the U.S. it’s scheduled for Feb. 23), Hooper hints to Variety that he’s ready to return to feature filmmaking, with several projects nearing. Since “Cats,” which Hooper hasn’t widely discussed since its release, the director has mostly focused on commercial work (recent clients include Vodafone, McDonald’s, Santander and Vanish). Alongside giving his film a new lick of paint with the latest audio and visual technologies, Hooper admits returning to “Les Mis” was an emotional experience.
