The pic would take the world famous musical--based on Victor Hugo's book--and make it sing once again.
The script for this adaptation was penned by William Nicholson, which Cameron Mackintosh will produce. Jackman says that dialogue has been introduced in the script--amidst the singing, and adds Hooper‘s vision for the project "very exciting"

Shooting will kick off early next year after Hugh wraps The Wolverine
Speaking of Wolvie---while promoting Real Steel at Comic-Con, Jackman revealed which villain Logan battles in the film
Jackman says "I'll fight the Silver Samurai in it so that should be exciting". He also confirmed that shooting will begin in October with most of it taking place in Japan.
In the comics, the Silver Samurai is a Japanese mutant with the power to charge almost anything with a tachyon field. This enables his katana blade to slice through any known substance, with the exception of adamantium (which covers Wolvie's skeleton and claws).
"Christopher McQuarrie has written a fantastic script and it should turn out really good" says Jackman.
