Les Misérables is the 2012 British film adaptation of the musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the novel of the same name by Victor Hugo and was directed by Tom Hooper from a screenplay by William Nicholson, Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schönberg, and Herbert Kretzmer.

After the concert performance to mark the 25th anniversary of the musical (in the revised 1985 version) on October 3, 2010, producer Cameron Mackintosh announced the resumption of the project.
