TOM HOOPER has opted out of using 3D technology for his upcoming LES MISERABLES film over concerns for moviegoers who "physically struggle" with the format.
The Oscar-winning director admits he was "very tempted" to shoot in 3D to enhance the big-screen adaptation of the popular stage show and even filmed practice scenes to test out the technique.
But Hooper has decided to stick with more traditional methods to ensure fans with sight problems will enjoy the film too.
He explains, "I can definitely announce it’s good old-fashioned 2D. If you have a certain type of eyesight (3D) can be more demanding than watching a normal movie.
"With a two-and-a-half hour film, I didn’t want to make something that anyone might think, ‘That’s not for me, because I don’t like the (3D) medium.’" Hooper’s Les Miserables, starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway, is expected to start shooting early next year (12) ahead of a planned December (12) release.

Actress VEENA MALIK has taken legal action against bosses of a men’s magazine, alleging photos appearing to show her naked were "tampered" with.
The Pakistani star is suing chiefs of FHM India and claims she feels "cheated and duped" by her cover shoot, which shows her apparently nude.
Her legal team has demanded magazine bosses withdraw all copies of the issue from stores, and Malik wants $2 million (£1.25 million) in damages.
Her lawyer Ayaz Bilawala tells the BBC, "Ms Malik has been cheated and duped. She had a photoshoot, but there was no nudity. She had some clothes on. In the photos that were shown to her (for approval) she had her clothes on. She has suffered from a loss of reputation and we are demanding damages and withdrawal of the magazine from newsstands." FHM India editor Kabeer Sharma denies the allegations and adds, "We have seen the notice and forwarded it to our legal department for appropriate action. We are looking at various options, including filing a countersuit."

ROBERT DOWNEY, JR. dressed in women’s clothes on the set of his new SHERLOCK HOLMES movie after suggesting the idea to producers.
The actor has revealed his super-sleuth character was supposed to go undercover as a priest for a scene in upcoming sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, but he felt a transvestite disguise would be more interesting.
Downey, Jr. was surprised when movie bosses accepted his idea and he was left feeling "a little self-conscious" when the time came for him to dress up as a woman.
He tells E! Online, "I thought I looked like if my sister was training for the Russian Olympics… on steroids… Here’s the dumb thing. This was my idea. It was not in the script. I think originally it was a priest, and I said, ‘Oh come on, that’s dumb… that’ll be obvious.’ "When I walked on set I felt a little self-conscious about the fact that most people knew it was my idea. ‘Did Robert want his transvestite day, and did the studio accommodate him?’"

Welsh screenwriter RUSSELL T DAVIES has put his career on hold after his partner was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Davies, who is best known for his work on British sci-fi series Doctor Who and for creating its spin-off, Torchwood, has returned from Los Angeles to his home in the U.K. as boyfriend Andrew Smith receives treatment in his health battle.
Smith underwent surgery earlier this year (11) and has had months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy - and the sessions will last into 2012.
Davies tells PinkNews.co.uk, "When we got the results they told us he had cancer of the brain. They needed to operate straight away. Three days later he was having surgery. That’s where we are now. He’s had 30 consecutive days of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and we’ve got six months of chemotherapy ahead of us." The couple is now living in Manchester, north-west England, close to a specialist cancer hospital, The Christie, and Davies has put all his TV projects on hold.
He adds, "It was a simple decision - he’s more important. Who gives a f**k about writing scripts if I can stay at home with him and make his day a bit happier? I don’t know when I’ll start work again. I’ve got to see how Andrew’s health goes."
