Well, finally after this project being up in the air since 1990, it seems Andrew Lloyd Webber is going to turn his broadway music onto the silver screen. Now heres a little ten year history in less than a paragraph.
Well way back before I was born in 1984. Mr. Webber read 'The Pahntom of the Opera' by some dead guy and said to his production company The Really Useful Group. "Hey chums this looks fun, let's make it into a broadway musical that will touch the hearts of tons". Ok so they did, it started off with his (then) wife sarah Brightman as Christine and MICHEAL CRAWFORD as Phantom (hereby reffered to as Erik). So that went great, exceeded expectations, I unfortunately never saw it, my Mom saw it in LA though when she was preggers with me though so I guess it counts for something. Ok in 1990 they were going to make it, but due to problems concerning the production company Warner Brothers and Webbbers and Brightmans divorce, they didn't. And now they are going to.
Nows here the jist: Joel Schumacher is the director. Really Useful Company is producing it along with Warner brothers (I always gets mixed up with who does what)
Announced Cast (so far)
Gread Butler: Erik
Emmy Rossum: Christine
Alan Cumming: umm...i don't know
Minnie Driver: Carlotta
Patrick Wilson: Rauol
Anywho, I am really foggy on the details, it's supposed to be released in late 2004. but who knows.
