Anyone looking forward to the "Phantom of the Opera" movie?

[U2@NYC]

I loved the musical, so I guess I am looking forward to the movie as well...

Too bad that Joel Schumacher (famous for butchering the 'Batman' series) is directing it...

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

When does it come out?

 

[U2@NYC]

I think December 23rd...

 

[Laura M]

Yes
It starts here next week I think, I'm going to see it with a friend

 

[AvsGirl41]

Very much so. In some places it comes out the 22nd.

Gerard Butler...

I'm really looking forward to this. I'm ready!

 

[shari schultz]

I have seen the previews all day for this......Getting more and more excited each time

 

[WinnieThePoo]

this will top Titanic

 

[Mr. BAW]

We've never seen the play; maybe we'll catch the movie...local LA broadcaster said the production crew spent nearly $2 million in candles!!!

 

[Bonochick]

I keep misreading this title as Phantom Of The Oprah.

 

[Doozer61]

i can't wait. saw the play 3 times!

and it comes out on my birthday!

 

[luvsU2]

ooh definately can't wait. I have been listening to the music from it since i saw the preview.

 

[U2@NYC]

Yup, music is great.

I hope we do not get disappointed as expectations seem to be quite high...

 

[Pearl]

I can't wait to see this!
I hope it would be as good as it is on Broadway

I keep misreading this title as Phantom Of The Oprah.

i just started cracking up in the middle of class when i read that.

yeah i posted a thread about it awhile ago. my parents and i are psyched!! we got goosebumps just watching the previews.

Is Lon Chaney in it?

 

[bammo2]

this comes out on friday I think here, so will go and see it on saturday

I saw the show in london - I had front row seats and literally had to duck when the chandelier came down

I hope they've done it justice. I saw an interview with Andrew Lloyd Webber at the london premier, and he was pretty excited about it, which bodes well....

ALW also put $90 mil of his own money into it.

Just know that ALW wanted Joel Schumacher to direct this film. He liked Joel after he saw the Lost Boys.

Go figure!

I'm looking forward to the movie. Hopefully, it'll be good. Also, Minnie Driver is in it!

this will top Titanic

or not

 

[AvsGirl41]

I do think it's the sign of the coming apocalypse when "Fat Albert" not only beats out "Phantom," but Scorcese and Anderson...

Oh humanity, you deserve to die.
