I always get excited when I hear a really solid story is getting made into a film. Hence my giddiness over The Phantom of the Opera! With all the garbage that gets turn into films these days it’s nice to see a classic. Don’t know what Phantom is about?:
The movie tells the story of a disfigured musical genius (Butler) who haunts the catacombs beneath the Paris Opera, waging a reign of terror over its occupants. When he falls fatally in love with the lovely Christine (Rossum), the Phantom devotes himself to creating a new star for the Opera, exerting a strange sense of control over the young soprano as he nurtures her extraordinary talents.
How cool. I can’t wait for this one to hit theaters. As an added bonus, if you want to hear a clip of music from the upcoming film, the good folks over at Coming Soon have provied us all with it. You can go hear it here.
