PHANTOM CASTING FINALLY MADE?
A British newspaper is reporting that Joel Schumacher has finally picked his Christine for the film adaptation of Phantom of the Opera. And its not Katie Holmes, its not Charlotte Church and its not Rosie ODonnell not that the last one was even in the running.
According to The Daily Mail, ‘Emmy Rossum had been signed on to star as Christine, the young woman who becomes the object of desire for The Phantom of the Opera. She will star in Joel Schumacher’s movie (based on ALW’s musical), with Gerard Butler as the disfigured musical maestro who stalks her through the Paris Opera. Ms Rossum will be just 17 when cameras start rolling at Pinewood studios. Schumacher picked her because she can act – and she satisfied Lloyd Webber’s insistence that his Christine have a terrific voice’.
Take this with a grain of salt folks, because theres apparently trouble with Gerard Butler, so claiming hes still the star is a huge oversight.
