![]() ![]() ![]() I fancy myself a bit of a fan.Īnd despite my personal grudges against Joel Joel Schumacher for what he did to Batman and hero movies in general, I have to admit that I fell in love with the film adaptation. Let me first say that I have seen the stage production of Phantom three times. ![]() The Phantom will be reunited with Christine, the “Swedish soprano.”Īnd who does Webber have in mind to take the Phantom role? He says, “We are pretty clear who our Phantom is going to be – I can’t say who,” he said. “Even Freud went because it was so extraordinary … people who were freaks and oddities were drawn towards it because it was a place where they could be themselves.” The sequel will be set a decade or so after the first installment, during which time the Phantom has relocated from the Paris Opéra of Gaston Leroux’s original novel to Coney Island in Brooklyn, then still a hugely popular beach-side amusement resort for New Yorkers. His hopes are that a sequel to the movie based on his stage musical will in turn inspire stage productions based on a movie. The title he is working with is Phantom: Love Never Dies. Because no one asked for it, Andrew Lloyd Webber decided that his insanely successful Broadway production The Phantom of the Opera needed a sequel. ![]()
