And it was then I realized how the film could have been much better than it was. Of course, I immediately began listening to the London Cast CD again. Although none of the leads particularly struck me as being perfect for the roles, they all seemed good enough, and overall the film was entrancing. I hadn’t listened to it for quite some time (for I had mostly forgotten about it) when I saw the film adaptation. However, having never seen the stage version, I could not discern how the story went and what the context of the songs were.

In fact there were a couple of times when Joel said – back off, you’re working too hard, just relax. I’d walk past the 600 crew, they’d be like √¢‚Ǩ‚Äù when do you start, when do you start? You√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢re The Phantom Of The Phantom! When do you start? And you know, it kind of made me a little crazy, because obviously I was nervous about taking on this role, and also knedw there were a lot of people going √¢‚Ǩ‚Äù what has he got? Who is this guy? Why is he The Phantom? So therefore instills a lot of fear and fear is the great motivator There’s even recognition that he was stepping into a role that was going to be hard to live up to: Cinema Confidential have a short, but interesting, interview with Gerard Butler on playing the lead in The Phantom of the Opera on the very tough sounding preparation for the role.
