    I honestly don't know how I feel about that news?

    How do you improve upon such complete kick-assery? I have a bad feeling this will disappoint me.

    A better Christine? I thought Emmy Rossum had a gorgeous voice.

    I feel that if a movie is so above awesomeness there's no words, that any sequal will suck hardcore. I don't like this news.

    POTO isn't a movie, really. It's a musical. And the original voice was Sarah Brightman and the entire musical was originally written for her.

    Indeed, it was, Lys.

    That being said, I still loved Emmy Rossum's voice. It was pure and untamed--much like it was supposed to be in the first ever mention of the Phantom of the Opera...

    ...which brings me to my bit of snobbery: Let's not forget that it was a book before all else! A wonderful, dark, magical book.

    Which brings me to the fact I'm really sick of them romanticising Erik... for fuck's sake, he was supposed to be insane. Only ONE actor I've seen does it right.

    Sequels are rarely as good as the original. I don't have high hopes for this. Why is he doing this? Is he too lazy to come up with something original?

    Bring back Sarah Brightman! I'm probably the only dude who owns a CD of hers. ...that may explain a lot.

    Oh, so he's talking about writing another play?

    And I know the original is a play and who it was for. I just think the movie, and Emmy, were awesome.

    No, it's not a play. It's a musical. There's actually a pretty big difference. He's not making a sequel to the movie or play, he's making a sequel to the musical, which he wrote the original.. which I'm sure will eventually become a movie....*sigh*...

    PoTO is the second most filmed 'movie' behind Dracula. There are versions of it I own dating back to 1947 and 1926. The one Andrew Lloyd Webber did was a musical version of his own style, romantisicing Erik, the Phantom. Later on, MANY years later on, (like 20) a movie was made from Andrew Lloyd Webbers Musical. Even in the actual 'the phaaantom of the opera is there...' the singer was Sarah Brightman, who was his wife at the time of production.

    Now he's making a sequel to his Broadway running Phantom that was yanked off Broadway around the time the movie came out because it got a bit too big for it's street and played a bit too long.

    OK, do I have 'idiot' stamped to my forehead? Just because I am not using the terminology you prefer, does not mean I don't know it's a musical. If I've seen the movie, I know it''s a musical.

    It's not the terminology I 'prefer'... it's the terminology it actually is. What the heck? I was just trying to explain it. Plays are not musicals. That's how it works. I just guessed you didn't realize that they weren't the same. The only similarity is they are on a stage. I was trying to helpful.

    I know it's a musical. I know what Phantom of the Opera is. It was a bit unnecessary to keep correcting me after I realized it was not a motion picture remake he was doing, but instead a Broadway one.

    PoTO is like the only musical I know like the back of my hand. I have a display case dedicated to it ffs...hahahaha... I have my reasons for liking such a popularly-criticized production though.
