The Phantom of the Opera

Based On the book by Gaston Leroux

Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, or simply The Phantom of the Opera, is a 2004 musical romantic drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same name, itself an adaptation of Gaston Leroux's novel, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra. Produced and co-written by Lloyd Webber and directed by Joel Schumacher, the film stars Gerard Butler as the titular character, with Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver, Simon Callow, Ciarán Hinds, Victor McGuire and Jennifer Ellison in supporting roles. The film was announced in 1989, although production did not start until 2002 due to Lloyd Webber's divorce and Schumacher's busy career. It was shot entirely at Pinewood Studios, with scenery created with miniatures and computer graphics.
