#SCRIPT PHANTOM OF THE OPERA 2004 MOVIE#
The rest of the movie follows their relationship. We learn that Christine received her vocal education from an “angel of music” - that’d be the Phantom. She proceeds to dazzle all involved with her performance and also attracts the attention of Raoul, as he now recognizes her. Giry convinces them to give Christine a shot, and she earns the role. She storms off and leaves the show without a lead for the evening. Giry (Miranda Richardson) - the mother to chorus girl Meg (Jennifer Ellison) and also surrogate parent to the orphaned Christine - they’ll need to placate the Phantom of the Opera (Gerard Butler), the dude behind the “accident”. As related to the new owners by show mistress Mme. The Opera Populaire employs temperamental diva Carlotta Giudicelli (Minnie Driver) as its lead soprano, but she almost gets injured when a mysterious figure drops a scaffold on her. Chorus girl Christine Daae (Emmy Rossum) used to know him and they were childhood sweethearts, though he no longer appears to recognize her. We encounter new owners Richard Firmin (Ciaran Hinds) and Gilles Andre (Simon Callow) along with the opera’s new patron: Raoul, the Vicomte de Chagny (Patrick Wilson). When we see the hoisting of a restored chandelier, its illumination strips away the years and we go back to the same site in 1870.Īt that time the building housed the Opera Populaire, and we meet many folks associated with it. We hear some allusions to a ghost who haunted the joint and caused some problems, all of which culminated in the destruction of a grand chandelier. The film opens in Paris circa 1919, where we see an auction of relics from a decrepit opera house. 2002’s Chicago showed that audiences are willing to go to movie musicals, but Phantom did nothing to continue the genre’s return to prominence. The $60 million production grossed an awfully mediocre $50 million. Despite a fair amount of hype, Joel Schumacher’s take on the musical failed to find much of an audience on the big screen.
Theoretically, this meant that the 2004 screen adaptation of Phantom would prove to be a smash, right? The musical continues to sell tickets without much difficulty and earn the adoration of the masses.
