...I'm talking about filming the novel by Gaston Leroux, the one that started it all. A terrific, melodramatic romance, an insane, deformed genius, a young singer, an obsession and a labyrinthine Opera House.
Most of the films and telemovies made about the Phantom so far have been pretty good, but none of them have been true to the book.
What's your favorite?

It would be very interesting to see an accurate film version of the novel, but unfortunately it cannot be done. Purely due to time constraints. Even though we would love to see it, not many people could sit in a cinema for 5 or 6 hours. With any film adaptation of a novel, the story must be trimmed to fit into a comfortable time frame, or the nobody would watch it and the film would be a very expensive failure.
Take Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings for example, there was so much left out, but the core of the story was still there which is what matters in film.
I hope that this has been helpful

in the experience that your a typical teenaged female, then sure. you will savour it. while you're already a excessive fan of the musical and the unique novel (or any of the different phantom movies - i think you're asking relating to the 2004 action picture with Gerard Butler and Emmy Rossum), then you definately in all probability won't savour it. lots of the older "phans" agree that this version incredibly sexed it up and made the Phantom HAWT, which fairly ruins the story. nevertheless, a competent variety of youthful followers thought it became spectacular, so it is worth a viewing.

My favorite is the 2004 Andrew Lloyd Webber film. I love that the phantom didn't have a classical voice, and Chrisitine didn't sound like she had cotton in her mouth.
It's one of my favorite movie soundtracks.
