All I can say is... CREEPY.

And is that Christine-bot at the end? It looks like it came out of an ad for the next Saw movie.

I feel like Phantom of the Opera and Ragtime had an ugly illegitimate child...

^ Replace 'Ragtime' with 'Christine Daae' and you've got yourself the subplot of the show.


Right now, curiosity and Ramin are the only reasons for me to see Electric Karimloo. Updated On: 9/10/09 at 03:28 PM

Schmerg, that description is perfect.

I'm still trying to be open minded.

Schmerg, that's perfect!

And I kinda dig it, too. I'm also trying to keep an open mind. At least I like the music used in the trailer. A creepy ragtime waltz.

I'm trying to keep an open mind too, but the clowns and Christine doll face are really off-putting for me.

I really do like the music though, if it is indeed from the show; it reminds me of Masquerade, so there's a good chance ALW wrote it.

Effective teaser in that it's gotten my attention...but I guess time will tell if the end result will be worth it.

Count me in the open minded category as well.

It seems circus/freakshows are all the rage this Fall, what with this, the movie Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant and the carnival themed chapter of the tv show Heroes all coming out practically at the same time.

Sorta makes me yearn for a Barnum revival, like...right now.

Don't forget Britney's Circus Tour!!

^ Don't give Andy any casting ideas!!



Oh, and I listened to the music again. It sounds like the lovechild of Masquerade and the Carousel Waltz (from R&H's Carousel), so it's by ALW.

Wow... Um... Speechless... and not in a good way

W E I R D

I want to like it... I'm just not sure I do... or will... But time will tell and an open mind is a terrible thing to waste... er... yeah... I think you all know what I mean

Oh, and Schmerg... YOU rock!!!

It looks like one of those fake trailers they put up on YouTube.

So the announcement on on October 8th will be of "global importance". Does that imply that multi-city companies are happening?

I'm gonna try to keep an open mind. I mean, at least Andrew Lloyd Webber is handling everything, and "Phantom" was his baby, so I don't think he would make a sequel, knowing that it wouldn't live up to Phantom's reputation. I'm sure the songs will be lovely, and those Erik/Christine fans might get what they wanted. The only thing that worries me...What if Hollywood gets their clutches on it? AHHHHHHHHH! A sequel to the POTO film! Run and hide! Armageddon is upon us!

Lloyd Webber is completely responsible for the POTO movie as well.

This honestly looks like a musical prequel to 'IT' by Steven King.

"Lloyd Webber is completely responsible for the POTO movie as well."


Seriously. He picked Gerard "I-can't-sing-but-I-look-really-sexy-in-a-half-mask" Butler himself.

Didn't he also pick Emily "I get lost on the screen I'm so bland" Rossum? What a hot mess of a movie.

"This honestly looks like a musical prequel to 'IT' by Steven King."

YES! My thoughts exactly *shivers*
I am curious to hear the score... but this whole idea doesn't exactly make me want to drop $120 to see it.

I got a headache from all of the choppy shots in the first half and was just plain confused during the second half.
