Do you think Gerald Butler will be good at the Phantom?

So, ive been hearing a lot about the new Phantom... movie coming out. I think Patrick Wilson will do great as the Raoul. Now the question is is Gerald Butler any good and will he be a good Phantom. Have you ever heard of his voice? cause i havent. Maybe he will be good. Maybe.... I still think Hugh Jackman would have been good but we are bound to find out. let me know what you think.

I think Hugh would have been better, but I think Gerald will do the part justice...at least I hope so. I'm looking forward to this movie. ALW just better hope that the whole musical movie phase doesn't die out by the time his movie comes out.

From what I'm hearing about Gerard is that hes not a bad singer. He used to have a band. But since I've actually heard Hugh Jackman's voice, he might be better as the Phantom.

It's hard to say at this point. As has been pointed out, his only prior music experience has been some kind of rock band. But for all we know, Butler will surprise us all.

Yes, Jackman would have been excellent, but I, for one, certainly can't blame Hugh for chosing Broadway over this film.

That's an understatement--for anyone.

Ok, I won't say what I really think. I'll be good.

They could cast anyone they want in any of the roles. As long as that consummate boob Joel Schumacher is directing, the film of Phantom of the Opera will be a tasteless atrocity, along the lines of his laughable Batman movies. Get ready for a fiasco of Showgirls proportions, folks, because it won't be anything else.
