Worst thread ever.

Sounds like inspired casting...after all she has been living the role for the last 10 years or so. It could be a catharsis of some sort for her.

I'd love to see that! Too bad is just a rumor...

Who is Lorreta Swit? If I don't know her, I doubt she is a big box office draw.

^Yes, and the Phantom movie pretty much fizzled, compared to expectations.

If they make a movie, I seriously hope they get a real lyricist to make the lyrics less embarrassingly amateurish. The music is beautiful, but as is, the show turned into a movie would only invite and deserve all of the criticism it will inevitably receive as a pointless remake of a nearly perfect film.

Contrary to something said above, I think you have to provide reference of some sort to make changes on IMDB, unless some people (paying possibly) have a different facility.

But Liza Minelli would surely be a train wreck. I would really like to see the film made actually, and made well, but "IF" it ever happens, it won't be under ALW's auspices. He doesn't have the rights. Paramount do. And casting is therefore very likely to be entirely box office determined at the expense of credibility and integrity. I wouldn't put it past them to go with Liza Minelli actually, if they thought she would put bums on seats. The trouble is that the musical isn't generally well known enough on it's own account.

To be fair, pretty much every problem in the movie of Phantom can be traced back to one man, Joel Schumacher, or as he was called by a bunch of sci-fi/comic geeks in a Robot Chicken sketch, History's Greatest Monster.

And I was the one who brought up Lucille 2. I can not imagine that once that movie gets off the ground that she will not be making another attempt at having that forbidden love with Buster, or at least I certainly hope not.

If the film were made today, methinks they would cast Meryl Streep as she is probably the biggest box office draw of females in her age range. Plus advertising her in a musical not far off the heels of Mamma Mia seems a good business venture.

There is a Citizen Kane movie musical?

Saw Liza in concert last night.

This is the same site that said for the past 5+ years that SB was coming with Glenn Close and Ian McGregor. Here we are all of these years later.....and, nothing's happened.

It's like that Cher rumor that pops up every few years, for the past 10+, that says she's going to do "Mame" for tv.

So, there you go.
