I think it's better that way. At least it will sound good. If anything. I'm way too tired to even read the rest of the thread so that is my two cents.

Jennifer Ellison...do we know her from anywhere...I looked at jenniferellison.com ...is that the same person?

I'd just like to add a couple of thoughts, if I may, as a fan of Phantom (the story itself, not just the ALW musical). I'm not a "freaky phan" nor a "MC worshiper" and I am doing what I can to keep an open mind about this film. I don't have any real problems with the casting and I've got my fingers crossed that Sheekala is right in saying the cast has been chosen based, at least partially, on their ability to handle what the role requires.

As for this dubbing info, from what I understand, it was posted on a message board by someone claiming to have a source. I'm pretty sure we all know by now that means squat. I'm also a little sick of the generalizations. Not all fans of Phantom are insane and one "Phan" cannot speak for all those who enjoy the musical/novel/etc. Having an open mind can be lots of fun. Give it a go sometime.

Sheekala - have you actually seen the costume designs????!

Wow. Can't please everyone.

I was speaking in general terms, MlleDaae. No need to apologize.

Sheekala, it makes sense that they wouldn't want a Xerox copy of the OLC. I heard a while back that they were actually told not to see the musical - as if there's much of a chance they haven't already! I'm so hoping Gerard works out. From what I've read, he's got the right attitude toward the character (as far as I'm concerned) and if his voice works, I'll be content.
I'm not holding out for miracles - I'll see the film no matter what - but they do seem to heading in the right direction.

When did Alan Cumming drop out?

I checked out the actress who is playing Christine, Emmy Rossum, IMDB says she is 16, is that true? That would be strange to see her in a love triangle with two men in their 30's. It would be better if she was 18 playing 16, or maybe the IMDB got it wrong.

They also have Alan Cumming still signed on, any news, as someone said previously he was no longer with the movie.

This is kind of a joke at this point. I mean, we're all here for discussions... so discuss. People are firm in their beliefs. If there's one thing I learned, it's not to take it personally. MlleDaae, calm down a bit. You have your opinions too.
I'm done with that. As for the ages, I'm 26 but look 19. Not everyone looks their age. I'm sure the creative people thought of all this already. The gal probably looks older than she is. And maybe the dude looks younger than HE is... And this does take place in the far past, so really... the whole premarital sex, the father figure thing... it works - - it's very Euro!!
lol...

Oh and thank you M- for trying to say something nice about Michael's fans, but we have learned that it does no good to try to defend ourselves because it only makes those that seem to despise us so much get even nastier. I probably made it worse with what I said, but I just get so tired of it. I resent the crack about the Bash as well, but I'm already off topic.

It all started on a newsletter put out by Phantom Phans. Not the most reliable source.
