Re: Your least favorite casting decisions!

[(Anonymous)]

I will never not be angry about Gerard Butler being cast as the Phantom of the Opera. I'm not a big fan of Ramin Karimloo either, but the movie would probably have been a lot more tolerable if Butler had Karimloo's non-speaking cameo role as Christine's father, and Patrick Wilson and Karimloo could have tossed a coin to decide who played Raoul and who played the Phantom. Someone who actually sounded like a believable up-and-coming opera star for Christine would have been nice too. Basically the entire cast was pretty terrible except Wilson, voice-wise. Minnie Driver doesn't count, since she was dubbed. I wish they'd dubbed everyone if they were gonna go that route, or just cast people who could actually sing. I can't really comment on the acting-- they were being directed by Joel Schumacher, so for all I know they're all fantastic actors when they don't have a crap director.

Every time I think of that movie I just imagine his character from 300 singing. Fucking hilarious.

All of this. I remember when the movie first came out my first and I were so disappointed. The next year Halloween I met a guy wearing a Phantom costume and we instantly bonded over how terribly shitting the casting of the movie was. Like complete strangers, instantly spending the next 50 minutes of their lives together just talking about one of the worst castings of all time.

So glad they finally did the 25th Anniversary DVD version and decided to stage the whole thing vs doing just a concert like Les Mis. Ramin's not my most favorite Phantom ever, but I've definitely warmed to him and damn. At least he can sing!
