He believes she should be the lead singer at the opera house instead of Carlotta (Minnie Driver). Christine is very talented, and the Phantom has taken a fancy to her. Schumacher is a veteran director known for such films as the teen horror "The Lost Boys," the racial-driven courtroom drama "A Time to Kill," and the incomparably campy "Batman and Robin." This film revolves around a young singer named Christine Daaé (Emmy Rossum), who is taken under the wing of and trained by a disfigured musical genius who lives in the catacombs under a Parisian opera house and haunts the building as a 'Phantom' (Gerard Butler).
Just shy of a century after the original publication and 18 years after Webber adapted it to a musical, writer/director Joel Schumacher brings that story to the silver screen.
That adaptation has helped keep the story alive. Gaston Leroux's novel has been adapted and reimagined countless times, but none caught the imagination of the public quite like Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. "The Phantom of the Opera" is a story that dates back to the first decade of the 20th century.
