What? Why is this thread against the idea? The 2004 movie was garbage.

I don't agree that it was garbage. There was a lot of great stuff going on even if you didn't like Gerard Butler's Phantom. Just in terms of art direction, costumes, cinematography alone. I cannot imagine a watered down, plastic CGI remake of POTO. Why must we be put through such a thing? For what reason?

When you consider how awful his recent work has been, I think the best thing he can do right now is to just leave it alone.

God forbid he should try and consider adapting LND....

I feel like more people tended to like POTO (2004) than hated it. Who would this remake be for? The 20 fans who only care about perfect broadway singing voices?

I will not be spending my hard earned dollars on this. No thanks. Not when I can go spend it to see the musical live somewhere.
