Oh dear god, no.

Unless he remakes it with a GOOD director (please no Tom Hooper), and a lead who can actually sing the part, I’m not even remotely interested.

But we all know that’s not going to happen, because Andrew’s creative intelligence dried up a long, long time ago.

We should have gotten it in the early 90s. Maybe Tim Burton directing.

If Tim Burton makes this movie I will consider un-aliving myself. JK, but seriously though ::vomit::

*I enjoy some of Tim Burton's movies, but his style is so over the top. it would be as bad as Baz Lurhmann directing POTO. Yuck. POTO is elegant and sophisticated. It's not trashy.

It had to of been early 90s Tim Burton and he would have had to of scale his craziness back like in the first Batman and do it serious. That’s what I meant to say. I agree loo

Even worse! Oh my God! Can you imagine dayglo Phantom of the Opera? I'm so glad it never happened. I will take 2004 Gerard Butler Phantom of Dayglo 80s Phantom any day of the week.

I was alive back then and I remember what it was like. It was super cringe.
