Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera, or simply The Phantom of the Opera, is a 2004 musical romantic drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical of the same name, which in turn is based on Gaston Leroux's novel, Le Fantôme de l'Opéra. Produced and co-written by Lloyd Webber and directed by Joel Schumacher, the film stars Gerard Butler as the titular character, with Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver, Simon Callow, Ciarán Hinds, Victor McGuire and Jennifer Ellison in supporting roles. The film was announced in 1989, although production did not start until 2002 due to Lloyd Webber's divorce and Schumacher's busy career. It was shot entirely at Pinewood Studios, with scenery created with miniatures and computer graphics. Rossum, Wilson and Driver had singing experience, but Butler had none and was provided with music lessons prior to filming. Despite its initial reception, the film received several awards and a trio of Oscar nominations, as well as a positive reception from the audience. Hugh Jackman was among those considered for the role of Phantom, but he faced scheduling conflicts with Van Helsing. Director Joel Schumacher had been impressed with Gerard Butler's performance in Dracula 2000. Prior to his audition, Butler had no professional singing experience and had only taken four voice lessons before singing "The Music of the Night" for Lloyd Webber. Ramin Karimloo, who later played the Phantom as well as Raoul on London's West End, briefly appears as the portrait of Gustave Daaé, Christine's father. Principal photography lasted from 15 September 2003 to 15 January 2004. The film was shot entirely using eight sound stages at Pinewood Studios, where, on the Pinewood backlot, the bottom half exterior of the opera house was constructed. The top half was implemented using a combination of computer-generated imagery and a scale model created by Cinesite. The surrounding skyline seen during the "All I Ask of You" sequence was entirely composed of matte paintings. Cinesite additionally created a miniature version of the auditorium's chandelier used for its fall, since a life-size model was too big for the actual set. Production designer Anthony D. G. Pratt was influenced by French architect Charles Garnier, designer of the original Paris opera house, as well as Edgar Degas, John Singer Sargent, Gustave Caillebotte, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. Schumacher was inspired by Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast (1946) and featured a hallway lined with candelabra-holding arms. The cemetery was based on the Père Lachaise and Montparnasse. Costume designer Alexandra Byrne used a limited black, white, gold and silver color palette for the "Masquerade" sequence in spite of the lyrics indicating that it is a multicolored affair in which mauve, puce, green and yellow are some of the colors worn by attendees. The Phantom of the Opera was released in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2004 and the United States on 22 December 2004. The Phantom of the Opera is the soundtrack of the 2004 film which is based on the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical. There were two versions released, the standard 14-track release and a two-disc deluxe edition. In addition to the listed tracks, versions of "The Phantom of the Opera", remixed by Junior Vasquez, were made available to iTunes customers who purchased the expanded edition. In June 2025, Lloyd Webber revealed that a remake of the film is in the early stages of development. While not revealing potential directors or actors, he suggested that he would like to see "somebody who is in their early 40s" play the Phantom in the new film.
