Gerard Butler's first days of filming were five weeks into production, where he and Emmy Rossum did "Past the Point of No Return" which took three days to film. Gerard Butler was not the only actor to go through hours of prosthetics: for the look of an older Raoul, Patrick Wilson also went through hours of makeup to look much older than he was for the scenes with Raoul as an old man. Prior to the making of the film, Gerard Butler never had a proper singing lesson, so when he was recording "Music of the Night" he said "it was quite difficult, considering how long you have to hold the ending note" Neither Gerard Butler nor Emmy Rossum had seen the musical prior to receiving their roles. The Phantom's white half-mask prop that Gerard Butler wore for the film sold for £6,450 on eBay. Cast members would often tug on it as a joke between takes. To add to his deformity, Gerard Butler had a string tied just below his eye to cause it to appear more deformed when pulled down. This is not part of the show, but is a nod to the original book, where the Phantom uses a horse named Cesar to transport Christine part of the way. When the Phantom is taking Christine to his lair, he places her on a black horse for a while. This is not surprising when one considers the fact that Andrew Lloyd Webber is one of the most important collectors of artwork from this period, and would be familiar with the portrait in question.Ĭharlotte Church, Anne Hathaway and Kate Winslet were considered for the role of Christine Daaé.

This includes the white diaphanous dress with full, billowing skirt, as well as the diamond star-bursts in her hair and earrings. In Christine's debut performance as the star of the Opera House, she wears a costume that is an exact replica of the outfit Empress Elizabeth (aka "Sisi") of Austria wears in her most famous portrait. The music is played by a 105-piece orchestra.

The instruction to "Keep your hand at the level of your eyes" is another reference from the book, in which the Phantom was adept at disposing of victims with the "Punjab lasso." Keeping one's hand at the level of one's eyes kept the Punjab lasso away from the victim's neck and was the only defense.

However, Driver did contribute the film's end title song, "Learn To Be Lonely," written specifically for the film by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Most of the actors have a background in musicals or opera, but Driver (a skilled singer) had no experience in opera and was dubbed by Margaret Preece, a singing teacher from Solihull, UK. Joel Schumacher wanted realism, so they destroyed the theatre for the scene.Īll of the principal actors sang in the film except for Minnie Driver. Emmy Rossum had to ice her lips between takes to prevent them from swelling. The sweeping camera angles during "All I Ask of You" made it necessary to shoot multiple takes of the kiss between Emmy Rossum and Patrick Wilson. In the transition where Christine is contemplating and moving towards engaging the coach to take her to her father's grave, the melody playing is "Beneath a Moonless Sky," a duet between Christine and the Phantom from Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to Phantom entitled "Love Never Dies." There was also a third chandelier made, that was equipped with electricity and lighting for the opening scene. It had a stunt double for riskier scenes. The chandelier weighed 2.2 tons, cost $1.3 million, and was provided by Swarovski. At the time of shooting, Emmy was 18, Patrick Wilson (Rauol) was 30, and Gerard Butler (The Phantom) was 34.

Her father in the movie version, and both Raoul and the Phantom on the stage. In playing Christine's father in this movie, Ramin Karimloo becomes the first actor to have played all 3 of Christine's loves.

This was done by her being made up like a doll with waxy makeup on, and her standing very, very still.Īt the end of the Masquerade scene, Raoul briefly enters a circular chamber full of mirrors. She suggested to stand in as the mannequin instead. The production produced a mask of her face to use on the mannequin but when they put in the fake eyes it didn't look like her. The doll in the Phantom's lair that is supposed to resemble Emmy Rossum is not actually a wax mold. This effect was done in one take and didn't work again after that. The lit candelabras that rise from the water were not done with special effects or CGI lights: the special wicks ignited when they reached the air.
