The film's plot is loosely inspired by three of The Phantom.
The Phantom also stars Treat Williams, Kristy Swanson, Catherine Zeta-Jones, James Remar and Patrick McGoohan. Based on Lee Falk's comic strip The Phantom, the film stars Billy Zane as a seemingly immortal crimefighter and his battle against all forms of evil. The score includes such tunes as "Think of Me," "The Music of the Night," "All I Ask of You," "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," "The Point of No Return" and the title tune. he Phantom is a 1996 American superhero film directed by Simon Wincer. The New York production ? originally starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman ? won six 1988 Tony Awards including one for Best Musical. Harold Prince directed both the London and New York premieres. Filming is to begin next autumn in the United Kingdom.īased on the classic Gaston Leroux novel, The Phantom of the Opera features music by Lloyd Webber, lyrics by Charles Hart and additional lyrics by Richard Stilgoe. "Batman & Robin" helmer Joel Schumacher will direct the feature-film version and Austin Shaw, the managing director of Really Useful Films, is currently in Los Angeles to begin casting the projected $50-$60 million film. Lloyd Webber recently bought the Phantom film rights back from Warner Bros., reports have revealed. Banderas, who has already worked on a Lloyd Webber movie musical, as Che in 1996's "Evita," added about the composer "We have been in contact since the time that I did 'Evita,' talking about "Phantom." I was in London with him several times when Shekhar Kapur was attached to the project. Billy Zane was of course The Phantom in the original 1996 film. (Other names that have been rumored include Hugh Jackman ? set to star on Broadway next season in The Boy From Oz). This is a fan-cast if a new Phantom movie were ever to be made.
"If they need me or they think that I am the person to play that character on the big screen, I'll be there," said Banderas who is among a list of few mentioned to play the haunted character.
