there has been much debate recently about the making of the phantom of the opera movies. Also about the actors that will participate in it. What are your opinions?

Dario Argento's version was released on video not long ago, why does the world need anything more?

I just don't see how a movie can compare at all with the stage musical. It's gonna be tough!

From the ones I've seen, movies just can't duplicate a live performance very well.

Linda1, I agree. A film fails to catch the atmosphere that is created via the stage. If the producers, director or actors fail to duplicate this, then the movie would be considered second rate.
