Joel Schumacher’s The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is an adaptation of the 1986 musical adaptation of the original novel by Gaston Leroux – Le Fantôme de l’ Opéra. The movie features Gerard Butler as the lead actor alongside Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver, Simon Callow, Ciarán Hinds, Victor McGuire, and Jennifer Ellison in minor roles.

The film tells the story of Christine Daaée (Rossum), a young soprano who becomes the obsession of a disfigured musical genius known only as the Phantom (Butler) and who lives beneath the Paris Opéra House.
