Cool interview of the cast of The Phantom of the Opera. You can download this video and many more at www.gbnetvideo.net (NO VIOLATION INTENDED! I DO NOT KNOW, OWN, OR EVEN MET ANY OF THE PEOPLE ON THE VIEW, THE MOVIE OR THE NETWORK)
When Mr. Webber made this musical into a movie, he wanted a rock star voice for Erik, and Gerry just so happened to have been in a rock band in his youth. I won't deny he has got an AWESOME VOICE!!! I've seen the movie countless times and ADORED IT every time! I think 'The Phantom of the Opera' is THE BEST LOVE TRIANGLE STORY EVER!!! I'd personally rate it 100,000 stars.
Haha, I think she did. She was saying in another interview that she and Gerard would go see concerts together and that she would cook food for him. I mean - who wouldn't have a crush? ;D
That's the problem with the movie. They turned the Phantom into some tragic Harlequin Romance antihero whose mask seems to be more of a fashion accessory than something to hide his hideousness. When he's finally unmasked at the end, he just looks like he has a bad sunburn or a chemical peel. But he's very good-looking and oozes sex appeal. The Phantom is supposed to be grotesque and frightening. He's the antagonist, not the hero. Ugh! The film was a mess!
I was browsing youtube and came across this. What a hoot! I had the pleasure of working and studying with Patrick for a summer in '92. We were doing Shakespeare in France, Patrick was Hamlet and he was incredible. Everyone knew he was going to be famous someday. He is the nicest and most humble person I have ever met. the way he comes off in this interview is the way he is in real life. I'm sorry I lost touch with him over the years.
+madilovezyooh I meant sure of herself or confident in herself, not self-absorbed. She was only 18 and is sitting with a much older cast, but she comes across as very confident and able to hold her own, which stood out to me.
at 1:17 OMG i love Gerry's sneer nod *heart beats faster* put the mask on that man when he did that and my insides will melt like butter *shudders with fear and intoxication* *holy music*
Phantom of the opera where is the single most best movie in 2004 if you were singing ability and for the last year I cannot give enough of your singing ability of Phantom of the opera specially as Christine and the Phantom of the opera was wonderful as well
I'm pretty sad he didn't even have a bit part in Les Mis. Now there's two major blockbusters made of his two most famous roles, and he got to be a picture in one and didn't appear in the other. Thank God for my 25th anniversary DVDs.
Yeah Patrick went to Carnegie Mellon and had just finished his freshman year when we did that summer Shakespeare in Avignon group. He was still a kid then, but even so, his stage presence was so powerful it was scary! He hadn't found his singing voice yet and in those days he was still a baritone. At some point in the next year it all click for him and he found his upper register. In those days we used to joke about how much he looked like Paul Newman in "Cool Hand Luke".
I can't remember, because it's been so long since I read the book. But I always assumed she was Italian, from the name and the sound of her voice. I can understand why you'd get confused, since it is set in Paris and it's been hard for me to distinguish separate accents before as well. But La Carlotta just screams "ITALIAN" to me in every nuance of her character. (I don't mean that in an offensive way at all; I'M Italian, so I know, ha ha.)
Oh how cool! He does seem like such a gentleman in contrast to the more (dare I say it) "overly extroverted" (although certainly not in this interview - which is suprising and refreshing) Gerard Butler. That sounds like it must have been a blast to have performed Shakespeare with Patrick. I recently found out that my cousin Jordan is attending the same college that he graduated from and every once in a while comes to give speeches there. But he never met him, as my cousin is a jazz musician.
Ramin Karimloo was in the movie, as Christine's father, Gustave Daae. Why oh WHY did they not get him for the Phantom? Or even as Raoul! His singing is ethereal
It bothers me that they direct so much towards Emmy when talking about the overall movie instead of all of them. I realize she is talented vocally but still.
Oh I love them all. Emmy is gorgeous, and while she may Not have the best voice she still has a lovley one and she in only young any way she was a cute Christine. Patrick was funny in the movie with is wig, and he has a beautiful voice, he aces every note !! Gerry is cool I Love his accent I don't know If the role of the phantom really suited him but he did do a good job and I really like him :) as for minnie, she is just plain hilarious. Her accent and her stories ! Oh My god I love her !! :D
23smell I love Patrick, but I hate Raoul. He only noticed Christine when she became famous while the Phantom always saw potential in her. Anyways Patrick did an amazing job in the Conjuring 2
Lol the look on his face when she said "you aren't familiar faces, but you will be after this film"...also counting the other small side jabs...damn....
And Patrick was giving lectures about musical theater and, according to my cousin, classical music. But nevertheless, he is said to be like you mentioned - humble, down to earth, funny, unpretentious, quiet, and nice. (My type of guy :D)
In the end Barbara re-introduces the actors and their characters. She says "Gerry who you just saw as the phantom." Which clip did they show him as the phantom? They cut it out lol.
Emmy Rossum reminds me of the Cinderella mice u know? the ones that sing " we can do it we can do it we can help cinderelli" sth like that. When she sings she reminds me of a little mice of the Cinderella stories hahahaha
