Now I’ve made 18."įor Webber, by comparison, this is in some ways a film debut. "We wanted to make a film in its own right." Webber and Schumacher began talking about a "Phantom" film back in 1988, when the show was already a phenomenon and Schumacher had scored a gothic hit with "The Lost Boys." Schumacher is glad the project took as long as it did to get off the ground: "When he first asked me to do it, I had only made four films. "We did not want to do a film version of the stage show," Webber says. You know that old phrase, "They don’t make 'em like they used to"? Joel Schumacher has made "Phantom" like they used to, with 110 musicians and roses in the snow and sword fights and God knows what else. The tens of millions of theatregoers who adore Andrew Lloyd Webber’s plush melodies will presumably adore them here, and those who have no use for the show are unlikely to be swayed by the movie.
