Banderas To Star As Phantom

Movies
Antonio Banderas will be haunting the movie version of 'Phantom Of The Opera,' MSNBC reports.

Michael Crawford, who created the role onstage in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, was said to get the part, but London's Express reports it will definitely be Banderas.

"Michael Crawford, he made what actors call a creation, something that was his own, but what happens in the movies is not for an individual to decide," MSNBC quoted Banderas as saying.

"I am not the only actor. If you said it was going to John Travolta, not me, I would shrug and wait for another project. "
