I believe so. The rumors for who would play the part of Eric/Phantom have flown about...it was crazy. For a while I think it was actually being suggested that Michael Jackson play him and I've heard Nicholas Cage, Antonio Banderas, and John Travolta as suggestions. Eek! No! I loved Antonio Banderas as Puss-in-Boots, but Phantom isn't some Latin lover fellow and Michael Jackson?! Shudder. Scary...I want my Mommy!
