Of all the classic movie monsters, it seems only the Phantom has yet to be remade.
I would really love to see a faithful adaption of Leroux's story with a truly deformed, skull like Phantom ala Lon Chaney.
I'm just sick to death of the Andrew Lloyd Webber version. It seems to be all that people associate with the Phantom anymore.The film version of it was even worse. Gerard Butler looked like a male model with a rash on one side of his face. Hardly bad enough to have to live in the Paris sewers.
A new version of the Chaney film could be a masterpiece if done right. I think the Phantom needs to be somewhat older...a man in his late forties.
