After the duo have a moment of understanding, Christine returns the mask to the Phantom and the latter then returns her to the theatre unharmed but orders the managers to make her the lead in Il Muto. The Phantom reacts violently and covers his face with his hand. Once Christine awakes and sees the Phantom, she removes his mask out of curiosity. It is presumed by this point that Christine has been missing.

After the Phantom shows Christine a mannequin of her dressed in a wedding dress he made for her, Christine faints and sleeps in the Phantom's lair. That night, the masked Opera Ghost, known as the 'Phantom', appears before Christine from her dressing room mirror, spiriting her away to his underground lair.

Rossum, Wilson and Driver had singing experience, but Butler had none and was provided with music lessons prior to filming. It was shot entirely at Pinewood Studios, with scenery created with miniatures and computer graphics. The film was announced in 1989, although production did not start until 2002 due to Lloyd Webber's divorce and Schumacher's busy career. Produced and co-written by Lloyd Webber and directed by Joel Schumacher, it stars Gerard Butler in the title role, with Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, Minnie Driver, and Jennifer Ellison in supporting roles. The Phantom of the Opera is a 2004 musical romantic drama film based on Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical of the same name, which in turn is based on the 1910 French novel Le FantГґme de l'OpГ©ra by Gaston Leroux.
