Yet another adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera is in the works, Deadline reports this week, this one coming courtesy of French production company Gaumont (“Narcos”).
Writer Anthony Horowitz is reimagining Gaston Leroux’s classic story.
The site explains, “Deadline understands that the 1910 novel, rather than Andrew Lloyd Webber’s smash-hit musical, will form the backbone of Horowitz’s adaptation.”
The story centers on “a disfigured composer who lives in the depths of the Paris Opera House and falls for singer Christine Daae with tragic consequences.”
