I really think she was a good Christine for me. I liked Sarah too, but Emmy wins it out. It was just her voice was so angelic and Pure, and her emotions and acting were great and it felt real. just my opinion.
One of my favorite interviews with her! I love how she went into intimate detail on the challenges of this role. You could tell she felt honored to play it. She was so passionate and attached to this character. I thought she did a wonderful portrayal of the iconic character. Plus she's everything I want to be. Bright, friendly, talented & beautiful.
I didn't know there was a sequel to this amazing movie until I read it here. I looked it up immediatly but it is only a filmed musical. I too would absolutely LOVE to see the 2004 cast make a movie sequel to phantom of the opera I did love the musical too, but i'd rather see Gerard Butler as the phantom :)
Empathy is a very imperative concept for acting. Being able to imagine being in someone else's shoes really helps you get into character with the role you're playing! :)
a beautiful movie that reminds me of my grandma and her love for this movie. I can't help but cry towards the end of the film. I get goosebumps during the whole film.
In Leroux's book Erik is in his mid 50's and Christine is in her early 20's and Raoul is 20. Christine had a fixation with her daddy so it's not surprising that Christine would be attracted to an older man.
THANK YOU! someone who realizes is wasn't sarah brightman. Lots of people say and think that sarah brightman was the first Christine she saw, but that wasn't the case; jackie just loved sarah brightman because she was the first Christine. (personally, I prefer Emmy Rossum and sierra Boggess) :)
@lulucanigri Actually she was 16 when she auditioned & was cast in the film. She was 17 during the filming of the production. She was 18 when this interview occured. Now she'll turn 24 this September. So that would make Gerry 34 during the film. He'll turn 41 in November. Hope that helps with the math. :)
my family has always compared my relationship i had with my ex who was older than me to the phantom and Christine, they must never know of this video it revels her age
Jackie Evancho was 7 years old when she watched Emmy Rossum in POTO. and from that time on she was determined she was going to be a singer. Now at 13 she is a star in her own right. All because she was so influenced by Emmy's performance.
Well remember Broadway actors are different from movie actors they always over act to project to the audience cause thats how you act in the theater. My favorite Christine is from the movie. But the shows is ten times better cause its the original nothing can beat that. You know Phantom returning to Broadway without Ramin they casted a black singer which is so cool and groundbreaking for this show. I also like Love Never Dies the sequel to Phantom. Gerard's phantom always gave me the creeps especially when she tears off his mask that is so no nasty and gruesome and I wish they had cut that out and its part of the story I know but still it took me two or three times of watching it to get used to looking at I. Ramin was not nearly as gruesome looking or creepy. But do not have favorite. Anyways I like both versions and I hope to it on stage one day its favorite musical next to the The Music Man and Annie.
Well when they drop threw the floor the lighting was bad but when she first pulls off the mask the lighting is good and you can his bad eye very well it just freaked me out the first couple of watches but I think they want you to be freaked out for it to be affective. But I'm torn between which one I like better the stage show or the film each version is good the film is more realistic but the stage show was filmed live. So the live aspect is good cause it sounds better and its the original its the Broadway show with the current cast members who do the show. So im torn between the two and then there is Love Never Dies which is the sequel but it features yet different cast.
Wow, I didn't know she was 16 when she did Phantom of the Opera.
Still can't believe that she was 16 years old when she started the role, gahhhhh, she is so cool yet I thought she was 26 or something in the movie.
She even SPEAKS like a singer. She speaks with incredible diction and emphasis on all of the right things. She sounds like my voice teacher haha :)
she was soooo mature for her age!
Emmy should win an Emmy award.
Emmy Rossum is such an intelligent and mature actress with so much talent.
She is 16?!? NO WAY
Was*
+Heather s YEAH IKR OMG she was 16 when started filming and she turned 18 on the set. Like whaaaat.
She's such a sweetheart and so mature for her age!!
Best Christine ever. And she got to kiss Gerard butler?! LUCKIEST GIRL ALIVE.
I really think she was a good Christine for me. I liked Sarah too, but Emmy wins it out. It was just her voice was so angelic and Pure, and her emotions and acting were great and it felt real. just my opinion.
I don't understand why my brother doesn't like this movie....poor soul
16!!! oh my gosh... wow

The most beautiful girl I've ever seen on earth
I would love to see the 2004 cast do Love Never Dies the sequel to Phantom Of The Opera. Has anyone suggested it to Andew Lloyd Webber ???
Actually, it was made in 2010 and is already a movie. Just look it up on Amazon.
I didn't know there was a sequel to this amazing movie until I read it here. I looked it up immediatly but it is only a filmed musical.

Marieke Beks, It is filmed on a stage but when you're watching it, that's not what it feels like.

a beautiful movie that reminds me of my grandma and her love for this movie. I can't help but cry towards the end of the film. I get goosebumps during the whole film.
Same Same 😅
I had goosebumps when i heard her sing Think of Me....
She sings Beautifully....
She is incredibly mature for a 17 year old
Ariana Grande will NEVER compare to this beautiful amazing talented goddess.
She was 16 when she sang the songs, 17 when she filmed.. omg.
When I was 3 I would sing the songs over and over again love this movie
In Leroux's book Erik is in his mid 50's and Christine is in her early 20's and Raoul is 20. Christine had a fixation with her daddy so it's not surprising that Christine would be attracted to an older man.
I love the phantom of the opera I saw it when I was 6 and I loved it
Nope, according to Gaston Leroux's novel, Christine was only 16 years old and the Phantom was almost 40
I absolutely love her!!! One of my favorite actresses and definitely a role model to me... she's the one who inspired me to start acting.
she's now 26, when she was in Phantom, she was 17
THANK YOU! someone who realizes is wasn't sarah brightman. Lots of people say and think that sarah brightman was the first Christine she saw, but that wasn't the case; jackie just loved sarah brightman because she was the first Christine. (personally, I prefer Emmy Rossum and sierra Boggess) :)
16? Damn girl, you're amazing!
she looks soo much older in the movie...how does a 17 year old get to make out with gerard butler?!
I would almost certainly, melt, in the presence of Emmy Rossum. Certainly.
OMG LUCKY GIRL, so talented, and kissed GERARD oh
It's neat she talked about the Royal Albert Hall, where Phantom 25th was shot. :)
@lulucanigri Actually she was 16 when she auditioned & was cast in the film. She was 17 during the filming of the production. She was 18 when this interview occured.

emmy rossum can really act and sing!
my family has always compared my relationship i had with my ex who was older than me to the phantom and Christine, they must never know of this video it revels her age
She is incredibly mature.
no she auditioned when she was 16 and filmed the movie 17/18
I love this girl.

She's so F-ing lucky!!! *Sobs*
When Phantom film version first came out in 2004 I thought she was 27 but lol she was only 17!
I was a year old when I saw this movie and I still love it P.S I'm 9 years old
I though she was like 23 or something but 17!!! Dang
omg if I was 17 and got to make out with Gerard Butler I would freak out so damn much!
she was 17 and he was 34... huh.
Well as of June 2013, she is 26!
Has Emmy Rossum done any more musical roles on stage or in film ???
Wow I can't believe she was only 17 in the movie I thought she was at least twenty some
Had the same omg.
I'm sixteen and i'm nowhere near as mature as she was!
they should remake this, no offense to this cast, but if they live sing it and be real, it could be magical.
They did film the stage show.
Watch The Phantom of the Opera at Royal Albert Hall watch it on Netflix and DVD its the live stage show. Just what your wanting.
I hope you like it.

Ariana Grande is not delicate looking. She looks average. Emmy is classy and gorgeous.
she is 16????? OMG thought she was older
@xxMultiActionxx why would you have thought she was dead?
Ha, ha, ha.
She looks like Ariana Grande in here.
I love her but I honestly don't think she was a good Christine! Sorry😁
