MTV Greenlights “Phantom of the Hip Hopera”
Posted by Kim on April 1st, 2009
Man, I don’t know how I feel about this, being a big Phantom fan and all. MTV News is reporting that they’ll finally start filming “The Phantom of the Hip Hopera” which has been in the works for years now. The film is meant as a follow up to their hit “Carmen: The Hip Hopera” that starred Beyonce Knowles. Reps at MTV are saying that not all of the cast members will be rappers, but the tracks will mainly be “hip hop inspired”. I’m also hearing that they will make several changes to the script, including the setting, which will have more of an “8 mile feel” and the falling chandelier will be “more iced out than ever”. Check out the rumored cast listing below:
Rumored Cast List
Fergie ….. Christine
Usher ….. The Phantom
Zac Efron …. Raoul
Mariah Carey ….. Carlotta
Mary J. Blige …. Madame Giry
Outkast ….Andre & Firmin
Jack Black ….. Piagni
