The classic Gaston Leroux novel The Phantom of the Opera has been adapted countless times over the years, but it appears another film version is on the way, this time from France.

Alexandre Castagnetti, known for Stand by Love, Tamara and A New Girl In Paris, is directing the adaptation said to be “aimed at a young adult audience and taking its cue from the Twilight franchise“, whatever that means. He co-wrote the screenplay with Coco Before Chanel writer Camille Fontaine.

Deva Cassel of The Leopard, Julien De Saint Jean from last year’s The Count of Monte Cristo, and Heartbreaker‘s Romain Duris are attached to star.

Cassel will star as 18-year-old Anastasia, who is newly arrived in Paris and isfull of hopes and dreams as she takes up a position as a ballet dancer at the opera house. Ambitious artistic director, James Figueras (Duris), is reviving Orpheus, the mythic opera by Ernest Dupré, inspired by the Greek mythological figure of Orpheus and his journey into the underworld in search of his dead wife Euridice. One night, Anastasia meets the opera house’s mythical phantom (Saint Jean) and they embark on an impossible love story. Meanwhile the prima ballerina, meant for the role of Euridice, barely escapes death and Anastasia lands the star role.

Filming is due to begin this summer at the Palais Garnier opera house. This Phantom of the Opera is being described as a modern re-reading that will feature fantasy, period, and thriller elements.
