Description Just a little something that I decided to make for as a thank you.

I had posted a comment on one of his pieces with an unofficial request for a possible title picture with Christine, Raoul and Daroga in the front and Eriks' eyes staring menacingly in the background. I was really surprised and ecstatic when he actually decided to do it and post it here. So, I decided to pay him right back by making him a collage with a similar concept. And here it is. So thanks, good sir!

This is the picture he made: Gaston Leroux's The Phantom Of The Opera
Go check out the rest of his gallery, it is fabulous! 

Christine and Raoul are Clemence Poesy and Ken Duken from War And Peace. I saw someone use clips from that mini-series in their own fan made trailer for POTO and I thought they were both perfect.

The Persian is Oded Fehr. Ever since I saw him in The Mummy, I knew he would make the perfect Daroga.

The eyes of Erik belong to Richard Armitage. I'm aware that Erik has amber/gold eyes (presumably), not blue. But I saw this picture if Richard while searching and I just had to use it. Now that I think about it, Richard Armitage would make a pretty good Erik. He's the right height, has a great voice and he's a fantastic actor. I'm sure if he's willing to wear the make-up, he could pull it off. Other actor choices would be Doug Jones, Ron Perlman, Hugo Weaving or Tom Hiddleston.

I OWN NOTHING. This was made on Photovisi.com.

Well heck, with that casting, (from what i see of your Daroga) I'd be hard pressed deciding who's more compelling: Eric or his Persian friend.

Raoul is seriously outclassed there.

In the novel, both Erik and Daroga are very complex and compelling characters. Especially if you read Susan Kay's Phantom novel which looks deep into their unusual history together. So, that was what I was going for.

Ken Duken is actually not part of my dream cast. I envision Bradley James as Raoul.

Here he is (with facial hair!): www.actors-pictures.com/pictur…

However, I don't have Photoshop (yet) so I created this on Photovisi.com and I was only able to use three photos and a background since that website has a limit of how many you can use. So, I had to find a picture of Christine and Raoul together and this was the only one I could find that worked. You have to admit though, he certainly looks the part. Other than that, I know nothing about him.

but still, Daroga and Erik are more compelling
