The Phantom of the Opera: Alex Bailey

From his leather mask to his elaborate hideaway beneath the opera house, Gerard Butler's Phantom is theatrical to the core. ''He lived in the opera all his life, so everything in his lair would be stolen sets,'' Schumacher says. Including, of course, his Dracula-collared wool cloak. The mask, however, would have been the villain's own creation. ''He's a genius, he's an artist,'' jokes Schumacher. ''He can do anything!''
