9. Gerard Butler and Love Never Dying
After the worldwide popularity of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, a film version was inevitable. But the sequel? That's another story entirely. Today we'll get into what the casting of Gerard Butler and the collaboration of Joel Schumacher meant for the movie, and how Lloyd Webber entered into a...

8. Robert Englund, Julian Sands, and Genre
In the 1980s and 90s, horror was big money, so perhaps it was inevitable that multiple adaptations would crop up to take advantage of the trend. But the Dwight Little and Dario Argento Phantoms, played by Robert Englund and Julian Sands respectively, took the character in two new, and very...
