This is based on a Phantom of the Opera big screen adaptation. "Phantom" tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the catacombs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devious methods at his command. Wilson will play the boyfriend of the young singer who becomes the obsession of the phantom.
