Emmy Rossum has worked with both of her favorite actors Sean Penn in "Mystic River" and Miranda Richardson in "Phantom of the Opera." She auditioned for the role of Sue Storm in Fantastic Four (2015) before Kate Mara was cast.

Rossum combined her vocal and acting talents to become a star at 18 in the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera. There have been much worse instances of miscasting in movie musicals, but the choice of these two was flawed on so many levels.
