1. I was wondering how they could make Spiderman into a musical. I guess if A Clockwork Orange can, though, anything's possible.

  5. I hope this isn't true, i thought U2 were Batman fans. Instead they should write a song/instrumental for the new Batman films.

    The next one won't be for at least 2-3 years though. This is scheduled for this year or next at the latest.

    Let's just hear it first. Before we make any judgments.

    Agree, probably be quite tongue in cheek though.

    So, some blogger, who's friends with some guy named Glen, who's working on the Julie Taymor–helmed, U2-scored Spider-Man musical, got Glen to give her a sneak preview of the show. Like you, she was skeptical. No more — now she's making Tony predictions. Said blogger posted about it on her LiveJournal, but it's since been taken down, which we guess makes everything she said probably true, right? Publishers Weekly's the Beat blog blurbed the relevant parts, below:

    It's fairly well-documented that Julie Taymor is a genius, but I was dubious when I first heard about this project. It’s Peter Parker plus Arachne (you know, from the myths about spiders) and it’s Green Goblin and Mary Jane and a greek chorus of geeks (geek chorus, snort snort) and, of course, J.J. Jameson. Glen was kind enough to show us all of the set design sketches and they are amazing — stylish and graphic with forced perspective and vertigo-inducing angles. Lots of LED stuff, also. We also got to see test footage from the swinging and flying and a short video of the team figuring out how to shoot webs. As Glen said, obviously there are going to be a lot of wires in this show. If it bothers you to see them, this is not the show for you.

    We also got to hear some music from the workshop they did recently and, you know, it rocks. It’s undeniably U2 in the very best way. There’s a beautiful duet between Peter and MJ that I’m sure we’ll all see at the 2010 Tonys.

    Wow! This sounds so good that not even Josh Bednarsky could screw it up!


  11. Intruiging!
  12. The U2 relevant part of an interview with Evan Rachel Wood:

    CH: Have you heard any of the music from Bono and the Edge yet?

    ERW: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I had to do a read through of it for Marvel in person, kind of an audition. So yeah, I've heard all the music, and it's so good. It makes me cry.

    CH: What's it like, having Bono and the Edge put lyrics in your mouth?

    ERW: Jim Sturgess, who played Jude in Across the Universe, did the workshop with me. We're still trying to convince him to play Spider-Man, but I got to read it with him and he's such a huge, huge U2 fan. There was one time he was learning the song, and Bono and The Edge were playing the other parts, so they were basically being his back-up singers. I just remember taking [Jim] to the side and going, "Bono and The Edge were just your back-up singers. Can you just enjoy this moment right now for me, please? It's Fourth of July. We're never going to forget this."
