So what do you get when you pair visionary pop-theater director Julie Taymor (The Lion King, Frida, Across the Universe) with Bono and the Edge from U2?

Spider-Man! On Broadway!

I remember hearing a while back that a Spider-Man musical was in the works but had no idea that it was this far along.

Julie Taymor has such an amazing knack for crafting vibrant and imaginative visual images. I cant wait to see her take on comic books. As for the music, I'm anxious to see how well Bono and Edge adapt their songwriting skills to Broadway.

Here is a video I found at /Film of the two rock stars discussing the project.


Most popular Broadway musicals eventually find their way to the silver screen. Maybe Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark will sing and dance its way into theaters in coming years.
