okay why can’t she just make Across the Universe a Broadway musical that would make much more sense!

The musical sounds like an odd idea to me now.. but Julie Taymor has a brilliant mind! If she does go on with it, there’s no doubt it’ll be amazing. Especially with Bono and The Edge making the music. And I’d love to see Jim and Evan back together for another musical.

Much as I love Jim and Evan, a Spider-Man musical is a HORRIBLE idea. Can you picture some guy in a latex suit swinging on a building and singing SHOW TUNES? Neither can I. And I love musicals.

Personally, I think that Across the Universe is an amazing movie. I bought the soundtrack and Dvd as soon as they were released.

I do think that Jim and Evan have amazing chemisty together, but I’m not sure on a Musical of Spiderman.

It seems a but cheezy to me to make it into a musical, although, I would like to know what they end up with.

Taymor is the perfect director for this. I personally thought Across The Universe was great, but LIon King is genius!
She really shines in the theatre.
I understand that Edge and Bono are writing the music, and that Jim and Evan already appeared in a workshop production for the money people.
Word is they both have the singing chops and would do anything for Taymor.

…I’m sorry…I seem to be having trouble with my eyes…a Spider-Man MUSICAL?
possibly a worse idea than the LOTR musical (which is way up there in the history of profoundly bad ideas)…add Taymor…ugh - a vastly overrated director…she should be a production designer or art director…areas in which she has proven talent…
and the series of decisions that resulted in the unmitigated horror that is Across the Universe amounts to crimes against humanity - that the music of the Beatles survives unscathed (and will do so long after Taymor and everyone else involved is dust) is no compensation…
where is the demand for this? what vocal group of people have expressed a desire for a Spider-Man musical? those who read the comic? no. the toy/merchandise demographic? (8 year olds)? no.

you need someone who’s been in solid films but is relatively low profile - but all the new hollywood boys are getting too high-profile to take on the gig now: Shia LaBoef, Emile Hirsch, Joseph Gordon-Levitt…

but the beauty of peter parker is he’s an everyman and as long as they don’t cast someone who couldn’t ever pass for a nerd, in the hands of the right director and hopefully with raimi producing, things should be ok.
