Spider Man,The Musical?
Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark musical , aint looking good with previously cast Green Goblin actor Alan Cumming and the show's Mary Jane Watson actress Evan Rachel Wood both leaving the production after multiple delays.
lead actor Reeve Carney is still planning to make his debut as Peter Parker this fall, and shared some details about it when he dropped by MTV with his band, Carney,musician-turned-actor said
"We were playing at the Mercury Lounge here in New York," said Carney of the first time he met "Turn Off The Dark" director Julie Taymor. "At that gig, she said, 'You'd be perfect for my film 'The Tempest.'' I said, 'I don't act. Don't you need an actor for this movie?' She said, 'Yes, [and] I think you can act.'"
One thing led to another, and Carney turned his "Tempest" role into an upcoming turn as Marvel's friendly neighborhood wallcrawler — and a chance to rub elbows with U2 bandmates Bono and The Edge, who composed the musical's score.
I just don't get the shivers of a singing spidy if that is so....swinging while singing? crawling while singing? it just doesn't kick it with me.... Okay, I love Spiderman, i do, but its bad enough we get to watch a guy in a tight suit swining around town, now he has to sing too...tough luck..
"This is a great opportunity with 'Spider-Man,' because it allows our band to relocate to New York and to be involved with Bono and The Edge and Julie Taymor," said Carney. "It's crazy." Obviously they're excited....good for them, its a transition.
"We actually auditioned over a couple of days with the music and the whole thing, and thankfully they liked the direction we were taking it," said Reeve's band mate and brother, Zane Carney. "I believe we're actually playing on stage at some point during the show, too."
The brothers are said to be confident that the Spider-Man musical would swing into action this fall. The pair added that they performed one of the songs penned by Bono and The Edge at today's New Dramatists Luncheon here in Manhattan.
I just hope Spiderman wont be dancing around too..
