So this morning on Good Morning America, Julie Taymor debuted the first look ever at Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark. I should warn you: going into a musical called “turn off the dark” alone should be a hint at the quality of musical you will be seeing, but if it’s not enough you have the first song above (entitled “Boy Falls From The Sky” – oof), and the first look at the musical’s Green Goblin below:
Well. That’s certainly something. Julie Taymor is known for Across the Universe and Frida, both of which are rather popular and neither of which I liked. With the help of U2 and Bono specifically, my interest in this isn’t very high, and the song and character design don’t change that much. But hey, you might love it. You might think the Joshua Tree is the greatest album ever recorded! Me? I can’t say my excitement for this went up at all.
