| The blog has got the wrong information. It says that Bono and The Edge are writing their first score for stage but they wrote the score for Clockwork Orange: The Musical in the West End, many years ago. Probably they would like to forget that show. It was a complete disaster. Songs that sound good in a U2 set are not necessarily songs that belong in a musical. Jim's songs are much better suited for theatre. I think that the producers of Spiderman are going to one day regret hiring Bono and The Edge, even though U2 is a fantastic rock band. > The Spiderman musical had some type of preview in NYC this > week: > > > http://modernfabulousity.blogspot.com/2009/03/stage-addiction-inside-preview-of.html > > The preview seems to have been received favourably and > from a visual point of view it seems to be coming from a > similar place as Jim's vision for Bat (flying sequences, > Cirque de Soleil, Ishioka costumes). > > I hope this does well as it might it prompt Warner Bros to > re-visit Batman? > > Whether Jim would want to get re-involved, who knows, and > in any case I think he's using some of the Batman demos > for Bat? > > | |
