Sturgess talks Spider-Man: The Musical
Cinematical talks to Jim Sturgess about the upcoming Spider-Man musical:
Now, remember back when we told you how Across the Universe director Julie Taymor was directing a Spider-Man: The Musical, with music and lyrics from U2′s Bono and the Edge? Well, at the time, Taymor said she was interested in Sturgess playing Spider-Man, with Evan Rachel Wood playing Mary Jane. Not only is that true, but apparently Sturgess and Wood have already performed the roles. He says, “We actually have done a workshop for it, which is how this all kind of started. [Taymor] asked me and Evan to come down and do this workshop that she was doing, so it was a chance to work with Julie again and Evan again and, yeah, at that point I didn’t know much more about it. We just did two weeks, and we kind of hung out with Bono and the Edge and sung songs about Spider-Man. As a young actor and musician, it was an incredible experience to be involved in that.”

Jericho’s future
SciFi.com talks to Carol Barbee about the future of Jericho now that the series finale has aired … currently they’re hoping that another network might pick it up, but if not …
If Jericho is not picked up for another season by a TV network, Barbee said that she could envision it living on in some other form. “There’s definitely an Internet series to be had, and we always talked about a graphic novel, and … a movie,” Barbee said. “I mean, there are lots of things that I could easily see as a way to continue the story.”

Spider-Man: The Musical… (sigh)
It had better be the greatest spectacle we have ever seen: I mean sweeping arias that bring men to tears and haunting recitative that quakes the foundation of modern song and dance.
Anything less, we will be able clock in seconds (not minutes or days, how quickly people line up to burn that SOB to the ground. I’m sure fanboys already groan at the mere mention of this stunt.
