So guess who's coming to the great white way? Patrick Bateman and Peter Parker. Interested? Me too!
Rumor has it American Psycho may just be so gory that the first few audience members may be given commemorative gore repelling ponchos! See now that's what the Tony's need to give more awards for: judicious use of violence and gore! Spiderman? Well why not? It's a Marvel blockbuster. Spidey is an enduring hero. It's got a love story, it's got crime fighting, it's got the whole good vs evil paradigm, and apparently Bono. I'm interested to find out more.
Anyway here's some shizat I found about both:
The Johnson-Roessler Co.'s David Johnson, Craig Roessler and Jesse Singer, the Collective's Aaron Ray and XYZ Films' Nate Bolotin have partnered to acquire, develop and produce the tale of violent Wall Street investment banker Patrick Bateman. Ellis and Edward R. Pressman, the producer of Mary Harron's 1999 film adaptation, will serve as consulting producers.
No director, book writer or songwriters have yet been brought on board the project, but producers say they're in early talks with some potential dramatists and hope to stage by 2010 with an eye for Broadway
Marvel Studios has confirmed that plans are underway to produce a Broadway musical based on Marvel's ever popular Super Hero, Spider-Man. Produced by Hello Entertainment/David Garfinkle, Martin McCallum, Marvel Entertainment, and SONY Pictures Entertainment (billing in formation), the musical will be directed by Tony Award-winner Julie Taymor with U2's Bono and The Edge creating new music and lyrics for the project. A reading is scheduled to take place this summer. No dates for a Broadway opening
