U2's musical.

U2: Behind the Web

The saga of the Broadway musical, Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark, with music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge, could be headed to theaters, TV or DVD, or all three. All the missteps of this troubled musical were captured by filmmaker Jacob Cohl, who is the son of one of the show's lead producers, Michael Cohl, known for promoting many tours, especially those by The Rolling Stones.

The younger Cohl was given unlimited behind-the-scenes access to the making of Spider-Man, with the hopes that his film could be used as a promotional vehicle to sell tickets. What he captured tells a different story -- there were the many production accidents and fights over the script, both of which led to numerous delays. While he is currently editing the film, the show's original director, Julie Taymor, who was fired, is trying to make sure she is left on the editing room floor. Her lawsuit against the producers seeks to prevent them from using footage of her in the movie. The suit says the film "would cause Taymor to suffer irreparable harm... to [her] future business prospects and commercial reputation." The producers have countersued, saying, "Taymor's attempt to stop the documentary apparently because she is fearful that it may portray her in an unflattering light is a classic prior restraint in violation of the First Amendment." Stay tuned.
