no more broadway spiderman musical?



Oh, aren't those lovely pics of Evan and her brother at the premiere of Garden State, back in 2004, when she was just 16?

And sad news about the Spiderman musical:

Say Goodbye to Spider-Man … The Musical
I’ll admit, I never understood why anyone thought Spider-Man would make a good musical — even with music by Bono and The Edge. But Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark seemed inevitable, and once we got word that Evan Rachel Wood and Alan Cumming were joining the cast, the big-budgeted show seemed to be chugging along nicely towards it’s 2010 release date. But all is not well in the world of Spidey, and Michael Riedel at the New York Post is reporting that the show is in serious trouble. According to Riedel, the set designers have been put on hiatus, actors might be released from their contracts, and staff is scrambling to cash their checks before the money runs out.

The production is still a long way from being finished, and according to sources, “A lot of it seems to exist only in Julie’s [Taymor] head,” But as far as Taymor and company are concerned, the show is on track for previews in February, 2010. According to the official website, tickets will be going on sale in October, but sources claim that agents are already trying to return the tickets that have been sold for advance previews.

Riedel’s sources claimed that it was the show’s price tag that was the final straw for the troubled production. The show was budgeted at $45 million (with a weekly running cost of almost $900,000) but it looks like even with a sold-out house every night the production can’t make a profit. But, the bottom line wasn’t the only hurdle for the web-slinging musical, and according to Riedel, there is plenty of blame to go around for the show’s producers, “Sony, Marvel Comics and David Garfinkle, a Chicago lawyer who, sources say, had almost no Broadway experience.”

But if you were looking forward to a singing and dancing Peter Parker, all is not lost — at least not yet anyway. Remember, nothing is official, so stay tuned to Cinematical for any updates that come our way.

Wood Fielding Film Offers After Spider-man Musical Trouble?
Evan Rachel Wood’s agents are reportedly desperate to win back a number of film roles the actress turned down to work on stalled Broadway musical Spider-man as rumours continue to swirl about the troubled stage show.

The Wrestler star was due to tread the boards in the new production early next year, but work on the play has been suspended as producers at Hello Entertainment battle financial problems.

Claims the Spider-Man spectacular, which will feature music written by U2 stars Bono and The Edge, has been scrapped altogether were blasted by the show’s bosses on Wednesday amid rumours the cast and crew had been released from their contracts.

A spokesperson for the production told WENN: “Hello Entertainment is aware of the speculation about the future of Spider-Man on Broadway and is re-confirming that the plan is to resume production shortly and preview on February 25th, 2010 at the Hilton Theatre when cash flow issues have been resolved.”

But according to the New York Post, Wood will not be part of the line-up when the musical resumes production.

The newspaper alleges the actress snubbed several film roles to commit to the New York show, but now Spider-Man appears to be in trouble, she wants to claim those projects back.

An insider tells the publication, “As far as they’re concerned, it’s over. She’s available for other work.”

What a lovely pair! They don't look alike but you can tell that they really love each other, and Evan was so young there!
Oh the Spiderman musical, I don't know, it didn't sound right from the beginning...

Big kisses darling! :**

oooh what a great duo, i always love to see pics of her and ira, they seem to get on really good and they looked cool and cute there :) daamn that sucks, i hope they don't cancel the musical, they had been rehearsing for a while right? and evan seemed to be really excited about it, now if everything's cancelled that would be too bad :(

anyway my dear bells, you know what? yesterday 'the life before her eyes' was (finally!) released here in spain and i went to see it of course! the truth is that i really liked it, meaning not the best evan movie ever, but she gave a really really great and remarkable performance and she did a great job, its a shame that she and uma thurman don't share any scenes together because that would have been cool and uma was awesome there too. the only thing i didnt like about it is that it gets a bit twisted when you're reaching to the end and when the movie finished i ended up a bit confused, lol, but well its totally worth watching and aww evan reminded me a lot of lucy in 'across the universe' with that long blonde-reddish hair and the young look. you haven't seen it yet, right? it was released a long time ago in the us and its a shame that we have to wait for so long!

im sending you the biggest kiss isabela, sorry for not replying your comments but ive been away in barcelona, and in some days im gonna be leaving for a week again, lol, but i promise i would be back after that! hehe, much love huuun!

Hello lovely!

Aww sibling love, so cool! They seem to have a very close relationship, even more so if they were going to work together which is always a pain if you don't put all of your trust in the person.

She was looking so young and pretty here! So funny that both my Kik and your Evan were going to play the same part, Mary Jane! I hope she gets to do it, that would be fun. Going to check out your blog full of goodies and OMG she'll be on True Blood, yay!

O!
