Spiderman.....THE MUSICAL!?!

Spidermanluvr28' and 'Richard Parker' sent us to the official MySpace page for the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack, where you can now also listen to The Walkmen's "Red River" and the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs' "Sealings". Here's more on a limited edition:

The site also advertises a limited edition of the soundtrack that will be available for preorder (as well as the regular and digital editions). This special limited soundtrack will come with a 32-page embossed book with movie-stills, 5 movie-card collectibles in a 7x7 box made from a replica of the rubberized Spidey suit, and a bonus track of The Flaming Lips covering the Spider-Man theme song. Neither the book or the cards and box are available for preview currently, but that may also change as the site develops.

Meanwhile, 'beast boy' sent us a casting breakdown for a "Spider-Man" musical in New York:

SEEKING:

[PETER PARKER] Male, late teens to early 20's, Caucasian. A bullied, high school senior in Queens passionate about all things Science, and infatuated with Mary Jane Watson to the point of near-paralysis. Earnest, ethical, and frequently relying on his wry, self-effacing sense of humor to get out of scrapes, he was bitten by a genetically altered spider in Norman Osborn's Lab soon before graduating and becomes after trials and tragedy a crime-fighting superhero. He struggles daily to balance the responsibilities his dual identity demands, as well as with the constant temptation to exploit the powers he has inherited. The burden of being a superhero, his guilt for his role in his uncle?s death, as well as his debilitating crush on Mary Jane all weigh heavily upon him. Great pop/rock voice.

[MARY JANE] Female, late teens to early 20s, Caucasian. Sweet, intelligent, affectionate, compassionate, with a well-developed, wry sense of humor. Her power, her luminosity, arises from the unadorned simplicity and groundedness of her presence. She is desperate to get out of Queens, to get away from her abusive father, and make a name for herself as an actress. Great pop/rock voice.

[ARACHNE] Female, 20-35 years old, any ethnicity. A beautiful, boastful young woman turned into a spider for her hubris and lack of respect for the gods. She subsequently appears to Peter Parker and the audience as in turn a powerful spider-woman who comes from another time to inspire Peter; an otherworldly lover; a bride; a terrifying (and sexy) dark goddess of vengeance; a dance partner in a charged and violent spiders dance of death; and, finally, a lonely, fragile young woman. Possesses an ethereal, unique, gorgeous singing voice. Strong Celtic, Balkan style, e.g., Sinead O'Connor. Outside the box ideas are welcomed. Could be someone from the music industry.

[NORMAN OSBORN] Male, 50s, Southern. A brilliant scientist deeply devoted to his wife Emily and to the potential of science to improve the world. Always thinking, always tinkering, always talking, he is a dynamo, a folksy whirlwind of energy cut from the same cloth as Ted Turner. An experiment gone wrong mutates him into an unholy terror called the Green Goblin contemptuous of humanity and very much insane. STRONG comic chops and strong character voice.

[J. JONAH JAMESON] Male, 50s. Brash, stubborn, and a throwback from another era, the mustachioed, cigar-chomping, tyrannical publisher of the Daily Bugle is always after the headline that will sell more papers. He is unrelenting in his hatred for Spider-Man, whom he sees as a vigilante and a bane to NYC. Need STRONG comic chops.

[GEEK CHORUS] Three teenage boys and one girl who meet to ritualistically retell the greatest Spider-Man stories. They have encyclopedic knowledge of the last forty years of Spider-Man comic books. They are inveterate role-playing, over-enthusiastic, idealistic, air-guitar-wielding, argumentative, earnest, hyper-serious geeks. Strong comic chops and strong singing voices. Any ethnicity.

This is almost as crazy sounding as Evil Dead the Musical.

My comic book readings of this week

New Excalibur 17

CURSE YOU CHRIS CLARMOUNT CURSE YOU!!! You made one of my favorite exiles characters become paralized or something.

52 Week 43

See my topic on the forums

Eternals 7

Well, Neil Gaiman and I am please with it but I kinda wished it ended with 6 since it just seems so forced and rushed and I really hope there is some continuation to this. But hey Its Gaiman so its all good.

Frontline 11

This now explains why Stark has been acting so Out of character in Civil War now we just need an explanation for Richards. I don't know really what else to say.

Runaways 25

So ends the Vaughn era and bring in Whedon which will have plenty of delays.
