Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark certainly has the essence of its beleaguered hero down.
According to a spokesperson from the New York State Department of Labor, the show’s director, Julie Taymor (The Lion King), and the producers were unable to show the department all of the show’s two dozen aerial stunts. The department is required to view all of the stunts before approving the show and allowing the curtain to finally rise on this troubled production. News broke last week that one of the show’s stunts was allegedly responsible for the injuries of two of the show’s actors.
Today news has surfaced that the show is again being delayed, and it isn’t only because of the numerous stunts which have still not been fully realized.
From the New York Times:
The executives, as well as people working on or plugged into the production, described a tremendous amount of creative commotion behind the scenes in interviews this week. Flying sequences were still being developed and the music, special effects and scenes of plot and dialogue were still largely in separate pieces even though performances were originally set to begin on Nov. 14.
The $60 million Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark is expected to open in January, instead of its intended December 21st date.
