Its story has been called incoherent and a blasphemy to the source material. So the producers of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark have decided to hire a comic book scribe (who is also a playwright) to change things up on Broadway’s behemoth.
Deadline is reporting that Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been hired to create a more cohesive piece that is more in line with the webslinger’s own storyline. Does this mean, I wonder, if this will scale down the role of Arachne, the other-dimensional spider-goddess responsible for granting Peter Parker’s powers and giving him his costume?
I’m surprised the producers waited almost three months to consider this serious an overhaul of the book. My guess is that this show will stay in previews well past it’s official (and already pushed back) March opening.
Only time will tell true believers!
