During todays press junket for The Wrestler, Evan Rachel Wood confirmed that she will be playing Mary Jane Watson in Julie Taymor's new Broadway musical "Spiderman".
Last summer, she and Across The Universe co-star Jim Sturgess participated in a workshop for the new musical. Sturgess is still a hold-out for the upcoming musical, but Wood went on to say, they were still trying to snag him in the web.
If Taymor can land both of these up and coming film stars, that would be quite a get.
Don't know about you, but, with Taymor at the helm, this looks to be a ground breaking piece of live theatre, much like The Lion King was back in it's day.
No expense is being spared for this new production, and the budget has reportedly risen to a cool 35 million dollars.
Stay tuned.
