Considering the success of The Beatles: Rock Band what band, mega or not, doesn’t want to add “Uber Popular Game Franchise” to its resume?

Yes, you read that correctly. It is no lie.

Titled Spider-man: Turn off the Dark, the musical will include an origin story that, according to the web site, is “both recognizable and unexpected, yielding new character as well as familiar faces until a final surprising confrontation casts a startling new light on this hero’s journey.”

The musical will feature music and lyrics by Bono and The Edge (of U2 fame) and a story by Julie Taymor (The Lion King on Broadway), who is also directing it, and Glen Berger.
