That'll probably be better than the actual musical, LOL!!

Filmmaker Jacob Cohl, son of lead producer Michael Cohl, had his camera recording EVERYTHING backstage! Everything from day one of rehearsals to the June 2011 opening of Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark.

Uh-oh! We had a feeling that this whole mess was going to be a little less-than-amicable, but looks like someone isn't wasting any time!

Julie Taymor filed a lawsuit last week regarding her abrupt firing as director from the so-bad-it's-just-bad, accident-prone, $65 million musical Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, under claims that the production has infringed upon her creative input, and now, she's lashing out at her collaborators, Bono and The Edge, and asserts that they used her as a scapegoat to escape the bad press they were receiving for all of the injuries and delays!

She explains:

This is turning into a giant web of Broadway heresay and court room drama.
