Excuse us for a second, while we take a deep breath before we recap the Julie Taymor/Spider-Man lawsuit saga…….

Back in November, Julie Taymor filed a lawsuit against the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark producers for violating her "creative rights as an author" of the play…and for failing to compensate her "for their continued use of her work to date."

Then, the producers released a statement in which they fired back at Julie, claiming they'd already been trying to resolve everything with her out of court.

THEN, Julie put collaborators Bono and The Edge on blast, asserting that they used her as a scapegoat to escape the bad press they were receiving for all of the show's injuries and delays.

THENNNN,

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:

We don't want to give away the surprise, but there's actually going to be a clone of both Bono and The Edge in EVERY set sold! LOLz.

Okay, so maybe there won't be any clones, but the upcoming 20th anniversary reissue of Achtung Baby will still be more-than-expansive!

Here's what U2 band manager Paul McGuinness had to say about the release in an interview from earlier this year:

Such a lovely end to a dramatastic story!

Yesterday, we made it clear that we believed Julie Taymor deserved to be at opening night of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, even if there is some bad blood between herself and the other show creators.

Sources were saying that she was expected to attend, and sure enough, Julie was at the show last night AND she even took pictures with some of the team including Bono and The Edge (above)!

Must have been nice for the Spider-Man team when they got a standing ovation at the end…even though the critics are still not into the show.

Here's what Bono said, which spurred the standing ovation:
