Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark may have trouble finding new actors, should it ever make it to a second run: Theater actors are increasingly complaining about the production. Rent star Adam Pascal wrote on Facebook, “They should put Julie Taymor in jail for assault! … I hope [actor Christopher Tierney] is ok and sues the shit out of Julie, Bono, Edge and every other asshole who invested in that steaming pile of actor-crippling shit!" Tony-winning actress Alice Ripley said on Twitter, "Does someone have to die? Where is the line for the decision makers, I am curious. Spider-Man should be ashamed of itself. This is completely unacceptable and embarrassing to working actors everywhere."
