BONO & THE EDGE TO CHAT WITH FANS AT TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX

Still from From the Sky Down

Although many TIFF-goers were shut-out of the chance to order tickets to see Davis Guggenheim's U2 Documentary, From the Sky Down, fret not as Frontman Bono and Guitarist The Edge will be visiting the TIFF Bell Lightbox this Friday, September 9, 2011 between the hours of 1:30 to 2:15 PM EST to do a Fan Q&A.  This will follow the Premiere of the Film the night prior at both Roy Thomson Hall and VISA Screening Room (Elgin Theatre). They will be answering questions about the Film and the making of the Achtung Baby album. You too can participate by Tweeting in your questions before Friday, 12:00 PM EST with the Hashtag #TheSkyDown.

They can't guarantee all questions will be answered, which goes without saying, but hopefully you get your chance to be heard and noticed after this many years of loyalty.

ACTOR INJURED IN PREVIEW OF "SPIDER-MAN" MUSICAL

Okay, is anybody else with me in that the Musical Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark is a bad idea altogether? Musicals should be about communicating the power of a Story through Song, Dance and Dialogue. When the safety of Actors is risked at the expense of wowing an audience, we have a serious problem at hand.  A Musical shouldn't have to depend on stunts and trickery to be good.

Poor Aerialist Christopher Tierney was injured on a Preview of the Spider-Man Musical last night at Foxwoods Theatre in New York City. TMZ has acquired a Video Clip recorded by an audience member on their Cell Phone as Tierney's cord had snapped less than ten minutes before the end of the show, before he had dived several feet into the audience.  He was rushed to the Hospital right after the incident.  Horrific.

The Musical co-penned by Julie Taymor, responsible for the disastrous adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest in theatres right now, and U2's Bono and The Edge, has faced multiple setbacks and delays.  This is yet another setback in what seems like a doomed venture from the start.  As of this time, tomorrow's Matinee Preview of Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark has been postponed to allow a more careful safety evaluation for the Show.

Watch the clip of the accident below from TMZ:
