Amidst reports of production snafus, cast injuries, and swirling rumors about the most expensive budget Broadway has ever seen, stage and film director Julie Taymor has been understandably tight-lipped about her upcoming ‘Spider-Man’ stage adaptation. Lucky for her, she found herself facing press Monday alongside the musical’s first, highly enthusiastic, celebrity critic: Russell Brand.
“I went to see it and it looked f***ing amazing,” exclaimed Brand of ‘Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark’ during a press conference for Taymor’s film adaptation of ‘The Tempest,’](http://www.moviefone.com/movie/the-tempest/1417655/main) in which he plays the buffoon Trinculo. “It’s mental.
