Another Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark Injury and 6 Other Stories You'll Be Talking About Today

Also in this Tuesday edition of The Broadsheet: James Franco is doing more stuff... A Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor passes away (but he's not the one you're thinking of)... The Arab League and Steven Spielberg reportedly don't see eye-to-eye... and more ahead.

· Yikes. During a preview performance of Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark on Monday night, a stunt performer fell nearly ten feet into a pit beneath the stage during a climatic portion of the second act. "It looked like it was supposed to happen," attendee Matthew Smith told the Times outside of the theater. "But he fell at a faster pace. It didn't look right." The injured actor -- who has been unofficially identified as Christopher Tierney -- was taken to Bellevue Hospital for "observation" according to the production, yet Turn Off the Dark star Natalie Mendoza still seems pretty concerned. "Please pray with me for my friend Chris, my superhero who quietly inspires me everyday with his spirit," she wrote on Twitter this morning. "A light in my heart went dim tonight." Double yikes. The New York Times has been all over this story and they have a very short video clip of the fall. Click through to watch. [NYT/ArtsBeat]

· A rolling James Franco gathers no moss. Movieline's unofficial Entertainer of the Year will head to Berlin for his first solo art show at the Peres Projects gallery. "An actor-artist like James is better received in Europe than in the U.S.," said gallery owner Javier Peres. "He does other projects that people in the U.S. think are 'out there,' but in Europe avant-garde films are more mainstream." Somewhere, Jerry Lewis is nodding in agreement. [ArtInfo]

· "Forgetting Sarah Marshall Actor Dead!" blared the headline on Monday night. Which is technically true, in that Steve Landesberg did appear in that underrated comedy classic. But considering your mind immediately jumps to Jason Segel, Russell Brand or Jonah Hill when reading "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," that feels a tad disingenuous. Landesberg -- who was best known for his role on Barney Miller -- died on Friday after a battle with cancer. [Deadline]

· WikiLeaks: The gift that keeps on giving. A newly released 2007 document reveals that the 14-member Arab League voted to ban all of Steven Spielberg's films after the director donated $1 million to Israel during that country's military action in Lebanon. Don't work yourself up into too much of a lather, though: Spielberg spokesman Marvin Levy said the boycott was not enforced. [IMDb]

· And the screenwriter responsible for adapting Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol for the big screen is...Dan Brown! The author replaces Akiva Goldsman and David Koepp, who co-wrote Angels & Demons. [THR/Risky Business]

· Wondering what mysteries those 17 lost minutes of footage from Stanley Kubrick's 2001 hold? Keep wondering. "When Mr. Kubrick trimmed the 17 minutes from 2001 after the New York premiere, he made it clear the shortened version was his final edit," said Warner Bros. in a statement to Wired. "The film is as he wanted it to be presented and preserved and Warner Home Video has no plans to expand or revise Mr. Kubrick's vision." [Wired]

· Speaking of space! Did you sleep through the lunar eclipse last night? No worries, here's what it looked like. [Wired]
