With how cluttered the film is already I think that Mysterio will be a villain that Spidy beats up at the beginning and then it leads into the THANK YOU SPIDER-MAN DAY (I've seen a few pics on-line of banners that say THANK YOU SPIDER-MAN).

Info on Sandman:

http://www.superherohype.com/news/fe...ws.php?id=4599

from what ive heard on the radio and looked up on the internet and seen previews at the move sandman will be the main villian but venom isnt in it theres going to be black spiderman wich is the same size as the normal spiderman

Watch the interviews from Comic Con. Also go to the Spider-Man 3 offical web site, there is a picture of Topher turning into Venom. And lastly, before the recorded trailer from Comic Con was taken off-line there was a quick scene at the end of the teaser at Comic Con that showed Topher turn into Venom and then Venom rushes at to the screen. Its Venom because you could see all of the teeth and the tongue.

So Venom is in this movie. The villains are Sandman, Venom, and Harry Osborn as GG2 or Hobgoblin.

Feige Says to Expect More Spider-Man Movies
Source: Advanced Dark August 23, 2006

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige recently told MTV that he thinks it's almost certain there will be more Spidey films after Spider-Man 3:

Feige directly addressed rumors that it might be the final film for the friendly neighborhood web-slinger.

"There will be many more Spider-Man films to come," he promised. "We already have stacks of ideas for the next one because of the wealth of stories in the comics. We could be making Spider-Man movies for the next 20 years, based on the 50 years of Spider-Man history we have."

That doesn't necessarily guarantee, however, that Tobey Maguire will continue as the man under the mask.

"When you're concentrating on one movie at a time, there's a beginning and a middle and an end to that process," Feige reasoned. "We've been topping each one as they go, [and if that happens again], that's the time for those discussions."

I could see this lasting along time but I wonder who would play spidey next. And I hope they don't screw the pooch on this one.

In the interviews from Comic Con Tobey said that he would be up for another Spider-Man "if there are interesting stories to tell."

I have a lot of faith in Rami but I am werry about 3 villains and a possible 4th side villain.

Bruce Campbell Talks Spider-Man 3
Source: Josh Look September 10, 2006

'Josh Look' wrote in about a Q&A held with Bruce Campbell on Friday in which he was asked about Spider-Man 3:

I had the honor to go to a Q&A session with Bruce Campbell on Friday night in Cambridge, MA. It wasn't long before someone popped the 'Spider-Man 3' question. Bruce said that he couldn't say much and was probably going to say too much, but he and Spidey will "team up." He also bragged that the snooty usher is the only person to ever defeat Spider-Man in the movies.

Later in the night, (with an enitrely different crowd) there was a screening of his film "Bubba Ho-Tep." He took more questions, and again Spidey 3 came up. This time, said that his role was "pivitol." Obviously a joke, but I'd be willing to be that he is definitely NOT Mysterio, as earlier rumors claimed.

Spider-Man 3 hits theaters on May 4, 2007.

Spider-Man 3 hits theaters on May 4, 2007.

id love it if bruce was featured more as anyone to be honest in anything to be sad........just love the guy

The new trailer is amazing!
********Spoiler which is in the trailer if you watch it*************


But I'm still shaky about Sandman being Unlce Ben's killer.

what the fuck?
 

spider-man 3 isn't a horror movie.


looking forward to it though

if sam raimis got anything to do with it.....its all fine by me

Sam is human, he isn't perfect. But the best way to approach this movie as well as the previous Spidy films, is to look at this as Sam vision of what Spidy would be like. Its not supposed to be exactly like the comic books otherwise there wouldn't be much of a reason to go and watch these movies, I'd stay home and just read the comic if the movie was exactly frame for frame like the comic book.

oh he certainly aint perfect!!! some of his films are diabolical

The trailer was sick. Still can't get over the fact that Sandman's the "real" killer, though. How lame is that.

way to go dude
 

you ruined it before i could see it great job, LOL.

I don't think its lame moreso that its a glitch in the original mythology of Spider-Man. If your familiar with the Black Costume saga in the comics or even the TV show, the Black Costume brought out the evil side of Parker. Thus was the reason that Parker finally went to the church and was able to separte from the symbote with the aid from the church bell.
For the purposes of the movie I beleive that Sam needed something that would push Parker over the edge so Sam decided to make one of the main villains the killer of Uncle Ben. Next Sam wanted to honor Tobey's wishes to have Sandman in a movie so thats how Sandman was even considered. With these elements Parker is thrown into a sense of anger and revenge that will drive me to possible commet an act that he may never forgive himself for.
He will then realize that the symbote has enhanced his dark side as well as therefore he knows that he must separte from it. But low and behold Brock is there and as we all know the symbote finds Brock and bonds with him b/c Brock hates Spidy just as much as the symbote does.

If I've said a lot of stuff that you or anyone else knows already I appologize, but I felt that I needed to provide a little history to make my point.

New Peeks at Spidey and Ghost Rider?

Scooper 'C.A.H.' wrote:

Watch the "Spike TV Video Game Awards" on Wednesday, December 13th at 10 PM EST. time to catch a glimpse at "Ghost Rider" and "Spider-Man 3".

During a commercial for the awards show last night, I saw shots of both GR and SM3 featuring the Rider flinging his chain to something/someone off screen and Harry Osborn/Green Goblin II flying on his glider towards the camera. This could mean we could be getting new looks at both of those films, or looks at their games.

Tune In And Find Out!

i thought Brock hated parker....

I cant believe they have Topher Grace playing Eddie Brock. Not that i dont think he can pull it off, but in the comic, eddie brock is a frigging monster of a man, and topher is, well, gangly.

Brock hates both Parker and Spider-Man if I remeber right, he hates Spider-Man more because Spider-Man screwed-up a big story Brock was about to break it caused Brock to lose his job.

I think Topher is going to pull the charcater off fine, I think he will bring a different aspect to the character of Venom in that by Topher being small and his overall precience on screen I think that he will convey more of the desperite and crazy aspect of Brock's character. After Brock was ruiened he was basiclly a broken man, I think Topher will convey that well with his kinda wieny voice that I've noticed in the trailers as well as the trailer with the glimps at Venom.

For those who have not seen this yet:

lol sandman?
Hes the crappest villan ever!!!!!!!!!!!
We need venom, lizard man , mysterio , SHOCKER etc...:p

didnt look too crappy in the ads..

No kidding....

Toad was a pretty lame character, but they got Ray Park to play him and made him at least interesting. hehe... "Darth Toad".....

Maguire on the Spider-Man 3 Goo
Source: Los Angeles Times December 11, 2006

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Tobey Maguire revealed a bit more about Spider-Man 3:

"Basically, there's the goo, right? The symbiote which has, like, a dark energy, like the goo from the thing that creates venom." To someone not totally versant in the Spider-Man mythology, Maguire sounds vaguely demented. He realizes it, laughs and backs up. He's not referring to venom, but Venom, "a very, very popular character from the later Spider-Man comics. He has the same kind of attributes that Spider-Man has, but he's just stronger, faster and more vicious than Spider-Man. And it comes from this goo that comes from outer space, so first the goo comes and gets hold of me."

--------------------------------
So it looks like they are sticking close to the original concept origin of the symbiote as apose to the Ultimate origin. I think it will play out something like in the animated series.

Second off Sandman is a lame villain but Sandman is Tobey's favorite villain plus from a visual stand point he will be awsome. Also he's a villain that would make more sense as Uncle Ben's killer for the movies b/c Sandman is just a tug basiclly and there isn't much complexity to his origin or character as apose to Spidys major villains like The Lizard, not Lizard man, or Doc Ock, or any of the Goblins.

Spider-Man 3 Sneak Peek Coming to FX!
Source: Superhero Hype! December 12, 2006

Spidey fans alerted us to another early look at Spider-Man 3! We'll start with scooper 'Brick'...

I was watching the Nip/Tuck season finale when during a commercial break FX said they will be premiering Spider-Man 2 Jan. 2 at 7PM. Not only will they be showing Spider-Man 2 but a new version with added story and extended scenes. Also during this there will be a new clip of Spider-Man 3 shown.

'Spider-Who?' wrote:

Hey! Just to let you guys know, the cable channel FX just aired an advertisement about Spider-Man 2, saying that Sam Raimi presents an "exclusive cut" of Spider-Man 2 on January 2.

So many venom books for a character that only essentially comes into fruition towards the end of the film...unless they've actually managed to put enough misleading spin out there, and he's actually a villain bigtime in this one...but...I'd actually prefer it if they set up his story a little bit, so if we have to wait for the fourth to see him in his prime, that's all good.
I can kinda see a "symbiote invasion/theft" type storyline which will have venom/Brock do something to redeem themself towards the end happening though, jsut to compress his story into a film, which is a little dissapointing, as the character was hateful and evil for a lonnnnng time.

The "new goblin" looks more like a modern take on "the vulture", if anyone follows the comics/cartoon and can recall when he got rejuvinated for a while?

I'm sick of waiting for this one...the spider-man films are probably my favourite thing to come out of marvel.

Thats why the goblin suit looks so familar to me, your right it does look like Vulture.
As far as Venom goes, I was hoping that Venom would be a storyline carried over into #4. However, I've read thin reports that Venom dies at the end, but I would rather not believe those stories. But I did read any article today saying that Tobey, Kristin, and James Franco only signed on for 3 movies, and they have not yet decisded on whether or not to renew their contracts.

Spidey
 

doesn't Tophers character eventually become Venoms host? I remeber a storyline where Peter Parker rejects Venom and then another reporter takes over Venom identity...

In the original comic book back in '84 Spider-Man had the black costume. In Web of Spider-Man #1 Parker went to a church to try and get rid of the costume. In the church Brock (Topher's character) was praying. Parker used the church bell to get ride of the costume and it fell on Brock bellow.
This is why you see a church scene in the trailer.

You may also remeber a modification of this story from the '90's cartoon series with similar events.

More to the point, Brock was a competing photographer...took info from a dodgy source and fucked up or missed a story (something like that), got found out by the Jameson boss guy, Parker "won" their ongoing rivalry when Brock was fired and disgraced. He was contemplating suicide in the church.
Suit finds the nearest host after being "abandoned" = Brock.
Brock hates Peter Parker, suit hates Peter Parker/spider-man, symbiosis formed with the suit provided information about parkers secret identity, fuels further rage...etc...etc.

If they do things "right", the venom suit is able to go into camo. mode, and negates the whole spider-sense dealy too.

I have never read the first appearance of Venom, all of my Venom knowledge comes from Venom's second appearance to present. But there is a video on YouTube for anyone who wants a quick run down on Venom.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg6U-EJKhYw

I think that they will have Venom be immune to Spider-Man's Spider Sense.

lolololololololol wow that was fantastic. thank god for youtube.

Dunno if it's been posted or what, but...
