Spider-Man 3
 

Things are starting to sound a little scary with this installment. I have news that Gwen Stacy has just been added to the cast.
With assortment of Sandman, possibly Venom, maybe a Goblin, and now Stacy. I'm starting to get worried about this film.

Bryce Dallas Howard Joins Spider-Man 3
Source: The Hollywood Reporter January 18, 2006

Bryce Dallas Howard ("The Village") will play Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy in Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3. Sam Raimi is directing the movie, which started filming this month.

Gwen is pivotal in Spider-Man lore as Peter's high school crush, his girlfriend and his first love. She ended up being kidnapped by the Green Goblin and died during a bridgetop battle in "Amazing Spider-Man" issue 121.

Columbia is keeping a tight lid on the third movie's story line, though it is known that Gwen is the third part of a love triangle that includes Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.

Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco are reprising their roles. Thomas Haden Church plays Sandman and Topher Grace a yet-to-be-named villain.

The movie is being produced by Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studios' Avi Arad. The story is by Sam Raimi and Ivan Raimi, with a screenplay by Alvin Sargent.

Howard stars in M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming Lady in the Water as well as Kenneth Branagh's As You Like It. Howard also stars in Lars von Trier's Manderlay, which opens January 27.

Er... I think they may be looking to bite off more than they can chew with this one... If they want to include the entire storyline with Gwen, this is going to be quite a long film...

Spider-Man 3
 

I heard that sandman was supposed to be the main villain and then at the end venom would come and the fourth will leave off where the third ended.

I thought Lizard was a lock for the 3rd? Maybe the fourth movie then. Sam can make as many Spiderman movies as he wants, the last two were good movies. Besides, I've read hundreds of Spiderman comics and still been interested so why not 3 movies... or 4 or 5. He better save time for Evil Dead 4 though, Bruce needs some exposure as Ash dammit.

what about venom? or the red evil spider man guy.

Spider-Man 3
 

Yeah carnage is the best.

i wish they'd do a marvel-DC crossover and have spiderman and batman team up ..

yeh on another spider man 3 thread in this site i asked if venom would be in spider man 3 and they said yes?

Re: Spider-Man 3
 

Venom = Topher Grace

I've heard that they may try and film 3 & 4 together or that 3 would lead into 4 but I haven't heard anything for sure.

James Cromwell Joins Spider-Man 3

James Cromwell has joined the cast of Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man 3 as Captain Stacy, the father of Bryce Dallas Howard's character, Gwen.

In the "Amazing Spider-Man" comic books, Stacy dies a heroic death as he saves a child during a battle between Spider-Man and another supervillain. Peter Parker love interest Gwen Stacy (Howard) ends up blaming Spider-Man for her father's death.

Cromwell joins returning cast members Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and James Franco as well as Topher Grace, Thomas Haden Church and Theresa Russell. Sam Raimi is directing.

Cromwell is best known for starring in the "Babe" movies, the first of which earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor, and as a villain in "L.A. Confidential." His recent role on "Six Feet Under" earned him an Emmy mention in 2003.

These guys don't know what they won't to do with Spider-man 3 anymore. All I hope is that Venom is in it, even if it's only at the end to build hype for the fourth installment.

It sounds like Sandman is the main villian and Venom shows-up at the end to lead into Spider-Man 4

Here is a tease pic...
check it out.

Providing that it is an authentic teaser, Id say that pretty much cements the Venom rumors.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Well...after the first and second Spider-Man films still being among Marvels best despite history butchering, I'm down to watch the third.
One thing that shits me though...Topher Grace. Does anyone else think this guy is absolutely the WORST choice ever, to play Eddie Brock (Venom)? Eddie Brock is BIG, bigger than Parker - Grace is a shrimp, and I'm not sure, but I think he's smaller than tobey.M...It just doesn't seem right.

I wonder how the "suit" is going to come into existence? I'm sure it can't be the whole secret wars bit, that would just make it completely stupid...however, since jj Jamesons son is in the second film, they could possibly follow a similar storyline to the 90's cartoon in regards to the suit...which was simply something that Jamesons son, the astronaut brings back from space.
Seems that might be ok....but still, fucking topher grace?:rolleyes:
Personally, I would've went for Timothy Oliphant to play Brock. He's got the size, and he does psycho pretty well, as for Sandman
I think Rourke would've rocked...but ah well...

Here's hoping it's as good as the first two.
I can't wait to see how much better they've made the digital work, and fight scenes this time.

At first I thought Topher was a bad choice, but the more I think about it the better he sounds. Physically he doesnt fit the part, but if you look past that minor detail, he seems perfect.


If I tried to explain why I think that tonight, it would come out as an incoherant mess. Tomorrow.

SPIDER-MAN IN A BLACK SUIT!



http://spiderman.sonypictures.com/

Look up...look WAAAAY up....


**Couldnt find picture from Big Friendly Giant**

The black suit looks cool as hell... I'm just wondering about something though. How exactly are they going to explain Venom's origin? I mean, they couldn't possibly do it the same as in the comics... Spidey had the symbiote suit for a really long time, like a couple years in the comics I think. And also, Secret Wars just wouldn't work. The movie would be six hours long.

In the 90's cartoon, the symbiote was brought to Earth by astronauts, namely Jamesons son. I think that would fit the movies perfectly, as JJ Jr. has already been introduced.

Topher Grace would not be my choice for Venom either. Maybe its just all rumors and speculation. Maybe hw will be in the movie but not as Venom.

And if you look Tobey and Topher look alot alike...

thats not his black suit.....its just a black and white picture

I like Topher Grace and think he's a great actor, but he definitely shouldn't play Venom! Have him in the movie, but just as somebody else.

No, look closer. There are tinges of blue, esp. around the "3". The picture is not in black and white.

Heh, I love the countdown on that site

431 Days, 20 Hours, 51 minutes and 37 second until Spiderman 3 comes out!

..if they follow the comic serie..that black suit dont have stripes .....

If you look at the Ultimate Spider-Man, and movies seem to follow this storyline a lot, Brock is a skinny kid who is the same age as Parker. And sense Tobey and Topher look alike its perfect b/c Venom is like an evil mirror image of Spider-Man.

Why does the costume have to be exactly the same as in the comic? There are various differences in the original costume. Ex. Look at the back of Spidy's costume in #2, the big red spider is more like a Venom spider rather than the round fat spider thats in the comics.

Topher is Venom, several places have quoted Dunst as confirming it.

And that poster is Emo-liscious! I can't wait for the scene where Spidey whips out his lap-top and starts posting in his livejournal about having to deal with the super-villains and shit

I never cared much about spiderman. I loved the 1st movie, but the second was to dramatic for my taste. I really liked the razor-choppers goblin had in SM1

how this movie should go down:

Spidey gets the symbiote, gets rid of it, it merges with Brock, who hates Pete. It knows all about Pete, so Brock now knows all about Pete, and kills Aunt May and MJ. Harry blames Spider-Pete, and becomes the Green Hornet (it'd be SO MUCH cooler if he became the Green Hornet instead of the Green Goblin), goes after Pete, they fight, Pete doesn't want to kill his friend, Venom comes in and kills Harry. It'd be awesome

Here's my trilogy idea.


A bad guy steals some money, and gets away. Spiderman gets slightly injured but lives.

Awesome yes, but theres no chance they'd do it. Everything other than killing Aunt May and MJ could happen, but they'd never do that. To risky.

As for Harry, Im holding out hopoe that he modifies the suit and becomes...


http://www.samruby.com/Villains/Hobg.../Hobgoblin.gif

There's alreay rumors about that floating around, hopefully it happens. Green Goblin looked awful in the first one.

But why would they turn Harry into hobgoblin?

Sandman should be pretty cool...but venom...I dunno, they say he doesn't appear as the symbiote until the end of the 3rd film, leaving a fourth film being entirely open for just him in the 4th, but I'm not sure that'll happen.

They would change Harry to the Hobgoblin for 2 reasons:
1) Main stream audience won't accept a repeat villian, in other words the average movie goer would be board with a GG 2.
2) Hobgoblin gives the toy company an opportunity to market a new toy. Kids probably won't buy a second GG if they already have the GG from the first movie.

Eddie Brock is already going to show-up in #3, and it is highly likely that #3 will end with a tail ending leading into #4. The only reason they even did Sandman was b/c Sandman is Tobey's favorite villian.

ok, maybe not May, but MJ should bite it in this one

Check out sony's page for the movie, wonder why they show all those villians? Looks like in this movie or the next they will introduce the Sinister 6 (fingers crossed).

Oh GOD I hope not! That would be too much for the movies. Plus they would have to bring back Doc Ock b/c the Sinister Six is not the Six w/o Doc Ock. And to bring back Doc Ock would destory the type of character established in movie 2.

Also, I'm not a big fan of superhero movies that bring out multiple villians. i.e. the Batman movies, except for Batman Returns, they made that movie work.

Since everyone thinks that MJ will die consider this:

There is a rumor going around that there will be atleast 6 Spidy movies. More than likely if Dunst leaves the Spidy movies her career will bottom out and then she will want to return.
So more than likely MJ will leave b/c of a job offer or something and then come back in a later sequal. Personaly I don't care for a love triangle with MJ, Parker, and Stacey. A better triangle would be MJ, Parker, and Black Cat.
Who wouldn't love to see Black Cat on screen?

I can see them trying to put Pamela Anderson or some shit like that in the role....no thankyou.
The role would be interesting to put on film though, I mean a good guy/bad guy type storyline...Seems Gwen Stacy is a little pointless though...
I'd also like to see the lizard as a potential "starter" villain, since they already introduced connors in the last film. I can't see the lizard carrying the film as the main villain though...a good fight with him would be cool though.
