Dan_Dare Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Tobey Maguire's emo fringe and George Clooney's nipples are one and the same. I hate the concept of Russian though... Like, smells so much of American irrational hatred of socialists. but he has nothing to do with Socialism! Kraven is all about the old Russian nobility and Tsars- he's a stinking rich aristocrat. He could have been from anywhere, really. He's Old Europe in a very Colonial mould- being Russian is very secondary to that and really is just an excuse to give him a quality name.
MadDog Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Anything will be better than Spider-man 3. ANYYYYYTHIIIIIIING. I thought Spiderman 3 was good...
Retro_Link Posted December 7, 2010 Author Posted December 7, 2010 Latest news... http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/113/1138462p1.html Spidey's New Villain The Lizard isn't the only baddie the wallcrawler has to watch out for. The Lizard won't be the only bad guy to give Spidey a hard time in Marc Webb's wallcrawler reboot. Heat Vision is reporting that Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire) will be playing a villain named Van Atter in the soon-to-be-shooting Spider-Man film. Rhys Ifans, of course, has already been cast as the Lizard. Who the heck is Van Atter, you ask? Good question. We here at IGN know us some Spider-Man, but Van Atter doesn't ring a bell. Badass Digest thinks they might know who it is, however. Brace yourself. "The Proto-Goblin was a character who appeared in one issue of a Spider-Man comic ever, a Flashback issue (a stunt when Marvel told 'untold tales' of characters)," explains Badass. The link being, apparently, that the character's real name was Nels van Adder. "The basic story is that he was an employee who was tested on by Norman Osborn before Osborn became the Goblin. George Stacey plays a role in that story; the reveal that Peter's parents were spies came from another Flashback issue. Could Webb's Spider-Man be pulling heavily from a couple of weird 1990s comic books?" Badass mentions Peter's folks because they're also in the movie: Campbell Scott (Damages) and Julianne Nicholson (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) are in talks to play the doomed Parkers, who after their deaths leave the future Spidey to be raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben. But still... Norman Osborn isn't in this new movie, right? Or is he... Oh, and Annie Parisse (Rubicon) has also come onboard as "the villain's wife." Which villain? It's not clear. So as of right now, we know even less about this film's story than we did a day ago.
Shorty Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Irrfan Khan and Rhys Ifans. Maybe this report from Heat Vision is just some bad Chinese whispers.
ReZourceman Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 So as of right now, we know even less about this film's story than we did a day ago. Why are IGN retards?
Paj! Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 This could be great. I need the film to evoke this visual style and then I can rest in peace and be gone.
Murr Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 3 Days into filming and they are already filming a funeral scene... Source - Comingsoon.net
Happenstance Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Yeah I was wondering if it was Peters parents or Uncle Bens funeral but with the police uniforms it does look like Captain Stacys. Im wondering if they'll have Gwen move in with the Parkers.
ReZourceman Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Seriously, I'm starting to get hyped about this movie. I think its going to be great and I don't think the 3D is going to be shit from what I've read.
Murr Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Since the actor first dropped hints about getting a role in the upcoming reboot via Twitter, speculation has run rife regarding exactly who it'll be that's he's playing, with Flash Thompson being the fasvourite. Since a few eagle eyed CBMers spotted Zylka in the below set picture, there has been suggestions that he actually looks more like Harry Osborn! Well, not according to The Wrap. Chris Zylka will play Flash Thompson, Peter Parker's high school nemesis in Marc Webb's "Spider-Man" reboot, an individual familiar with the project has confirmed to TheWrap. As I'm sure you already know, Flash Thompson character is a football player who is well known for bullying "Puny Parker," but also happens to be a great admirer of Spider-Man. Keep an eye out for him alongside Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Rhys Ifans, Irrfan Khan, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicholson and Annie Parisse all star in the untitled Spider-Man reboot which hits in 3D on July 3, 2012!

Tellyn Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Why are they looking for a new J Jonah Jameson for the reboot? JK Simmons was perfect, and it's not like carrying old actors across to rebooted films is a new thing, they did it with Judy Dench as M in the Bond series.
LegoMan1031 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Why are they looking for a new J Jonah Jameson for the reboot? JK Simmons was perfect, and it's not like carrying old actors across to rebooted films is a new thing, they did it with Judy Dench as M in the Bond series. I agree! He was most definatly perfect!
Retro_Link Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Personally I thought he got a bit annoying by the 3rd film, but then I don't know who'd be better so!
Paj! Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Yeah, one of the best parts of the films was Jonah (and Betty/the rest of the Daily Bugle scenes). Geuinely amusing/funny. But then again, I hate lack of clarity, so would rather they had a new one for this new film. I wonder what they'll call this film.
Retro_Link Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 ^ Me thinks these films will definately have names rather than numbers, so for the first one probably just, The Amazing Spiderman, or something.
LegoMan1031 Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 They could be really exciting and copy batman and call it... Spiderman Begins! lol
Paj! Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Spider-Man Starts has more of a ring to it. :p But yeah, I imagine it'll be The Amazing Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man etc. I'm interested to see what the costume will be like actually! I never liked how the other film one had tiny eyes. I don't like tiny-eye Spidey unless it's done intentionally in the comics to see creepy/and it works well. I prefer this kinda look: It fits better with the character. Edited December 10, 2010 by Paj!
Retro_Link Posted December 10, 2010 Author Posted December 10, 2010 Spider-man Begins... The Dark Spider (Venom)... The Dark Spider Returns (Black Suit)...
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 The Web Slinger is more of a Dark Knight copy. Both nicknames for them.
Murr Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Source - Comicbookmovie.com Not that exciting, Twilight hair much?
LegoMan1031 Posted January 5, 2011 Posted January 5, 2011 Fingerless gloves. Interesting. Makes it easier to 'play' with things while keeping your hands warm!
Retro_Link Posted January 5, 2011 Author Posted January 5, 2011 It slightly annoys me that he looks a bit like Andrew Murray.
