Happenstance Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 During an interview this weekend promoting Elizabethtown, Kirsten Dunst confirmed rumors to Zap2it that Thomas Haden Church will play Sandman and Topher Grace is Venom in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3, opening in theaters on May 4, 2007. "We have really great people though as the villains in this film, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman," said Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Watson in the Spidey films. "Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that," she added before reversing her claim. "It's the other way around. You're right," she conceded to a journalist. Dunst has yet to receive a script for the third film that will begin shooting in January. "But I know the general story. There's a lot that they're trying to fit into this one." Taken From Superherohype Well if Topher Grace is gonna be Venom it looks to me like they will be going more along the lines of Ultimate Eddie Brock. He's more of a skinny guy before he bonds with the Venom suit. I also think they'd have the suit built on Earth like in the Ultimate Universe rather than having it come from space as I cant see Raimi bringing it from space somehow.
er-no Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 *averts his eyes* 'SHE'S ONLY FOURTEEN YEARS OLD' As for the film... Spiderman 2 was fantastic, more of the same with the Sandman, that'll be fantastic. But obviously, the Green Goblin is back as well.. could be interesting.
RoadKill Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 In that picture she's only 14, unfortunately she grew up.
Charlie Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I heard that she got her tits out in a film when she was only 16 - any truth in this?
er-no Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I heard that she got her tits out in a film when she was only 16 - any truth in this?# Damned if you do... damned if you don't. She probably did... I've heard this on tv as well but I've no idea on the film.
The3rdChildren Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Nice. Spiderman 3 is one of the movies I seek to see desperately, so news that neat villains will be appearing is certainly good news. Plus... 14 or not, that lass is hot.
soag Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 All good news , been waiting for news on this for quite a while, shame Doc Ock wont be coming back he kicked so much ass in the last movie plus hes always been my fave villan in the spiderman universe. Yes the Hobgoblin should be in this movie too as its all set up at the end of part 2, the sandman and Venmon should be great if done right espically good ald Venmon. Is it true its only going to be in the words of Matt Damon "A 3 movie trilogy" :p, if so it will be a shame as there is so many great badguys that deserve a place in the movies like Electro, Rhino, Vulture, Mystrio etc etc. If I was Rami id make a forth movie with the Sinister 6starring as the main bad guys.

Ashley Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Please actually discuss the news and not post underage pictures. My PC is currently with the police because my brother did just that -_-
kopo Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 I heard Sonic and Mario were secret characters
Haver Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 SAWEET. I can't wait for the trailer. They're usually better than the main feature itself.
Dan_Dare Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 VenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenomVenom. in other news: Venom. ah its good to finally know he's in it, ive known sandman to be in it for a while since ign reported the camera tests for sand visuals. should be pretty cool so see how they do him but i dont know much about him in the comics other than the ace cakes 'revenge of the sinister six' graphic novel i have. on the subject of the origins of the venom suit/alien, wasn't the alien form brought home by John Jamerson, who is in spiderman 2. it wouldnt be hard to do a very brief intro scene where a shuttle lands with venom on board. given the films tendency towards mad scientist origins, however, the ultimate timeline idea would fit nicely.
RoadKill Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 Let me re-iterate there is nothing illegal about the picture I posted and you guys reactions are fucking hilarious. Wow don't watch TV, some of the people on it are under 16, oh holy shitting christ that's totally illegal! Man you guys are ridiculous sometimes.

No that was only in the 90s cartoon. In the actual comic history Spider-Man got the suit during the secret wars on a different planet. They would never do it that way thats for sure. Only way I can see is the 90s cartoon way you mentioned or the Ultimate Spider-Man way in which the suit is made in a lab (in USM its made as a cure for cancer)
Retro_Link Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 This is AWESOME news!!! Sandman and Venom will make AMAZING badguys!!! So no Black Cat in Spiderman 3 then!; there were alot of rumours suggesting she would be (and females being talked about for the part). I have no doubt that she will make an appearance in a future Spiderman film; as they are bound to have a female 'baddie' in there at some stage! Lizard was also a tipped badguy and that would have been cool; Rhino or Scorpian would have also made great choices IMO (hopefully in the future)! I am SOOOOO glad Kraven the hunter isn't a bad guy as that was also rumoured and i feal it would have been a complete waist of a choice! I think Harry will come back as The Green Goblin right at the end of Spiderman 3! Is it true its only going to be in the words of Matt Damon "A 3 movie trilogy" :p, if so it will be a shame as there is so many great badguys that deserve a place in the movies like Electro, Rhino, Vulture, Mystrio etc etc. If I was Rami id make a forth movie with the Sinister 6starring as the main bad guys.What's Matt Damon got to do with the films??Anyways, i did here that the Spiderman series of films was going to run for a while, maybe going up to 5 & 6 etc... and i have to say that if the keep producing them in as great quality as the first two films (and the badguys in '3 should make for another great movie), i'm all for that!!
Meik Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 That picture would be totally hot. It's a shame she's 4 years too old in it.
RoadKill Posted September 27, 2005 Posted September 27, 2005 That picture would be totally hot. It's a shame she's 4 years too old in it. Fair enough.. I think she looks perfect as is in that photo.
Owario Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 People can't help what they are attracted to, and there was nothing illegal about that picture, so quit bitching. Venom? Sweet. I'm guessing Green Goblin 2 and Carnage for Spidey 4 then.
Shorty Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 The original Green Goblin was killed of straight away, could be replaced by Harry as the next Green Goblin, so no need to worry about that. Doc Ock could be back I guess... who says Venom will die? I'm interested to know whether Venom will be a suit with crazy powers like in the comics, or if they turn it into something more technology based to make it more plausible.
Hellfire Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Venom for the win!! It's going to be pretty interesting to see how Venom and Sandman turn out visually, since they'll probably be so dependent on CG. I enjoyed Spider Man2, hope this one is at least as good.
Mr_Odwin Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 something more technology based to make it more plausible. We're still talking about a film where a genetically modifed spider bites sombody and they are given special spidey powers? I'm excited for this, I liked the second film more than the first so hopefully this will continue the trend. Is it the same director? I hope it is yet can't be bothered to go to google.
Happenstance Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 Yeah its still Sam Raimi for no.3 As for more Spider-man movies, Sony have said they want them made but its still unknown if Maguire, Dunst and Sam Raimi will be involved with them
Mr_Odwin Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Dunst I could do without, but Maguire totally suits the part and Raimi has done a stellar job so far.
