[Movie] Spider-Man 3

I'll just be pissed if they radically re-design the Venom suit (ie: no big white spider on the chest). Who knows, maybe it only looks different on Spidey, and when it's on Eddie it will be more like the comic.

I'm still pissed about using Topher Grace for Eddie Brock. It's Eric Foreman. Fuck. But I was hoping that they would hold off on Venom until SM4, building up the character more. But as long as they don't put more than one villain in the third movie (like rumors were saying, with Sandman or something) I'll be happy.

And if Venom has adequately spectacular CG, of course.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

God no. I would hate to see Carnage show up in the fourth movie...I mean, they need to establish Venom before they bring in any more symbiotes. maybe later on they could bring in Carnage, and then have Venom turn around and grudgingly partner up with Spiderman. But not by the fourth movie.

I'm thinking that they're going to have Green Goblin II/Harry Osborne (rumored to be turned into Hobgoblin instead of GGII) and Sandman be the focus of this third movie, with Eddie Brock there to get screwed by Spiderman at critical points. Meanwhile, Peter will be fighting himself with the new suit, and somehow while struggling with the suit he'll end up killing Gwen (that way at least he'll still feel guilt for that, even if it's in a different way). Then at the end, when there's nothing left of the other villains, I think the suit switch will happen and Venom will show up. But not 'til the very end.

And speaking of Venom/Brock, some pictures were posted of Topher Grace with his Brock hair (blonde):


I'm starting to get used to the idea of him playing Venom. I've heard rumors that he's bulked up (although how much is up for grabs, I've heard anywhere from 25-60 lbs) and with the different color of hair he's looking less like dweeby Foreman and more like...well...not Foreman.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

There's a good possiblity for this, since Kirstin Dunst is allegedly signed up for only three Spiderman movies. Or maybe that's just a rumor, like everything else. In any event, here's a picture of the girl that is in talks to play Gwen Stacy (according to Variety.com), Bryce Dallas Howard:



Can't find a picture of her as a blonde.

And I certainly hope that the writers don't try to do anything approaching the "Ultimate" Venom origin. I don't like the logo-less costume design nor the origin of the suit, but I have a bad feeling they're going to do something exactly like that for the movie version .

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Indeed! Topher looks a lot more sinister than he has before . But that godawful bottle-yellow hair on Topher... it actually looks like the comic book color, but in this case I don't know if that's a good thing:

He still looks a bit shrimpy for Brock, also.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well, it does mention on IMDB that Curt Connors/The Lizard is in SM3. Soooo...yeah. Not too happy about it, really. I love Venom, but even I don't want him in this movie until the absolute end (ie: just getting the costume and a sneak peak of what he looks like). But throwing in GG and Sandman? With the Lizard and possibly Venom? Did nobody learn anything from Batman Forever and Batman and Robin??

And Carnage just needs to stay out of this franchise altogether.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, last time I had checked IMDB, it listed somebody as "Kurt Connors/The Lizard" and only had Topher Grace listed as "Eddie Brock." Now, there's no sign of Kurt and Topher is now "Eddie Brock/Venom."
Never has IMDB's disclaimer, "Since this project is categorized as being in production, the data is subject to change; some data could be removed completely. been more true.
So...yeah. Who knows. I think that Connors will probably be in there as the doctor that Peter goes to for the symbiote removal, because I seriously doubt they'll bring in the cast of the FF for a guest appearance. And then they could introduce the audience to Connors in preparation for The Lizard in a future film.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

And the whole "running down the street, pulling open front of shirt to reveal suit" thing in the first movie . I couldn't believe how Superman-esque that was.

FELIPE NO

Now I am *so* excited about the movie. I got out of my 'Venom' phase many years ago, but the residual love for the character has made me all giddy over seeing it on the big screen. GIDDY. LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.

And I don't care if Venom is Marvel's whore (Because he is...that's what made me stop really bothering with the comics in the first place...), he's still an essential, integral part of Spider-Man's history and deserved the big-screen treatment, even without the 'proper' backstory. Even with Topher Grace as Brock I think I can handle it, by this point. At least he's not hideously ugly, as the original comic Brock was (not the later Fabio-esque Brock from the mini-series comics). Yes. Definitely looks good to me.

Did anyone notice what the GGII's outfit looked like? The glider is definitely different, and it appears that Harry is wearing something all black and a bit less armored (ie: Power-Rangery), more form-fitting compared to SM1's design:



Thank God. But I didn't see a clear shot of the face...there is a possibility it's just a half-mask, though. I only see green on the top of the face.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Spiderman in the black outfit is still Spiderman, but the symbiote that is the black suit screws with his mind and brings out the darker side of Parker, ie: he acts more agressive and does things that Peter would otherwise be too meek to do. He's more violent in his crime-fighting, and the suit takes Parker's body 'out for a drive' when he's asleep, with the symbiote in complete control of his actions.

Venom on Wikipedia might clear a few things up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The pointy teeth!
It's...interesting. Glad to hear that Venom will look like Venom, and not some odd 'just-for-the-movie-version' revamp. Of course, I won't put too much stock in anything yet.

I will still be disappointed if they make Venom have anything more than a small cameo within the last 20 minutes of the movie. I'm a huge Venom fangirl, but that doesn't mean I want them to stink up the film by cramming too much into one film. They better leave the ending wide open for a Venom vs. Spidey-centered sequel ...

Most amazing jew boots

Sorry for being a "Venom fan," but I like how that aspect of the story is starting to turn out. However, I don't want Venom to be in this movie, with all the other stuff that's going on. If he's just shown at the end, that's enough for me.

The CG looks crap, as many people have said. I really hope they polish it up quite a bit.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

HOT.
I know that it's Topher and everything, so they can't bulk Venom up too much, but he looks a little lithe in that shot . Whatever, I think the CG looks best in that sequence.

How ya doing, buddy?
