Spider-Man 3 Major news!

Spider-Man 3 secrets revealed!
Posted on Thr, 8-Sep-2005

Many have been speculating/guessing/assuming what characters Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church are playing in "Spider-Man 3". Most recently, the majority agreed that one - or possibly both, which would make sense? - will be donning the name-tag 'Chameleon'. Not so, says Freeze Dried Movies (http://www.freezedriedmovies.com/news/index.php?Action=Full&NewsID=3355), who have got to the bottom of the 'which villains are they playing?' conundrum.

According to the site, Grace will play the character of 'Venom', and Haden Church will be playing 'Sandman'. Done. Finished. All-Clear. The puzzle be solved, y'hear?

In addition, there's a third villain in the film. James Franco, who plays in the previous films, transforms into Hobgoblin (not the Green Goblin II, as he was in the comics) sometime in the next instalment.

Thanks to 'Brad'

Tophere Grace as Venom.BAH! Another actor put to play the character wrong.

[Primal]

Why the hell do we need multiple villains for a spidey film? Each of those characters could carry their own film.

[Tony Coca]

Because this may as well be the Last spiderman movie so they are going all out.

And why Topher Grace as Venom. :confused2

Don't agree. Sandman is a thug. Not necessarily that intelligent a character that would have a good backdrop story to make the whole movie interesting IMO. I think the Sandman would be a good 10-15 min introductory to Spidey 3. Good special effects in a fight, Spidey defeats him, and then off to the rest of the movie with a good plot and nasty villian.

Ok Guys, hear me out. I think Topher as Venom COULD work. I'm thinking they are changing the character a bit, and since Venom in essense is a "bad" version of Spider-Man they probably will focus on: "what if a dorky guy got superpowers, but he didn't have a person to guide him (uncle Ben)?" Topher will be playing a Spider-Man who abuses his superpowers. I think with that angle, it could work.

For that call him Carnage.

[VenoM]

Are you kidding me??? Topher Grace to play Eddie Brock!?!?! What the hell is Sam Raimi doing??? :banghead: There better be some MAJOR special effects to pull this off. :redface:

Im with you man...
I think it can work...
And i like Topher..
he should do a fine job...

[MiamiLoco]

What are you talking about?! The Carnage host, Cassidy, was a MAJOR messed up Phsyco serial killer, not some "Geek."

[MiamiLoco]

Yeah, but in general, Eddie Brock IS a pretty boring character. His conflict with the Symbiote is pretty interesting, but as a character, Brock was boring, he just seemed like he was on 'Roid Rage 24/7!! This way, by making the Venom host a GEEK, there could be a nice comparison/contrast with that OTHER Geek who has powers (Peter Parker).

[Primal]

Who do u think are the ones that go postal? :laugh:

[Perna]

Visually, Topher doesn't suit the part, but I'm curious to see how they handle it. If they do make him the "Mirrored image" of Peter/Spidey, then I think it would work. Venom doesn't have to be a super bulked up guy in the film for it to work.

This is not the last spider man movie.

The group at sony already have a total of 3 more for a total of 6 spider man moives already being made.

After the 3rd movie, the whole cast will be swaped out so no toby or Kirsten for the parts.

No damn you.Keep the characters true to the comic.

[Tony Coca]

To hell with Topher Grace as Venom.

Here is my Choice.

[Wolverine1]

They are setting up a part four Sinister Six.

[Tony Coca]

They are setting up a part four Sinister Six.
yeah.That wont happen.

Honestly, I always pictured Howie Long as Eddie Brock.

[Tony Coca]

Honestly, I always pictured Howie Long as Eddie Brock.
One big difference between Howie and AMH.AMH can act.

[Tony Coca]

Nah thats the guy giving you a hound rub. :laugh:

[Perna]

You didn't like him in Broken Arrow? What about those t.v. commercials with Terri Hatcher?

[Tony Coca]

You didn't like him in Broken Arrow? What about those t.v. commercials with Terri Hatcher?
Bah.He could barely play football.

[VenoM]

They are setting up a part four Sinister Six.
Yeah, I don't think so...that would suck! :thumbsdow What, they don't have enough Spiderman Villains to make each one have their own movie? This is NOT X-MEN.

[Perna]

Bah.He could barely play football.
Damn, you went and made Howie cry.

[MiamiLoco]

I think the reason they started putting more than one villain in "Super Hero" films is because of "Batman Returns." Which is Ironic, since there was only ONE villain in that film, The Penguin. Catwoman was kind of "in-between" but everyone called her a "Villain."

yep and also Batman Begins had 2 villains.

ScareCrow & Azgul

[MiamiLoco]

Well that was WAYYY after "Batman Returns."

[J Storm]

Honestly, I always pictured Howie Long as Eddie Brock.

Him, I always pictured Brock Lesnar having the physical look to be Venom.

[Nightcrawler777]

I always thought the Rock would be Good...

[Primal]

The Rock couldnt act his way out of a paper bag.

[J Storm]

Sorry, the Scorpion King cant be convincing as Venom...and as a wrestler too :eplus2:

[Tony Coca]

Brock Lesnar will be good for Bat-Man as Bane.

[Nightcrawler777]

Brock Lesnar will be good for Bat-Man as Bane.


He's Already Got the Creepy Smashed In Ears....

[J Storm]

Then let's see what other actors would play Venom...Topher Grace is a joke

[wolverinejedi007]

This could work as long as they use CGI to make Venom and not have Topher in a black spiderman costume. I did read that he was trying to bulk up for this role. Tobey did it why cant he???

Of course I would have liked to see someone else in the role, perhaps Chris Masters from the WWE...

[Wolverine1]

yeah.That wont happen.
Why not the sinister Six, would it cost to much or do you think it would just Suck?

[DDura711]

Forman should be Carnage over Venom and Lloyd should be Venom.
How the hell is Forman Venom. That's just STUPID. :banghead:

[DDura711]

Oooooh you know I'd love to see Steve Buchemie as Carnage. Or maybe the guy that placed Scarecrow in Batman.

[Tony Coca]

Why not the sinister Six, would it cost to much or do you think it would just Suck?
I just said Nah cause they wont be a fourth spiderman.Would look cool but what incarnation of the Sinister 6.

[Primal]

Oooooh you know I'd love to see Steve Buchemie as Carnage. Or maybe the guy that placed Scarecrow in Batman.
Interesting...how about Gary Sinise as Carnage?

Electro.

I think Venom is the right villian for SM3. As far as the actor, who knows.

What the hell is Sam Raimi doing? He's busy making the 3rd "sure to be a hit" massive Spiderman blockbuster. I surely trust his judgement on how to make a movie and who to cast in the roles more than a bunch of comic geeks on a statue forum.:banghead:

From a Spiderman perspective he's batting 2 for 2 in my opinion.:thumbs2:

agreed , sandman not the most interesting character to hold the audiences attention for that long.
maybe the last installment could be a sinister six story line :buttrock:

[Wolverine1]

I thought they were shooting three and four back to back.

[Tattoo-X]

I know, I know - if I don't like it, don't read it....ignore it/don't post.

Anyway, here we go again.
This is JMO, which I'm sure every one else is only stating theirs.

I'm just tired of movies being put down before they are seen. Now before a preview is shown.

Set down the comics. It's a movie. It's a different medium. Comics and novels usually don't transfer to the big screen well.

Remember, we've had a tall Wolverine, no webshooters, Rogue without flight and strenghth, etc. So, now an average size guy playing Eddie Brock. Remember, the bulk of Venom is the Symbiote.

Marvel and Hollywood is out to make $$$$$. It doesn't matter what a bunch of comic guys think. We're a small percentage of the movie going audiance.

How about trying this. Put down the comics, back away from the computer, close your month, sit back and enjoy a film for a change.

Just a thought. :)

I find some of these comments to be both hurtful and extremely accurate. :bawling:
