Man-oh-man, this looks awwwwsome!!! It still feels like yesterday when I saw Spider-Man 2, and now the third one is on its way! Although this one has a pretty predictable plot (I'd say), I think this will probably be the best of the three films. From the looks of things, it seems like Raimi has finally touched on the darker side of the comics that I really loved. Hope they haven't went overboard with the villains though. FOUR?!

Interesting new info regarding Spidey 3

A few months back came some script spoilers from the upcoming third "Spider-Man" film, spoilers which lasted for all of half a day online before Sony forced the article's removal. Now similar spoilers have gone online over at filmick and highlight the context of many of the shots in the trailer (SPOILERS AHEAD). No word how long they'll stay online but they do sound cool and very ambitious.-darkhorizons.com

I doubt anyone from Sony is hanging around the rumor board, so I decided to post this here.

Spoilers

Amongst the revelations:

- Before getting on Peter, the symbiote (the black oil substance) has a rather 50's sci-fi origin (ala The Blob)

- In a church bell tower, Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) follows this black Spidey character and sees Peter ripping himself free of the suit - some of which falls onto Brock, causing him to "become" Venom.

- For most of the film, Spider-Man is in pursuit of The Sandman. Harry as the Goblin (sans mask) fights Peter early on and returns at the end to aid him in the final confrontation with Sandman and Venom at a construction site.

- "Dark Spidey, as it were - Peter before he has overcome Venom - is the one who courts Gwen Stacey. Problems in the relationship with MJ, as well as professional issues compound to bring him down. Even downer than last time. That's how Raimi, Sargent and co are using Venom - as a dramatic device to show Peter not just giving up on his great responsibility, but getting drunk on his great power."

- There are scenes inside Curt Connor's lab, where he studies the symbiote, and these scenes are also used to set up the research that will, in the character's story - though not in this movie - turn him into The Lizard.

- The Black Cat does not make any significant appearance in the film, despite existing, on paper, in various earlier conceptions.

- And the fourth villain? "Makes only a fleeting appearance - Bruce Campbell's character this time around is Quentin Beck, known to fans of the comic as Mysterio".

It does looks pretty good, like a Spidey fans wet dream. Next May seems like overkill for a film that seems complete.

Quoted from Nixon - And the fourth villain? "Makes only a fleeting appearance - Bruce Campbell's character this time around is Quentin Beck, known to fans of the comic as Mysterio".

Oh... mm.. get me a towel.

Quoted from Old Time Wesley Next May seems like overkill for a film that seems complete.

Yeah, it wasn't THAT long ago that the cameras started rolling, and yet look at all the scenes they've already covered. I was surprised at how much Raimi has shot. I wasn't really looking forward to this film, I was kind of disappointed with the second one, but I really think this one will be the best of the three.

I was kind of disappointed with both of the first two films...I liked them about the same. But I am really looking forward to this.

It'll be my first Spiderman film seen in theaters. Woot.

Next time somebody says woot I will delete the post. It just annoys me so much for no reason.

Anyway that out of the way I have made my feelings clear on the first two films and how I think if you watch them side by side you're watching the same recycled movie two times marketed with a new bad guy but still the same movie twice.

I do love Spiderman enough to give the third a chance and to enjoy both the first ones to a certain extent. Mindless entertainment, gotta love it.

WireImage has uploaded four pages of photos from the June 30th Spider-Man 3 shoot in New York that give away one of the big twists in the anticipated third installment.

Wow. It isn't dark? It's 11:20 pm here. We finished off our fireworks a while ago.

Back on topic: The pictures look cool though most of them were the same.

Sony Pictures has updated the official website for Spider-Man 3 with the first photo of Venom.

There's a countdown!

Wahoo!  I can't wait!

2 hrs and 42 min    YAY

Hopefully, we’ll finally get a good look at Venom. Completely transformed. Maybe a few seconds of a fight scene between him and Spider-Man? That would make my day, maybe even my month.
