Spider-Man 3
 

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."

"I think we have ... I'm going to say two and a half bad guys," the "Elizabethtown" star said. "Because I think one of them is resurrected. But yeah, two and a half bad guys, I think, about in this movie."

She is referring to Thomas Haden Church playing Sandman and Topher Grace playing Venom in the film, with the identity of the "half" villain unknown at this time, but it could possibly be Harry Osborn turning into Green Goblin II or Hobgoblin.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Spider man kicks ass so does VENOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spiderman 2 was great. Hope 3 will be better.

Venom sure will kick ass!!!!

DAMN RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! He fucking owns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!1:D :D :D

Topher Grace as Venom. What!? That is, quite possibly, the worst miscasting ever.

Sam Raimi's done such a great job with Spider-man 1 and 2. I'm 100% positive he couldn't mess up 3. Great series, I'm really looking forward to this.

Topher Grace as Venom?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH A

In all seriousness, this is going to be a kickass movie. So long as they arent serious about Mr. Grace.

Great to see Venom on the list!
Who is Topher Grace?

He's on the 70s Show in the States. Since you're in Denmark, I imagine you probably haven't seen it. No big loss, trust me. Grace is a scrawny, wormy, nerdish looking fellow. In other words, the complete opposite of Venom/Eddie Brock.

Venom is going to be great, but he is totaly out of place with Sandman and a possible Goblin. Personaly I say do one or the other not both. If Rami wanted to do 2 villians do Venom and Carnage b/c at least they would make sense together, I know that Venom and Carnage hate each other but the story would move more logicly I think.

With this combination (Sandman, Venom, and Goblin) I fear Rami may screw this movie up.

Re: Spider-Man 3
 

...Hobgoblin i hope...but if Sam Raimi turns him into a plastic looking asshole like he did with Green Goblin,... i will personaly come over there an hack him to pieces..

Re: Re: Spider-Man 3
 

Totally agreed!!! :mad:

Thats what they said about Michael Keaton as Batman.
Topher Grace has proven himself a good actor in other movies.....we shall see.

Still, Venom/Brock should be muscled....it'll take a hell of alot to make that kid look muscular enough. Oh well, I cant imagine him being any good...but you never know I guess.


And I do agree that 3 villains might not be the greatest idea. Venom and Hobgoblin could work, but with Sandman in the mix it'd just be crowded and confused. Once again however, you never know....Im psyched for it anyway:D

the best parts of the Spider Man movies are the cameos from Bruce Campbell

I love kristen Dunst

Re: Re: Re: Re: Spider-Man 3
 

This cartoon picture looks far more "real" than the "power ranger" shaped moving green statue in the 1st movie. :cool:

Hob Goblin is a fantastic character, which should be elaborately and skillfully drawn, successfully animated. So must Venom. We shall see... :)

Grace as Venom seems to be a 98 pound weakling turns into vengeful superbeing sort of thing. If he's playing Brock differently as a more repressed, awkward type who can't deal with his anger, than the symbiote will be very welcoming, and make for a pretty scary transformation. Eddie Brock might be a big bruiser, but it's more important that he gets screwed over and gets so mad he can't take it anymore. Venom is an insidious and creepy entity as well as a destructive counterpart to Spiderman. In this case, I think Grace might be an interesting interpretive choice. Now, the utter lack of acting ability might however be a wall. And Sandman's a C list villain. I was hoping Doc Connors would be turning into the lizard. But, on the plus side, bringing in Venom now allows for Carnage in number 4. Cillian Murphy as Cletus Cassidy would be awesome.

Friggin amazing idea!

Re: Re: Spider-Man 3
 

That was the only real problem I had with the first movie. Just terrible. Now, I loved just about everything about the second one. So really looking forward to the third one.

This idea wins the internet. Murphy would be perfect as Carnage. I've given it a little more thought, and I'm willing to be open-minded about Grace as Venom. The idea is still totally weird and hard to accept, but I'll reserve judgement until after a viewing, as always.

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's a full body suit...Grace doesn't have to be the one in it.

Power Rangers - Green Ranger :p

From what I know about Ultimate Spider-Man, the movies tend to follow this comic line a little more so than the original comic books. I don't know what the Eddie Brook in Ultimate looks like but if he's a skinny guy and then when he becomes Venom he gets buff then Topher Grace should be fine for the part. I think that Grace might be able to pull off a evil obsessive attitude like the realy Brook. But there is a problem, Grace looks like he's about the same age as Tobey, and as I recall Brook is a few years older than Parker???

IESB talked to Kirsten Dunst (aka Mary Jane Watson in the "Spider-Man" films) at this weekend's "Elizabethtown" junket and she said she will start filming Spider-Man 3 in January:

Q: Are you doing anything special to prepare for this one?

A: I do have to take lessons in two different things. But I can't say because I would give it all away.

Q: Is this really going to be the last one for you?

A: Yeah, unless they pay me an exorbitant amount of money. (laughing) Well if there is more story to tell and Sam Raimi is on board and everyone is then maybe but this is what I am signed to do... three.

That's what the makeup artist gets paid for.

So what if Topher is scrawny...so was Tobey before he was SPIDERMAN.
You can work wonders with protein shakes and 5 hour aday weight-lifting...who knows...Topher may be Hulkish now.

and say that 10x fast..tophertobey tophertobey tophertobey.:D

Take any prize on the top shelf:D

I heard Danny Elfman won't do any new music for the third movie because Raimi apparently was acting like a "new person" during the second flick.

...which means he was being an asshole.

I read this as well. :mad: And that bugs the hell out of me. Seems the success of the Spiderman films has gone to someone's head. Oh well, it happens. No less disappointing though.

The attitude sucks, but you can't blame Sam Raimi for really digging having a budget to work with and a Pullitzer prize winning author working on your screenplay. Anybody who has Michael Chabon doctoring one of their scripts and a multimillion dollar budget after such a humble beginning will be putting on some airs. By the way, is Michael Chabon going to be aboard on 3? The guy writes the only lit fic I can stomach nowadays.

April 4, 2005

Looks like Elfman will follow suit with John Dykstra (who left Spidey3 earlier this year) and take his leave from the Spider-Man franchise. Composer Danny Elfman has cued up much work for 2007 (the year of Spider-Man 3's anticipated release), including the rumor of scoring the movie adaptation of the adventures of the superheroine: Wonder Woman.

After much creative differences between Sam Raimi and Danny Elfman
during the post-production of Spider-Man 2, Raimi brought in other composers to complete the unfinished score. One of those composers was Christopher Young, and according to sources close to Raimi and Elfman, it appears that Young will be hired for the job. (on Spidey3)

Elfman is currently working on: The Corpse Bride & Charlie and The Chocolate Factory for Tim Burton.
Read more on the forums at Elman.FilmMusic.com

I'm kinda glad Elfman is not scoreing the movie b/c if you go and listen to his other scores they all sound the same, Batman, Spider-Man, Men in Black, Hulk. Seriously listen to the opening score for hulk and then listen to the opening score for Spider-Man. There are parts that sound the same. Don't get me wrong, I like Elman's sound but I think a change might be nice. Well I take that back, when I think about the score for Spider-Man it really fit the movie well. Crap, Rami might be screwing this movie already!:(
