Hey, folks. Quint back with some new developments on Spidey 3... Now, I still believe the below spy saw what he/she/it saw, but he/she/it got a few things wrong... beware heavy, heavy spoilers for the second film below. I'm not kidding, think twice before continuing on...
I got contacted by a few people who claimed to have seen a rough cut of SPIDER-MAN 2 and they told me that MJ DOES NOT marry John Jameson in the sequel and they confirmed the long ago rumors that the movie ends with the set up of Harry Osborne picking up his father's suit to be the next Green Goblin. I've confirmed this with a friend who I know for a fact has seen the rough cut of the film, although this friend kept reminding me that they've done massive reshoots and reediting since the rough.
I've also heard that Raimi hates the character of Venom, but I do believe that Avi knows the fanbase for the symbiote and is trying to get him into the movie, which is what I think the original scooper saw.
Some other people have been pointing at Dr. Conners (aka the Lizard) and his involvement in the sequel... Well, count the Lizard out for the third film... He might be popping up for a later film, but check out this email below... it jibes with all the word I've heard as well.
Ahoy Quint,
With all this Spiderman news being thrown around I thought I'd throw my little bit of information in too. My sister is an actress in New York and she recently was in an off-Broadway show, Sea Of Tranquility, with Dylan Baker. After one of the shows my brother and I had a chance to talk to Dylan about his recent experience working on Spiderman 2, where he is going to make an appearance as Dr. Curt Conner. My brother, being the huge comic fan he is, immediately asked if the Lizard was going to make an appearance anytime soon. Dylan's response was that maybe in a couple of movies they would bring him on as the main bad guy. They just want to set him up as a character in the Spiderman movie universe so they have the option in later movies to bring him on. Not sure if this is really any news that people couldn't figure out on their own, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Cheers,
Dynamo
So, to Venom or not to Venom? I'd love to see it tackled onscreen, but if Raimi doesn't have the passion for the character, then I think the Arads need to back off (if they are indeed pressuring Raimi into the inclusion of the character) and let Sam make his passion. When Raimi is through with doing SPIDER-MANs, I'm sure there will be quite a few people who would jump at the bit to take on Venom with the respect the character would deserve. Right now, I'd bet my bottom dollar that we'll see Harry Osborne put on that damned suit... Which I think is a shame... It's much too early to start recycling villains, especially with such a deep and rich pool to draw from. Thanks to "logan", "Dynamo", and "Sr. Bobby".
Ahoy, squirts. Quint here with a helluva rumor. After speaking personally with this spy, I believe the below is 100% accurate... which leads to some serious questions, but I'll get to that after you read our scooper's report. Beware of spoilers from SPIDEY 2 below!!!
Dear Harry,
I've never contributed before but being an avid visitor of your site I felt this was my way of giving back a little. I'm sending you this because the last SPIDER MAN 3 news was absolutely and totally false. I was at the SPIDER MAN 1 Premier in Westwood, went to the party under the big top at the Veteran's Center on Wilshire and Federal ave, in West LA. So trust me , I know what I'm saying.
I worked at Sony while they were putting together the script for #2 and fleshing out the basic story for #3 and I tell you, the last guy who left that stupid stuff about Kraven and The Chameleon was totally wrong. This is exactly what will happen, may I be struck down and buggered by Clay Aiken and all of his claymates.....okay, here goes.
Spider Man 2 will leave off with a bit of a cliffhanger which will lead to #3, which will be friggin' AWESOME! Trust me, the villain WILL be VENOM. As you will see in #2 Mary Jane will marry J.J.Jameson's son who is an astronaut and planning to go up into space. This will pull Mary Jane away from Peter and in Peter's eyes keep her "safe".
Well hold on, while in space J.J. Jameson's son will be infected by some weird alien organism ( ala "Secret Wars #8" where Spider Man got the evil Black costume). The alien will travel back to earth with him and J.J. Jameson's son will either become VENOM or Peter will be infected with VENOM and go on a rampage.
Either way Spider Man will have to KILL J.J. Jameson's son/Mary Jane's husband in the end, which will bring Peter and Mary-Jane back together again. That's what I read as the summary of Spider Man #3, as you know they can change it, but from what I read, it will be Friggin' BAD ASS!!! You will be blown away, Sam really is the man when it comes to directing these things.
If you post this please call me .....Gary Oldman's #1 fan
I don't know how much I like this... I love the character of Venom... But Gary Oldman's #1 Fan made no mention of Eddie Brock. No Brock would mean no host that's pissed off at Peter Parker... Will Spider-Man still get the suit, then reject it, thus keeping the alien symbiote's hatred intact? Does New Line still have the Venom rights? Is that why they're going out of their way to change up the character, or is it just because?
Talking to Kraken, who's the most Venom obsessed friend I have, he informs me that this sounds like what they did in the SPIDER-MAN cartoon... Now, I don't mind JJ's son bringing the symbiote back with him, but why make him Venom? Isn't he Man-Wolf already?
Count me both excited and nervous. A fantastic Venom movie could be made, but without the cornerstones of his character Venom could be the next Bane and I most certainly don't want that. Just a word to the wise for the Arad's and Raimi... No Eddie Brock = pissed off fans. I'll keep my feelers out on this one, squirts. Hopefully Raimi will deliver an amazing, spectacular movie! Fingers crossed!
