And who will be Uncle Ben in SPIDER-MAN'

Hey folks, Harry here... One of my key sources that has been giving me Correct information for months on SPIDER-MAN has just fed me the info on who seems to be in... in the role of Ben Parker... Uncle Ben. Well, he won the Academy Award in 1969 for Best Actor in the fantastic film CHARLY. He's played everything from the President to Hugh Hefner to Generals and Commanders.... he's been a foil of the Adam West BATMAN and was on the original ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, OUTER LIMITS and THE TWILIGHT ZONE... He faced off with Snake Plisskin and tried to get the Condor to come home. My favorite line of his in history is, "HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY'LL PRINT IT?"







I am, of course, talking about Cliff Robertson. He was born in 1925 and I feel he is an excellent choice for Uncle Ben... and suddenly it would be cool to see Kim Novak as Aunt May... hehehehe... Like I said, this source has been with AICN from the beginning.... Let's see how long it takes to get confirmations. I'd bet on this one though...
