Hey folks, Harry here with the first report from Columbia University about THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN setting out work there... and guess what? Curt Connors was there!!!! hehehhehe, here we go...
Dear Harry,
As a longtime reader of this site I'm pleased to finally be able to send you a semi-bit of a scoop. Being a student at the Columbia University on my way to the subway I passed by college walk to notice that there was a lot of film equipment being hauled along the way. I asked a cremen what they were shooting and was promptly told "Law and Order" but I knew better. Anyway, further inquiry revealed that yes they were shooting Spider-Man 2. Nice to see another on location shoot at the university again (after all it was the site in the first movie where Peter first encounters Norman Osborne). Anyway security was making everyone pretty tight lipped and all I could get was that they were just filming Tobey Maguire walking through the quad (or so they alleged). Later after shooting stopped (it took them a long time to set up and by that time friends had pressed me to leave to see Anger Management, an enjoyable though by no means perfect comedy) I ran into Dylan Baker (a very nice guy) hanging out by the trailers. That's right Curt Connors himself (though he seemed to have both his arms surprisingly, probably he'll have only one in the film).
I introduced myself said I was a big fan of "Happiness", which indeed I am, and asked him if he was gonna be the Lizard in the film. He said "no I'm just a guy in this one" but he had a smile on his face. Plus the sound of "this one" sounds promising. Anyway, they are shooting again tomorrow and there seems to be a very positive general air around the set. I hope this movie will be as good if not better than the first. Maybe hold back on posting this until later. I'll try to get more info and contact you then.
