Spider-Man 3

Well, recently Rami (no e!) has been making mention of Elfman and his potential collaboration:

At the recent Comic-Con, Rami said "I haven't spoken with Danny but I am hoping that it will be Danny Elfman in conjunction with Chris Young."

My guess is that CY will use the established themes that DE wrote and that AE may come in to write new villain themes and leave the actual score and interacting with SR to CY.

Hmmm....interesting.

Does anyone remember the original Spider-Man teaser with the World Trade Center? It was pulled because of 9-11--Spidey traps some thugs in a web between the Twin Towers. I think it was also going to be a scene in the film.

Okay, here's some trailer news:

Squee!

Apparently, the WTC teaser was never going to be part of the film, but the rumor was so strong that you can't help but think it might have been intended.

It was a fantastically fun scene.

It was a fantastically fun scene.

I liked it too!

I wonder if it's on the DVD set. In my opinion it's like a piece of history--both cinematic and historical.

I also liked the part where all the New Yorkers attack Green Goblin from the Brooklyn Bridge.

"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!"

It's not on the DVD. There was hope, but it did never surface.

They put out a "deluxe" DVD and there was hope it would be on that, but nothing again.

Spidey 2 didn't have it either.

Perhaps one day, when they put out all 6 movies in a big box (that seems to be the "new trilogy" number of films studios are going for after Star Wars) we'll get revamped features and this could finally be included.

It's still on the internet some places. You just have to know where to look.

I found this on "Film Ick" Brendan Connely's blog. (I guess he's a blogger

)

Even more about Spider-Man 3. Getting sick of it yet?

Bryce Dallas Howard is out and about on the promo trail for The Lady in The Water. The first thing people are noticing is that she's a redhead again - the Spidey dye job washed away or, more likely, coloured over. I guess it would be an advantage for her to look as much like her appearance in the film she is plugging at the time, so I won't take it as confirmation that her days of Spider-Man 3 are over, maybe only that her hair is taking a bleach-assisted whipping for the good of the studio hype machine.

I particularly liked one quote from her interview on Zap2It.

"I have to say I had the most unbelievable time doing 'Spider-Man 3' because everyone who's involved with that film has so much integrity and their hearts are in exactly the right place and they only want to tell a story that's the most entertaining, that's the most moral story and, ultimately, the most artistically compelling, because they have opportunity here to make a movie that they know people will show up to, so they're like, OK, we're not gonna sit back here and just sorta ride this. We're gonna really push ourselves."

It was her noting how moral the story was that caught my eye. Of course "With great power comes great responsibility" is the heart of the Spider-Man ethos, and this third film really does play on that idea, but the idea that the Spider-Man stories are moral is all too often neglected. I was glad to hear it being raised.

Spider-Man 2 - one of the finest films ever made, certainly one of the finest genre films ever made - was morally complex, but honest and direct and true.

If this has been reported already many apologies!

Um, gee, that was reported a while ago, Vi.

Well, I don't know if it actually made the new page here. I just know that I read it at comingsoon.net ages ago.

Post by **ShyViolet** » September 13th, 2006, 8:00 pm

Um, I think it did. Reading it again I definetely had a a sense of deja-vu.
