Spider-Man director Sam Raimi told SCI FI Wire that Sony Pictures plans to make six of the comic-inspired films, and that he'd consider helming them if he feels as strongly about them as he does the upcoming third installment. "I've heard Amy Pascal [chairman of Sony's motion picture group] say she wants to make six Spider-Man pictures," Raimi said in an interview at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles. "So I think she's a woman of her word. And if she says there'll be six, there'll be six. ... If they were to ask me, and if I felt as passionate as I feel now about the character and had this great hunger and desire to tell the story, which I really do now, you couldn't keep me away from it."
Raimi said the upcoming third Spider-Man film will in part chart Peter Parker's (Tobey Maguire) interior journey as he deals with his feelings about the death of his beloved Uncle Ben.
"The task that I had was to try and understand where he was when we last left him ... at the end of Spider-Man 2, trying to figure out what he lacked as a human being, as far as where he was immature and what he had not learned," Raimi said. "And certainly there's so much for that kid to learn. He really has been denied a social life. He's just been focused on being this do-gooder. And never really even dealing with the death of his uncle, just paying down his guilt with every criminal he brings to justice, never really addressing his own guilt that he feels in his heart and coming to terms with it. He's never really looked inside himself. So I think this picture ... he's going to have [to] look a little more inside himself and recognize and deal with some of the deficiencies that he has as a human being."
Thomas Haden Church (Sideways) will play a new as-yet-unidentified villain who is appropriate to that emotional journey, Raimi added. "We had to choose a villain that represented a proper obstacle in the path of that growth," Raimi said. "And so, though I'd rather not say who Thomas Haden Church is playing just yet—because Sony likes to make a proper presentation to the fans along with Avi Arad from Marvel Comic books—he was chosen because he represented that proper obstacle to ... Peter Parker's growth." Spider-Man 3 is in preproduction now.
I dont think its an old article, i just think its new being rehashed and actually addressed my Raimi himself this time.
Raimi isnt worried about being typecast. As what... hes done Spider-Man AND Evil Dead.. so he cant be typecast knowing his range as a director is so wide he can be succesful with most any material he feels strongly about.
If it isn't Sandman, it has to be Venom...i mean, c'mon, who has interfered with PARKER'S GROWTH more than Venom and Brock and the symbiote? Others affect Spider-Man more than Parker...come on...Venom...come on!! lol
Gender: Male Location: somewhere looking for trouble
I think he should fight two guys...you know fight the both twice then fight them at the same time in the big final fight. A new made for movie bad guy..hell nall! spidey gots too many great villians to just make up a villian I mean Venom, Electro, Scorpion, Spider Slaylers, Rhino,Shocker, Mysterio, Kraven (who I think such but could be made cool), Hydro Man, Black Cat just to name a few. Spider man wouldn't need a new made for the movie masses villian he got like 20 to 30 great ones..they gotta start putting 2 villians in a movie..I mean I want to see as many as I can on the big screen before I go and see uncle ben if you know what I"m saying.
