I plan to be entertained by the way in which they incorporate the Venom symbiote into the storyline without sending our Tobey off to the Secret Wars.

Are they going to use this tagline for the film? They should.

n the 2002 film Spider-Man, it is mentioned that a Daily Bugle photographer named "Eddie" hasn't been able to get a good photo of Spider-Man. Presumably this is Eddie Brock, and in the novelization of the film Eddie actually has a cameo and is mentioned by his full name, with J. Jonah Jameson unwittingly making an ironic allusion to Venom by screaming "Next time, get a decent suit!". Brock was set to be played by R.C. Everbeck and a cameo role was filmed, but was cut during production.

In various interviews with the actors of the upcoming 2007 film Spider-Man 3 - such as Thomas Hayden Church - Venom's name has repeatedly been included as one of the movie's villains. While this has yet to be officially announced by Sony, it is widely speculated that he will be played by confirmed cast member Topher Grace. This is in spite of the fact that Sam Raimi has previously expressed a dislike of Venom, going so far as to say that he would not appear in a movie that Raimi would direct. Promotional images later confirmed the presence of the black costume in the film, and the teaser trailer shows the costume to be a living, liquid creature which Peter attempts to dispell within a belltower, just as in the comics. Whether or not the costume is an alien being remains to be seen.

Hahaha "whether or not the costume is an alien, as a result of it, there will be dinosaurs"

I guess we know who's playing the Silver Surfer, then.

David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Venom is some of the dumbest shit ever. Its weird, despite my affection for Raimi, I really hated the first Spider-Man movie, so much so that I didn't see the second.

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got it on DVD, if you wanna come over on the weekend.

Huk-L (Huk-L), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

They've been filming all over NYC the past few weeks, including down the street from my apartment and in front of my office building and in front of the courts downtown. Unfortunately, haven't been around during shooting to try out pickup lines on Kirsten Dunst.

Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

The suit story didn't originally include Venom, did it? The suit just tried to form a symbiosis with Peter (I don't think it was even evil), he got rid of it, and it found the other guy to host it years later. I think the film would have too much going on if it would feature the suit, Sandman, the new Green Goblin and Venom. Hopefully Venom'll wait until episode 4.

ive seen photos, and peter parker looks like he's gone goth.

there has always been a goth element to peter parker, he can be quite the 'creep'

Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, Raimi-Parker is actually more emo than mainline comics-Parker, like that was even possible.

Headspin (Barima), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

I hope Green Goblin's suit is GREEN and rubbery this time, that metal thing in #1 was (not the right kind of)ridiculous.

tremendoid (tremendoid), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

the Goblin in general is a totally ridiculous and heavily dated character, but yeah that metal abomination in the first movie put me right off it.

The Alien Costume
[In the Secret-Wars] Spider-Man found himself on a satellite in a galexy far from Earth. Along with other super heroes, such as Captain America, and super villains, including Dr. Doom, Spidey was brought to the satellite by a near-omnipotent being called the Beyonder. The Beyonder wanted heroes and villains to fight a war on a planet called Battleworld. [There] Spider-Man fought many battles and his costume was left in tatters then he found a machine that could replace ruined clothing. SPider-Man triggered the clothing machine and a round black object sprang from it. It immediately started to spread up Spidey's arm, and didn't stop until it covered his entire body.

After defeating the villains and escaping the Beyonder, the heroes returned to Earth, and Spider-Man took his alien costume with him. The alien costume always seemed to know what Peter wanted, sometimes even before he did. He learned that his new supersuit was capable of generating a seemingly endless supply of webbing, and that it could also change its appearance at will. Peter and his alien costume were always in some kind of psychic contact, even when physically seperated. If the costume was in a different room, it came [slithered] at Peter's summons. [However] each night while Peter slept, the alien costume secretly slipped over him and took the unconscious Spider-Man wall-crawling at night. The web-swinger awoke each morning with no memory of his nocturnal adventures. All he knew was that he felt more exhausted before he had gone to bed.

As Peter's fatigue continued to grow he slept through the entire day and began to have terrible nightmares. So Spider-Man went to Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four) for help. After an exhaustive series of tests, Mr. Fantastic made a startling pronouncement. Instead of an amazing suit made of some unknown extraterrestrial fabric, Spidey's new costume was actually a living creature. It was a sentient symbiote who had formed a mental and physical bond with the Web-Slinger.

As soon as the symbiote's secret was revealed, it attempted to permanently graft itself to SPider-Man's body. Spider-Man did all he could to escape from the costume, but the symbiote tightened its grip on him, almost crushing Spidey in the process. Luckily ,Reed Richards had discovered that the symbiote was vulnerable to certain sound frequencies. Using theses sound waves, Richards managed to seperate Spidey from the costume. At last our hero was free and the alien was imprisoned.

Later, [during a power failure] the symbiote escaped from the laboratory and pounced on the unsuspecting Spider-Man. In desperation, SPider-Man lured the alien to the bell tower of Our Lady of Saints Church. He knew that the sound of the bells could free him from the symbiote. The alien, knowing that only one of them could survive the ordeal, sacrificed itself to save Peter. [Rid of the old costume Spider-Man went back to his old look.] The Black Cat, however, thought the black costume was sexier [so] she made a cloth version of it as a gift for Spidey. He used both costumes for many months and didn't get rid of his black one until Venom entered his life.

THE BEYONDER! BATTLEWORLD!

(also that bio leaves out how the suit became Venom wtf)

Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 20:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, Venom isn't Spiderman; I don't know that a site dedicated to Spidey's bio needs to give someone else's bio.

Jesus Dan (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 20:22 (seventeen years ago) link

fuck i'm actually psyched about this

latebloomer aka rap's yoko ono (latebloomer), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:38 (seventeen years ago) link

how is the symbiote coming to earth in this one? meteorite or something like that?

anyway, i'm really excited. i loved Spiderman 2 (didn't like the first one much).

latebloomer aka rap's yoko ono (latebloomer), Wednesday, 28 June 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

The first half of Spidey 1 is delightful, it's only the Green Goblin that fucks it up.

Was spidey supposed to be at NYU or columbia?

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 15:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Topher Grace will be playing Eddie Brock, though sources say that he may also make an appearance as Spider-Man's fearsome villain and arch-rival, Venom. Several images of him wielding a camera and his brief appearance in the teaser trailer also support this. This is furthered by the fact that several interviews with cast members have confirmed the presence of Venom in the film; however, whether or not this refers to Brock's alternate identity, or simply to the symbiote costume with which he merges is unclear (referring to the symbiote itself as "Venom" is a common mistake -- because of this there are dinosaurs), leading to speculation over whether or not Brock will actually become Venom in this film.

Machibuse '80 (ex machina), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

I want to say Columbia.

Has anybody noticed what might be Green Goblin II in the trailer? The costume makes me sad. Of course, I think I am the only person alive who actually liked Green Goblin I's Power Rangers monster plastic battlesuit.

I am desperately clinging to might hope that Harry will be the evil mastermind behind the symbiote.

Jessie the Monster (scarymonsterrr), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 16:02 (seventeen years ago) link

jon i love you

latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 16:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Jon considering you work at NYU you should already know the answer to that question.

Allyzay will never stop making pancakes (allyzay), Tuesday, 11 July 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I assumed it was NYU since his apartment is right above the Shakespeare book store (which is 1.5 blocks from my office -- working on the park = best ever).

Also the pizza place he works at is at Bleeker and 6th ave I think?

But http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_State_University sez that he goes to Columbia in the movie wtf?
