Stavros Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Which mob do you think drowns cats? are the Aristocats suddenly getting rid of irritants with concrete kitten mittens? Seriously, an ex-colleague of mine who was a former army captain once drowned a sack of guinea pigs in a well. Mind you he also once killed a deer with his volvo and took it home to eat (which is technically illegal). People are capable of strange things.

dc20willsave Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Ifans is playing The Lizard. I'd say this makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 One of my favorite Spider-Man villains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I think they could do this by going the same route as the 94's animated series origin where the same device that irradiated the spider also made the Lizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Lizard works as a "first villain" for Peter, I think. He's a very personal character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Awesome. Connors can be such an awesome villain. I really hope we get a cure, rather than a villain death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzilla Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 The announcement that the Lizard would be the villain made my interest go from zero to "shit, I have to see this at midnight on opening day." Yeah, I can be bought that cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 With every other major tentpole breaking news this morning, why not one more right? It looks like casting news is once again heating up around Marc Webb‘s “Spider-Man” as filmmakers are now on the hunt for J. Jonah Jameson. So what does that mean? Every man with gray or white hair in Hollywood are going to banging on Sony’s doors to get an audition. What’s Playing report that “Mad Men” star and Tony Stark’s Dad John Slattery and grizzled bassoon voiced Sam Elliott are a couple of the names that have cropped up among “the dozen or so actors” currently being considered the part. The report goes on to say that interest in Elliott may only be just that—interest—however, we would imagine that’s probably the case for most of the names on that list, but that phone calls and schedule inquiries are already being made. But really, expect anyone with distinguished greying domes in Hollywood to become sudden contenders, and yeah, we imagine more names will start leaking out shortly as publicists/agents start vying for their respective talent to land the gig. As even the most neophyte “Spider-Man” fan knows, this role is a particularly big one in the film. Jameson is the gruff editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle who employs photographer Peter Parker and finds out he’s pretty much the only guy who’s able to get pictures of Spidey in action. J.K. Simmons aced the part in Sam Raimi‘s films, but the freshly rebooted franchise is obviously looking for a new actor to fill those shoes. Whoever is cast will be joining Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans in the film which shoot in 3D beginning this winter.

MaxPower Posted October 27, 2010 Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I challenge anyone to top JK Simmons performance. I still laugh at that scene where he mimes to his receptionist to hang up on his wife, classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted November 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 It looks like things are moving fast now! Just after we posted the news that Martin Sheen is in final talks to play Uncle Ben in Columbia Pictures' untitled Spider-Man movie, we've learned that Sally Field has been offered the role of Aunt May in the film as well. In the original Spidey trilogy, Uncle Ben was played by Cliff Robertson and Aunt May was played by Rosemary Harris. Should Field accept the role, she would be joining Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans in the Marc Webb-directed film that starts shooting in just over a month. Columbia Pictures is targeting a July 3, 2012 release. http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=71412#ixzz14MqDWnpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 I could give a rat's ass. Rosemary Harris is a Shakespearean actor, and has more talent in a single strand of her hair, than Field has in her whole body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player Queen in Hamlet, Desdemona in Othello, Yelena in Uncle Vanya, Viola in Twelfth Night, Elanor of Equitaine in Lion of Winter, she's done Pinter and Shaw and Chekhov and Albee, the woman has done it all.
