nice, thanks. i assume its hugh jackman is playing in the movie..

i really like that guy...he just seems like he would be a badass in real life too..

Yeah, not only is he starring, but i believe he's the executive producer. I don't think Fox wants anything to do with this film, which is a good thing.

I believe Sabertooth will be in it. There are rumors floating around about Deathstrike, Magneto, and The Juggernaut being in it as well, but who knows.

This is just terrible, terrible news. This has to stop. It just has to. Spiderman 3 was....well I was laughing. A lot.

IN A victory for working fathers in Hollywood, the actor Tobey Maguire has been granted “family time” with his young daughter as part of an unprecedented deal to star in the next two Spider-Man movies.

Maguire was willing to shoot Spider-Man 4 and 5 back-to-back over six months next year but insisted he should take early mornings and evenings off so he could play with his “favourite blonde”, Ruby Sweetheart, who is 22 months old.

The 33-year-old actor is expected to earn a record $50m (£28m) in salary and profit shares from the two films, substantially more than Keanu Reeves earned when he shot the last two Matrix films back-to-back. Reeves complained that it left him exhausted.

The first three Spider-Man films grossed £1.5 billion and are still producing spin-offs, including a forthcoming Broad-way musical with songs by Bono, the Irish rock star.

Until recently it was uncertain whether Maguire would put on the Spider-Man suit again, and Sony had drawn up a list of alternative actors before Maguire’s agents came back to the negotiating table.

Sony, which declined to comment, is thought to have been wary of allowing “family time” because it could set a precedent. Finally its chairman, Amy Pascal, herself a mother, stepped in, saying six months without family time would not be fair on any parent.

In the next few days Sony is expected to reveal whether Maguire’s ex-girlfriend Kirsten Dunst will be returning as his on-screen love interest, Mary Jane Watson. Dunst, 26, has recently talked about a struggle with clinical depression.

Some critics have mocked the current generation of Hollywood actors as “boy-men”. Steve McQueen’s widow Barbara said she could not imagine him asking for “family time” when making The Great Escape. Like McQueen, Maguire came from a troubled background. He planned to be a chef until his mother, an aspiring scriptwriter, gave him $100 to take acting rather than cooking lessons to make sure he “got to know the world”. It worked.

Maguire rose to fame with his boyhood friend Leonardo DiCaprio and both became renowned playboys. At 19, however, Maguire checked into rehab. Today he is a teetotal vegetarian.

“Tobey admits he is obsessive-compulsive about everything he does, and raising Ruby is no different,” a friend said last week. “There’s no way Tobey would allow work, no matter how well paid, to get between him and Ruby, and Sony realised that.”

Please don't. Not if it's going to be like 3.

I just don't get it. They all sucked.

1 was good and 2 was very good...3 was terrible because they let the director have way too much power over the story (Who "doesn't like Venom??")...he is a rather pedestrian director....Evil Dead? Please.

Don't front on Evil Dead II (but yes, Raimi is only brilliant with a limited budget...)

I thought all the Spiderman movies (cartoons?) sucked... Not sure why they bothered with actors - the whole movie might as well have been CG...

[sike]

Come on people...Spider Man 2 is very good. Hands down on the best comic flicks ever.

Not even top-10 - that Superman Returns garbage was even better...

(I mean, the second he ditches his Spiderman costume you KNOW he'll be wearing it by the end of the movie - too obvious... Plus, Doc Oc's character totally sucked - what a waste of an excellent actor! And don't even get me started on Green Goblin's son and the weaksauce love triangle they tried to force into the plot... Convoluted!)

Fanboys that vote on RottenTomatoes are the reason Hollywood keeps pumping out garbage like Hellboy 2...

It's only a 7.7 on IMDb...

[sike]

Yeah...rottentomatoes is a bunch of Fanboys.

I think the reason it got such a high rating from rt is that they are judging against other comic flicks and not normal dramas...just a guess. I would have it at a 93% unless we're comparing it to comic flicks...but that is just me.

Spiderman 2 was....bearable.

I don't even know you anymore.

Edit: Ok, I feel *slightly* better about your post after re-reading it. First time through I saw "Batman Begins" and I couldn't breathe. Still, all of the Spiderman movies suck.

[sike]

You're dumb...but I still like your mama.

I don't think the spider-man situation is even close to the cluster that is Wolverine. Fox wants so badly to make money that they changed one of the sets without telling the director so the scene wouldn't look as dark. If Fox messes up this movie, i'll never watch anything they do ever again
