CULVER CITY, Calif., Jan. 4, 2001 -- Spidey fans, you can stop your salivating (for now). Just days from the start of filming and one and a half years from its May 3, 2002, release date, the makers of Sony’s big-budget “Spider-Man” flick called a press conference on the Sony Pictures lot this morning to introduce the cast and give a little preview of what’s ahead. Cast members Tobey Maguire, Willem Dafoe, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, director Sam Raimi (“The Gift”) and other filmmakers led the event, attended by a reported 300 journalists from around the world. While details such as the movie’s budget (think big) are still kept secret, we now have these tasty morsels to mull over: THE CAST: As mentioned before, Maguire will star as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, with Dafoe playing the villainous Green Goblin and Dunst as Peter’s girlfriend Mary Jane. Franco (NBC’s cance
HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 14, 2000 -- Try not to panic when you read this: The big "Spider-Man" movie is being pushed back. Columbia Pictures has announced that it's rolling back the start of production on the big Sam Raimi-directed flick, which stars Tobey Maguire as the wall-crawling superhero and maybe John Malkovich as his foe, the Green Goblin. That means the release date, which had been set for Nov. 2, 2001, is now May 3, 2002. Nuts. Why the delay? Producer Laura Ziskin says it's got nothing to do with the writers and actors strikes that loom on the horizon, as "Spider-Man" is supposed to wrap up principal photography before that stuff happens. She said the extra time is needed for post-production and effects.
The Hollywood studios are already hyping their crop of blockbusters for summer 2002, and it started long before Entertainment Weekly put Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst on its June 29 cover.
The set of Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man has lately been plagued with a run of bad luck, to say the least.
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 8, 2000 -- Spider-man fans: Here comes Tobey Maguire! That’s right, it is official: The 25-year-old baby-face actor has been picked to play Peter Parker, aka the new Spidey, in the upcoming Sam Raimi adaptation, The Associated Press reports today. Maguire, whose film resume includes the Oscar-nominated "The Cider House Rules," "Pleasantville" and "The Ice Storm," was in final negotiations for the role last week. He has reportedly beaten the likes of Wes Bentley and Freddie Prinze Jr. for the web-spinning comic book superhero. And, apparently, playing the coveted part has been nothing less than, er, a transformative experience. The actor said in an upcoming Time magazine article, "They put some kinda grease on my body and then layer after layer of this ... stuff. When it hardens, they take it off, and it's a bit painful 'cause I have hair o
HOLLYWOOD, July 31, 2000 -- Spider-Man's secret identity has been revealed. Now, the question remains: Is he a nerdy geek or a mutated freak? Long-standing rumors were confirmed today, as the movie trade newspapers reported that Tobey Maguire has been chosen over numerous notable young actors and is in final negotiations to play Peter Parker, the high school bookworm who becomes the wall-crawling hero from the Marvel comic book. But, even before movie fandom can weigh in on the pros and cons of "The Cider House Rules" guy playing Spidey, director Sam Raimi and Columbia Pictures are already embroiled in a little controversy that, who knows, could maybe mushroom into a serious PR concern for makers of the Next Big Superhero Movie. Here's the issue: Mechanical web shooters or organic web shooters? By now, you're probably asking: "Say what?" You see, R
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 11, 2000 -- Our friends over at Eon Magazine (www.mothership.com) scored a major scoop this week, publishing the first-ever interview with director Sam Raimi on the subject of the wall-crawling, web-shooting "Spider-Man" movie. Of course, Raimi wouldn't talk about plot details, but he waxed about his love of Marvel Comics' marquee character, a pulp teen icon of the post-atomic age. "What I hope to put into the movie is what I found so attractive about the comic books," Raimi said in the interview. "[Peter Parker, Spidey's true identity] is not pretending to be somebody, like Superman pretends to be Clark Kent. Superman is really cool and unstoppable and he winks at us with the glasses and says, 'I'm just pretending to be a nerd.' But Peter really is. He never loses sight of who he is and that's what's great about him. He's still us in that costume." The ot
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 5, 2000 -- Not one frame of film has been shot, the script isn't finished yet and, heck, the studio hasn't even officially announced the director's name (it's Sam Raimi). But this week, Sony started working on the most important part of its forthcoming "Spider-Man" movie: the toys. The formation of Spider-Man Merchandising L.P. was announced at an invitation-only meeting at UCLA, attended by hundreds of companies interested in licensing Spider-Man tie-in stuff when the film comes out in Fall 2001. "Spider-Man" will be one of the biggest event movies ever, and this is expected to be one of the biggest merchanidsing campaigns ever, too. "By joining forces with Marvel, we can maximize on major licensing opportunities to support the movie, while leveraging the enormous worldwide popularity that has already been built," Peter Dang of Sony Pictures said in a
SANTA MONICA, Calif., January 24, 2000 -- Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane!No, it's another "Spider-Man" rumor.For nearly seven years, speculation has run rampant among comic-book geeks and genre-film fanatics about the red-and-blue building-climbing superhero. Nearly every director worth his box-office salt has been linked to "Spider-Man" at one time or another, beginning with no less than James Cameron ("Titanic") and ending with Sam Raimi ("A Simple Plan," "For Love of the Game"), who is now supposedly the front-runner for the job.One thing's for certain: "Spider-Man," one of the most highly anticipated films in memory, is now on the fast track at Columbia Pictures. The studio wants to release the film in summer 2001, and that means a director is expected to be hired soon -- perhaps within a few weeks. At long last, Marvel Comics' biggest franchis
