Where have I been? - Update 5/19/18 (Could This Be The End?)

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Sat, 19 May 2018 22:27:00 +0000

It's been 5 years since I've made a post on my blog, and I've been wanting to come back on here to continue where I left off from. But a lot of time has passed, and a lot has changed over the course of those years. My intentions when I first started this blog was to be the one-stop for all Spidey movie-related news, and to this day I still get excited at the idea of a new movie or any news coming out of those films. Time has a way of changing things. After the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, I felt numb. And don't get me wrong, as a fan, there were moments I enjoyed, but overall it wasn't a great, sorry, an amazing movie (pun intended). It was poorly received, and the idea of a third Amazing Spider-Man was becoming nonexistent.

Then came along the Disney/Sony deal in 2015, and everything changed. I was so excited to report news of Spidey's arrival into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, knowing he'll share the same screen as Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and so on! But it never happened. Not because I didn't want to, I just forgot to. And when I thought back to reporting that news on here, it was already too late. There has been so much going on since I left here, with school, with family, with work, with life, and when it came down to it...this blog was no longer apart of my life. Now, that may sound a bit sad, but there are positive outcomes.

For one, I met the love of my life 2 years ago, and up 'til recently, we had our first baby boy on April 12th of this year. We're proud parents and love our baby boy, and right now that's the main focus. This doesn't mean this is the end of this site, but it is definitely the end of this journey that I started out (circa. 2006...wow, sounded a bit like Stark there, I gotta make that transition somehow). Onto the next journey in life, making sure my kid gets the best love and support he can get from us. He's already wearing Spidey clothes (it's adorable). For now, this is goodbye. I am active on my Facebook page, you can go to that clicking here (or below). I also started a fan community for the Spidey movie lovers out there, so come join the conversation! In the words of Spidey from Infinity War, "I'm sorry..."

Ok, not the best outro to leave on, and it doesn't make sense...also, too soon! How about this, Excelsior! I'll leave you with an image of me and my 'Spiderling'...

Two More Movies In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Franchise Confirmed For 2016 And 2018

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:20:00 +0000

CULVER CITY, Calif., June 17, 2013 – With Sony Pictures Entertainment now in production in New York on The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, slated for release on May 2, 2014, the studio is planting its flag on two future release dates for one of the most successful franchises in studio history, it was announced today by Jeff Blake, Chairman, Worldwide Marketing and Distribution for Sony Pictures. The next two films in the story of Peter Parker will be released on June 10, 2016, and on May 4, 2018, respectively.

Commenting on the announcement, Blake said, “Spider-Man is our most important, most successful, and most beloved franchise, so we’re thrilled that we are in a position to lock in these prime release dates over the next five years.”

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt, and based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are the producers. The executive producers are E. Bennett Walsh, Stan Lee, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci.

The Amazing Spider-Man took in over $750 million at the worldwide box office last year.

Shailene Woodley's Mary Jane Watson NOT Appearing In THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 18:10:00 +0000

While focusing on their cover story "Divergent", Entertainment Weekly reports in their latest print-edition that the storyline for Shailene Woodley's Mary Jane Watson is now being saved for the third installment of Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man" franchise. Said Woodely, "Of course I'm bummed. But I am a firm believer in everything happening for a specific reason...Based on the proposed plot, I completely understand the need for holding off on introducing [Mary Jane] until the next film." This news, ironically, comes on the heels of rumors that actress Felicity Jones is playing another Spider-Man love interest, Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat.

Initial remarks from Marc Webb explicitly stated that Mary Jane would only have a brief appearance in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" as a set-up for a bigger role moving forward. Webb's statement was backed up by the relative short amount of time Woodley spent filming the sequel. Well apparently, that brief appearance is now being saved for the third installment of "The Amazing Spider-Man" which was just recently revealed to have secured a June 10, 2016 release date. No word on whether the footage that Woodley has already filmed will be used in the third installment or scrapped all together. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will be released in the US on May 2, 2014.

From Marc Webb [via Deadline] - "“I made a creative decision to streamline the story and focus on Peter and Gwen and their relationship. Shailene is an incredibly talented actress and while we only shot a few scenes with Mary Jane, we all love working with her."

Sam Raimi Talks About THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN and Spider-Man 4

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 13:45:00 +0000

Sam Raimi's previous comments about Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man made it seem like he would never watch the film, comparing such an action to going to watch your ex-girlfriend on a date with another guy. Well, recently the director of Oz The Great And Powerful and the original Spider-Man trilogy revealed to HeyUGuys that he finally got over his trepidations and watched the movie, here's what he thought.

That's great that Mr. Raimi enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man. I hope great things for his future as a film director, and I can't wait to watch his Oz The Great And Powerful, I'm really looking forward to that. So what did Sam Raimi had to say about his departing with Sony Pictures on the "now dead" fourth-installment of his Spider-Man series?

Well we all already knew about Anne Hathaway was gonna be Black Cat in "Spider-Man 4". I do like the reboot as much as the first & second, but I do feel the original series should've ended on a high note. So what do you webheads think of this news?? Comment below and let me know!

Chris Cooper To Play Norman Osborn in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2!

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:54:00 +0000

While there has been some speculation on who will be playing Norman Osborn in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, nothing was ever set in stone. That all changes today as The Hollywood Reporter has reported that actor Chris Cooper will be playing the Oscorp CEO. Variety first reported he joined the cast, but was unsure of what character he was playing.

I kinda have mix feelings for this choice, but he's not a bad choice at all. Just I can't see him becoming the Green Goblin, unless he has a stunt double, or they completely make him Hulk Goblin (Oh please God no). There's rumors that Dane DeHaan, who is playing Harry Osborn, is probably gonna be the Green Goblin instead. After all it has been reported that Dane is working out for the role. I hope this isn't the case, because I want to see the original Green Goblin take on Spider-Man in this new series. But I guess we will have to see how this all pans out.

In the comics, Norman famously becomes the Green Goblin. However, there are no plot details at this time to suggest that he will make an appearance in the film as the Goblin. Cooper joins the already jam packed cast that features returning stars Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and Sally Field as Aunt May. Also rounding out the cast are new comers Jamie Foxx as Electro, Paul Giamatti as Rhino, and Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane. The film is set to hit theaters on May 2, 2014.

Spidey's New Suit! (The Amazing Spider-Man 2)

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 21:50:00 +0000

Today the man behind The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Marc Webb) has posted on his Twitter of something really, really 'amazing'. Check it out below:

If you couldn't view the link on that tweet, maybe this will help:

Yep, that's right! Spidey is getting a new look (or should I say suit?) in the sequel, and it looks AMAZING!! SPECTACULAR! This movie is definitely shaping up to be pretty cool, and I'm really excited about it! So what are your thoughts about Spidey's new duds? And what are your thoughts in general of what you read about The Amazing Spider-Man 2 so far? Comment below, and let me know!

And yes I know I haven't posted much about this movie in the past few weeks, even though there have been on set pics recently. But I'm still busy with college, and that comes first! So like always...

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Begins Production!

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Wed, 06 Feb 2013 05:47:00 +0000

New York, February 5, 2013 – Columbia Pictures announced today that filming has begun on The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2 in New York. The film is the first in the history of the franchise that will be filmed entirely in New York City and New York State.

The sequel to last year’s critical and box office hit The Amazing Spider-Man, the film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Colm Feore, Paul Giamatti, and Sally Field.

In The Amazing Spider-Man™ 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.

The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner, with a previous draft by James Vanderbilt, and based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach are the producers.

The film’s key behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Dan Mindel, production designer Mark Friedberg, editors Pietro Scalia and Elliot Graham, and costume designer Deborah L. Scott.

The latest chapter in the Spider-Man story is set for release in 3D on May 2, 2014.

Jamie Foxx is Electro! Plus More Casting News!

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 07:05:00 +0000

Wow, I felt like I haven't been on here for ages. Well months actually, but I was speaking metaphorically. Any who, I know most of you have already read that Jamie Foxx will be playing the next main villain in the upcoming 'Amazing Spider-Man' installment. Who might that be, you may ask? Well of course you read the title to this, then you already know the answer.

I find it cool that our favorite "electrifying" rogue will finally get to be on the big screen, fighting against our favorite wall-crawler of course! Now you may be thinking that it's a bit odd that they chose someone whom looks nothing like the character from the comics. Well, I am all not too worry about that. As long he can act, and give justice to the character, I will be satisfied.

It's good for them to cast someone like Jamie Foxx, who has the right acting chops to portray someone like Maxwell Dillon (aka Electro) on the big-screen. Will Foxx don the green and yellow jumpsuit? Maybe not, here's what he had to say on the matter:

As a Spidey fan, I am totally down with that. Because the original outfit wouldn't look threatening enough. But hey, it would give Spidey a reason to come up with good wisecracks!

As far for the origin, I read it will be drastically different than the original. From what a source told me, there was an interview with Mr. Foxx about his role in the upcoming 'Amazing Spider-Man' sequel. He explained everything that happens that leads up to Max Dillon becoming Electro, how he's been screwed over all his life, had all his inventions stolen by big corporations and is completely down on his luck. Spidey gives him some kind of recognition, and that makes him obsessive over the web-slinger. I really haven't watch the interview for this, so I can't confirm nor deny if it's true or not. Sounds like it could be interesting though, but I guess we'll have to wait and see for further official news.

On another note, here's some information on whose gonna star alongside Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. It's official, we got our Mary Jane and Harry Osborn!! Actress Shailene Woodley (TV series The Secret Life of the American Teenager) and actor Dane DeHaan (2012's Chronicle movie), will be playing as Mary Jane Watson and Harry Osborn in the next 'Amazing Spider-Man' movie.

And that's not all! Apparently stuntman Asim Ahmad will be playing Morbius, THE LIVING VAMPIRE. Well...not exactly the Living Vampire in this portrayal. Here's what Asim had to say about the role, "Morbius is only mentioned in two pages, not a big part." When fans asked him whether he was telling the truth with his casting as Morbius, Ahmad responded, "Yep, not a big part mind you, but it's gonna be a blast." In another posting, he wrote, "I assure you it's not B.S. but it's not a huge thing like everyone is making it out to be. 2-3 mins, tops." Well that sucks, but maybe Morbius might be back in the third one as the Living Vampire we all know and love from the comics and the '90s TV series? We can only dream.

That is all I want to cover for now, I will try to be back with more news as soon as I can! Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Tobey Maguire Interviews Andrew Garfield!

noreply@blogger.com (GreenieGobbie) — Wed, 09 May 2012 20:02:00 +0000

VMan magazine has published a really interesting article in which former "Spider-Man" franchise star Tobey Maguire interviews The Amazing Spider-Man star Andrew Garfield about taking over the role this July 3rd. Here's the full interview:

Tobey Maguire, who played Peter Parker back in 2002's Spider-Man, talks to Andrew Garfield about how it was to take up the role after him for the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man, coming out on July 3rd.

TOBEY MAGUIRE You're in New york for Death of a Salesman, right?

ANDREW GARFIELD Yeah, that's right.

TM I love that you're doing that. and you're enjoying the play, the experience?
"Enjoying" is a strange word for that play. How has it been playing Biff?

AG [Laughs] Of course going through this kind of release and catharsis, facing all your demons in a space of three hours every night—it can be incredibly rewarding. It's invigo- rating. It's a great challenge, a great test and opportunity. There's something very pure about it. There are no frills and there's nowhere to hide and you have to be vulnerable as hell, and you have to serve something much greater than yourself, which is this incred- ible work of art that you're trying to bring to life. It's a wonderful, lucky opportunity for any actor to have. But, yeah, the majority of the time I wake up in the morning I'm kind of confused as to why I decided to do it. [Laughs] But you have to heave yourself up!

TM And do you feel—I don't want to say confined or imply any negativity— but the schedule of a broadway show can be long and hard, portraying a character day after day.

AG I think this is enough to be contending with right now. The only other thing that's been preying on my mind is the impending release of this movie I've done, and that is much more stressful than being on stage every night.

TM [Laughs] Would that be the release of The Amazing Spider-Man?!

AG That's the one! Do you know about this movie? [Laughs]

TM I do know about it! actually, when it was coming together, I was particularly excited at two moments: one was when [director] Marc Webb got involved. I think he's an interesting and cool choice. and then I was certainly curious as to who was going to play Peter Parker. When I heard it was you, I was literally like, Fucking perfect!

AG Oh, man!

TM I just want it to be great, and I thought, What a great actor andrew is, i'm glad that's what's happening here.

AG That's so nice of you.

TM What was the process? How did you end up being the guy?

AG It was pretty basic, apart from it being more dragged out and pressure-filled and dra- matic than any other audition process I've ever been through. They like to put you through the ringer, in the respect that it creates drama and tension among a generation of actors.

TM [Laughs]

AG And they succeed every time, it seems. But, no, it was great. I'm friends with a few of the guys who were up for it, and I actually had dinner with Jamie [Bell] the night of my screen test and his screen test. We compared notes and war stories, and we kind of got past the ridiculousness of it all and thought it would be a nice idea to get everyone together and kind of interview each other about how messed up the process is, being against each other, and remember that we're all in it together, knowing that when you take off that bodysuit someone else is going to be stepping into your sweat immediately after. It's a weird kind of cattle call. But Marc [Webb] was great. He was very open and encouraging. You have the monitoring area with literally about 30 people judging you, looking at your face and whispering to each other—it's one of the most disconcerting and kind of humiliating things to go through, if you're aware of it, you know what I mean?

TM Yeah, I completely understand. What kind of effect has this had on you?

AG The main thing I'm thinking about and worrying about is what happens after this movie comes out. What was your experience when you became Spider-Man in people's eyes? I'm interested to hear what you have to say about the whole life change that it brings. Because right now I have a host of fears that I'm contending with on a minute-to-minute basis. I'm not in the reality of it yet, so I'm sure I'm imagining it will be much worse than it is. I admire you so much because you're an actor and that's all you've ever been and all you ever will be. It must be very hard to hold on to the simple fact of wanting to be an actor, to tell stories and not have your image become bigger than your art. Do you have a recollection of a definite change, or was it a seamless thing?

TM I think our thing was a little bit different because movies hadn't been doing the sort of opening-weekend business that's fairly common—even expected—today. The first Harry Potter came out about six months before us and it was this phenom- enon from Day one. it was so wild because it was a new thing at that moment—and i'm not saying that hasn't happened in movie history, but at the time that was a big jump. and then that happened with us. People didn't anticipate [2002's Spider- Man] to be like that. Leading up to it you start to get reactions and people tell you, you know, what the tracking is and what range your opening weekend box office is likely to be. but for me it was kind of unexpected. So much shifted in my life the weekend the movie came out. it was shocking.

AG Oh wow, that's crazy.

TM I'd been making movies for a while so I had experienced some attention. But then, all of a sudden, the Sunday after it was released, I remember I went to lunch with my little brothers and there were all these people outside and photographers—it was a lot more attention than what I was used to. But for you, you seem to be more prepared for it than I was. Hopefully it won't be as violent for you from one day to the next.

AG I've had a very small experience with it, and it's very difficult. is there any way of containing it? Or humanizing it? There's sometimes that separation that happens: there's a wall that goes up between people in the public eye—actors, musicians, politicians— and the public. What i'd love is for spider-Man fans to be...I like the idea of everyone being one, because you were the guy in the suit and now i'm the guy in suit and there'll be another guy in the suit later on down the line. this whole celebrity myth is very new and interesting to me, whether one can just be an actor and also be in one of these roles.

TM This celebrity thing, it's a part of our culture. It's just what happens. How I've adjusted over the years is that essentially I try to embrace the reality of my life, to be as open and as friendly as feels natural and try not to hide because the attention can be uncomfortable at times. But I also respect my own need for privacy. The truth is, it's a very strange experience becoming really well-known. Like you said, we're humans craving a human experience. But we're also actors, and I'm sure we share that we want the projects we've worked on to do well. And we appreciate when people like them, we approach it with respect, but ultimately it all comes down to the work.

AG Rright. I just feel such a great responsibility to the story and to the fans, because I know in my heart how much this character means to people, because it means that much to me. For the sake of all the people who care about it as much as I do—I want to bring the character to life and make sure they're as satisfied as they can possibly be.

TM That's very cool. A lot of what you've been talking about, the connectivity between you and the story and the fans, it seems like you have a great respect for the character.

AG Very much so. Peter Parker is such a positive character—he's pure wish fulfillment, an underdog. I grew so much from him when I was a kid, from the comics all the way up to the first movie you were in. I was 19 when I saw [Spider-Man]. I got a pirated dvd at portobello Market with my friend terry Mcguiness, and we went back to my skanky apartment in North London and we watched it twice in a row and then practiced your final line in the mirror!

TM [Laughs]

AG Terry has this thick accent and every time I would recite that line he would laugh this very distinct laugh and say, "No, man, you could never be fucking Spider-Man. You'll never be fucking Spider-Man!" I was so humiliated and upset. But, um...fuck you, Terry!

TM [Laughs]

AG [Laughs] No, he's still a friend, he knows about it. It's funny. But, yeah, Spider-Man has always been a beautiful symbol for me, and I'm sure for you too—and I'd like to keep it so. Because, you know, you can get wrapped up in numbers and whether or not it's a success. The nature of success is something I've been considering a lot lately. But I think all we can do, like you're saying, is stay true to its essence and deliver the best possible story we can—which I hope we do...I think we have the potential to.

TM From what I've seen it looks very powerful, authentic. You're very honest in your work and it's obviously complicated: what the story is, how do you embody it, be the channel for that? Just remember to enjoy the ride. It will be fun, I'm sure. And weird. And all kinds of things. But enjoy the ride. And then get back to work soon!

AG Thank you. I feel a great wave of reassurance after hearing everything you've said. The letting go, knowing that you've worked as hard as you can, that your heart has been in it, and at a certain point you have to let it be what it is, you can't control it—there's something quite liberating about that.

TM So what's next for you? Do you have something else lined up, are you thinking about it?

AG There's a lot of reevaluation of what is going on and it's a very complex moment, what I'm imagining is about to occur. Maybe you're right. Maybe it doesn't have to be so complicated. It is what it is and you carry on. As far as what happens after that, I don't know. I know that I love acting, and that's pretty much it.
