New Spider-Man Teaser Poster

By Jack November 1, 2001 3:03 PM

(EMPIRE) The Official Spider-Man site has released a new teaser poster for the movie, due out in Summer 2002.

It?s reminiscent of the original teaser poster, which was removed by Sony in light of the US terrorist attacks. The original poster contained images of the World Trade Centre.

The poster was first released on www.spidermanhype.com.

AGREED. crawling head down is the ticket...
why they have to cast such a geek for the role tho...he's a shrimp!

That's the whole point of Spider-Man, Peter Parker is a geek and a shrimp, he gets bitten and gets spider powers, not muscled up. When he gets the powers he uses them to get the fame and popularity he was denied as he grew up. His selfishness results in his uncle's death. Hence the whole "with great power comes great responsibility" thing. Geez, have you guys ever read the comics, oh wait I forgot, most of you probably haven't entered puberty yet and wouldn't know your web shooter from your utility belt. Do your homework before you post comments.

By the way this movie's gonna rock.

I'm not saying it should be swartzenegger or anything...just an actor with a little more charisma and presence....i can't see toby macguire pullin off the wise-cracking part of the role....and for the record...i have read the comics...I assumed anyone reading stuff on this web-site would have...I am questioning the hollywood choice for the role...george clooney sucked as batman too...i would rather have seen chris o'donnell play spidey than robin...

You're right, Hollywood has made some casting boo-boo's (Clooney a big one as Batman) and I was a little put off by Toby as Spider-Man at first. But I'll give the guy a chance, it seems that he can at least act better than O'Donnel. It could have been worse, they could have cast Loenardo De-crap-rio as our favorite wall crawler.

Nic Cage should never be allowed to play the role of any superhero.  The guy just doesn't get it.  At least if he plays Ghostrider his head will be blocked out by the flaming skull!

nick cage is an avid comic fan and even his stage name is taken from a comic book character.....

i think he gets it but isn't the actor for the job....

RE: New Spider-Man Teaser Poster   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 5, 2001 6:35 AM

What character did he get his name from?

RE: New Spider-Man Teaser Poster   reply

Posted by A random shemp (No Email) on November 5, 2001 11:57 AM

i just read about it but i can't specifically remember...

the last name was cage but the character had a different first name...

like toby or thomas...

and his alter-ego was one i never heard of either....

powerman or similar to it...

i think it was on the sci-fi channels news page, i'll go look...

here it is...

Cage Will Play Constantine
icolas Cage will at long last take to the big-screen as a comic-book character, but not as Superman or Ghost Rider. According to online reports, after both Superman and Ghost Rider fell through, Cage has decided to play the title role of John Constantine in the big screen version of the DC Comic Hellblazer.

Tarsem, who most recently directed Jennifer Lopez in The Cell, will helm the Warner Bros. project. The supernatural story involves a man, Constantine, who uses his unique powers to neutralize situations that threaten everyone and everything on Earth. Cage, of course, took his stage name from a comic book character: Marvel's Luke Cage, better known as Power Man.

Hellblazer will commence production on March 1, 2002.

Yes,I can see that, it makes sense. Luke Cage a.k.a. Power Man, the afro wearing, jive talking, muscle head, was the inspiration for the name of Nick Cage, the Olive Oil muscled, Elvis fan...sure, why not?

RE: New Spider-Man Teaser Poster   reply

Posted by Spidey (red_five34@hotmail.com) on November 5, 2001 6:59 PM

Nic Cage as John Constintine will suck eggs, Hellblazer is one of my favorite comics, but all ready i have a bad taste in my mouth.

hey, i didn't say he fit any role; just informing you where he got his name...

i too think h4 would suck in any superhero role..

he might get the idea behind it but in no way is he the man for the job...

You're absolutely right! the Cpt. America and Punisher movies were both crap so this one HAS to be aswell! Thankyou for showing me the light, I will now avoid this movie at all costs!

For those who didn't know, Nic Cage was going to play Superman in Kevin Smith's 'Superman Lives' sceenplay. Has anyone else read that script? I actually thought it was pretty good- apart from that L-Ron robot.

I think Crispin Glover would have been a perfect Peter Parker.  Or a perfect villian.  They could get Dave Letterman to make a special appearance in the movie with him!

I thought that after "The Lost Boys," the two Coreys made so many bad B movies that, in a fit of pity and compassion, their agent put them both out of their (and our) misery.

I think that Spiderman will be a good movie, spiderman 2 will be darker than the first one and some people will dislike it because of this, spiderman 3 will appeal more to a younger audience and will be good in it's own right but fans of the orginal will feel let down. Spiderman 4 on the other hand will be totally crap, resorting to gratuitous shots of spiderman and his side-kicks asses as they prance around trying to stop the villian from freezing the city.

RE: New Spider-Man Teaser Poster   reply

The Spiderman poster has many redeeming qualities that sugest that the movie as a whole could be very enjoyable. If you notice the high angle shot coupled with the sense of vertigo that it posseses whilst simultaniously conveying a certain mystery to it you will agree that as far as symbolic expressionism goes the result of the categorisation of the movie by critics of the poster is an example of its cross-over into different styles of film. Further more, if we take into account the fact that the poster is constructed through the judicial use of existing images and conventions that have already been mediated through film or in other related forms we can understand the movie through our experiences and comparisons with other films or media products. These in turn assure the poster its authenticity and overall coolness.

RE: New Spider-Man Teaser Poster   reply

Posted by Skullfire (hulacete@ubbi.com) on December 3, 2001 4:26 PM

The forum says "Comment", not lawyer's defense argument.

But if that's the tone, here it goes:

El poster luce realmente bien, exceptuando por las l?neas plateadas que semejan las de una telara?a en el traje. Sabemos bien que el dise?o de la historieta posee rayas negras, lo cual lo hace m?s discreto para el esp?ritu de lo que una ara?a representa, considerando que para ser alguien que se introduce subrepticiamente por las claraboyas sin ser invitado, no ayudan, los colores rojo y azul, a evitar ser descubierto. Citando el punto descrito m?s arriba por otro de los comentaristas al azar, efectivamente se destaca a?n m?s si se invierte la imagen, dejando apreciar considerablemente la perspectiva de la calle debajo del h?roe. Sin embargo, debemos resignarnos a que por razones a veces comerciales (de mano de las empresas que producen el filme), creativas o de presupuesto, la adaptaci?n deje de ser fiel al personaje mismo. Obviamente, tambi?n tenemos que considerar que si queremos ver al Hombre Ara?a en el cine, hay que resignar muchas expectativas dado que es imposible realizarlas en la vida real; un buen ejemplo de ello, sin embargo, ha sido "Hombres X", cuyo pasaje del papel al celuloide ha sido m?s que satisfactorio al cuajar de una forma razonable todos los elementos de ficci?n.
En verdad, lo que hay que hacer es aguardar por la pel?cula con ilusiones pero atentos a los desencantos. Si realmente los realizadores son fan?ticos, y por tanto fieles al personaje, en el fondo no nos defraudar?n.

Hope you know spanish, because there's no way I'm gonna translate that.
