Topic: Film Spiderman the Real Deal
By Acheron on May 17, 2001 1:18 PM

(EMPIRE) As Executive Producer of Spider-Man, Marvel Comic's Avi Arad's job is one that many comics and film fans would sell one of their own limbs to have. Speaking this week to Marvel's official site Marvel.Com, Arad has been giving his take on the upcoming Spider-Man movie.

To begin with, he wants to reassure fans of the comics that they'll be happy with the move to the big screen. 'I think the fans are going to see a very loyal depiction of Spider-Man,' Arad says. It's very true to this huge character.'

Having said that, all the stops have clearly been pulled out from a special effects point of view. 'This movie shouldn't have been made until now. There wasn't the technology to make the movie what it is today. It's very complicated to make Spider-Man fly and swing and shoot webs. It's very complicated to make the (Green) Goblin fly through the skies and have the kinds of action scenes it dictates. Spider-Man's powers are such that it's really not well-covered by normal physics.'

As for Tobey Maguire's performance, 'The kid's the next Tom Hanks,' smiles Arad. 'This is going to be a big movie. A very big movie.'

Arad's not the only person looking forward to the prospect of a big screen Spider-Man. Marvel genius Stan Lee has already filmed his cameo for the movie. 'He's very excited," Arad says of Lee. "It's been a long time coming.'

Best of all, the Marvel producer seems happy to confirm that Columbia views Spider-Man as a franchise project. 'The seeds are at the end of this movie...we all know what Spider-Man's mission is and his commitment to his life as being Spider-Man.'

This project sounds like it will work.  After the success of X-men, Marvel has shown its characters can work on film.

Let's just hope they DON'T hire Joel Schumacher (did I spell that correctly???) to direct the sequels.

I agree, after the success of the X-MEN, my friends and I are awaiting the up and coming debut of Spider-man.  Any squeals on the way?

Who's playing spiderman anyway?  

I personally think Arnold Swartzeneger (yes, I know it's spelled wrong, but you get the general idea).  After all, he proved he could play a super villain and has mastered the English language, when he played Mr. Freeze.
Who can forget such memorable lines as "Frweeze!", "Chill owt!"?  

He was robbed at the Grammys, or whateve it is when actors get recognized for their "hard work" with a small statue, that rarely looks like them.

Academy Awards, or "Oscars".  Grammy's = Grammophones = music.

Toby Maguire is younger, and skinny, but I think their other choice, Jude Law, would have been better.  He's a great actor, doesn't look like he's 12, and has the right look/build.  But maybe Toby will do.  Elijah Wood did a crappy job in that *other* asteroid movie, forget the name, but he looks like a good Frodo.

Spiderman is played by  Toby Maguire, from such films as Cider House Rules, and Wonder Boys.

Those all sound like gay porn videos to me.  This guy who plays Spiderman, is he buff, or skinny and wirey?

It was always strange in the comic books, Spiderman was always wiry and thin, while Peter Parker was like this big buffed out steroid monkey.

His name is Tobey (not Toby) Maguire.

He's most famous for his roles as the hitchhiker in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", "Pleasantville", "The Cider House Rules" and "Wonder Boys".

I'm hoping it will be great, if they just stick to the book they can't go wrong. But regardless of Stan Lee and Marvel, Hollywood always finds a way to mess up a sure thing.

Sam Raimi as a director could adapt the Yellow Pages and make it interesting. It'll be great, I assure you.

FADE IN:

INT. WEB KITCHEN--AFTERNOON

SPIDERMAN enters and throws school books on the counter, next to a pile of Playweb magazines.

He flips through one of the magizines, stops and curiously is checking out the centerfold.

INSERT CENTERFOLD

A beautiful, leather clad black widow is spread eagle, revealing her luminous red spot.

BACK TO SCENE

Spidey reaches down and rubs his crotch, and notices a shoo-fly pie on the counter.

COUNTER

The pie is beautiful, like a piece of artwork

Spidey feels the pan, carefully

                     SPIDERMAN
              Hmmm, nice and warm. Fresh.

He slowly slips a finger into the pie

                     SPIDERMAN
              Damn, warm and tight

He starts to rub his crotch on the side of the counter, in motion with his finger sliding in and out of the pie


EXT. HOUSE--SAMETIME

A rusted up, overheating and smoking Ford Pinto pulls in the drive

Spidermans dad, DADDY LONG LEGS, get out of the car, frustrated

                     DADDY LONG LEGS
                Sonsabytches don't know who
                they're messing with

He walks towards the back door and enters the kitchen


INT. KITCHEN--MOMENTS LATER

Daddy Long Legs freezes in his tracks and his jaw drops

DADDY LONG LEGS P.O.V.

Spidey, covered in shoo-fly pie, is ejaculating wet webbers all over the pie


KITCHEN--LATER

Spidey and Dadsit at the kitchen in disgust, looking at the pie

                     DADDY LONG LEGGER
               Well, we can just tell her we ate it

You are a sick man. And it's obvious you've barely-- if ever-- read the comic-- both Spidey's parents are dead! Hence Aunt May and Uncle Ben! And even if your Daddy Long Leggers was intended to be Uncle Ben, it doesn't work-- His murder is Peter Parker's motivation for becoming Spider-Man. "With Great Power come Great Responsibility."
SO, do us all a favor and take your disgusting, low-grade, sicko porn-obsessed stories to a Fan Fic site where they'll be lost in a sea of crap written by no-talent junior high hacks who at least have their heart in the right place.
And if you're going to spoof something at least TRY to do it originally. American Pie was dumb enough without your little revisions.
That is all I have to say. Good night and God bless.

If anyone saw "Ride with the Devil" they know this kid Tobey can act. Then again Leo in the "Basket Ball Diaries" was about as unconvincing as can be. It wasn't due to his acting abilities, it was due to his pathetic basketball skills....it really was sad.

Walking Dead: FYI, we are shooting our first feature-length production this summer in Ohio's scenic Hocking Hills.
Oh, and while the "real studio(s)" in Hollywood may not use Hotmail, we Independent Filmmakers take what we can get. So, please cut us some slack,  drop us a line at our pathetic Hotmail  account, and we'll put you on the mailing list for our lowly newsletter.

Oh, and as for knowing the difference between fiction and reality-- no such thing exists: Life inspires Art and Art inspires Life.

It's true. Skeletor told me so.

I aplogize for my rudeness. I wish you lots of luck on your film. I know all about Indie films, I'm a strong and avid supporter. I was interested in a project by a group known as 'OUTLAWSANDBANDITS', they were looking for some production money. They also have a hotmail address: outlawsandbandits@hotmail.com

I read an ad in 'BACKSTAGE' and also in 'FILMMAKER', I corresponded with them on thier budget needs, and to no prevail, they ceased communications. Oh well, I hope to encounter another indie film short of finances, it would be a pleasure to add the experience to my life. Once again, I apologize, and I wish you the best of luck.

TWAN:
Pumpkin Dork?
Wowee, I am so hurt. I think I just might go cry my little eyes out.
And, damn, that insult is so original. I bet you spent hours thinking that one up. You probably even had a few of the pimple-faced kids on your street come to your pad for a sleep over just to see if it appealed to their warped little prepubescent minds.
I'm touched that you chose to spend that time thinking of... *snif* ....ME. You're such a nice guy. Or gal. Whatever the case may be. The name "Twan" is a little too vague for me.
--Isn't that the sound a country-western guitar makes? Please clear this up for me, I'm a little hazy on the subject.

Love and Kisses,
Pumpkin Dork

PS: Thanks for the new name, it sounds great!
