Movie Update - Spiderman, Dark Knight

Just a few updates about movies I'm interested in,it is being reported that both Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi have signed on for Spiderman 4 and 5, which is awesome news, the 3rd movie was kind of a letdown because they just tried to do too much. They might try to shoot both at the same time too, which will lock everyone in and give the movies a set timetable. Sam Raimi is the best man for the job, when he was little he had his bedroom painted with a mural of Spiderman and had always wanted to make these movies. I don't think anyone else could do it better. We'll have to wait and see about the villains, though the Lizard is a definite possibility, as well as the Scorpion, the Vulture, and possibly a return of Venom, although that is already being developed into its own spin-off.






It would be awesome to have a Venom movie that included Carnage as an enemy, those characters were so cool when I was little and Carnage could be pretty crazy since he was a psycho serial killer. God I'm a fucking dork.

Next just an update on The Dark Knight, a recent interview with Aaron Eckhart confirms that the character of Two-Face is definitely dead. I really don't think that this is a huge deal, Christopher Nolan wanted to make a complete movie that wasn"t left open-ended for a sequel. He basically cared more about making a good movie then he did about creating a franchise for the studio, and whatever he's doing is working, so we'll just have to trust his judgement. Plus there is always the possibility that he would have a surprise, small role in the third installment, but don't expect a main character role.

* UPDATE *

My friend just emailed me this article of Michael Caine confirming that Johnny Depp will play the Riddler and Phillip Seymour Hoffman will play the Penguin. I'm still a little sceptical of this, I don't know A) that they would choose those characters or B) that they are anywhere near that point in casting, script, etc.

And finally here is a red-band preview for Zack and Mimi Make a Porno, it looks really funny.
