Spiderman 3 trailer up today!!!!

[NightStalkerGtx]

http://www.kristiandavid.com/spidey

go to apple.com/trailers at 2:30ET today for the Spider-Man 3 trailer

It was on that site b4, but I guess as he says someone crashed it/

[Shockwave]

I got to see Superman early and saw the Spider-man trailer along with it.





----------------SPOILERS!!!!!!!---------------------------------------





















..................AND IT KICKED MY ASS. HARD.


Sandman ripping up New York? Green Goblin attacking in full armor! The venom suit IN ITS FULL GLORY OOZING ONTO SPIDERMAN! Parker trying to rip it off an a very cool scene involving a church ripped from he comics. GWEN STACY being rescued. Parker falling from a ways up trying to grasp his wedding ring on the way down.(VERY spiffy shot)

Seeing GG again was cool, Sandman looked great for the few seconds it showed him, but the black comstume was ALLLL over the trailer.

This teaser trailer kicked the ass out of most every normal sized trailer ive seen this year. Beating Spider-man 2 is going to take some doing, but man, i gotta say, this looks to have a shot at it.:cool:

[Tuukka]

A pretty fucking kickass teaser.

[Taors]

Damn, I didn't catch it in time. :(

[Dead Halloween]

Bad quality teaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoE1JXeGFqE)

[AspectRatio1986]

Speaking of Spider-Man 3 (which I'm stoked for), what other movies do we have to look forward to for the summer of 2007? Besides the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean ofcourse...

[Shockwave]

Well, we know who the threee villians are now.

Sandman as the thug thatll take up the bulk of the fighting.

GG for dramatic climax.

Venom on the side-lines for the most part acting as an UNWANTED ally in this one, and probsbly merging with Brock at the very end or at the beginning of the fourth one.

Im hoping for a cool twist or two in this one, i know for awhile Harry was a good guy in the Green Goblin suit, itd be cool to see him thinking hes doing good and its his methods that make him and Peter fight.

..or hell, have him AND Spider-man team up to fight the Sandman at the end out of depseration. Comic team-ups rule.

Spider-Man ftw.

[Scarfather]

SANDMAN LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME OMFG RRRRRRASAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR '
FMJDNFVNFJONVJ

[someguy]

Not surprising for me, the teaser didn't do anything.

I don't know what's with me, I've tried liking the movies but I can't. I guess the Spider-Man series aren't my cup of tea, and while this preview seems to have a universal liking I didn't care for it. I think I'll be skipping this movie though, after the first two I don't think the third will change it around.

[Scarfather]

How could you watch that and not get anything out of it????

I guess it's all in personal taste, but I'll take this over everything else next summer any day.

Me thinks Sin City 2, Transformers, Ratatouille, Ocean's 13, 300, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (most likely) The Bourne Ultimatum, Die Hard 4, Fantastic Four & The Silver Surfer, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Shrek 3

And most importantly...

THE TEASER TRAILER TO INDIANA JONES 4 possibly attatched to Pirates 3.

[Dom Shady]

DAMN YOU SPIDEY!! TEASING ME!! I can't wait until May 4th, 2007!

[Short Bus 59]

Ok so i slow moed the whole thing at it kicked even more ass but i am still wondering why the grenn goblin doesnt really have a mask and he is purple? I guess maybe i havent done my research but still. He didnt look very cool at all, maybe those pics are just from his early stages when he is becoming or something but if anyone has some answers for me i would love to hear them!

Trailer gave me goosebumps!

[thedudeman69]

Wow. That was one of THE MOST AWESOME teasers I have ever seen. It gave up some juicy scenes already. Damn it, Summer 2007 can't come any faster!

Definently can agree with you on that one. When I first heard he was in the film, I was kinda iffy on the idea. But now I'm starting to change my opinion....

[bfox1220]

I havent really read any comic books so im just curious.....................whats the deal with the Gwen Stacy story line????

[outsyder]

In the comics, Green Goblin killed her at the bridge scene paralleled in Spider-Man 1.

Basically, she was Peter's girlfriend at the time.

[Bourne101]

Holy fucking shit! This looks sooooooo damn good. They haven't even been shooting that long have they? This is one of the best teasers I've ever seen.

[Mr. Fred Krueger]

This looks amazing. Hard to believe it's still a year away.

[AspectRatio1986]

In the word's of the Kool Aid Punch Bowl
"OOOOOOOOOO YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"

[jackskellington]

Now that is what you call a good "TEASER TRAILER"! Man, this spidey 3 is going to be awesome. After seing this trailer I can't even imagine how part 4 will be. More time with Venom maybe Lizard after all he was shown in part 2 in human form that is. What do you guys think?

[Cronos]

loved the trailer, looks like its going to have some amazing effects and also could be the best of the 3

cant wait

[reznik]

Looks awesome, but why does Toby look like a wanna be emo punk in some of the pictures?! WHYYY?!

[Raul Duke]

Hobgoblin isnt finished, cant be. Those picks look like a dude in a paintball mask and no costume

[AspectRatio1986]

Well you gotta remember that Spidey started with sweat pants and a ski mask, so I'm guessing that's why he looks like that.

[Quigles]

http://img458.imageshack.us/img458/6170/spidey3emo21zi.jpg

[Thrizzle]

That haircut is going to ruin the movie for a lot of people, including myself. OK maybe not ruin, but it will be ridiculed.

[Scarfather]

He does look like a stupid Conor Oberst wannabe, but I've said plenty of this 'WILL RUIN THIS MOVIE FOR ME, RABBLE RABBLE' (Green Goblin's costume in Spider-Man, tons of the line's in the Brokeback Mountain trailer, Jack Black's existence in King Kong, Lindsay Lohan in A Prairie Home Companion) that I got over when I saw the flick, and this will most likely be one of those.

I hope Spider-Man defeats the Sandman with a big fuckin' vacuum, like he did in the comics. :D

It's obviously a "Dark Peter" hair style. Me thinks when he has the normal suit and not the symbiot that it'll look more...normal.

[ChemicalRomance]

What a final shot!

Wow I cannot freaking wait.

[The Young Son]

Looks awesome!

[adamjohnson]

Well he doesnt have the freakin suit. That was Norman's.

[Sam180]

Kickass teaser. It definitely left me wanting more and I can't wait for the final trailer and the movie itself. I was a little disappointed that the black suit wasn't true to the comics in design (ie: the huge white spider emblem on the chest/back), but that was easily forgiven after watching the teaser. After watching X3, I find myself thinking now every time I see a sequal coming up "please don't suck, please don't suck". I don't think I'll have to worry about that this time seeing as how ole' Sammy is back. The thing I'm hoping for the most is that the movie, with THREE villains this time, is AT LEAST 2 hours long. None of this 1:30 crap like X3. Two to 2 1/2 hours long is what this baby needs to be...with loads of screen time and character development for all three villains. My next biggest hope is that Venom is the main villain...but somehow I doubt he will be. :(

[ilovemovies]

I wasn't blown away like a lot of you seem to be, but it's a solid teaser nonetheless. Looks pretty cool. Nothing more.

:D
ENOUGH!

*Begins speaking in semi-serious Cockney accent*

We have till first quarter of next year, when the final trailer hits before we can do any SERIOUS thrashing on S-M 3, so until then my fellow schmoes...enough with the emo jokes. Especially since I found out not too long ago what an Emo person is...and they kinda creep me out...and not in a good way.

As for the trailer, to quote a great schmoe, allow me to go...uh, ergh, argh, AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*HEAD EXPLODES, SCANNERS-STYLE, DUE TO SHEER AWESOMENESS OVERLOAD FROM SPIDER-MAN 3 TEASER TRAILER*

[MrPhox]

Did anyone notice during the Harry/Hobgoblin scenes in the trailer...specifically when he smashes into the side of teh building...that it was Peter Parker in a grey casual suit -- not a spiderman outfit? I wonder what that means...

[hatePiLL]

wow.. that just totally kicked my ass! i just love the fact that it looks and feels like the first two, not like other sequels and trilogies out there.

[hatePiLL]

[Spidey23]

great trailer; definitely not a teaser cause they show so much (maybe too much i think)

the movie is still in works and we have this soon already a teaser
(probably the action scenes are already shot or something like that)

still can't believe we saw so much in this teaser; i thought it was gonna be somlething like the first 30 secs of that teaser


the hair of Tobey is stupid IMO, but i don't think it will bother me...
i'm guessing sandman will be a liitle villain in this one; the black suit(dear i say symbiote?) and harry will be the big villains i think.
i think sandman will be a villain that normal spidey can't beat, but once he has the black costume (and the enhanced powers) he will have no problem beating sandman. i think that's a part of the story

we'll see right

[Shockwave]

Does anyone else find it funny that they go out of the way to make DOC OCK, SANDMAN, and SPIDER-MAN look pretty much identical to the comic but they keep getting more and more power rangerish and strange with the Green Goblins suit?

:confused:

..although i do have a feeling that Venom is going to be more Carnage looking(he was in the comics for a little bit)

[bigred760]

Hot damn what a great teaser. It looks like it'll have that same awesome style that Raimi gave the first two.

Haha. I wasn't bashing the movie. I thought the teaser looked badass, and regardless of how "Dark Peter" looks, the movie is still going to rox my sox.

In all fairness, this would not look good on screen, CGI or not.

[Lazy Boy]

It was great seeing this on the big screen. The reaction was HUGE.

[Shockwave]

The original Green Goblin costume could look menacing as hell if done right. That is just a crap costume.

GG running around in tights wouldnt look any more silly then Superman in his inside-out red underwear.:)

Take that picture, make the green and purple MUCH darker, bulk the guy up underneath, and give him glowing red/yellow eyes, or cover the slits up completely just like Spider-man. Bam.

Looking at it closer, it's the same outfit in the shot wehre he's reaching for the wedding ring. So, PP gets attacked, presumably before he proposes. So, this is definitely notthe final GG costume, more of the impromptu one.

I STILL don't buy that Venom is dispatched at the end of the movie. That would just be WAYYYYYY too short of screentime for the villian, even IF the symbiote survives.

I dont know why Harry would hepl Peter fight Venom and I dont know why they would 'end' Venom/Eddie Brock in a single fight. It's too crowded and seems stupid.

The only thing I maintain is that HArry helps Peter beat Sandman, and does. Then when Harry and Peter fightm Peter kills Harry, which is why he dispatches the suit.

The final shot is a full on Venom /Eddie Brock howl.

There;s no POINT to having the final climactic battle scene be witha villian who's been in it for 2 fucking minutes.

[Scarfather]

omfg

You want to know how this film effects people? I just got back from Superman Returns and after the trailer was finished a kid said 'Holy shit!' to which his mom immediately slapped him over the head, it was a kodak moment.

I think the end will play out like it does in the cartoon. The bell rings with Peter standing next to it and the Symbiote detaches itself from him. Peter, now unmasked is seen by Brock (who looks up and says "Parker". Then the Symbiote crawls away and somehow latches onto Brock and the final shot will be Venom in all his glory. It'll be a cliffhanger that fans will be left with and they won't be able to stand waiting for the next installment.

That could happen in the middle as well, or towards the end - making for a kickass finale.

See, thats EXACTLY how I think it hsould be. But I read the Spoiler report, and it says

SPOILERS AHEAD


"Venom is conclusively dispatached, but the symbiote survives, leaving whatever hack replaces Raimi to pick up the pieces."


END SPOILERS

So, I hope that this isn't true.

[Luke-Abbott]

Any doubts I may have had for this movie have just gone out the window, that was a GREAT trailer! I cannot wait for next year! Bring on Spider-Man 3!!

Originally posted by adamjohnson

Didn't Eddie Brock go to jail at one point after being stripped of the symbiote? Then later it finds Eddie, bounds back with him and helps him break out of jail (I think this happened in BOTH comic and cartoon series)? If thats the case for this movie, there still may be hope for Venom in SM4.

[Scarfather]

I read a small story outline awhile back on a spoiler site, and it had the clock tower scene happening in the middle, and Peter and Harry team up to take down Venom. Might be kind of cheesy in this darker version, but I'd be willing to see it if it was done right.

[Patrick Bateman]

An absolutely stunning teaser!

I agree that THC as The Sandman just flat out rocked!

And that last shot was nothing short of spectacular..

[IndianaJones07]

This will be the last movie -- as cool as it would be to keep making them, everyone is signed on for 3 and will move onto other things when this one is through...sadly...

Everything looks rediculously cool, outside of Harry's curly locks hanging out of his pseudo-Cyclops mask. One problem though, which isn't that big of a deal, but for continuity's sake...

Though it's all a rediculously wide stretch, between the super-spider and the tritium energy ball...each movie has somehow managed to make the overall plot remotely believable, whether it's a science thing we don't understand or a military weapon or w/e...how in the hell are they going to keep that up and make a man who makes giant sand creations and a symbiote taking over a suit? I guess the symbiote can be stretched, but the sandman one will throw me...It seems they're not just gonna say, "he's a European circus freak," it seems as if the producers would want a little more evidence...

...thoughts?

I'm 90% sure this isn't the last movie. As I'm not mistaking the first appereance of venom in the cartoon also consists of 2 episodes. Like already mentioned: Brock will get the symbiote at the end of the movie==> major cliffhanger. Does anyone know how the Sandman get his powers in the comicbook ?

Yup, while he was escaping from Rykers Island which is a prison, he travelled through an abandoned tunnel to a beach near Savana, Georgia that had recently been iradiated by a some experimental nuclear reactor. Therefore, the sand and dirt bonded on the molecular level with him and while he does look normal, he is able to transform himself into sand in any shape or form.

That's how he gets his powers. :D

[blankpage]

I enjoy the Spider-Man movies, but I'm not a big fan of them like a lot of the schmoes are. However, seeing this teaser on the big screen gave me some serious goosebumps. This definitely looks like it could be the best of the Spidey flicks, so I'm very pumped.

[STEELERMAN]

Trailer looks awesome......but I wonder how they plan to explain in the movie how when the symbiote goes on peter he still looks normal but when it goes on eddie he's gonna turn into some kinda crazy lookin monster (or if they even explain it at all). I also think its funny how their gonna have the biggest cliffhanger of all in the one thats suppost to be the last movie.

[blankpage]

I don't think this is the last Spidey film. There have been a lot of talks of plenty of more Spider-Man films to come in the future. Hence the cliffhanger, I guess.

I'll field that one:

The Symbiote combined with Brock's rage and personality are what produce Venom. In the cartoon, it is said that "anyone can bond with the Symbiote, but only Brock's anger and lust for revenge could produce a creature like Venom. He is unique in that way".

[The Young Son]

Found this on an obscure website:

It appears that Uncle Ben's death was not entirely one man's fault.

that sounds extremely stupid, but i bet it looks like it will translate well to the bigscreen

[popof6]

Thx, I'm curious if they gonna keep the same characterdevelopment as in the comic.

I hope you're right, I really do -- I'd love a 4th -- but I would think the crew would want to eventually do more than just Spiderman movies, and there's no contract yet -- is that 90% just because of the story or is there some quotes from people who want to make a 4th?

I sort of have the feeling that, as amazing cool as Venom has the potential to be on the big screen, he probably won't have any dialogue, so Foreman turning into him at the end will seeming be the climactic battle when they can show of CGI and give the fans what they want, even though they haven't really been focusing on the 90s comics, it would make a good ending. It seems as if it would be a struggle to make an entire movie, giving Venom the depth that Norman Osbourne or Doc Ock or Harry have...what story would they use? I don't know Venom that well, but he was clung to the symbiote, so did he have the ability to switch between Venom and Brock?

Once again, I hope there is a fourth, but it looks as if the story will be over after three -- harry's story will be done with, peter will be eventually reaching his 30s because the movies aren't frozen in time like the comics, so we'll see...

The same suit he's wearing when he's grabbing for the ring, it sounds like Harry interrupts a wedding to me.

Venom is one of the most complex characters in Spiderman villainy. Brock's reputation was ruined by Spiderman because he wrote a story stating some guy was a villain when he wasn't. Spidey caught the real criminal and Brock was fired. Unable to cope, he went to a church to ask God for forgiveness because he was planning to commit suicide. However he just happened to be there when Peter sheds the Symbiote and it latches and bonds to him.

His rage for spiderman combined with the Symbiote's feelings of rejection created a unique creature...Venom. Venom then vows revenge against Spiderman. But the more hate he has, the more the Symbiote takes over him. He walks, he talks (I'm looking forward to hearing his raspy voice on the silver screen) and he is one of Spidey's most dangerous foes.

Tell me how this character has no depth.

[Shockwave]

Venom doesnt NEED to be complex to work in the movie. Well have Harry and Sandman for complex villians. All Venom has to do is provide a great fight. Parker vrs his darker half. Thats all ill be looking for.

That's all I'm pretty much looking for too -- I just don't think he'll have any legit lines in the movie, because it might be too obscure to see a monster-like animal talking straight english (in regards to the post before mine)

I have no doubt he has a good backstory, but backstory and charcter depth are different in cinema. If all of that backstory is taken care of in 3, then a 4th would just be angry, slobbery Venom, which would look cool and make for good fights, but there wouldn't be as much to him in a full, feature length film -- he would be too static of a character. I'm just still going to go by the fact that, if the symbiote doesn't come off of him, then it'll be hard for an audience to relate with a big black, non-human monster...the idea of a good villian is for their own POV to be concievable -- Norman was brilliant and pursuasive, Doc Ock was a mad scientiest, all archetypes...can Venom bring 2 good hours with more than just mere fighting, if there was to somehow be a 4th?

Ok, first of all, youre so totally off base with the hcaracter of Venom.

See, he's like Spidey. He can be Venom when he wants to be, but most of the time he's just Eddie Brock. Sad, sorry, jobless, angry Eddie Brock.

If you need to look fartehr than this story im about to tell for 'character development' then you're looking in the wrong place.

I remember one of the Todd McFarlane's issues where Peter comes home from crime fighting to find Eddie Brock folding clothes with Aunt May. Peter is furious, Eddie is gleeful, and May is perturbed why Peter is being so rude to this 'nice young man.'.

THAT's why Venom is such a kickass character. He has the alter ego of Ediie Brock, if you didnt know, and knows who Peter is. He even exploits Peter's Spider Sense, making him totally vulnerable to everyhting he does, especialyl since Venom is like a chameleon.

Im sorry, bu tyou obviously dont know a thing about venom to be making such bold statements.

[IndianaJones07]

If it really is a Ying/Yang thing, then that will work -- what was the novel I read where Brock was Stuck as Venom? He had a lot of one-liners and it talked about him not getting the symbiote off? It must have been one of those non-comic orientated novels, Oh well...

Nonetheless, in the movie how do you feel they'll go about Venom, assuming that there won't be a fourth?...

[adamjohnson]

There will be a fourth.

Depending on how they go about this movie however is the key. If, as we all hope, Venom doesnt make an appearance until the last shot of the film, then he'll have an entire movie to work with in the fourth. If he appears midway through the third and all that crap, then it'll be Carnage in the next film. (Andhopefully the rebirth of Norman)

Anyway, a thought I had. So far, they are basing their entire marketing campaign on the 'battle within.' Now, to me, this is very important, because if the battle within were only HALF the movie, as some reports claim (That peter ditches the symbiote at the midway point, instead of at the end) then that just doesnt seem to add up.

I mean, think about, the battle is within. Oh, until he gets rid of it, then the REAL battle is external with this snarling black thing that we havent built up at all.

If we were seriously to have inner turmoil, relationship issues, two MAJOR villians, then there logistically jut wouldnt be TIME to build up Venom in this film.

[IndianaJones07]

Like I already mentioned in this thread, I really do hope there is a fourth -- but what evidence is there outside of the storyline? Is there contracts or anything?

Ok, congrats Adam, you made me do some research...

SPOILERS about comics, maybe movie...

It wasn't a fan novel that I read...the original story with Brock was the whole Church/Suicide thing that's already been mentioned in this thread -- Parker and Brock were feuding while Spiderman and Venom were -- Spidey saw that Venom was stronger, so he went to the doctor who got the symbiote of of Spiderman to get it off of Venom, which didn't work, and neither did re-ringing the bells at the church, which didn't work either. Eventually Spiderman took down Venom, causing the symbiote to be struggling on Brock, and he got put into a prison that he soon broke out of and then got put back into...so he could talk...but he had that Santino Corleone-type character where he was just pure rage and aggression, making him useless outside of the defeat of Spiderman...what Brock and the symbiote did after the being put back into the prison was after the main Venom plotline already occurred...I know the symbiote could change it's appearence but that's when I stopped paying attention to the storylines...

It's been a loooong time since I read all of those, so correct me on any wrong concepts -- but how much moving around of the 90s plot lines are they going to have?

The producers have said that they planned on making 6 Spider-Man movies. Raimi has said he wants to keep going. If Raimi is down, I think Maguire will be down, the only person who I think wanted out was Dunst. With Gwen now in the picture, I think Snaggletooth is easily dispatched.

[popof6]

They also introduced the doctor who becomes the lizard, so this would be a little hint towards spiderman 4,5,6 ?

[Iacon5]

anybody know where i can download this puppy?
this was a great trailer IMO.

[IndianaJones07]

If they made 6 that would be cool, but how old will Spidey eventually be? He's going from 18 to 21 to 23 to 25 to 27 to 30 or something? I'd think that they're bound to have a reallly bad one if there were that many, and it would be repetative, but if people are aboard for it, I'm sure they'll do something cool...

Spider-Man 4:The Quest for Peace...that's what I'm worried about...

Or Spider-Man 5:Spider-Man and Friends against Count Dracula like in the TV show...

This looks like the best one so far , bu then again , i never thought the first two were anything spectacular . They gave me a cheap thrill at times , but overall they are seriously lacking in so many areas , upon repeated viweings they lose their impact and seem so dated , even though they really aren't that old . The effects , the narrative , the acting , it seems like something out of the 80's , i just don't get the mania surrounding them . At least this next one does look like a good film , the effects no doubt look terrific , and they have some cool villains this time around , not like the last one , those tentacles looked like something out of the matrix , and octupus just wasnt a compelling villian , not in the least , and the love story , which is back in this one , still rang hollow , forced , and empty , like it's there for marketing purposes . I know , it's in the comics , and it's handled just as clumsily in the screen adaptation .

I'm not sure i can take much more of a guy in red and black spandex swinging around manhattan , not for another 3 films after this .

I disagree with you on every aspect. =\

So far the Spider-man series has more PROMISE then any other comic book franchise out atm to me, other then possibly Superman.(if done right! The new Supes movie felt a little flat to me, but remember, im not that big of a fan of the first Spider-man though i adore the second!)

[popof6]

I'm still dissapointed about chosing Tobyey Maguire as spiderman.Now i've seen the trailer of spiderman3 ,it would have been a better choice to pick Topher Grace( aka Eric Forman,that 70's show)as Spiderman and not as the venom.Venom should be played by a big powerfull character like Vin Diesel (but younger and more civilized),and not Topher Grave( Eric Forman).Topher is a good actor but no Venom.

Well, I'm wondering if the fact that Grace and Maguire are similar in physical characteristics (other than Grace is 3 inches taller) will play into the movie. But the way Grace looked in the teaser and said "Parker" was creepy. I'm looking forward to where this movie goes.

[adamjohnson]

FOR THE LAST TIME, they are using the "Ultimate Spider-Man' origin of Venom. Eddie Brock in Ultimate is a dark mirror of Peter Parker.

[Shockwave]

The Ultimate version of Venom rocks the normal marvel version.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

I always liked the original versions of Venom and Carnage better than the Ultimate ones...
I hate the standard "genetic engineering" that's so common these days.
