Sam Raimi Keeping it Real in Spider-Man 3
The director says realism is the watchword for the third film.
Here's what Spider-Man 3 director Sam Raimi told Wizard magazine for its Mega Movie issue:
"Raimi talked about the script, potential villains and improvements he wants to make in the look of the characters, particularly the web-slinger. When Spider-Man moves, it will be even cooler next time around.
"'We're really trying to shoot for a level of reality that we haven't yet achieved with the Spider-Man films,' Raimi said.
"'In between working on the film, tentatively set to begin filming in January 2006,' Raimi said. He is working on the Spider-Man 2.5 DVD and avoiding horror films, strange for a man who produced The Grudge and Boogeyman."
Also, Spider-Man 2 FX supervisor Scott Stokdyk told Palisades Post he's already working on the third film and animation supervisor Spencer cook told VFX World that he's joined the crew as well.
Finally, fan favorite and famous chin Bruce Campbell tells The Age he's looking forward to a juicy role in the third film. "I gave Spider-Man his name in the first one, and I defeated Spider-Man in the second one (that snooty usher I played didn't let him into the theatre). In the third, there'd better be something just as amazing," he says.
