James Franco talks Spider-Man 3
While promoting his upcoming film, The
Great Raid, James Franco has asked on repeated occasions
what the deal was with Spider-Man
3. Though Franco does not have a finished script yet,
he didn't mind mentioning a few things about Raimi and the film's production
schedule.
Spider-Man 3 Talk
No, James Franco doesn't even try to give hints
on who the next villain(s) may be, but he does assure us that, knowing Sam
Raimi, we could expect that same kind of character richness that we have
seen in the previous two Spider-Man films. Zap2it
first caught up to James Franco in Los Angeles and, though they were supposed
to be asking questions about The Great Read, couldn't help but
try to get answers on questions for 2007's Spider-Man 3. Check
out a snippet below:
Even if he knows -- and he seems plausibly befuddled -- Franco isn't about to share what parts Grace and Church will play, though the professed "Sideways" fan is apparently looking forward to work with the man who was once Lowell Mather (or Ned, depending on your sitcom tastes). One way or the other, Franco figures the new cast members will be pleased with how different "Spider-Man" is from other lesser genre entries.
"I think the secret to 'Spider-Man' is that the characters are so rich and one of the ways [Sam Raimi] does that is meeting with the actors and really discussing the scenes between the swinging through the buildings," he says.
Zap2it wasn't the only ones who took the opportunity
to talks to James Franco about Spider-Man 3 while he was promoting
The Great Raid. The good people over at BlackFilm
have alerted me to a little bit they have on James Franco, and when he expects
certain production aspects to begin for the film. Check out the snippet
below:
Can you talk a bit about Spiderman
Three? Do you start that soon?
James: Yeah, they’re gearing up. They won’t start the main shoot until January. I don’t think anybody has the script. I’ve met with Sam Raimi a couple of times to talk about it. I think there’s a little shoot. They’re going to shoot something in September. On those movies, they kind of invent a lot of new effects and new techniques so what they do is they usually shoot the scene a few months out so the effects team can start working on that and figuring out everything that they’re going to do so they’re going to shoot one or a couple of scenes in September and then everybody will meet up in January.
Spider-Man 3 slings into theatres on
May 4th, 2007. I would say mark your calendars but they just don't make
this year yet.
