Another report mentions Venom.
Amongst the new report is the latest on additional X-Men
3 mutants as well.
Spider-Man 3 Grips Venom and X3 Softens Colossus
The good people over at Superman-V.Com
have recently sat down with Brian K. Hillard, one of the people working
with on the Superman 'FlyBy'. Though their main objective was to talk about
Superman Returns, a few interesting details popped up that concerned
two other films-- Spider-Man 3 and X-Men 3. I don't know
if Hillard had a few cocktails before the interview, but check out a couple
of nice little slips of info by the fellow.
Q: From the upcoming slate
of movies based on material from comic books which one are most looking
forward to and why? Ghost Rider, V For Vendetta, Watchmen, Sin City sequels,
Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3 etc.
BH: V for Vendetta big time, Watchman; I'm a big Alan Moore
fan, I loved the first Sin City - the next should be a blast as well. I
worked on X-Men 3 for a little stint and the stuff for that looks great.
I also worked on all the Spiderman 3 "Venom" stuff at Steve Johnson's till
we lost that show as well - however, I am excited to see what they come
up with, I'm a big Spiderman fan as well. They need to make a film based
on the new Image Zombie series "The Walking Dead", and I am really excited
about the "30 Days of Night" that is on the way based on the IDW comic written
by the bad ass Steve Niles. I'm a big comic book geek and could go on for
hours talking about this stuff!!!
Q: Which characters did you work on
for X-Men 3?
BH: I worked a bit on the Colossus character.
I guess the biggest piece of news to come out the
first snippet is that Hillard mentions 'Venom stuff', which I would hope
most would guess to be effects or outfits for a Venom character. Since I
have been rooting for the appearance of Venom since the beginning of the
casting call for Spider-Man 3, I am going to take this slip by Hillard as
further evidence that we will have three characters for the upcoming sequel,
and Venom will be one of them.
The other bit of news is the fact that it is likely that Colossus will be
coming back for X-Men 3. In an earlier report, it was mentioned
that Brett Ratner and company was having difficulties to get the actor that
originally played Colossus in X2 to fit into a larger role. Since
it has been so long, I cannot remember if the issue either came down to
acting or inability to handle the increased dialogue. Either way, the guy
still looked pretty tight in X-Men 2.
Spider-Man 3 comes to theatres on May 4th, 2007. X-Men 3
comes to theatres on May 26th, 2006.
For the entire discussion with Hillard on all his latest projects, head
over to Superman-V.
Stay tuned for updates.
