Spider-Man 3
James Franco stirred up the spider's web when it was said that he said that there would be re-shoots for Spider-Man 3. See the problem there? It looks like a game of telephone. When the word came out -- through MTV by the way -- it was also said that the re-shoots were necessary to put more action in the film; something that was supposedly lacking in test screenings.
Well, quite worrying, it turns out all this was incorrect and James Franco was somehow misquoted.
Spider-Man 3 Re-Shoots... I Don't Think So
The good people over at Cinescape have recently caught up with James Franco for his upcoming film Flyboys and amongst all the World War I discussion came in Spider-Man 3. This time, choosing his words carefully of course, James Franco made it a point to clear up the confusion.
“Yeah, I guess on SPIDER-MAN, no one really has to swing from building,” Franco says with a laugh. And although the Internet is rife with chatter about last minute reshoots on the sequel, Franco says that those rumors are false.
“Oh, there was some quote that was actually much ado about nothing in regard to some test screenings that never took place and there wasn't enough action in it,” says Franco. “That was a lot of baloney. I think that I was asked, 'What are you going to be re-shooting?' and I think I said, 'Some actions.' It was just scenes that were already in it that we were only filling out a bit.”
There you have it. To find other ways to misquote Franco, check out the entire interview.
