I must admit that as time goes by I find myself becoming increasingly interested in the Spider Man reboot. Maybe it’s because I really enjoyed the teen-centric Ultimate Spider-Man comics, and TV’s shockingly solid The Spectacular Spider-Man series. Maybe I’m just happy to be done with Kirsten Dunst. Whatever the case, my initial “What’s the damn point” reaction has ebbed out to sea, and now I find myself back to the mindset I’ve had since the early 90’s when James Cameron’s Spider-Man was first rumored. That mindset is just wanting a Spider-Man movie. Or in this case, another Spider-Man movie.
I’m not big for candid/secret on-set photos, because they inevitably always make the film seem crappy. But I know some of you sexy cats dig ’em, and Coming Soon has a handful of new set pics. The most notable is our first good look at Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors – he of the missing arm and Lizardy disposition – which is significantly better than our previous glimpse of (supposedly) Ifans in his Lizard make-up. This thing…
Below the new pic of Ifans and his green hand-sock is also (supposedly) Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben — he’s the little tiny white-haired spec with the brown jacket. For some more pics of actors standing around looking bored, follow the Coming Soon link.

Did you add those pink stars to the “Lizard” picture? Cuz that made me laugh harder than it probably should have.
Nah, that’s how it came. But mental note: add pink stars to future pics.
Three things:
1) I am mad that I was teased with a Dylan Baker Lizard that I will never get.
2) It’s going to be tough convincing me Garfield is a teenager; dude is pushing 30 and I’ve seen him in too many adult roles. He’s a great actor, he just seems too sophisticated to be a teen.
3) The darkened crotch on the Spider-suit disturbs me.
Agreed on #1. I was incredibly mad that we didn’t get to see Dylan Baker as the Lizard- I trust he would have been amazing. Especially since they added him to the last two films for no other reason then to him up.
Raimi’s Spider trilogy had a sad demise. Promising first, amazing second, fucking atrocious third. Oh, for Harry to toss that cunt off a bridge I would have paid quadruple. Can’t help rooting for this to work though. Garfield has been amazing in everything he’s done and he’s near as damnit a hometown boy. GO ON SON!
