Spider-Man 3 movie summary

I have found a Spiderman 3 movie plot, here something to share :-

Peter Parker basks in the spotlight with his public success as his superhero alter ego, Spider-Man. Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy pursue Parker for his affections, and Parker begins to grow overconfident, neglecting those who care for him. When the Police tell Parker and his aunt that the new evidence shows Sandman as being responsible for killing Uncle Bent (you could refer :-Sandman killed Uncle Ben in archives), Parker goes after the alleged perpetrator personally. As Spider-man, he battles Sandman and his former friend Harry. During this time, an astroniught John Jameson bring back an alien life force to earth with him (this plot remembered me of Spiderman the Animated Series). The forces forms a symbiotic relationship with Peter’s costume, influencing his behavior for the worse. As a result, Spiderman has to fight the villains within, until he finally tears the symbiote from his body. The Symbiote found a new host, Eddie Brock and become Venom.

Carnage

Carnage is one of the most deadliest enemy of Spiderman. Carnage or his real name is Cletus Kasady is a serial killer that bonded with the separate extraterrestrial symbiote worn by Venom.

Cletus Kasady was once a serial killer and become Carnage after bonding with alien symbiote left by venom during a prison breakout. Before he become Carnage, Kasady was convicted 11 murders, although he bragged about commiting dozens. With the powers and abilities he gained from the symbiote he became one of the most insane super villains Spiderman ever had. Carnage not also has to face Spiderman but Venom who always interested in killing him. In mini series Venom vs. Carnage, carnage gives “birth” to Toxin, a symbiote from Carnage that bonded with a police officer. Carnage felt nothing but hated Toxin and attempted to kill him, where Venom defended Toxin.

The suit gives superhuman strength and also inherited Venom and Spiderman abilities to adhere to any surface, produce web-like substance from his body. He also possesses with superhuman agility and reaction more than compared to Spiderman. Carnage also have the ability to change his part of the body to a weapon and could also separate it as a weapon. The suit also could mimic all kind of clothes (the original is red-black suit). He could block Venom ability to trace him and also immune to Spiderman spider-sense. The suit is made of tough, flexible of organic fibers. Carnage is a formidable hand-to-hand combatant as well as merciless killer.

Venom’s Fate in Spiderman 3

In the last post, we thinking of the venom story possibilities in Spiderman 3. Both possibilities and news we heard that Spiderman surely will wear a New Black Suit. And there will be Venom a Spiderman villains as Topher Grace played as Eddie Brock. But how far will Venom be in Spiderman 3, at the middle of the story or the end of the story? Will Spiderman battle with Venom? And will Venom die in the story just like other villains in last Spiderman movie?

Here’s my prediction after gone through necessary articles and news. I think Venom doesn’t die in this film. He will be Spiderman villains in the next movie. In Spiderman 3, there will be only an origins for Venom, how Venom character been created. And I predicted that venom wills only making his first appearance in this film. And he will be in the next Spiderman films where Carnage also been needed as a villains too. Or venom will never appeared in this film except a story about Eddie Brock same as Professor O’Connor’s that appeared in the last 2 films but yet did not become a Lizards Man.

It is just my wild prediction, as same as you I would also like that Spiderman 3 will be more interesting than the last movie. And it would be very interesting to have Venom in action in Spiderman 3. Looking forward for May 07.

Spider-Man 3 : Venom

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Venom surely will be appeared in the next Spiderman movie, as Topher Grace played as Eddie Brock the person who will be hosting the venom. But there is still a questions how the story goes, how the symbiote bond with Spiderman in the first place ? (the new trailer show that Spiderman bond with the “suit”). There is 3 different stories on how venom is created and bond with Eddie Brock.

The original stories in The Amazing Spiderman, the symbiote (venom) is an alien living creature that bond with Spiderman after a battle in an alien planet. Spiderman been directed to a facilities which he could find a new costume, met with the black fluid automatically bond with Spiderman In form of costume. Spiderman use this new black suit back on earth. But somehow manage to get rid of the suit, which then the suit find new host ; Eddie Brock.

In Spiderman the animated series, the John Jameson bring back a strange rock which called “Prothemium X” . The rock contains the symbiote and escape from the rock, bond with Spiderman and later met Eddie Brock , thus called themselves as Venom.

Different with the Ultimate Spiderman, Peter Parker and Eddie Brock father experimental a cure for cancer called “Venom”, It is in kind of suit that will be bonded to human to cure the cancer. But they discovered that the suit also potentially be used as a weapon. Eddie Brock then exposed to the last sample of the suit and bonded with him.

That was the three different origins stories, and I wonder how will be the stories of venom in Spiderman 3. The clue is that we have John Jameson in the last film and this next film…maybe John Jameson will bring the Prothemium X Rock to earth (like Spiderman Animated series) thus bringing together venom with him. Or maybe venom is an experimental living symbiote by Oscorp that later bond with Spiderman. Or they maybe there is a new origin for appearance of the Venom in Spiderman 3. What we are very sure, Spiderman bonded with the venom first and then get rid of it.

Spiderman Original Costumes

Even though Spiderman costumes changes over the years since his original, but it is said to be remains fairly consistent. The standard is a form-fiting bodysuit, which from the waist down is blue, except for mid-calf boots with a black pattern on a red background. From the waist up, the fabric is a red –black web pattern, except for his back, sides and insides of his arms, which are blue. There is a large red spider outline on his back, and smaller black spider emblem on his chest.

This standard costume varies and depending on artist, Spiderman also sometimes wore underarm webbing connecting his arms to his torso, and his sometimes wore the black and red costumes instead of the original blue and red. In Spiderman 3, we might see Spiderman wearing the new black and red costumes vary from his last 2 movie. His boots mask and gloves can be folded and put it into the pocket while the rest of his costume can be worn under his civilian’s clothes.

In the secrets wars series, Spiderman get new costumes. It is black costume with large spider emblem in his chest and back. It is actually an alien symbiote which reflects to Spiderman thought about new costume and bond with Spiderman. The costume also can mimic the civilian’s clothes. Peter stop to wear this costume when the costume start to control his mind (you will see this costume in Spiderman 3). Then this costume (alien symboite) bond with new host; Eddie Brock and called themselves “Venom”.

There are also many costume that Spiderman wear especially in other versions of Spiderman. I will discuss it on the next post..okey ..chow.

Spiderman Equipment

For the last 2 Spiderman movie, we didn’t saw Spiderman used any equipment (as I can remember). But in other media ; comics, animated series or even the 70,s television series, Spiderman used some equipment in his career as a superhero. I have listed some of Spiderman equipment that have been used for all this years. Yeraghhhh…

Web-shooter

Yes, a web-shooter to shot web. Peter originally didn’t produces web itself (organic web). He made a web shooter since he thinks that a spider should have an ability to shoot web. This ‘home made’ devices fire an adhesive “webbing” (also home made) through a threaded adjustable nozzle. The trigger rest high in the palm and requires double tap from the middle two fingers to activate it. He must reload it with small cartridges of web. But at later versions where Spiderman began to produce it own web fluid (organic web) as in the Spiderman movie.

Webbing

The shooter will not be useful without the web or webbing. Spiderman had found a way to produces a synthetic web reloaded to his web shooter. This web fluid was developed to be a special synthetic adhesive that dries immediately into strong material in exposure to oxygen. Spiderman stop using these web shooter and web fluid to produced web after he could produce his own organic web.

Spider-tracers

Spiderman had designed a small electronic device called “spider tracer” to track objects or individual. It is seen on Spiderman television series, animated series and comics but in the movie Spiderman doesn’t have it yet. A tracer’s outer casing is shaped like spider, with legs for aerodynamics flight. The tracers are small enough to remain unnoticed, in general. In the earlier stories, Spiderman use the small electronic receiver to follow the signals of the tracer, but eventually he has modified the tracer to emit signal he can follow with his spider-sense.

Utility belt

Spiderman keeps his regular equipment in this utility belt such as fluid cartridges,
Spider-tracers, and his camera.

Spider-mobile

Spider-mobile been introduced in Amazing Spiderman #160, where Corona motors approaches Spiderman to use their non-polluting motor to install in the Spider-mobile which Spiderman will design it. It seems to be useful at a moment until the villains used it against Spiderman. Spiderman return the heavily damage Spider-mobile to Corona.

There you are some of the spiderman equipment, I beleive there is some more that I did not listed. And I hope to see Spiderman use some kind of equipment in the next movie.

The Sandman Killed Ben Parker? Spiderman 3 Scene

While there has been many spoilers concerning the latest Spider-Man 3 out on the web, blackfilm.com has come to learn that last Friday, June 30th, the latest sequence shot was at the New York Public Library.

For those who recall the first film very well, you may remember that it was at the library where Peter Parker had seen his uncle, Ben Parker, die in his arms after being carjacked in the street and that as he chased the killer Peter Parker/ Spider-Man used his webs for the first time to fly around the city to catch him. After catching the killer, played by Michael Papajohn, in an abandoned warehouse, Parker remembered that it was he who first saw the killer at the sports arena where he wrestled and let him go initially after the thief/ killer stole the gate money. In a fight with Spider-Man, the killer had fell out of a window to his death.

Well, the producers have brought back Cliff Robertson as Uncle Ben and re-created the exact scene by the library where Ben died and have placed Thomas Hayden Church, who's playing Flint Marko aka Sandman there as well. We never did see the scene where Ben was carjacked and killed, just his body on the floor when Peter saw him. Placing the Sandman in that scene could have new meaning to the story, especially since it was Ben's death that made Peter take his life more serious and his role as Spider-Man to greater depths. Robertson also appeared in the sequel as well.

The Sandman

The other villian that will be appearing in Spiderman 3 is Sandman. One of the earlier villian for Spiderman. In movie, sandman will be played by Thomas Haden Church.
Sandman or William Baker was abandoned by his father and live in peverty with his mother. His life make him trapped into theft and cheating and ended involved in more and more illegal activity under an alias name Flint Marko. He been caught but managed to esccape. He found himself near a Savannah Beach, Georgia, where he made contact to the sand that had been irradiated by an experimental reactor. His body ant the radioaktive sand bonded and change his molecular structure into a sand/dirt-like substance. Marko found that he could transform all his body to sand and called himself The Sandman.

Sandman has the ability to transform into a malleable sand-like substance which can be hardened, dispersed, or shaped according to his will. Even if his body is blown apart he is capable of reforming it. He also capable to merge with the natural sand and manipulate it like his normal body or use to add strength and reform himself with it. He has strength several time in excess from Spiderman make him equal to the Thing. In the Spiderman 3, Sandman are said to be team up with Green Goblin 2@Harry Osborn to destroy Spiderman. And this should be more interesting.

Venom

Venom will be one of the villains in Spiderman 3, and one of my favorite villains. Venom commonly thought of as an arch-enemy of Spiderman. Venom first appeared in The Amazing Spiderman # 298 in march 1988. Created by David Michelinie and Todd McFarlene as the artist. Venom or his real name is Eddie Brock was a reporter who held a personal grudge against Peter parker and Spiderman. Venom is the result of symbiosis between an alien-form and a living host (Eddie Brock).

Venom created from the living symbiote that used Peter Parker as a living host. When Spiderman damages his costume, he was directed to the a facility where he can find a new costume (Secret Wars # 8). He then active a machine that released a black liquid ( symboite), when he touched the liquid, it covers his body and reacted to Spiderman tought about new costume. It was a surprised for Spiderman to know that “his new costume” can mimic street clothes and provides a seemingly inexhaustible supply of webbing. Back on earth, Spiderman began to use his new costume, but then he learn that the suit or symboite wishes to fuse permanently with him, and control him while he sleeps. At one time he almost killed Mary Jane. With the helps from Mr. Fantastic, Spiderman then removes the symboite using sonic wave of the bell at church. The Symboite slitters away. The Symboite then met Eddie Brock, attracted by Eddie Brock intense hatred of Spiderman, symboite bonds with him and imparts the knowledge of Spiderman secret identity. They named themselves as Venom.

Venom posess the abilities parallel to Spiderman (Symboite carried the abilities from his original host), ; superhuman strength, agility, superhuman reflexes, shoot web and ability to adhere to walls. Because of Eddie Brock’s natural physical strenght from weight-trainning, his strenghth as Venom is greatly increase far from Spiderman. Venom body is highly resistant to physical injury, and capable of healing injury of the host. Venom also imumne to Spiderman Spider Sense. The Symboite bonds with Eddie for a long period and the symboite also “gift birth” to Carnage (Kletus Casady). Besides bonding with Brocks, the symboite also bond with The Scorpion (Mac Gargan) as a new venom.

In Spiderman 3 film, Eddie Brock play by Topher Grace. A leaked production sketch and prototype bust show that the movie Venom bears similarity to both the movie's Black costume and McFarlane's early Venom design. For example, the bust keeps the movie's raised webbing, but it has a more organic, vein-like appearance, and an exposed mouth. Based on the production sketch, Venom's "Big White Spider" symbol remains intact.

Dunst weaves future with Spidey to director

Dunst weaves future with Spidey to director
November 2, 2006
BY CINDY PEARLMAN

Kirsten Dunst says it's a tangled web.
She just wrapped "Spider-Man 3," but says her future with another film in the series is a bit iffy.

"I wouldn't do another one without [director] Sam Raimi," Dunst says. "He would have to come back. He's the heart of the film and makes the movie unique and so special.
"He feels the responsibility for his audience. So I wouldn't do it without Sam. He's our glue."
That said, she is happy to report that work on "Spider-Man 3," is pretty much finished.

"I have some more blue-screen things to do, and there are additional special FX scenes to put in," she says. "I do think it's going to be a real extravaganza with so many characters and villains. I'm even going to be surprised when I see the film."

Dunst, now starring in "Marie Antoinette," shared a few secrets from the set.
"My character Mary Jane is an actress on Broadway," Dunst previews. "There's Spider-Man -- and I'm not sure what else I should say."
The film revolves around the moon giving Spider-Man special powers, which come in handy when he must battle a bevy of baddies including Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) and Venom (Topher Grace).

Dunst admits she had taken a little heat from opening her mouth in the past.
"I didn't really say anything about the character of Venom," she says. "I was in a room with journalists and they asked me about who was playing certain villains. I saw on IMDB that Venom was cast. So I asked my publicist, 'It's out, isn't it?' "
The film did get Dunst thinking about what superpower she would like to have in real life. "I'd like to be able to cure people of disease."

4th Villian,Deeper Details Of That Spider-Man 3 And Mysterio Story

Source from : Filmick.blogspot.com

Apparently, I'm now told by my very dependable source, the appearance of Bruce Campbell as Quentin Beck in Spider-Man 3 is to play out something a little like this:

Peter Parker finds out about a Spider-Man movie being made and goes to the set to check it out. Avi Arad and Sam Raimi have cameos as the producer and director. Quentin Beck is the movie's special FX guy. The fact that Peter and MJ are both in the public eye - though one can never reveal that he is - is milked for a little bit of fun too.

This brief cameo appearance by Beck is just about the full the breadth and depth of the "4th villain" mystery. That makes this a genuine spoiler, I suppose.

We saw all the pics of the Spideyfest and all of the merchandise and kids in Spidey costumes - and I presume this movie ties in with all of that Spidey-Mania.

I'm starting to feel a little Spider-Maniacal myself. Roll on May 2007 - Filmick

Doctor Octopus

Appear as the villain for Spiderman 2 was Dr. Octopus. Doctor Octopus or Dr. Otto Octavius first appeared in Amazing Spiderman # 3 and created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko as the artist. “Doc. Ock” (as Spiderman always call him) was a highly intelligent mad scientist with his powerful mechanical “octopus hand”. In Spiderman 2, the character played by Alfred Molina.

Before his turning himself into the enemy of Spiderman, Otto Octavius was a brilliant and respected nuclear physicist, inventor and lecturer. He wanted to marry his girlfriend but his mother did not agree. When his woman died of cancer, Otto rebuked his mother causing her to fatal heart attack. He then designed a set of highly advanced mechanical tentacles arms to assist him with the atomic research. These mechanical arms were attached to him, and then the accident happened (radiation leak and ended with explosion). The explosion caused mutation and brain damage (interpreted that his mind rewiring himself to accommodate 4 extra limbs), that he could control the arms using his thought alone. And since then, then scientist turned his life to a crime.

Doctor Octopus has been hinted as being a low-level telepathic mutant, but no superpowers have been outrightly revealed. He is a bona fide genius in the fields of atomic physics, in which he holds a Ph. D in robotics. His arms are capable of lifting up to eight tones, the reaction time and agility of this mecahnical appendages is enhance far beyond the range attainable for human musculature. This allow Octaviaus to move rapidly over ant terrain and to scale vertical surfaces and ceilings. “Doc Ock” posesse total of three harnesses during his life,
the original tintanium harness, a more enhance and powerful adamantium and the latest modified in 2004 to resemble the version seen in Spiderman 2.

Spiderman Movies Villains

Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Sandman, Venom. Carnage, Kraven, Vulture, Shocker and many more are villains for Spiderman. These villains appeared in most of the comic’s series and animated series.

In past Spiderman movies, we have seen Green Goblin (Spiderman 2002) and Dr. Octopus (Spiderman 2), the villains for Spiderman. And for the next Spiderman 3 (May 2007) three villains will be appearing, namely Sandman, Venom and return of the Green Goblin ... Green Goblin 2 (Harry Osborn).

In the 1st movie, Green Goblin was Norman Osborn, one of the director and a person who started Osborn Corporation. Norman Osborn is said to be a genius in science. He injected himself with the serum (to enhance superhuman strength) for Military Project testing. The serum not only gave him superhuman strength but also made him insane. Green Goblin use “Flying Glider” and high tech equipment like “Pumpkin Bomb” to terrorist the New York City. As in the film the costume a bit different with the original in the comic, but still both are wearing green costume. In comics, Green Goblin was first appeared in Amazing Spiderman # 14 (July 1964) dressed garish green and purple costume. Both comic and movie agreed, Green Goblin knows who really Spiderman was and Green Goblin died the same way in the film and comic ( believe to be dead).
The Green Goblin character grew and there is some people dressed as the goblin after Green Goblin died. Harry Osborn is the Green Goblin 2 return to take revenge for Spiderman (Spiderman 3), Bart Hamilton was the 3rd Green Goblin when he discovered Harry secret. Then the Hobgoblin appeared, instead of wearing green the Hobgoblin wore brown, Hobgoblin used the equipment left by the last Goblin. There were also many people who appeared as Hobgoblin for example Phil Ulrich and Roderick Kingsley.
