[QUOTE=Dan2593;35814686][URL]http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/122/1224230p1.html[/URL] Interview with director where he explains why he's given Lizard a human face as opposed to the snout. [/QUOTE] "We've seen the origin of Spider-Man, maybe we haven't seen the origin of Peter Parker" I like this and the new trailer
He's kinda hitting the nail on the head. Peter Parker and Tony Stark are two of the few alter egos I like as much as the hero itself and look forward to them just as much.
Just realised, it's entirely possible that [b]this[/b] is true: [IMG]http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z424/BanthaFodder95/lizarduhoh.jpg[/IMG] but it's equally likely that [b]THIS[/b] is true: [IMG]http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z424/BanthaFodder95/lizardhopeful.jpg[/IMG] hopefully, it's the latter.
You can see his earhole, and it makes me think it is that he has a snout.
All of this is confusing the hell out of me though. We see some clips in the trailers that are CLEARLY from the climax, and he still has the Goomba face. Then we see something like that picture, that looks like it'd be in the middle of the movie, and he has a snout... Honestly... it's making me want to see the movie even more... those crafty bastards... [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] this is gonna be HILARIOUS when this comes out though... think about it, we've got all the hipster film snobs who have never read a comic in their lives thinking "this is gonna be SOOOO much better than those stupid, campy Raimi movies. this is the DARK, REALISTIC Spider-Man!" Meanwhile, this movie is the one where *SPOILER*[sp]the Lizard unleashes a biological weapon on New York that turns people into giant lizard people[/sp]*SPOILER*, basically sticking to the comics as far as the tone goes. I'm sure I'm gonna love it, but as is the case with all comic movies, there's nothing as entertaining/infuriating as seeing the reactions of people who have no idea what the hell they're talking about. you know the ones. the ones who think that the Nolan movies are "so much better than those silly children's comics where Batman and his boy wonder escape from death traps".
He doesn't have a snout [quote]There’s a lot that goes into it. When we shot those sequences, we actually shot a human. There was a guy named Big John, who is literally this big guy named John, who did a lot of the interactive stuff. When you’re trying to interact with Peter [Parker], you need someone grabbing him and to do those things, and then we would replace him with the computer-generated lizard. But then, the performance capture was done with Rhys [Ifans]. We would shoot Rhys in a similar environment and get his facial expressions, and we’re still working on that. I just came from trying to incorporate his performance into The Lizard. That takes an enormous amount of time and it’s tricky. In the comics, there are different incarnations of The Lizard. There’s the one with the snout, but I was interested more in something that could relate human emotions because I wanted to keep Rhys’ performance in that creature. Pixar does it extremely well, creating those emotions within characters that are essentially computer-generated. So, getting that nuance and the eyebrow ticks and the looks, and creating something that can actually speak with lips that make sounds, is a very detailed and, frankly, tedious process. But, I really wanted him to have emotion, have a face and have feeling. That’s the way I chose to do that. And then, there’s the physical components of it, which was making him very powerful and strong.[/quote]
Exactly. He's in a lab coat there which means he's JUST transformed because later in the trailer he seems to be naked on a bridge throwing cars off as Spidey catches them. But who knows the Lizard becoming more beastly could be a surprise. I'd rather Lizard turn back to Kurt at the end and be a nice guy than get killed/arrested. Like the comics. Coz then it's open for the Sinister Six. Who the hell was that saying "Did you tell the boy about his parents" to Kurt? Norman Osbourne? As he is Kurts boss.

I don't mind the face at all. I wish he was just wearing some fucking clothes.
Still hoping for this design [IMG]http://i649.photobucket.com/albums/uu218/JKN1178/Lizard.gif[/IMG]

I can't see how anybody doesn't like the look of that.

Shit. Webb really knows what makes Spider-Man good. That's the impression I get anyway.
Well his second name is Webb!
The trailers make it like Dr. Connors is just another power hungry mad scientist- and he might be, overall- but, that video kind of gives me hope that he's a lot more sympathetic character.
[QUOTE=cricket50;35926017]Well his second name is Webb![/QUOTE] But Ang Lee directed Hulk and that didn't make it good! Don't make me Ang Lee. You won't like me when I'm Ang Lee
A few things I noticed... 1. There's that Twitter feed (I think it's "Scale Seeker" or something like that). The whole thing set up a viral marketing campaign that led to Dr. Connors' tattered lab coat next to a manhole in a swampy park. The picture on the feed looks like it's a young kid (maybe 12 or 13). I'm thinking this might be Dr. Connors' son, trying to track down and "save" his wayward father. 2. Is it just me, or are the transformations in the trailers spastic as hell? We see him with one arm and no Lizard attributes, then we see him with two arms and a fucking tail, then we see him with two arms and very few Lizard traits... but they've said that it's a gradual change throughout the movie... soooo... yeah... this'll be.... interesting....

I imagine it would start with him having one arm, then two arms after he injects himself with the formula and then further on two arms and a tail.

I've not seen shit of Curts family in any trailer or interview or casting thing. What's going on there. I hope they don't leave that out. Curts struggle to be a father empathises with Peters struggle to find his. Plus when Curt realises how he hurts his family he becomes more of a hero than a villain. Spider-Man defeating The Lizard without killing him makes it a great battle for an origin story. They better not have left that out to kill The Lizard at the end. It pisses me off when they kill villains in comic films. The villains make comic book stories, they're the focus. The Sinister 6 spring to mind too. A movie with the Sinister 6 is the closest Sony will get to the marketing giant that is The Avengers. If you keep killing them it gets shit eventually. The only thing Spider-Man 3 did right was leave Sandman open for a return. I thought today that I'd like the sequel to kick off with Spidey stopping a minor villain. Like how Dark Knight kicks off with Batman stopping Scarecrow in a hiest unrelated to the majority of the film. In Ramis movies Spider-man only ever really stopped the villain of the film. If Spidey 2 had a brief Shocker battle or somebody cool yet not cool enough for a solo movie, it'd be fine by me.

In the inevitable second film, they could follow up on this story by adding Kraven the Hunter (By extension, this could lead to possible introductions to Chameleon or other 'criminal bosses' like Kingpin or Silvermane and Hammerhead). Kraven would be attracted by the destruction caused in this first movie and presents himself as the best solution to capturing Spider-Man and The Lizard for the police, dividing the city between supporting Spidey or supporting Kraven. George Stacy and the police, reluctantly, support Kraven; the average joes and the youth, on the other hand, still look to Spidey as their hero. Naturally, as Spider-Man continues to best Kraven, Kraven becomes more and more desperate to capture/kill Spidey- and restore his damaged ego- to the extent that he begins to endanger civilians (in traps set for Spidey) and eventually- when police see both Kraven as a menace and he goes on the run- hunts down Dr. Connors and forces him to make a serum (maybe by taking Dr. Connor's son captive) to match Spidey's strength, agility, etc. This would lead to the finale where Kraven and Spidey fight on relatively equal terms. Maybe even Dr. Connors in his Lizard form comes to aid Spider-Man where they both work to defeat Kraven. In the end, Dr. Connors can either be killed in the ensuing finale- redeeming himself and seeing his son one last time- or goes back into seclusion and coming to terms with his mutation; Spider-Man's back on top as the authorities see Kraven for who he really is and what Spidey has done thus far; and we get possible hints to possible villains in a third movie. Granted it's rough plot, but it [i]could[/i] work on some levels, I think. Of course, I do not know about the direction they're going with this film or any planned sequels...
