Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy is arguably the most significant for the web-slinger in live-action adaptations. It enjoyed considerable success, with each film grossing over $800 million worldwide. Raimi had ambitious plans for sequels, but ‘Spider-Man 3’ marked the end for both him and Tobey Maguire, who portrayed Spider-Man impeccably.
Unfortunately, ‘Spider-Man 3’ was widely considered the weakest of the franchise, a fact that Raimi regrets not being able to rectify. Despite the series concluding nearly two decades ago, it remains a topic of discussion, leading to the discovery of new insights into its production.
Dylan Baker is well-known for his role as Dr. Curt Connors, Peter Parker’s college professor, who played a crucial supporting role in ‘Spider-Man 3.’ In the film, Peter discovers the origin and nature of the symbiote. Back in 2007, director Sam Raimi showed interest in exploring Dr. Curt Connors’ transformation into the villainous character teased since ‘Spider-Man 2’ – The Lizard.

Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy is likely the most important for the web-slinger when it comes to live-action portrayals. It was a major success as each installment managed to gross over $800 million worldwide. It’s no secret that Raimi had plans for sequels, and many of them at that, but ‘Spider-Man 3′ marked the end for both Raimi and Maguire who embodied the role of Spider-Man so perfectly.
‘Spider-Man 3’ was by far the most weakest of the franchise, and Raimi is regretful he never managed to redeem this. The series is still talked about to this day which is why we’re learning some new tidbits about it close to 2 decades after the franchise concluded.
Dylan Baker famously played Dr. Curt Connors Peter Parker’s college professor, and he played a vital supporting role in ‘Spider-Man 3’ in which Peter figured out the origin and the nature of the symbiote.

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard have released their 25th (!) studio album, The Silver Cord. Stream it below.
As always with King Gizzard albums, The Silver Cord serves as a platform for the band to explore a variety of musical ideas, this time focusing on: electronic, synth-led arrangements and breaking down the structural notion of a song. The album artwork depicts the Australian group surrounded by a plethora of synths and electronic devices, setting the tone for their computerized compositions, while the two different editions of the album — one standard and one “extended” — cues listeners in as to what to expect.
The standard edition of the album features songs that are, well, more along the lines of what a “standard” pop song would be, with recognizable structures and choruses, and landing somewhere around the 3-minute mark. The “extended” edition, however, presents tracks that range from 10 to 20 minutes, and, as explained in the press release,...

Spider-Man isn’t exactly the first character that comes to mind when one thinks of comic-book horror, but the iconic wall-crawler has actually dealt with his fair share of terror since his debut back in 1962. From his tragic part in the Marvel Zombies crossover to being forced to battle against monstrous villains like Carnage and The Lizard, there’s no shortage of horror-inspired stories starring our favorite web-head.
That’s why it makes sense that one of the most famous Spider-Man yarns centers around an extraterrestrial parasite that feeds off of aggression, with the aptly named “Alien Costume Saga” touching on elements of body horror and introducing a new monstrous antagonist in the form of Venom (who would later be rebranded as an anti-hero due to the character’s overwhelming popularity). 35 years later, this story is still influencing Spider-Man adaptations, with the most recent example being Insomniac’s upcoming Spider-Man 2,...

Earlier this month, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard announced a new album called PetroDragonic Apocalypse; or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation. Now, they’ve shared more details about the project, due out June 16th, and revealed its first single, “Gila Monster.”
To give you an idea of its meandering quality, PetroDragonic Apocalypse is a seven-track double album. Thematically, it’s about “humankind and it’s about planet Earth but it’s also about witches and dragons and shit,” as King Gizzard leader Stu Mackenzie puts it, while sonically, it recalls the thrash metal of 2019 fan favorite Infest The Rats’ Nest.
“When we made Rats’ Nest, it felt experimental,” Mackenzie said. “Like, ‘Here’s this music that some of us grew up on but we’d never had the guts or confidence to really play before, so let’s give...

Spider-Man: No Way Home was a huge triumph for the franchise; however, the Tom Holland feature would’ve been better served as a mini-series overall. The latest Spider-Man film combined the old and new generations of the live-action series that saw the big returns of Alfred Molina‘s Doc Ock, Willem Dafoe‘s Green Goblin, and Tobey McGuire and Andrew Garfield as the first and second incarnations of Spider-Man. However, with such a crowded roster, that meant some characters were short-changed. The crowded roster vastly affected the re-introduction of Charlie Cox‘s Daredevil, Sandman, and The Lizard. Spider-Man: No Way Home has plenty of

The Lizard may be the worst Spider-Man movie villain according to our survey, but that didn't stop "Spider-Man: No Way Home" from bringing him back — along with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as previous Peter Parkers. And it won't stop Hot Toys from releasing figures of all three of them in 2023.
The third and fourth quarters of 2023 will first bring two 1/6th scale figures from Garfield's "Amazing Spider-Man" film duology (via The Toy Ark).

Right now it appears that Potfest might have been just a tease that came before the credits to Beerfest started rolling, which would sound almost cruel since the Broken Lizard crew have been making fun and simple movies for a while now, and a lot of fans were hoping to see another one roll out eventually. But considering how long it took to see a second Super Troopers movie it’s possible that they might have already decided that a Potfest movie was left as just a hopeful idea that might have come along had they been able to do so

It feels like a lifetime ago since Sam Raimi has directed something big. What was his career like after he ended his time with the Spider-Man trilogy? All I remember watching from him after the post-Spider-Man years was Drag Me to Hell back in 2009. Four years later, he helmed the fantasy movie, Oz the Great and Powerful, which I never watched. By the way, does anyone remember when Blizzard Entertainment announced that Sam Raimi was going to direct the Warcraft movie? We all know that never happened and that’s probably a good thing.

Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latest installment in the Marvel pantheon, has hit theaters, complete with an ending that is sure to reverberate across the MCU—if not because Doctor Strange has left cracks in the multiverse than in the space it will leave in the Avengers where Peter Parker once stood. The movie crams a lot into its two-and-a-half-hour runtime, giving rewarding endings to not one but three Peter Parkers. How does it do it? And what does No Way Home’s ending mean for the future of Spider-Man and the MCU? We break it all down below…

No one say "Shenanigans." The Broken Lizard gang is back, and this time they're losing the moustaches and putting on tights and berets for a comedy adaptation of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." If anyone can make Victor Hugo's wildly depressing tale about a hunchback who lives in the bell tower of the Notre Dame cathedral into something funny, it would have to be the gang behind "Super Troopers" and "Beerfest."
Searchlight Pictures announced that Broken Lizard have started production on the project, titled "Quasi," and that it will stream exclusively on Disney's direct-to-consumer platforms like Hulu, Star+, and Disney+.

Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe behind the film franchise “Super Troopers,” is teeing up a new movie with Searchlight Pictures.
“Quasi,” a satirical take on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, just kicked off production in Los Angeles. The film will follow a hapless hunchback who yearns for love, but finds himself in the middle of a murderous feud between the Pope and the king of France when each orders the hunchback to kill the other.
Kevin Heffernan will direct and star. He wrote the script with his troupe members Steve Lemme, Jay Chandrasekhar, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske — who will all costar and serve as executive producers. Richard Perello will produce. Adrianne Palicki is also set to star. The film will debut exclusively on Hulu in the U.S., and on Disney Plus and Star Plus around the world.

The fact that Marvel Studios have to share the rights to the character with Sony means that Spider-Man isn’t afforded the same sort of creative leeway as the vast majority of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s other superheroes, but that doesn’t mean that Tom Holland’s take on the iconic web-slinger isn’t set to be positioned as one of the franchise’s figureheads throughout Phase Four and beyond.
We’ve already heard that Marvel are planning on making at least six more Spider-Man movies, and with each stage of the shared universe being meticulously planned out in advance by Kevin Feige and his team, you can guarantee that they know exactly where Peter Parker is headed despite the upcoming third installment still being shrouded in mystery.

Spider-Man: Far From Home may mark the eleventh time that the iconic comic book character has appeared on the big screen, but it was Sam Raimi’s groundbreaking original trilogy that rescued the wall-crawler from decades stuck in development hell back in the early 2000’s. Despite bearing all of the fingerprints of heavy-handed studio interference, Spider-Man 3 isn’t quite the cinematic abomination that some corners of the internet claim, and (for now) it remains the highest-grossing Spider-Man solo movie to date.
Raimi had spent years developing a fourth installment in the franchise, with the script going through multiple drafts by numerous writers before the project was officially canceled by Sony in January 2010 after Raimi dropped out, refusing to compromise the creative process in order to meet the studio-mandated May 2011 release date.
The franchise was then quickly rebooted into the Andrew Garfield-led Amazing Spider-Man before the character was repurposed...
