Post Raimi Plans for More Realistic 'Spider-Man 3'
http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story ... 61,00.html

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) -- Sam Raimi says he's not quite happy with the computer-generated swinging and jumping that his live-action Spider-Man does on the big screen. So, before he starts filming his third part of the superhero franchise, he's going to get it right.
"We're really trying to shoot for a level of reality that we haven't yet achieved yet with the 'Spider-Man' films," Raimi says to Zap2it.com in an interview on Thursday (Feb. 4) just before the release of "Boogeyman," which he produced. "It'll be subtle, and the audience probably won't even be aware of them, but to that character specifically, we're looking at how can we improve his style of movement, his density, the sense of weight, how can we take the next step."

He plans to start some test shooting "Spider-Man 3" in March, although not yet with the principle cast. He did the same thing with "Spider-Man 2," testing special effects for the big hospital scene and used a lot of the footage they shot during the test phase.



"I'm actually going to start shooting tests next month -- tests, experiments with costume and characters and movement and new CG types of technology that we're going to develop, combinations of existing technologies that are put together in new ways that make it seem new, but it already exists," says Raimi, who was on the backlot of Sony Pictures in Culver City, Calif. "Our stunt people are also going to be working also shooting tests, mechanical FX tests."

Although Sony Pictures won't let him give out specifics, he says screenwriter Alvin Sargent is busy on the screenplay for "Spider-Man 3" based on drafts done by Raimi and his brother. He has figured out who Spider-Man's next nemesis will be, but won't say -- nor will he even speculate about Internet gossip predicting it will be Venom. Meanwhile, he's just planning on getting the film done by May 2007.

"We're going to do big scenes earlier and probably even in the first thing that we shoot really early might be plate photography and maybe even as early as September," he says. "It could be as early as that."

realism eh? well i dont know why 2 things came to mind right away

a) He prolly notices the cg effects like we do .. both spiderman movies somehow made me feel they weren't so great
b) this came to my mind right away .... is he influenced by Begins?? Begins is mostly traditional stunt stuff.

Glad to hear that, hopefully he can do it right.

Also Venom shouldnt be the next main villain. They need at least two movies to play out the Venom arc well, and they still have loose ends from the previous two Spider-man movies to tie up. You don't have Harry Osbourne swear eternal vengeance, begin to unravel, start hearing his dead father's voice, and then have everything be all hunky dory in the morning. Next one should have Green Goblin & Lizard, only having Green Goblin would be too boring i'd say.

I'm glad, as the movement in terms of the weight and other things often seems unrealistic in the films.

Oh Good God.. No offense Sam, but SPIDERMAN is a fucking comicbook character... There wasn't 1 good goddamn thing wrong with the first 2 SPIDERMAN films.. There wasn't and I refuse to sit back and listen to all this nitpicking CGI crap.. Whatever.. If it's not broken Sam Raimi, don't fix it and be greatful your movies have made what they have.. :roll:

Lol. I thought the same thing. But otherwise it shows that Raimi seems to think of the unhappy fans which are not pleased with the CGI. And perhaps he is pissed of to read everywhere "A movie with 200 Mio Budget sholud have far more better CGI" \:D/

Well my advice to Raimi: Don't worry and don't listen to what the ungreatful, spoiled fucking rotten fans say about CGI.. Once again: If it isn't broken, don't fix it.. Fans will always be nitpicky over every little detail cause they have nothing better to do with their time than bitch about trivial shit like this.. :roll:
