Spider-Man Has Back Problems

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the suck-it-up-and-take-a-hy-dro-co dept.

skantman writes "Potentially sad news for Spiderfans. Tobey Maguire has back problems and may have to pull out of the Spider-Man sequel." Since the film was apparently slated to pay him 11M GBP, sucks to be him just as much as us if he doesn't play the part. CT Updated, thats 11M pounds, not USD.

    That is actually £11 million. Sucks for him if he's not up to it.

    From the article:

    Last month, Maguire's agents renegotiated a record £11 million deal for the sequel.
    That's not $11 million dollars. It's considerably more. Come on guys, wake up when you're posting this stuff!

  3. Not dollars... pounds by FurryFeet · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Check the article. That's 11M POUNDS. Around 17-18M dollars.
    So, I guess it sucks about 50% more to be him...

    Thats 17M USD for 11M Pounds

    I was the first when I started my reply. Er.

    If they slapped a digitized face on a CGI character, why would they need the actor at all? Eventually they could just generate faces. And the actors union wouldn't be very happy about that.

    If only someone had thought to make up symbols that could be used. Perhaps something near the # key for dollars, and maybe some sort of mutant L thing for pounds?

    Nah, it'd never work.
