Spider-Man 3 Villains: Sandman & Venom

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wondered-how-long-it-would-take-to-haul-out-venom dept.

datemenatalie writes "As posted on ComingSoon.net, "Kirsten Dunst confirmed rumors to Zap2it that Thomas Haden Church will play Sandman and Topher Grace is Venom in director Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3." As written, ""We have really great people though as the villains in this film, Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman," said Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Watson in the Spidey films. "Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that," she added before reversing her claim. "It's the other way around. You're right," she conceded to a journalist." Spider-Man 3 is set for release on May 4, 2007."

    How can we have a villain who looks like he just hit puberty?

    With Topher Grace as Venom, I'd expect Kurtwood Smith to show up and tell Venom to behave or he'll be wearing Red's foot up his ass.

    Batman and Robin was bad, true...

    But nothing compares to the sheer mind-boggling awfulness that was Showgirls.

    A movie so bad that naked boobs couldn't even save it!

    He was bitten by radioactive sand. Although since genetic engineering is the current boogeyman in Spiderman, I suspect in the movie he will be bitten by genetically engineered sand.

    Thomas Haden Church and Topher Grace -- Venom and Sandman," said Dunst, who plays Mary Jane Watson in the Spidey films. "Maybe I wasn't supposed to say that," she added before reversing her claim.

    If you read carefully, you will realize that what she really means is that she will be playing Sandman, Thomas Haden will be playing Venom, and Topher will be playing Mary Jane. I might just pay for this one as they will finally have a sexy Mary Jane. Dunst just never did it for me.

    "but Topher Grace as Venom?"

    Seriously, that's as lame as having a goofy nerd like Toby McGuire as Spider-... er, damn.

  12. Topher Grace? I think not by SengirV · · Score: 2, Funny
    Brock began an intense physical workout program hoping to reduce the stress his life had become. However, such physical exertions only increased his violent obsession with Spider-Man. Although his body had been honed to near-perfection, Brock's mind was reduced to an all-consuming vessel of hatred.

    Call me crazy, but that does not bring images of Topher Grace.

    How can Showgirls be bad? No movie with that many boobies and thong-clad women in it can truly be bad!

    Hating Showgirls is like hating electricity or modern sanitation!

    I used to think Toby McGuire and Elijah Wood were the same actor.

    You mean they're not?

    That's actually true...remember the movie "Heat" they starred in together? All done with mirrors, I swear.
