'Spider-Man 3': Getting frank with James Franco

Tags:

16059__franco_lTalking to MTV News about 2007′s Spider-Man 3, James Franco (left) responds to the question everyone’s asking (that is, isn’t it about time your character Harry Osborn started picking up dad’s pumpkin bombs and going all Green Goblin on Spidey’s ass?). His answer, paraphrased: I’m not allowed to talk about it, but duh! Read more here.

Meanwhile, Sam Raimi plans, after he finishes directing Spider-Man 3, to shoot The Wee Free Men, an adaptation of a children’s book about a nine-year-old girl who saves her brother from a wicked fairy queen with the help of some tiny, blue-skinned, kilted, hard-drinking Scottish warriors. (Imagine Braveheart, if Mel Gibson and his pals were just six inches tall.) Now, I don’t care how many family-friendly comic-book movies Sam Raimi makes, if I were a studio chief, I wouldn’t give a children’s fantasy to the guy who directed the Evil Dead trilogy. That’s just wrong.

    I concur. Sam, the Spider Man movies have been awesome,but it’s time you went back to making horror flicks. Come On! Raimi with a budget, Bruce Campbell and demons have not graced the silver screen in for ever!

    I really hope they do a great job on The Wee Free Men. Terry Pratchett is a comedic genius, and he definitely deserves to be presented to a wider audience. A high-budget series like “Rome” would be nice, considering the backlog of interlinking stories Pratchett has to call on.

    Crivens! I couldn’t be more excited.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t “Wee Free” sound a lot like “Labrynth”, aside from the mini-Scots (which sound like the michevous fairies from “Willow”–remember? “I stole your baby while you were taking a pee-pee!”

    I disagree. With his genius for combining great effects with creating such deep-feeling, intimacy acting, Sam Raimi should be making ¡Right this Minute! the dark movie versions of the fifth and sixth dark installments by J.K. Rowling of Harry Potter. Maybe then Raimi would demand that Michael Gambon be replaced by someone (I don’t know, James Cromwell, even Sean Connery) who really can understand and embody the wisdom and depth of Dumbledore. ¡Imagine what Sam Raimi would do with that budget! signed: a Harry Potter fan (obviously).

  • Ep Sato

    I’d give Raimi the reigns of Harry Potter, but the cat who made Prisoner of Kazakstan (joke) should get to finish of the series as his movie was the shizzle dizzle.
    A big thanks to Marvel Comics for making this previously obscure cult fave director into someone who’ll get much deserved budgets to match his creativity.
    Can’t wait to see his next project, whatever it is, but would love to see Bruce Campbell in the lead again…
