Flint Marko...the Sandman. Nice! :thumb:

The only thing worrying me about this next movie is that the rumors have been that they hired Topher Grace to play VENOM????

Yikes....that's BAD casting!

Its no rumor:

CULVER CITY, CA May 19, 2005 – Topher Grace has joined the cast of Spider-ManŽ 3, it was announced by director Sam Raimi and producers Laura Ziskin and Marvel Studio's Avi Arad.

Grace will join Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Thomas Haden Church in the blockbuster franchise.

Spider-Man 3 is scheduled for release on May 4, 2007, and will reunite returning cast members with director Sam Raimi and producers Ziskin and Arad, the successful filmmaking team responsible for the first two films.

The Spider-Man film franchise has grossed more than $1.5 billion in worldwide ticket sales to date. Production on Spider-Man 3, which was written by Alvin Sargent, is scheduled to begin early next year.

"Spider-Man will face double the trouble in our next film and I couldn't be more excited about the direction we are taking Peter Parker and the franchise," said Raimi. "Topher Grace is an extraordinarily talented actor and will be perfect for the complexities of the role we are developing."

While speculation continues about which characters will be called into action, the studio will not comment on the new roles beyond confirming the casting of Grace and Church.

Spider-Man 3 is being overseen by Columbia's President of Production Matt Tolmach and Shannon Gaulding, Director of Development for the studio.

Grace, who has been a weekly fixture in homes across America in the hit comedy series That '70s Show for the last 7 years, is seamlessly transitioning from the small screen to the big screen. Testament to his success, he has recently been prized with Breakthrough Acting awards by both the National Board of Review and the New York Online Film Critics, for his starring roles in Paul Weitz's In Good Company and Dylan Kidd's P.S.

This winter, Grace starred opposite Dennis Quaid and Scarlett Johansson in In Good Company. And in P.S., which premiered at this fall's Toronto Film Festival, he starred as the romantic lead opposite Laura Linney in an off-beat romantic comedy adapted from the Helen Schulman novel by the same name.

Grace's major breakthrough on film came with his debut role in Steven Soderbergh's Oscar nominated movie Traffic, which he followed-up with a memorable cameo in the Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven. He also reprises his role, as himself, in the sequel Ocean's Twelve. Earlier this year he could be seen in Robert Luketic's romantic comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, alongside Kate Bosworth and Josh Duhamel. Before that, he was in last winter's Mona Lisa Smile, opposite Julia Roberts, Kirsten Dunst and Marcia Gay Harden.

He fell into acting in high school in which he starred in plays such as A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum. After high school, he moved out to Los Angeles for college and soon embarked on his acting career with a starring role on That '70s Show, remarkably sans prior industry experience. He currently resides in Los Angeles.

Seeing as Venom's alter-ego is an over six foot tall, bodybuilding blonde guy, I can see why they cast "Foreman" from "That 70's Show" as him.

:rolleyes:

They did a pretty remarkable job with bulking up Edward Norton for his role in "American History X" and I doubt that he was much (if any) bigger than Topher Grace beforehand.

While that is true Shakey, Norton's character in "American History X" wasn't as drastic a change from what he was originally. All he had to do was bulk up a little.

In the comics, Eddie Brock is 6'3" and 260 pounds. When he changes into Venom he's even BIGGER! It's next to impossible to make Topher look that big unless they use CGI. They had better, or else the fanboys will be SCREAMING.

Venom's forearm looks as big as Topher's entire BODY! :lol:

:lol: Yeah, if that is his size before he change, then they have their work cut out for them. Like you said, they will probably use CGI for the scenes after he changes. Don't really know Venow, I was more of a Batman and Ironman guy... ;) Well, there was the occasional issue of Donald Duck too... :D
