Hope Paul Rudd is a different character in this one, god was he awful in MIAMI.

I'd like to believe Seagal could let himself go and do whatever is asked in sending up his image. In reality I know the cast and crew will demand he be escorted from the set after he refuses to be beaten up in a fight scene by Dangle.

Seriously, I need a source for this. It makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever. One of the most successful, lucrative, beloved series of all time vs. a three hour exploitation flick with no stars, released Easter weekend.

This, oddly enough, would be nigh perfect casting.

[FilmNerdJamie]

SPIDER-MAN 3- Among the other juicy notes found in the summer preview issue of Entertainment Weekly is that, at one point, Ben Kingsley was in talks to play the Vulture in two films being shot back to back.

I believe the EW article also has Avi Arad saying they already have Spider-Man 4's baddie decided upon and it would be a "classic villain!" So we might be seeing Sir Ben's Vulture this time come 2010 after all...or maybe it's the Lizard...or possibly both!

[irridescent]

Ben Kingsley would be interesting.

I'm pretty excited about The Incredible Hulk since Edward Norton is in it.

[Chris Myers]

Great work fab, keep it comin'. (the news that is)

[Stormin]

I used to be one of the many, many members of the Ben Kingsley for The Vulture! camp, but when the rumor about Larry David popped up I realized how perfect that would have been. A character like the Vulture pretty much has to be played for laughs, and David could have made it incredibly funny.

I would pay to see this in the theatre if they can get both Ice Cube and Chris Tucker to return. Tucker was arguably the best part of the first one....and the other two stunk to high heaven without him.
