Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Some of you will not want to know this. It could be something small, but all signs point to this being a huge twist on the entire SPIDER-MAN movie franchise, one radically different from the comics. So, if you want to keep the surprise, for the love of all the movie gods don't read below. I wish I could go into theaters next summer not knowing this...
A few days ago WireImage released many pics from some more New York Street Shooting. We've gotten a ton, right? No big deal? Well... this shooting took place at the New York Public Library. Remember this is where Uncle Ben drops Peter Parker off before getting himself shot and "the classic" stolen by that no good petty thief.
Well, not only did they bring in Cliff Robertson to film a cameo as Uncle Ben, but they also brought in Michael Poppajohn, who played the no good petty thief. Here's where it gets interesting and spoilery.
Also on hand was Thomas Hayden Church. And the photos suggest he had no small hand in Uncle Ben's death.
A part of me really, really hopes this is some sort of fucked up dream sequence... maybe the symbiote fucking with Parker's mind. It's not that I dislike Flint Marko being involved in Uncle Ben's death... While the comic book geek in me doesn't scream for joy, I could buy it. Sandman was once just a petty thief his ownself, afterall. What I really don't like is that if this is the real deal and not some red herring, then I now know one huge massive "Oh shit!" moment in one of my most anticipated films currently shooting. What are your thoughts? (PS thanks to "CM" and "MT", plus the good folks at BlackFilm).
