These reboots are getting stupid.

There should be a law against rebooting so recent a movie franchise.

Christoph Waltz Considered For the Lizard in Spider-Man Reboot?



QUOTE
With Andrew Garfield set to lead Sony's Spider-Man reboot, director Marc Webb has moved on to casting supporting characters. And according to Production Weekly via The Playlist, the studio is now considering the Inglorious Bastards star Christoph Waltz, for the villainous role of Curtis Connors, The Lizard.

The source says specifically, "Earlier this week we heard that Sony is interested in "Inglourious Basterds" star Christoph Waltz for the villain character in Marc Webb's 3D reboot of "Spider-Man." The same piece of information is now in this week's pages of Production Weekly: Sony interested in Waltz (presumably this is the Lizard if the rumors are correct).

If true, the 53 year old Austrian would sure bring much-needed star power to the reboot, recently winning an Oscar for best actor in a supporting role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. And recently wrapping up on Michel Gondry's Green Hornet unsurprisingly as the film's villain, being in a superhero flick such as this wouldn't be anything too diverse from the actor's resume.

And as for the villain for Spidey's return, it's a pretty much guaranteed that Dr. Curtis Connors would be the usual medical doctor and researcher, but unlike Sam Raimi's trilogy, we may actually get to see when Connors' cure turns out to be worse than his disease; The Lizard.

Anyhow, Marc Webb will be directing the reboot, with filming expected to begin late this year. And the webslinger swings into theaters July 3, 2012 in the infamous 3D!

Christoph Waltz Will NOT Play The Lizard In Spider-Man Reboot!

QUOTE
According to SuperHeroHype, the Green Hornet star is most definitely not in the running for a role in Marc Webb's Spider-Man 2012 reboot...
Last week, an inside source told The Playlist that the Green Hornet and Inglourious Basterds star Christoph Waltz was up for the villainous role of Curt Connors, aka The Lizard. Well, SuperHeroHype claim to have spoken directly to a source inside Sony who has debunked the rumour!
"SuperHeroHype has spoken directly to sources inside the production and there is definitively no truth to this rumor... a blogger's wishful thinking perhaps? Our sources say that when the role is cast, there will be a great actor involved."

Candidates For Love Interest in Spider-Man Reboot Revealed

QUOTE
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Marc Webb has narrowed down actresses to portray the potential lover interest in Spider-Man reboot.





Ophelia Lovibond, a British up-and-comer who appeared in “Nowhere Boy” and “4.3.2.1” and recently wrapped William Monahan’s “London Boulevard”;

Lilly Collins, repped by CAA and ROAR, who appeared in “The Blind Side” last year and will be seen in “Priest.”

Teresa Palmer - Teresa Palmer, who is currently shooting “I Am Number Four” and was the romantic lead in this summer’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The actress, repped by WME and Management 360, read with Garfield last weekend.

Emma Roberts - has twice flown from the set of “Scream 4” for readings. (Sweeney Management-repped Roberts co-starred with Lovibond in “4.3.2.1.”)

Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the love interest in “Scott Pilgrim vs the World,” was in the arachnid web but sources say she has now fallen out.


THR goes on to say starting today and heading into the weekend, select actresses are meeting with Webb and new Spidey actor Andrew Garfield. And unlike Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the main love interest WON'T be Mary Jane, and could be Gwen Stacy, Parker’s other love interest in the comics, or possibly a new character.

And Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who portrays the love interest in Edgar Wright's recent Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, was also in the mix, but reportedly has fallen out. And although it was rumored that the film's setting would be in Peter Parker's College years, according THR; the story is more grounded in the high school.

Anyhow, production is expected to begin in December with Andrew Garfield as the lead, and Spider-Man swings back into theaters July 3, 2012 in 3D

Andrew Garfield Speaks On His 'Spider-Man' Future!

QUOTE
Sony officially announced British actor Andrew Garfield as the new face of Peter Parker for the Marc Webb-director reboot, back in July. And now speaking with Jay A. Fernandez of THR | Risky Business on his experience at the Telluride Film Festival, Fernandez gets a few answers from Garfield, on his future as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, approaching the role, and prep work.


Have you been prepping for Spider-Man?
"I have been waiting for this phone call for 24 years, for someone to call me up and say, "Hey, we want you to pretend to be a character that you’ve always wanted to be all your life, and we’re going to do it with cool cameras and cool effects and you’re going to feel like you’re swinging through New York City. Do you want to do that?" [laughs] “Let me just consult with my seven-year old self and see what he thinks...” So my seven-year-old self started screaming in my soul and saying, This is what we’ve been waiting for. Like every young boy who feels stronger on the inside than they look on the outside, any skinny boy basically who wishes their muscles matched their sense of injustice, God, it’s just the stuff that dreams are made of, for sure. It’s a true [frick]ing honor to be part of this symbol that I actually think is a very important symbol and it’s meant a great deal to me, and it continues to mean something to people. So yeah, I feel like I’ve been preparing for it for a while. Ever since Halloween when I was four years old and I wore my first Spider-Man costume."

What's your approach to wrapping your brain around the coming shift in terms of your increased visibility with Spider-Man?
"Not to give it credence, not to give it any of my energy. Just approach it like any other job that I care about deeply. That may be naïve of me to think that I can just get away with that. But if you give focus to something, it will grow. I just want to be an actor, really. And of course all those things came into consideration when I was making the decision. But at the end of the day, I had faith that I would be able to not be defined by it. And I still have faith that I will be able to get lost in roles and just keep doing what I love to do."

Have you gotten any advice about how to balance it?
"I’ve witnessed other friends go through it, so I’m aware of the pitfalls, for sure. So I already feel as prepared as I can be, and also no advice can really prepare you for something so visceral."

Is there any other prep work you’ll need to do? Will you need to change your physicality or do training?
"I’m sure there will be a bunch of that, yeah. Flexibility is my main focus right now. Making sure that I can be as flexible as possible. It’s all kind of starting up so I haven’t really got much to say about it."

You start shooting in December, but are you planning anything else after or in the meantime?
Yeah, sure. There’s a film that I really like that I shouldn’t really talk about. I really want to do a play afterwards. I was already thinking, "How am I going to offset this experience and create equilibrium within my system after this incredibly big thing?"
