The Amazing Spider-Man Dennis Leary in negotiations for George Stacy

[jasontodd]

Stacy never had a mustache so no it's fine

 

[Venom'sDad]

Pics looks intense, like some major Heavy-Hitter stuff is going down.

 

[Majik1387]

He's on Chelsea Lately right now, don't know if he'll talk Spider-Man though

 

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

MTV posted this little interview with Leary talked a little about the ending of the film..unintentionally... After those funeral set pics came out in Dec.

Spoiler

"I'm not allowed to say anything about the ending of 'Spider-Man' — or the ending of 'Rescue Me,' " he told us at the opening festivities for the Tribeca Film festival. "It's verboten! I can't tell you!"

The first I ever heard of Denis Leary was on an episode of Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

As I said in another thread, I think it's obvious what happens at the end, lol.

LOL! That's funny!

Which kinda bugs me. I wish many of these films would actually allow proper space for stuff to unfold. I think [blackout]having Capt. Stacey die in the first film is rushing it. We want to care about him and have it make a lasting impression(even moreso when Gwen dies). It'll be harder to make Stacey's death have a lasting impression in this film than it would be if he made it through ASM and then bit it in a sequel.[/blackout] It takes TIME to make that happen in such a way that it really wallops the audience emotionally.

E. G. : Darth Vader telling Luke that he was his father wouldn't have had near the impact if it had happened at the end of A New Hope.

I wish these studios(and ALL have been guilty of it to one degree or another) wouldn't blow their wad like an over-excited teenager after the prom but accept that they're in this for the long haul and give these special moments from the comic's stories the proper room to develop for maximum effect on the audience.

Ok, rant over.

 

[Venom'sDad]

^ I agree whole heartedly; but we live in an instant gratification society who desire to rush through everything....like grits and macaroni. So I'm sad to say, I have gotten use to stories & characters, that should provide proper maturation, but don't.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I think

Spoiler

Captain Stacy dieing in the first film isn't that bad of an idea if Gwen actually IS going to die in one of these 3 films.I think it opens up some possibilities for the future.

 

[Venom Melendez]

So let me get this straight--the lead from "Rescue Me" who plays a crazy, self-destructive firefighter, a guy who built his rep as a chain-smoking, foul-mouthed, sarcastic blue comic, may be playing the part of Gwen Stacy's dad?



Seriously, what the **** is with the casting on this movie?!

You forget that he also played a Cop in "The Job".

Ah Mike McNeal, good times.

I think its more about how us caring about how it affects Pete and his relationship with Gwen more than actually caring about him.

Fine, I don't disagree. But it takes time for it to believably have an effect on Pete as it would take time for him to get to know Capt. Stacey(both as Spider-man & Peter Parker). Personally, I'd say getting introduced to Gwen & her father in ASM1. Dad dies in ASM2, Gwen dies in ASM3. MJ takes over from there on out.

Denis talks ASM:

This Spider-Man is darker, but is there some humor in it as well?

LEARY: It’s a darker story, but there are some very funny things in it. Some of them were scripted, and some of them came out of the work.

George Stacy actually really hates Peter Parker in the comics, but what did you think of Andrew Garfield?

LEARY: I loved Andrew. I really did. I thought he was great.

What did you think of him as a superhero?

LEARY: He’s terrific in the role. He was trained as a gymnast, when he was growing up in England, which came in handy. Most of the stunts in the movie are done live, in front of the cameras. There’s a ton of stuff. He’s just a terrific actor. I really loved working with him. I thought he was great. Same thing with Emma [Stone]. They’re actually more mature than I am, so that says a lot. They’re really incredibly talented and really professional. She’s 22 years old. I don’t want to tell you what I was doing when I was 22 years old. I was very impressed by her.

Are you definitely set for Spider-Man 2 and 3?

LEARY: Yeah. I guess they officially announced it yesterday.

Does Captain Stacy have the walking stick, like he does in the comics?

LEARY: No. Not yet, anyway.

Did you read the old Stan Lee comics to get familiar with them?

LEARY: No, I didn’t. I’m more of a Batman guy. Not the ‘60s Batman, but the really dark Batman. My wife was a Spider-Man nut, which is why I went to the Tobey Maguire ones. I have a good friend, Jeff Garlin, who is a Spider-Man freak, and he was the first guy that said to me, “The first time I met you, I thought you were George Stacy,” and that was 30 years ago. He had an old comic book frame on his computer and he showed it to me, and I was like, “You’re sick!,” and he was like, “No, I’m a Spider-Man freak.” People take it very seriously.

Is your hair the same, or does it go grey like Captain Stacy’s?

LEARY: I don’t know if I’m allowed to say. Every time you say something about this ****ing movie, they go crazy.

Is it really that different from the Tobey Maguire films?

LEARY: Yeah. The tone is very different.

It f---ing better be.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Give it a rest KAW. The Raimi movies are over. They're done. No more. You can pretend they never happened. If it gives you peace, please do. It's obvious you have severe anger problems and have chosen to fixate on the Raimi films and everyone and everything involved with them. But you can let go now. It's ok. You never have to watch them again if you don't want to. But please calm down. They're just movies. It's not that big of deal.

 

[©KAW]

Never. They happened, my God they happened.

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Your life would be so much more peaceful if you just let that hatred go

 

[©KAW]

Yoda, is that you, please tell me what hate leads to?

 

[Thebumwhowalks]

it would not be the same around here if kaw did not rag on the Raimi movies every now and again.

 

[Venom'sDad]

So I guess no one caught that comment: Collider,"So you are definitely set for TAS 2 & 3? Dennis,"Yeah, I guess they officially announced it yesterday."

Which begs the question, Who's funeral are they attending, since it now appears not to be Captain Stacey's?

 

[Peter_Parker123]

it could be uncle ben's or gwen's brother ( philip stacy) or dr connors

Good question. I think it might be Uncle Ben, but in the trailer, you can see Gwen looking up towards the camera at the funeral. She could be looking at SPidey, which leads me to believe it may not be Uncle Ben.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

My money is still it being Captain Stacy's funeral. Between Gwen's expression and the police officers in attendance, standing behind her.

Actors are always signed on for sequels, regardless of their character's fate.

Uncle Ben and Norman Osborn died in the first Raimi film but both Cliff Robertson and Willem Dafoe re-appeared in both sequels, in flashbacks. Same probably goes for Martin Sheen, in case they want to use him in future films (for flashbacks).

 

[Billy the Poet]

So far, the only shots from the funeral scene we've seen had Gwen Stacy in them. It's as if the entire scene will focus on her. Thus, I still think it's doubtful Capt. Stacy will survive after this movie.
