technically Sam said he would be "Somewhere in between Green Goblin and Hobgoblin, not the green goblin" WHich leave open alot of loopholes to tease fanboys and reclaim the love when the movie is out, or next trailer or something. Meh, i dunno, guess we will have to wait and see.

same here, harry is just out for revenge hes living with the pain of his fathers death and he cant get over it until he kills spiderman.

While promoting "Flyboys", his new World War I film about the Lafayette Escadrille, actor James Franco told iF Magazine about the upcoming "Spider-Man 3" re-shoots that were rumoured.

Seems all the talk about secret test screenings and re-shoots are a load of bollocks -"That's actually much ado about nothing about some test screenings that never took place, and the fact that there wasn't a lot of action -- that was all boloney".

How'd it happen? "I think I was asked what I was going to be re-shooting and I said 'some action scenes' scenes that were already in it. I actually haven't gotten back to it yet".

"I think that I was asked, 'What are you going to be re-shooting?' and I think I said, 'Some actions.' It was just scenes that were already in it that we were only filling out a bit."

Tangled Web: 'Spider-Man 3' Re-Shoots Planned, James Franco Reveals


Director Sam Raimi has put out call for 'more action,' actor says.


LOS ANGELES — There are certain things that every good geek knows to be true, like the fact that Spider-Man's secret identity is Peter Parker, or or that the "Spider-Man" movies have pulled in more dough than an army of overworked pizza makers, or that "Spider-Man 3" recently completed theaters next summer.

Uh ... strike that last one.

"The next thing I'm shooting?" series star James Franco said over the weekend. "Re-shoots on 'Spider-Man.' "

Revealing that director Sam Raimi has put out the call for "more action," Franco said he's being called back to the set of the blockbuster. "Probably next month," he added.

Members of the flick's cast, including Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, along with franchise newcomers Thomas Haden Church (as beach-bashing baddie the Sandman), Topher Grace (as alien threat Venom) and Bryce Dallas Howard (as Parker paramour Gwen Stacy), recently arrived triumphant at San Diego's Comic-Con to screen footage for fans (see " 'Spider-Man 3' Cast Confirms Love Triangle, Death, Soul-Sucking Costume"). Franco said he regretted being unable to make the trip along with his co-stars, and seemed shocked by much of what was revealed there.

Despite the widely downloaded teaser trailer that shows a black-and-green-suited Franco riding a glider (see it for yourself right here), and Raimi's own admission that Franco's Harry Osbourn will be "somewhere between" the comic book characters of Green Goblin and Hobgoblin, the tight-lipped actor refused to admit that Harry's long-simmering angst turns him into a villain. "You saw me in a suit?" Franco asked, feigning incredulity. "I don't think that was me."

Franco also seemed surprised by Raimi's assertions that Harry's story line will conclude with the third film (the actor's contract expires after "Spider-Man 3"). "It's really news to me. It's actually breaking my heart to hear that my character is being rounded up in this movie," the 28-year-old Franco said, half-kidding. "God, I think I'm going to cry."

Insisting that Church and Grace "bring amazing acting and great talent" to the third installment of the franchise, Franco insisted that he's eager to see the finished product. "The journey is much different than the final product. So when we actually see the movies, it's so much different than how it felt making it. I'm sure I'll be very happy."

Revealing that he expects a new trailer to be on the way soon, Franco said the new flick will offer fans plenty of action, as well as an opportunity to see the young thespians stretch out their acting muscles. "It's not that there's less acting in [a 'Spider-Man'] movie. I mean, it has the same number of acting scenes as any other movie," Franco said. "It's just that the action takes so much longer, so it feels like it's all action. Really, in a way, it's two months worth of regular scenes, which is what a typical movie has, and then we had to do four months of action."

Now, like a superhero's tights after an all-you-can-eat buffet, it seems that Sam Raimi is going to stretch those four months into just a little more.

This is good news for me. James Franco is my favorite character in the Spidey movies. I like it that he will be getting more action. Hopefully some fights with Venom and Sandman.

I would hate to see the look on this guy's face if we got an X-Men: The Last Stand like sequel.
