The Attack of Sandman! Visually Amazing!

["Iron Man"]

Flint Marko/Sandman is an amazing visual, and I've not very familiar with him in the comics, but he will be amazing to see on screen indeed, as long as we don't get a repeat of The Mummy. I really have faith in Raimi and THC to bring the character to life and make us all hapy, since he is the main villain. (a very unlikely choice that suprised us all) Hopefully we get a Sandman clip at Comic-Con (like with Doc Ock in 2003 Comic Con) so we can atleast get a little glimpse of him in action...that'd be awesome!

I think beating up Sandman in the game of SM3 is going to be hella' fun!

 

["Iron Man"]

Just thinking about it, one thing I can't WAIT to see is Flint using his famous "sand hand hammer" in action against Spidey.

I think the Sandman vs. Regular Spidey battle in the first part of the movie will be good, but Symbiote Spidey vs. Sandman will KICK BALLS!

I hope there's some kind of cheat where you could play as Sandman.

 

["Iron Man"]

^ YESSS!

Can you imagine the possibilities?

Oh man, I just thought of something! What iof there's an actual level or Bonus Level, where you can play as Sandman and fight Venom! That'd be awesome!

 

[TheFlyinRussian]

I wish they would make some kind of arena where you could fight one on one and you'd be able to choose between every character that's been in the movie games so far.

 

[bstringer]

if your wondering what to expect, please see The Mummy..

 

[Clobberin' Time]

We probably won't get Venom until the end, and maybe just for 10 minutes.

He'll be introduced as a cliff hanger, I reckon.

I want to see a scene like this

 

[Clobberin' Time]

Great picture

I too am really looking forward to Sandman. I remember reading this one particular comic when I was a kid where Spider-man was fighting with Sandman and Sandman just kicked the crap out of him. To me he came off as a very powerful character!

 

[Arcturus]

With a villain such as a Sandman, it's a given that incredible visuals are needed. I can't wait to see what the come up with for SM-3.

 

[Amm-arD]

btw, how in the 616 universe did Spidey beat Sandman..he hasnt turned up in USM just yet!

 

[Angel Of Dark]

there was a cut scene where the Beetle stole a vile named "sandman"
he's due to show up.....

i mean in the comics lol

 

[Angel Of Dark]

i mean in the comics lol

yeah, I know what you meant, USM game was a continuezation (spell check), or a side story of the USM comics, I'm just saying that since they went out of their way to hint at him in the game, he's bound to show up in the comics

 

[mmx915]

YES!

be able to play as everyone in the game! thatd be so awesome!

-Spidey
-GG
-Doc Ock
-Black Spidey
-GG2/Hobgoblin
-Sandman
-Venom
-and the mysterious 4th dude

heck, they will probably all kik butt on screen.

While we're on the subject, here's a new interview with THC:

The 45-year-old plays the villain Sandman and found it a shocking change after having to gain weight for his role in Sideways.

He explains, "When I met with the (Spider-Man 3) producers and director last year they said, 'We probably need you to get in a specific physical shape for the movie. Do you mind taking off your shirt?'

"I took off my shirt and the director, Sam Raimi, said, 'We're going to need you to gain about 100 pounds of muscle. You've come here today with the physique of a fishwife and that doesn't fit into our scheme...'

I know it makes sense for him to be able to recover his sand particles, but obviously he has the ability to absorb it too, so any mass he leaves behind he can pick up somewhere else.
Why else would they need actual sand on set? It would be easier to just cgi a spray effect, or a lump of sand on the ground merging with him.
I still think you'll see a lot of sand left in the aftermath of his fight scenes.

 

[matthooper]

The visuals will no doubt be amazing. The fact that he can manipulate sand into weapons, change shape, become huge, he will be the most visually stunning villian to date.

The thing I'm most excited about is the fact that Sandman, is a true criminal. He was a criminal before the accident and becomes a super criminal. Both GG and Ock were both turned into criminals because of accidents. They were tragic villians. Imagine what an already bad guy is going to do with new superpowers.

The first battle of Spidey facing Sandman, you know that Spidey is gonna get his butt whooped up on. But when Spidey gets the symbiote, Sandman is gonna be having some trouble.

Yeah, the SM3 game is gonna look amazing. Especially on the PS3. I can't wait.

Spidey is gonna be hurting when hes fighting Sandman. All that sand repeatedly hitting him. Ouch! And the weapons that Sandman will make too. Sandman is an amazing villain!

 

[CrypticOne]

I want to see a scene like this

This pic is amazing. One of the any reasons why Sandman is amazing, and you can just see that Spidey is gonna have problems with this guy.

Amazing Picture.

Dunno if anyone remembers Clayfaces first appearence on Batman:TAS, but he did an uber cool maneuver when he got slammed into a wall, and rather than turning around, he has his face simply grow from the back of his head and reverses the articulation of his limbs.
Sandman could pull that easy.

But wouldn't his shirt and pants be on backwards???

 

[Spiderluke]

In the first Sandman appearance in the comics, Spider-man defeated him with a vacum cleaner. Hope we don't see that in the movie.

It wasn't a regular houshold vacuum. It was a powerful one. But remember it was 1963, that was probably pretty cool back then. But, I think Raimi and the gang will come up with something astounding.
