Posted by Clint Morris on April 19, 2004
Moviehole caught up with the forever cheery Daniel Gillies for a chat about Spider-Man 2 in which he plays astronaut John Jameson - a couple of days back and he says in his words that the films looking beautiful.
Mate, you know I am [excited], but I made it like a year ago now. I guess I should be jumping out my skin, but thatll probably come on June 30, or July 1, when its released there in Australia, the reticent actor laughs when asked if his nerves are in tack. Ive had such a long time to think about it, and take it all in, that at the moment, Im quite calm. But I tell you what; the film looks beautiful, bloody beautiful. I did some ADR (Additional Dialogue Recording) for a couple of scenes on it yesterday, and it looks fantastic.
Gillies said he saw Bruce Campbells scene, among others, this week.
The actor told of a stipulation in his contract when he signed on to play John Jameson. Yep, I had to agree to come back for the third one. No big secret that theres going to be a third one, it was recently announced publicly, and yep, Im back. And after all, movies seem to be all about trilogies these days dont they?
And Gillies touched on his next movie, Bride and Prejudice, with Martin Henderson. Yep, just did a film with Marty. It was awesome. We did it in England, and then India. Its kind of like a play and I play a really interesting character, but to tell you much more would be ruining the story. Marty plays this debonair American character, and Im an English guy. It was such an interesting character to play so much more than the weird movie I did before it. It wad called Trespassing and I played this psycho kid from Alabama. It was a weird film, he laughs.
The full interview with Gillies will be up in the coming months.
