There’s a German TV commercial that’s currently airing that has a few new shots of Venom in them. All in all, very cool looking. The quality of the version I have isn’t great, so not many screen caps to be had. As you can probably tell from the site, I can’t wait to see this film.

Spider-Man 3 Premiers in Tokyo
You’ll have to be careful now that Spider-Man 3 has premiered in Tokyo, Japan.
TOKYO (Reuters) – Even superheroes get the blues, as “Spider-Man” discovers in this latest sequel during which he confronts a mutant made of sand, a vengeful former friend and, ultimately, himself.
“Spider-Man 3” is packed with stunning special effects such as the crumbling, morphing Sandman and an evil black suit with a life of its own that brings out a person’s dark side, but the characters also show a complexity rarely seen in action movies.
One screening equals lots of spoilers floating around the ‘net. For me, having the story spoiled doesn’t detract from my enjoyment of the film. It’s watching the visuals come to life that makes the movie worthwhile. Having said that, I don’t want to know everything before going off the see the film for myself.
Yahoo! Movies Spider-Man 3 Exclusive Trailer
I guess this is the final, final trailer for Spider-Man 3 (May 4, 2007). Yahoo! Movies has an exclusive trailer and the only difference I see between this one and the Comcast Exclusive trailer is the above shot or Venom. The rest of the shots may be edited in a different order, but only one new image/sequence to see. Yahoo! also has the 7-minute preview that was previously only available on NBC.com for a 24-hour period. It’s definitely worth checking out.
Back to the Yahoo! preview, I’ve got to say Venom looks great. I wish he were a little bigger than Spider-Man (and I miss the white logo), but they’ve pulled off what I thought would be an almost impossible character to visualize. Throw in the Sandman, who is probably one of my all time favorite Spider-Man villains and this could easily be my favorite of the trilogy of Spider-Man films.
Spider-Man . . . Spider-Man
It’s time for some Spider-Man. Since Spider-Man 3 is just around the corner, I thought I would start adding Spider-Man related characters to the Who’s OHotMU site.
Take a look at the entry, it’s quite detailed. All of that is from the 2004 All New Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe – Spider-Man edition. I’ll add the info from the 2005 book in a day or two. Just reading makes a person crazy. Peter Parker has experienced a lot of death and loss in his lifetime. From the recent books, that may not be the end of it either.
Comcast Spider-Man 3 Trailer
Comcast has a Spider-Man 3 site that features the “final” trailer for the film being released on May 4th. Aside from several new shots, a few seconds on the origins of the black costume, and lots of good Spider-Man action, it features the first real good shots of Topher Grace as Eddie Brock (Venom).
It’s looks like Venom will play a large role in the film and could possible be the main villain (and not the Sandman). It’s interesting that Sony has not really released any info about Venom to the “public,” with the only appearances of the character appearing in an NBC.com exclusive clip and this Comcast clip. If it weren’t for the Venom toys that appeared in stores this past Saturday, his appearance would almost be a secret.
Every preview I’ve seen looks better and better and I have no doubts, but I wonder how the public is going to react. I’m glad they’ve used Venom as a villain. Sam Raimi was originally opposed, but the character was a great villain in the comics before he became over-exposed and watered-down. From the few snippets in the trailer, the character of Eddie Brock (Venom) has similar motivations and that should provide quite a few dramatic moments.
