Ted Raimi
2007-03-27 09:19:09
Ted Raimi reprises his role as Hoffman in Spider-Man 3. See what Ted, brother of director Sam Raimi, has to say about bringing humor to Spider-Man.

ted
great job in the spidey flick. So do you and Sam work together a lot putting together a huge flick like spidey 3?

I have loved Ted Raimi ever since Joxer, he should get his own movie

Well Ted Raimi sure has a talent;I like his role as Hoffman and really enjoy the scenes he stars in.I expect a good Hoffman in Spiderman3.

Arañas Oscuras
Espero con ansia la llegada de SPIDER-MAN 3, el traje negro se ve excelente y Sadman, esta muy padre, y se corre el rumor de que Misterio, aparece ¿es verdad?, en cuanto a Venom espero no desilucionarme pues se dice, que no se apega mucho al comic.

IronYaldon sucks
Hey IronYaldon you know what, you suck. I hate people like you. You have to crap on the litle guy dontcha. So what, he's a supporting actor without these guys movies don't flow properly. Just like Ted said you need to break up the tension with light comic relief or it becomes way too serious. Plus who the hell do you think you are ? When was the last time you starred in a spider-man movie huh ? My god are you a schmuck.

This video is a waste of my time.
Joe shmow is expendable. it wouldn't have mattered if he were in the flick or not.I think the movie might have been better if he were not.

Cool.
I'm actually happy he's returning. He brings a bit of fun to the roles he plays (Xena, Hercules) I think the scenes with JJJ needed someone like Ted's character in it, someone to make Jameson appear more intimidating while at the same time, providing laughs in moments that may have been dull otherwise. Don't crap on the supporting actors, without them, the stars would be a lot less interesting and the movie, that much shorter.

if you dont like it, dont read it. that way you wont have to suffer from putting up with something you dont like, and the rest of us dont have to suffer through your whinging tripe.

hoffman
I think it's good to hear from the little guys too. we always can hear from all the big stars, but we never hear about other guys like this, and all the small time actors, and extras make the movie seem real, and like it's actually a universe, so don't pick on the small time guys. besides, you aren't big time either, so don't be hatin.

now, see i totally agree with the above response. anyone catch that article that was posted in wizard where they interviewed KUMAR about the role he played in superman returns? now that guy had a LOT to say about his characters role and his motivation and stuff and his character got about all of 2 seconds of dialog in the film. now i do hate articles and things like THAT but this guy is sam raimis bro and he actually has sum pretty funny moments in these spider-man films. im just sayin he has a right to even have a video here whereas people that definitely dont get the same treatment. @&%@&@% about those articles but not this one.

Director's Brothers Are The Best To Cast
I love that Ted is always in Sam's television series and films. He's one of the best comedic foils I've seen. (Not to be bested by Clint Howard ;) )

Spidey the 3rd
Spidey 3 looks great but its got a lot to live up with the last two moves being some of the best films of all time. And after the big let down of Ghost Rider we need a good super hero move.

spiderman 3's impending fiasco in Israel
Dear Ted, Sam and the kind people at Marvel.com

I really hope you can be of assistance. After reading the following can you please forward this mail to anyone at Marvel Studios, as high up as Avi Arad. Because the following is about Spiderman's release in Israel, which is a territory close to Mr. Arad's heart, he may find a personal interest in the matter.

I am a film critic for Israel's largest entertainment magazine. The Hebrew equivalent to Entertainment Weekly. (I have interviewed Mr Arad ahead of "The Hulk"'s release here).
A year ago two of Israel's largest distributors decided to ban movie critics from preview screenings. One of those distribs is A.D Matalon, rep for Sony and Fox locally, which will roll out Spiderman 3 in Israel on May 3rd.

Up to this point this ban on critics was annoying but was mostly a non-issue. But as Spiderman 3 is a movie I am looking forward to see, I want to let the people at Marvel know of this so the decision may be reversed.

Now, Israel is a tough territory as far as sci-fi and comic-book movies go. Over here the audience is more adult and the major and influential critics are younger former comics fan-boys (myself included). These are the movies that need critical support here. Ghost Rider went unnoticed here a month back.

The biggest PR tool a distrib has in Israel is a regular magazine feature in one the country's most popular paper, a table listing all movies and the critical marks they garnered from the country's eight major film critics (me included) side by side. It is published weekly. Consistently, and you can easily check this with the international folks at Sony and Fox, films that are not screened to critics are not on that table and they perform poorly at the box office, the audience awareness to these movies, even hollywood tentpole movies, is almost non-existant without a notice on this page.

Spiderman 2 was one of the best films of the year in my column in 2004. I fear that old-school marketing, not savvy to today's audiences, and an oversized ego, cause these distribs to believe that a movie like Spiderman 3 can open here without press (bear in mind: I also file movie reccomendations on Israel's largest TV station, my columns are syndicated on the country's largest news web-site and I write the nation's most popular film-blog - the distribs and their PR people want nothing to do with any of these media).

I feel that these distribs can get aways with mid-20th century ego clashes and ban-the-critics-tactics because the studios they rep here are unaware of the PR mess they are making. I wanted to alert you, and hope that you will pass this info on, because it's not too late to save Spiderman's fate over here. Without the press and the critics I predict it will be an esoteric movie that will open big and than vanish, and not the commercial and artistic success I hope it will be.

I stand behind my words, I do not write this anonomously. And I will leave you my contact info. If you need more information, you may feel free to contact me.
