Well, thanks to concept artist Constantine Sekeris (via ComicBookMovie), we now have an insight into the direction that Sam Raimi would have gone with the character, with Sekeris releasing two images of The Lizard as he could have appeared alongside Tobey Maguire's wall-crawler.
The images in question were produced for Spider-Man 2, back when Raimi was planning to have Spider-Man go up against Dylan Baker's Dr. Curt Connors, Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and James Franco's Harry Osborn. Fortunately, someone managed to convince him otherwise...
Be sure to head on over to Constantine Sekeris' site for more concept art from the likes of Spider-Man 3, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Incredible Hulk, Thor, X-Men: First Class, Blade II, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Green Lantern, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, The Cabin in the Woods and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
These concepts are very interesting, but overall I am happy
ReplyDeletewith the direction they took in Marc Webb’s film. A coworker at DISH and I have
long debated the Amazing Spiderman in comparison to the original films. They
may be similar and different in many ways, but I like that the new films are
branching into different villains. I am excited to see what they pursue in this
movie, whether or not the Lizard makes another appearance. I’m glad that I can
watch any of the Spiderman films I want during the wait, using Blockbuster
@Home from DISH. With the speed at which I watch them, it helps that I can get
them delivered quickly in the mail. But I also love that if the wait is too long;
I have the option of unlimited exchanges in a Blockbuster store. Watching the
movies again really helps me refresh on the details and prepare for what’s to
come. So far I am happy with both series and their different portrayels of my
favorite villains.
