Alright, let's get the Twilight out of the way first. Entertainment Weekly has a couple of new images from the set of New Moon, and if anything, I suppose it's small solace that director Chris Weitz looks like he has this shoot on schedule for a November 20th release. For those of us who didn't know, this sequel concerns Bella (Kristen Stewart) and her divided love for both vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson - SQUEE!) and werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner). Maybe Kate Beckinsale should give her some advice on how to handle this...
Now, in somewhat related news, the rumor du jour as to which villain will play a part in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4 has turned to Morbius, the well-meaning scientist (natch) who unwittingly transforms himself into a psuedo-vampire (no, thank you, Wikipedia!). The notorious showman plays coy when asked in this FearNET interview (that's hosted on... CHUD?), but then goes on about the appeal of vampires in a way that doesn't rule the possibility out...
Spider-Man 4 is scheduled for a 2011 bow, so let me use this as yet another opportunity to nudge you to support Raimi's very fun Drag Me to Hell this weekend.

If Morbius is the villain in Spiderman 4 then Blade will also need to be in the movie. That could be really terrible or really awesome.

Morbius is the pick because of the popularity of TWILIGHT; that goes without saying. I'm still waiting for Doc Connor (sp?) to become the Lizard. Maybe that'll be the formulaic double-villain fare this go-round.

I hope Black Cat is in this; Spidey and her have good chemistry together. But Morbius? Are we digging the bottom of the Spidey-villain barrel?

Not my first choice for a Spider-Man villain. Or the second. Or third. But it's better than the Jackal or the Chameleon, I guess. But hey, if they make Morbious work, they deserve to move up to The Lizard.

Man, what's the hold up with The Lizard? I hope this vampire trend goes the way of the beach party movies. XP

No offense to the author but wikipedia isn't exactly the most accurate to get your news from. I heard that the Lizard will be in the fourth one because Sam Raimi said that if there is a fourth one, he'll have Doc Conner as the Lizard. its le that Morbius might be included too in the fourth one but i'm not sure. its either that or Man-Wolf. we'll just have to see. I do hope they're able to put the Black Cat in somewhere though because she's been in like EVERY Other kind of adaptation

vegimorph, he didn't get the news from wikipedia, he got the character's back story from wikipedia. He cited chud.com as his source for the rumor.
And Morbius is a bad idea...but then again, so is Spider-Man 4.

Someone should make a *real* vampire movie that will scare the crap out of all the teenie boppers. I liked vampires when they were horror, and not pop culture.

oh Black Cat! :)
On topic though, Morbius would be cool or possibly Kraven the Hunter, but hopefully they'll concentrate on one villain this time.

They Messed Up Soo.. Bad At the End Of SM3 With Killing Venom And Harry ,Morbius is Okay But They'll Have To Have A Grade-A Script For His Roll To Be Intersting.
iThink Carnege Would Be A Good Villian for part for.
They Should Make away To Bring Venom back Two.
if They Would Do That ithink the movie would be great.
Kus Morbius isnt All That intresting.

Its not Morbius. Why would Raimi play off the successes of a terrible movie series like Twilight? Gross.

Carnage. if you want to play off a great success, why not wacked out serial killer, dont catch my drift? remember last summer, the box office smash hit that almost nobody had something bad to say about. The Dark Knight. Everyone is waiting for another messed up, incorruptable villain, and Carnage just seems to be perfect. Also, he is my favourite villain, a flying vampire is just plain stupid, and a man-lizard? be careful wat u ask for, cuz it may catch the fan boys eyes, but what indifferent person would want to go see a lizard talk and junk, you can make carnage believeable and potentially the highest grossing film of all time???? i think so, but Sam, if you are going to make another stinker, dont kill your best villain, just wait till they fire you, and ill make it haha.

ok people, this is what needs to happen, they can make any villian bad ass ONLY if they do it right, they need to get rid of the the rated G movie for spiderman, they need to make it Rated R do a punisher war zone type of movie with an outlook that will appease adults, you don't see kids running around with Punisher war zone t-shirts because it was not made for kids, but you see them all running around with Spiderman shirts because these damn movies were made for kids, so either expects another lousy spidey flick or they can pull their heads out of their asses and make a bad ass flick here, if they brought in Morbious that would be sweet but he would have to do some major damage and i mean grabbing people flying 200 ft in the air and ripping their throat out and blood flying every where, they made the 1st 3 for kids but make it more interesting for us adults too, i mean in all actuality we are the ones making marvel the money anyways, kids don't buy comic books anymore not at 3-4$ each, and they have video games now, when was the last time you seen a 8yr old in the comic shop buying a book?? they need to wreck shop in spiderman 4 bring in Carnage and drop hot ass black cat in there make her a stripper and lets see her in some things on stage and then when she leaves she is the black cat do something great!!!! get Tim Burton on the case or something
