Sci Fi Wire has an interview with Thomas Haden Church, who plays Sandman in the next Spider-Man 3 flick, on the amount of training needed to get in shape for the film. “No. … I mean, … you know, you just … try to once again … toe the line and do what’s asked of you. … But it’s different. … It’s been a great discipline. I worked out for about probably 16 months, and … it was a good … discipline to have in my life. It was very invigorating to reincorporate that.” Via Sci Fi Wire (link)

Fans at the San Diego Comic Con snapped pics of the new poster for the Spider-Man 3 film. I have loved all of the posters done for each of the Spider-Man films (I even snagged one of the original double sided posters from the first film), and I am very pleased with the images I have seen of the latest installment. Granted, this isn’t the best image out there, but the rich colors and fine detail done in the past will make this a nice one to add to my collection. Via Superhero Hype! (link)
