Avi Arad Speaks on Upcoming Marvel Adaptations
July 22nd, 2003 at 11:50 am (Movie News)
Today Comics Continuum has an update from comic adaptation producer Avi Arad on Spiderman2 as well as other upcoming comic adaptation projects
Spider-Man II (2004): “The accident (that fuses the tentacles to Otto) is both a personal tragedy, a major loss, a loss of pride. And everything, again, is blamed on Spider-Man. And he goes through a journey with his arms. What’s unique is each one has a personality and they sort of take control of him. As our tradition is, our villains aren’t complete villains, they’re complex characters, especially in time of tragedy.”
Blade: Trinity (2004): “We have a great script, Wesley (Snipes) is back and we are doing our thing,” Arad said. David Goyer is writing and directing.
Hulk 2: “We are just waiting for a script,” Arad said. “We are going to make another Hulk, absolutely.”
Punisher, The (2004): Arad said production starts in two weeks. “Awesome. Great casting. Great movie,” he said.
Fantastic Four (2004): “We have a release date and we are all working hard to get there,” Arad said of the Christmas 2004 film. Arad confirmed that Ralph Winter, producer of the two X-Men movies, is on board.
Other Marvel adaptations in the works produced by Arad include:
Ghost Rider (2004)
Iron Fist (2004)
Elektra (2005)
And
Man-Thing (2003)

Does anyone know Avi Arad’s home mailing address
or an address I could mail him? I have written a
SPIDER-MAN 3 script, featuring VENOM and CARNAGE!
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Corey Abrams

I think that you should consider doing a silver surfer film in full, completely artistic animation. I think a 90 minute epic that starts with Galactis and the origins and includes guest appearances by the Hulk, Fantastic Four, Spider Man, Thor, X Men, The Inhumans, Mephisto, the heralds of Galactus and very tasteful, action packed favorite story lines and gorgeous animation.
