Tobey Maguire, Sam Raimi Ready For Two Spidey Sequels

BuzzSugar — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 06:30:38 PDT

Get ready for Spider-Man to weave his blockbuster web at least two more times. The talk of more Spidey sequels started right after Spider-Man 3's big opening weekend last Summer, and now there's news that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are about to commit to two more films.

Though The Dark Knight broke Spider-Man's box office records this Summer, the Hollywood Reporter notes that Spider-Man is still the most profitable movie franchise for Sony, with the first three films combining for a total of $2.5 billion worldwide.

There were some rumors a while back that Maguire might not return for another sequel, though a Sony spokesman said, "Tobey was our only choice and the only person we've discussed the role with." He'll have some time off before getting back into the Spidey suit: The current plan is for the first sequel, written by James Vanderbilt of Zodiac, to start filming in the Fall of 2009. The movies might film back-to-back, Lord of the Rings-style, with Spider-Man 4 hitting theaters in May 2011.

Still up in the air:

Whether Kirsten Dunst will be back as Mary Jane.
Whether any other actors will reprise their roles.
What villains will appear in the next two films.

Most of you weren't exactly thrilled at the prospect of more Spidey, so I'm wondering: What, if anything, would get you back to the theater for a fourth (and fifth) Spider-Man?

Let's Have a Parade! Behind the Scenes at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Strike up the band; the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is ready to go! A time-honored tradition for many families, the nationally televised parade is the perfect mode of entertainment for multiple generations who've gathered together for the holiday. This is the 85th year Macy's has put on the parade that winds its way through New York City, and it looks to be bigger and better than ever. With 15 gigantic balloons - including new friends such as Paul Frank's Julius, the Aflac duck, and a new character created by Tim Burton, as well as longtime favorites like Kermit the Frog, Mickey Mouse, and Spider-Man - 27 floats, 800 clowns, and 1,600 cheerleaders, there's plenty to entertain fidgety tots.

I got a behind-the-scenes look at the helium-filled wonders tonight, as their handlers - the large balloons require up to 100 handlers each! - got them ready for their moment in the spotlight. Under the direction of a new grand marshal, the parade gets underway bright and early on Thanksgiving Day. If you don't plan to be one of the 3.5 million people who line the streets to watch the festivities pass by, check out my sneak peek at the fan-favorite balloons, and then tune into NBC to see just how high they fly!

Video: Andrew Garfield Adorably Surprises Fans as Spidey at Comic-Con

Whether or not The Amazing Spider-Man will be a hit remains to be seen, but one thing's for sure - star Andrew Garfield isn't taking any of it for granted. Ahead of the film's panel at Comic-Con, Garfield surprised the fans in Hall H by taking the microphone in a store-bought Spidey suit, pretending to be a devotee of the comic. He then unmasked and proceeded to give one of the cutest speeches ever, discussing his excitement about the role and even saying that Peter Parker saved his life. I dare you not to fall in love with this kid when you watch it - his shaking hands alone made me want to give him a hug.

Strike Up the Stove: How to Make Cake Pops For a Bowling Party

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 07:00:42 PST

You won't be able to stay out of the alley with these adorable treats! Cupcakes and cake may be traditional, but today it's all about the cake pop. There's something about the sweetness of chocolate, cake, and icing on a stick that appeals to partygoers. For my son's 5th birthday, I combined his current fascination with Spider-Man with bowling to create pops. I spread the labor-intensive process out over several days (there are only so many hours for baking in a working mama's day!) to create Spidey-colored bowling balls and pins. The results, according to the kids and parents in attendance, were well worth the time spent perfecting them. Here's how I made the bite-sized treats.
