#JAMES FRANCO SPIDERMAN 2 MOVIE#
I lie there and have to get in a coupe hours earlier and I watch a movie and they go to work, and then they paint it and…I don’t think it really inhibited my performance at all. It feels kind of like a raw piece of meat.

I’m trying to think…I don’t think anything I’ve done on anything else…it’s a pain to put on, you know it takes a couple hours. SHH!: Is this the first time you’ve worn the effects makeup in any film? And, if so, did it hinder your character or help you?įranco: It’s the first time I’ve worn that large of a prosthetic. So I think it’s wrapped up very, very well. It could be good but that’s also the point where sequels and franchises get into a little bit of trouble, you know you have a character and they have a well-thought out story, and then that ends and you want to do more with them and so you say, “well, let’s put ’em in some other crazy situation” and it’s a lot of the time it’s not as good. And, they would have to make up a new storyline. But that’s really been the arch for all three films. And once that’s resolved in this film—and you know Harry struggles as well in this film—once that’s resolved, there’s not—I don’t see that there’s a lot more for Harry to do that could start a new arch. First he decides he’s going to avenge his father then finds out that the person that killed his father is his best friend, and he has to work through that and now he’s decided that he’s going to kill his best friend regardless of their friendship. His loyalty to his father and his loyalty to Peter and the friendship with Peter—and, goes trough different developments. SHH!: Can you talk about the redemptive ending there?įranco: I think it’s perfectly wrapped up. And, it makes it you know doing another movie more interesting. It’s the same path but it’s further along in the development. His arch is not completed until this last film. And the great thing about the character too is that he doesn’t…he develops through all three films. And then especially in this third one he’s avenging his uncle’s death, and I’m doing the same—I’m avenging my father’s death. You know he’s almost a parallel to Peter—they both lose…I lose a father. And, obviously it’s a smaller role, but they’ve given me a lot to do in that role. And as far as I know he didn’t audition anybody else for Harry and he just called me up and asked me if I wanted to play that role. And, but after the test, after Tobey got it, I guess Sam and I got along well enough that he wanted me in the movie. I think he has done a better job than I would do in that role. And then Tobey got the role and…I mean nobody believes when I say that I think he’s a perfect for the role.

There were cranes and sets and they kept me waiting about six weeks. It must have been thousands of dollars just for this test. SHH!: What do you like about the development of Harry’s character over these films?įranco: Well, you know people bring up the fact that I auditioned for Peter Parker and I tested and it was huge test. And, so, in the beginning I might have, you know before I’d seen the first one, I might have been reluctant to be a super hero because it would seem cheesy, but, after realizing what the movies were really like, I was happy to do it. When I signed on to the first one I…well I love Sam and I love working with him but I didn’t know what kind of movie it would be—I knew it was going to be a big blockbuster but I didn’t realize the hear that he would put into it, and the emphasis that he would put on the characters in developing the characters and the story.

So, I was pretty sure that he would come in part 3 and…you know…my feelings toward the movies have really changed. I actually thought it would happen in part 2 until I saw that he was just left hanging at the end. And the way they ended part I—I assume it’s—that would happen. I mean, in the comic books Harry does take over for his father.
#JAMES FRANCO SPIDERMAN 2 SERIES#
SHH!: Have you been waiting through the whole series to get these action moments?įranco: Well, I kind of expected it.
