Hey folks, Harry here... I've been getting emails all day long about a new listing over at IMDB which has added Sam Neill as playing Dr Octopus in SPIDER-MAN 2. Now, because IMDB can be updated by the public at large, and the IMDB people then work to confirm and correct in retrospect, this info at this time should be considered as total rumor. HOWEVER, Sam Neill is friggin perfect casting. I had always wanted Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but the second I heard Sam Neill and Dr. Octopus in the same sentence, I began to flip. Love that idea. And it is a helluvalot better than the rumored Robin Williams casting rumors for the part. We're working on getting to the bottom of this rumor, which I hope, at the very least, might become true if it isn't already. Here ya go...
Hey Harry,
Internet Movie Database (imdb.com) has it listed that Jurassic Park actor Sam Niell has been cast as Doctor Otto Octavius or, as we know him, Dr. Octopus. I'm not sure if it is a rumor or a fact. Just giving a heads-up. Keep Up The Good Work.
