 ‘Kingpin’ Talks Daredevil DVD
by Bob Gough Warning: Spoilers Michael Clarke Duncan (The Kingpin) is talking about some of the scenes that got cut from Daredevil that may appear on the DVD. ”There's a scene where I kill my bodyguard that they said was too graphic for the kids,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “And it was! Somebody's leaking information about the Kingpin, and they don't know who it is. So, naturally, I think it's my bodyguard, and all of a sudden I whip my cane out and blast him in the head. He falls, and I grab him in a full nelson and just break his neck. They said, ‘This is too much.’ But hopefully, that'll be on the DVD. --Entertainment Weekly, Superhero Hype Daredevil Movie Adaptation - Signed Version - click here

 Molina is Dr. Octopus in Spidey 2
by Bob Gough The Hollywood trades picked up on what has been Internet rumor for two weeks: actor Alfred Molina will be Dr. Octopus in The Amazing Spider-Man sequel. Here’s how Variety described the role:
“Molina will play Doc Ock, aka Dr. Otto Octavius, an atomic researcher who designs a chest harness with four artificial tentacle-like arms designed to enable him to manipulate radioactive substances from a safe distance. ”The scientist is transformed into a supervillain by a freak lab accident that bombards him with radiation, bonding the harness to his skin and nervous system. Now criminally insane, Doc Ock can control his arms mentally rather than by mechanical controls. Molina’s most recent role was in Frida and the failed TV series Bram & Alice. Shooting begins in April for a May 2004 release. --Reuters, Variety Amazing Spider-Man Lithograph - Remarked Version - click here
