“Who am I? Do you really want to
know?”How much would you pay for an
original Spiderman suit that Tobey Maguire wears in the film?
Then again, if you’re legally challenged and criminally
minded, you might just prefer to steal the suits, and forego
paying altogether. Which is, of course, what happened in April
of 2001. Four Spidey suits were stolen from the costume
department on the production set.
Columbia Pictures
announced a reward of 25,000 dollars for the safe return of
the suits, but they were never returned and the thieves were
never caught.
It could just be me, but I can’t see why a
person would risk incarceration for a pair of Spiderman
pajamas when they can buy a pair at Wal-Mart for 10 dollars.
Sure, the Wal-Mart suit wouldn’t have Tobey Maguire’s butt
mark in them, but I can only see that as a good thing.
Always a bridesmaid and never the guy in the spidey
suit. Did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio and Freddie Prinze
Jr were both considered for the role of Peter Parker. Also,
James Franco originally auditioned for the leading role, but
was instead cast as Harry Osborn, Peter’s best buddy and son
to the Green Goblin himself.
You know, he may be an
unusually acrobatic and chivalrous uncaped crusader, but I
tell you this. I’ve had lots of hang-ups, but never once have
I found the Spider-man. Curious.
