For those who may have missed it, here is a look at Alfred Molina as Doc Ock in the Spider-Man sequel, revealed at the San Diego Con this weekend:
Looks a bit better than the Green Goblin.
And here is a description of the clip shown, from Ain't It Cool News:
quote:The footage they showed was of a group of doctors going over Dr. Octavius' "accident", looking at computer readings showing the tentacles have been fused with the spine... The decision is made to cut off the tentacles, then figure out how to save his spine.
Doc Ock is laid out, face down, on a table, his eyes covered in white gauze. His 4 tentacles are wrapped in white sheets and hanging by ties to the ceiling around the room... Think the Alien Queen from ALIENS. There's tension as the main surgeon takes a buzz saw and turns it on. One of the tentacles twitches. The surgeon stops the saw, looks at the tentacle... nothing. He turns it back on again and gets very close to the metal skin of the first tentacle. BAM! The tentacles break free and beat the holy hell out of all the doctors and nurses.
This scene is classic Raimi... Following flying tentacles through the air, quick zooms into the open, screaming mouths of the nurses... The whole time Molina is laying on the surgical table completely motionless. One of the doctors gets trapped by a tentacle... looks around and sees a little sterile-silver chainsaw on the table next to him... tries to inch towards it. Then it cuts to Tentacle-cam. All 4 of the tentacles have the ability to take video it seems... it actually looked really sweet.
The tentacle thwarts the doctor's attempt to grab the chainsaw... cut away to many doctors and nurses getting smacked in the chest, face, legs by the other tentacles... the chainsaw doctor gets knocked down... all of a sudden the sound of a chainsaw roars to life and you see a gloved hand hold it high in the air triumphantly only to get totaled by the tentacle.
Everyone is down... Molina begins to wake up. He raises his head and a tentacle gently takes off the surgical gauze blindfold for him. This move was incredible. It was either some of the best CG I've ever seen or it was animatronic. If it was animatronic work, then count me doubly impressed. It was smooth and casual as if it really was just another hand at Doc Ock's disposal.
Doc Ock apparently isn't too happy with the situation. He gets up on his knees and in a wide shot we see him lamenting the situation, crying out "No!" as his tentacles flail and flex.

Looks very cool. I think they should throw in another Spidey villain as a non sequitor fight -- just part of Spidey fighting crime in the city. It could be at the beginning like all those James Bond movies just to start things off with a bang.
I'd also love it if they did the Lizard (screw Venom)-- the CGI should be good enough to pull it off by the next film.

It would have been cool to see the Lizard this time around. Especially had the rumors been true and he'd been played by Bruce Campbell.

Hey, a cold opening against some of the lesser lights like the Enforcers would be pretty cool at that. The little red lights in the claws are a neat touch. I think the Doc Ock look is much better than the distractingly bad Goblin armor.
