Amazing Spider-man:Ain't it Cool News has struck again. Today some of their scoopers have sent in even more bits about the current filming in Chicago.

They had an open casting call on Nov. 2, and as recently as last weekend they were filming in the city. One of my actor friends was an extra, and they were filming on the El train over the weekend. She had to ride in the train, pretend there was a fight going on (I assume between Spidey and a villain) and react in slow motion. Then this Monday morning another friend spotted a bunch of trucks clearly marked 'Spiderman 2' parked on Wabash Avenue a couple blocks from our school in the Loop (downtown). He said they were filming in a building and security guards were posted outside the doors to prevent people like him from getting a peek.

In addition several readers sent in snippets from an interview with one of the animation designers as he talked about the design challenges they face while creating Doc Ock!

"There's a tricky balance with that character. He's got four mechanical arms that need to interact with him - they're his servants to some extent - but they also have individual aspects of his personality so we're working on portraying that. Also, from a technical standpoint, we're working on a model that has the animation controls that we need to get the actions. It needs to be something all the animators are comfortable with so they don't get bogged down by technical aspects."

Alfie:Empire Online talked with Michael Caine recently about his upcoming projects. According to Caine, talks of revamping up the classic Alfie are in the midst with a possible Brad Pitt in the starring role:

Jetting into London this weekend from the Texan set of his new film Secondhand Lions in which he stars with Robert Duvall and Haley Joel Osment, Caine let slip to Empire Online that the role that made him a star is to be revived – and with a possible Mr Pitt in the central stud's role.{@@@newline@@@}{@@@newline@@@}According to Sir Michael, a writer responsible for hit US sitcom Frasier has been recruited to write the script – a development which prompted Caine to mutter, "I feel rather jealous." And he went on, "I think Brad Pitt's going to play it." Caine was also full of praise for the pretty Mr Aniston, "He's a very good actor, but he's too good-looking so people don’t think he can act."
