Peter Parker & Betty Brant in Indie Movie "The Details"

Whenever I see Tobey Maguire playing a character that's not Peter Parker, it's always seems a bit odd to me, like in Seabiscuit and The Good German. Maguire is now set to star in an indie black comedy called The Details written and directed by Jacob Estes (of Mean Creek previously). Shooting begins August in Seattle, which means he'll get to this before reprising his role as Peter Parker in Spider-Man 4. Elizabeth Banks stars alongside of Maguire; the two play a struggling married couple. In addition to those two, the cast includes Ray Liotta, Dennis Haysbert and Anna Friel, with Laura Linney also playing an eccentric neighbor.

The lives of this married couple are further complicated by ravenous raccoons burrowing in their back yard. A disagreement over how to kill the rodents creates a chain reaction of mishaps that includes a murder by bow and arrow. Maguire is replacing James McAvoy, who had originally been cast, but later dropped out due to a scheduling conflict. "Maguire's character is an everyman in the sense that he is composed of a morally ambiguous core," Estes explained. "He has good intentions, but he makes a lot of self-destructive mistakes." This sounds like it could be a great indie that I'll be looking forward to seeing at a film festival.

Elizabeth Banks is a great actress - from Scrubs to W. to Zack and Miri she's been good in everything Ive seen her in. Banks deservesto be in a lot more big movies.

On a seperate note here's who i think would make a great Peter Parker if McGuire ever quits-

Bret Harrison!

superdog- Nope, Tia isn't in that one. Kim Cattral is, overacts and talks way to much. You get to see her twat in Porky's. Major bush administration back in those days.

It took me years before I even realized that was Elizabeth Banks playing Betty Brant. I remember going "Oh damn, thats J.D.'s girlfriend!"

Josh24 I think Brett Harrison would be a great Peter Parker. He almost cant get away from playing the nerdy, down on his luck type characters. Reaper was a awesome show and I'm so bummed it got canned! I wonder if theres any truth to the rumor of it being turned into a comic?

longbowhunter: same here! i didnt realise until i saw Spider-Man 3-i had to go back after and check to see if it was a different actress in 1 and 2 as i didnt recognise her at all before that, lol! Ive only just started watching Reaper on the net but its one of the best TV shows ive ever seen-i cant believe it got cancelled!! And yeah, Harrison would make a great Spider-Man! unlike McGuire he actually has that Paker quality to him that Ive never really got from the previous films. I heard about the comic book rumour and i think its true-i just havent looed up any details about it yet in case the articles had spoilers for how season 2 ended!
