While doing an interview discussing their summer action flick, WHITE HOUSE DOWN, by director Roland Emmerich about an all out assault on the White House, gifted thespian and funny man, Jamie Foxx, and up and comer Channing Tatum, take a few minutes to tease each's upcoming and highly anticipated films, JUPITER ASCENDING and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.

JUPITER ASCENDING, the upcoming sci-fi film from the Wachowskis, starring Tatum and Mila Kunis (OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL) tells the story of a young woman played by Kunis who discovers she has a very important destiny. Tatum plays an ex-soldier and hunter who is also a wolf man of sorts. “I’m a splice, splices are essentially built in a test tube. I’m a hybrid wolf and human. And half albino, so I’m a little defective.” Tatum also highlights that the film utilizes few digital stunt men. “We are breaking ground on—I mean it’s a tough shoot. We’re doing stuff that’s never been done, inside the camera, in the CG world, and the physical stuff. There’s very little, if not no, digital stuntmen in the movie. All the stuff is really real and it’s been hard figuring it out because they don’t like doing anything that’s been done before. So we’re definitely doing some new stuff, so hopefully everybody likes it. And it’s fun, it’s got some cheek to it. It’s a cheeky movie a little bit.”

While Foxx did not go into a lot of detail regarding Marc Webb's highly anticipated sequel, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 and his role as primary adversary to everyone's favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, Foxx did admit, “I’m just happy to be a part of it. I’ll let you know this: Spider-Man definitely has a formidable opponent, someone who really does not like him.”

Look for JUPITER ASCENDING in 3D in theaters on July 25, 2014 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to swing into theaters in 3D on May 2, 2014.

Thats good to hear, a bad guy who REALLY does not like him. Lizard was sympathic ( good in his own right) but Rhino and Electro will be ruthless

Electro is still going to be a sympathetic villain but, will still end up hating Spider-Man in the end of it all. At least he'll be written in a good and interesting way for once. That's always been my problem with Electro and Rhino. They're typical street villains with (in Electro's case) powers. I've never found them interesting and their fights with Spider-Man have been boring. Hopefully, this movie changes that. Hopefully, I'll finally get a fight between Spider-Man/Electro and Spider-Man/Rhino that's entertaining and doesn't suck. Personally, I love sympathetic villains. They're more interesting than just the pure evil villains. That's one of the reasons in the comics and in The Amazing Spider-Man (I feel it could've worked better but, they got it to work in my opinion) why, The Lizard was an interesting villain and has been my all time favorite for years now. He's a sympathetic villain who is one of Spider-Man's deadliest foes and (even though they didn't put that situation on him in the movie) it makes it harder for him to defeat the villain when he also has to save his friend without hurting him.

Prefer the original look of, The Lizard. Definitely one of my all time favorite comicbooks. Glad they went with this look. Worked so well on screen.



Blue Electro is the way to go



Rhino has always just flat out sucked. The mecha Rhino just looks cooler. Should've chose a different villain to have Spidey face off with. Electro should do damage though.



Hope the reports the other day aren't true. Green Goblin's exact outfit wouldn't work on screen but, the basics of it shouldn't be [frick]ed with. Just stick as closely to the source material as you can, jackass.



Unfortunately, if they don't get Green Goblin right, the potential of this franchise goes down the drain before Spider-Man 4 becomes Marvel's Batman & Robin... what a shame. At least we might be getting this character



I still have hope for The Amazing Spider-Man franchise. The first one is the best Spider-Man yet and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 may give it a run for its money. Really looking forward to the Dennis Leary scene.
