Speaking with MTV's self proclaimed 'movie guy', Josh Horowitz - Rhys Ifans took the opportunity to make the poor man a little uncomfortable.

Rhys Ifans told MTV that he had filmed most of his scenes wearing a motion capture suit, but the great news is that his voice, his eyes and his facial expressions will be preserved to make sure that the when we look at The Lizard we won't just see a emotionless CGI model.

"It's totally my voice," Ifans told MTV News when asked if we'd be hearing his Lizard voice when the movie arrives next year. "I'm sure the voice will be toyed with in the eventual edits, but when I was shooting the CGI moments, when I wasn't actually human, when I was Lizard, I looked like a crash-test dummy in a green leotard thing. There were many moments when I had to speak to Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the Lizard."


Not content with simply telling us that we'd be hearing his Lizard voice, Ifans one-upped us with one heck of a terrifying exclusive: his first public performance of the Lizard's voice!

"Sooooo prettyyyyy," he hissed at MTV's Josh Horowitz, making our fearless reporter very, very uncomfortable. "Beauuuuutiful MTV ... "

Creepy. Glad to see we might get the "intelligent" Lizard on film, the one that talks, like in the 90's cartoon, rather than the MTV spiderman show. Bring it.

Wow, that video's really interesting. I like the part where MTV basically says "anyone who isnt American can go [frick] themselves, you aren't watching this video"...
Why cant they broadcast it overseas 'for copyright reasons'? Is it only non-American's who can steal videos? The fact that the interviewer works for MTV should be a big sign it's an MTV vid, as well as the fact the MTV logo is plastered across the mics. Why not at least make the video only viewable on the MTV website to over-seas viewers, instead of making it impossible to see?

[frick]ing MTV.

@sexymuppet That's the first thing I thought, but only shittier. I guess they will try to save it with audio FX.

Sounds alright to me. Haters will hate no matter what so their opinions mean little to me. I have no doubt that this movie, will be good as well as the Avengers and TDKR. According to those who have been lucky enough to view actual scenes, they say that the writers nailed Peter Parker. They made him witty, and slightly arrogant, unlike the emo Peter Parker that Raimi gave us. Seriously did he need to make Peter break down and cry in every movie?
