SPIDER-MAN 2 UPDATE

"The accident (that fuses the tentacles to Otto) is both a personal tragedy, a major loss, a loss of pride. And everything, again, is blamed on Spider-Man.

At the recent press junket for Seabiscuit, Tobey Maguire fielded several questions about Spider-Man 2.

"I'm really having a good time," Maguire said. "Everybody on the picture has done it before. So I feel like it's going even better than the first one. The story's even better than the first one. I'm having fun, you know. It's exciting."

Asked if people were getting tired of "overhyped" sequels, Maguire said, "I don't know. If a movie is good, then people will go see it."

Asked if he will be in a third Spider-Man film, Maguire said, "You know, let's see if they're going to make a third one."

In other Spider-Man news:

* John Dykstra, special effects producer, told The Continuum that the clip of Doc Ock shown at Comic-Con International was not the final version of the scene. "And there's much more in this movie," he said.

* USA Today interviewed director Sam Raimi about the film and revealed several facts, including that Dylan Baker will appear as Dr. Curt Connors and Maguire's Seabiscuit co-star, Elizabeth Banks, will return with a slightly larger role at Betty Brant.
