Green Goblin Makeup test for Sam Raimis SPIDER-MAN

[NewEnglandGothic]

Do you think the real reason they actually really used the mask in the movie, because one marketing exec suggested Halloween costumes could bring in more revenue for the film as the DVD would be released before Thanksgiving that year in a focus meeting. "A simple-yet, less-intense(complicated) mask would be perfect for a five year old hobgoblin's parent". I think about this a lot whenever the first one comes on cable. I wish they didn't go with the "look" they used, considered Williem DaFoe's wide range of expressions(Off Limits, Speed 2 ( ). The Macy Gray concert scene was kinda dated too in 2002.

I agree that Iron man Green Goblin wanna be was terrible.

I agree they really could have done better with the Goblin in the film, but this makeup test doesn't help the comic accurate look either.

If they did go this route they needed to downsize the ears (think Mr. Spock) and make the eyes less bulbous.

 

Looks pretty damned accurate to me.

A million times better than the Green Power Ranger Goblin.

 

 

 

I agree,looks much nicer than the one they chose.

I would have far preferred this design had I been privy to it's existence a decade ago. But, I don't suppose this sort of an organic version of GG would have fit in with the whole defense contract origin used.

 

But, let's hope that should the powers that be decide to go with Norman Osborn ought to be the villain again within the next few years that they go with this ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN organic look.

I disagree - I wish they'd used that in the movie.

I can't even express how epic Spider-Man 1 would have been with this Goblin.

I really feel sick to my stomach because they didn't use this. Like we were cheated as Spidey fans.

He was already half way there.

Exactly when they announced he was playing the Goblin - I asked "who's playing Norman?"

[Silvers24]

Sides for the eyes, and maybe the "hat" (Could of been better, and the eyes was to "alien" like...normal would of worked).

 

It would of been better I suppose.

"would have"

 

The hat and eyes were place holders for CGI to be added. That's not exactly what the finished product would have looked like.

I see, and very true.

 

Also I am drunk, so spelling and full finished sentences are very rare. right now. Although I am going to say good night.

Agreed.

Okay, just because you two are sharing the same computer doesn't mean you can high-five each other and yell, "Back me on this post!"

 

 

[Norrin_Radd]

I'm on the fence. But what's done is done. Hopefully they'll use a goblin mask in some future movie (thumbs u ..... so fans can bitch about how unrealistic and silly it looks.

 

 

And for the record... Willem DaFoe's Norman Osborn/Green Goblin was my favorite part of the first Spider-man movie (which is probably my favorite comic movie).

 

[Secret Son]

I would have much rather have seen the makeup. I didn't like the mask at all.

 

 

[TupennyConan]

The makeup is perfect. Too bad.

I also think they should have used this kind of mask over the film version. I can't believe this is the first time im seeing this. It only took almost 10 years.
