Film They're Gonna Kill Spider-Man!

Posted by Jonah Spangenthal-Lee on Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 11:32 AM

Have you ever wanted to see a celebrity crushed to death? Well, head down to the Seattle Police Department's West Precinct—at 8th and Virginia—at 2:00 p.m. today and you might just get your chance.

The cast and crew of The Details will be on hand, filming a scene in which, according to an officer at the precinct, "they're dropping a piano on Tobey Maguire or something."

More likely than not, Maguire will walk away unscathed. But there's always that chance that something goes horribly wrong in a hilarious Looney Tunes kind of way.

i don't wish him dead just incapable of talking so I never have to hear that scratchy, warbling voice ever again...

also, he was shitty and condescending when he was on Jon Stewart and he's a douchebag.

I want a job where I can casually use the sentence "they're dropping a piano on Tobey Maguire or something."

I just walked down to check it out, pretty easy to get up close and see what's going on. They did have a large crane and a piano ready to be hoisted, but it looked like it was going to be awhile. Tobey seems to be aging a bit, unless he was supposed to look that way.
