Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Coming Home (1978)?

Before this Spider-Man film was made,
Sam Raimi
was going to direct "Spider-Man 4". Raimi originally wanted to include only one villain, and he wanted
Dylan Baker
to reprise his role as Dr. Curt Connors so that he could finally become the main villain, the Lizard. Baker was going to return for "Spider-Man 4", but Raimi apparently was told by Sony not to include the Lizard as the villain because the studio thought it would have been better to have a human villain with a visible face, like Doctor Octopus in "Spider-Man 2". With those orders, Raimi decided to have the Vulture as the main villain and he cast
John Malkovich
in the part. He also wanted
Anne Hathaway
to be his daughter, the Vulturess, as a rumored love interest/enemy for Spider-Man. Reports say that Sony did not want the Vulture as the main villain, because they felt it wasnt a challenging or popular enough villain for Spider-Man to fight with and the studio thought theyd have too many unsold Vulture toys on shelves when the film was released. Creative disagreements with the script and the choice of villain(s) ultimately led Sam Raimi to leave the project. Ironically, on-line rumors indicate that the next main villain for the "Spider-Man" reboot might be the Lizard.

Bob Gale
informed him that a bowl of raisins would photograph like a bowl of dirt. The only thing that appears in the film is Marty jumping over Red, sleeping on a bench that is advertising California Raisins.
