The Amazing Spiderman (2012)

I did not see this coming...

EXCLUSIVE: 'SPIDER-MAN 4' SCRAPPED; SAM RAIMI & TOBEY MAGUIRE & CAST OUT; FRANCHISE REBOOT FOR 2012

"BREAKING NEWS! 2ND UPDATE: Mike Fleming and I have just confirmed that Sony Pictures decided today to reboot the Spider-Man franchise after franchise director Sam Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 because he felt he couldn't make its summer release date and keep the film's creative integrity. This means that Raimi and the cast including star Tobey Maguire are out. There will be no Spider-Man 4. Instead, Mike Fleming is told, the studio will focus on a Summer 2012 reboot from a script by Jamie Vanderbilt with a new director and a new cast. All this took place today at meeting on the lot today. An official Sony Pictures news release about it is expected out now (see below)."

Well i'm guessing they going, the ultimate spiderman route or something similar.

[TheApprentice]

I actually like that they're doing a reboot. Spiderman 3 wasn't as great as everyone hoped it would be. A new touch on the franchise would be welcome by all means.

[disciple]

i think even the stars would be relieved....

[Berzerk]

i actually liked spiderman 1 & 2. heck spiderman 2 was very well done.

3 was bad but not horrible. really didnt see the need for a reboot. just curious to see who the cast will turn out to be. tobey was perfect imo.

well this is interesting news

Sony Pictures' scrapping of superhero movie could mean an earlier-than-expected start to Sam Raimi's big-screen adaptation of Blizzard series; effect on Activision's upcoming Spider-Man game unknown.

that was a perfect article for a revamp. i cant think of a thing to add to be honest.

if only Hollywood would actually listen.

[Berzerk]

dread i now go to say that oui. very very true. thats an awesome series.

[Archer]

Well i definitely agree with the part about wisecracking.The last movies attempted this but wasn't good as it should have been.

 =\ .........I don't think so.

Director officially announced - Marc Webb (http://www.superherohype.com/news/spider-mannews.php?id=8998)

Interesting choice. I really liked 500 Days of Summer so I don't mind them giving him the chance. Wonder if he'll try to get Joseph Gordon Levitt as spidey? lol

Even tho this is just a rumor that part about the 80 Million budget bugs me :\ ,I do like that they would use the Ultimate storyline tho.

[AvatarTT]

80mil? Really? That's like half of the 1st movie's budget.

If that's true let's hope they're taking notes from District 9.

[Archer]

Yea bcuz if i hear he has no involvement in the movie, i won't even bother following this anymore.

Now they wanna release almost every movie in 3D, lawd.

[Crixx_Creww]

yay!! we get to see more ridiculous crap like spiderman stopping a train with his f*&*&( feet!!
steups, they will never ever live that down with me

Now they wanna release almost every movie in 3D, lawd.

Well, looks like we could count on that aspect of the movie to be good at least:


"Nearly two decades ago, long before the comic movie craze caught fire, James Cameron planned to make SPIDER-MAN. And although he's since moved on to crafting entire new worlds from powerful processors, he's still caught in the web. By Webb.

As we know, Sony has (500) DAYS OF SUMMER director Marc Webb relaunching the wall-crawler, and wants it to be delivered in lucrative 3-D format. Is there anyone more qualified to dispense knowledge of the format than the guy who made two billion bucks with it? SHITNO.

According to MTV, Webb had a powwow with the tech-savvy box office overlord to compare notes and discuss the complexities of filming in 3-D (as opposed to the frenzy of post-production converting that's the new rage). As AVATAR producer Jon Landau says, "[Webb] wants to do the next one in 3-D, which they’ve announced that they want to do. So, we want to try to support that as much as possible."

While it's unknown just how much further Cameron will be involved beyond the initial mindmeld, he is an admitted fan of Webb's Zooey/JGL romcom, and clearly has an affinity for the character. As he recently said: "I've sort of made it pretty clear that Spider-Man was the guy I liked when I was a kid and I wasn't too interested in the others. I feel there are too many superhero movies right now, I think Hollywood's in a bit of a rut. They've done the good ones and they're starting to get down to the second and third tier of superheroes — the guys that would not be asked to speak at the annual superhero dinner."

He will obviously be busy doing an AVATAR sequel, or BATTLE ANGEL ALITA, or going back underwater for another decade, but having a guy like Cameron steering you in the right direction can't hurt -- maybe they'll get him involved as a producer?"
