could be a good thing for true comic lovers

[Jsunu]

Thank god, no more weird EMO parker

[spoon.ek9]

thank god, no more kirsten dunst as mary jane.

also, eric foreman =/= venom.

[woob]

Idunno man... as mediocre as the third one was, I don't think you can re-do the 1st iteration of the series.

[Crowtservo]

Too soon for any kind of "reboot". I think they should just drop it altogether. There are enough super hero movies coming out these days.

[Gilgamesh]

2nd one worked imo. Third was awful....

[Lomac]

Too soon for any kind of "reboot".

Exactly what I was thinking. Need to wait at least another five years before a reboot can be justified for anything other than an obvious cash grab.

[urrh]

yay no more kristen dunst
who do you guys want to see as mj?
i think rachel nichols would be good

[Crowtservo]

They definitely jumped on the reboot boat pretty quick.

if they're going to be in highschool she'd be too old


A reboot sounds alright if its anything like that cartoon Spectacular Spiderman?
cartoon is pretty dope


but they're going to need to have a different villain as the 1st enemy as its too close to re-do Green Goblin, Octopus, sandman,Venom

Maybe go the Gangster route (hmm like that cartoon) and have Electro, Hammerhead, Kingpin

Or The Lizard/Kraven etc

should be cool :)

[wassup]

They should get a new cast and crew and make something different like ultimate spiderman or something. They have enough comics and different stories to make more movies.

[woob]

my vote goes to Emma Stone as MJ!

Great idea for a reboot. I'm a total spidey fan!

I have a feeling this reboot will have something to do with an Avengers movie or something like that. Look at all the other Marvel movies coming out too. Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, Spider-Man. It's got Avenger's written all over it!

Don't forget The Hulk. They've already set him up to be in it at the end of the 2008 "The Incredible Hulk" with Edward Norton. Would be cool if they threw Spider Man in there too (even though he wasn't original in the Avengers... though I guess Captain America technically wasn't either)

[SkinnyPupp]

Batman Begins changed everything, just like X-Men changed everything in 2000

god i hope not..... MJ is supposed to be super model hot



but they should go the route that Stan Lee wanted (to have Gwen Stacy and MJ fight for Peters love and eventually Gwen wins out)

[nabs]

didn't the reboot for the Hulk come out just a few years in between?

I think its a fine idea.

[Ronin]

Spider-man 3 was absolute shit.

Problem is...Spider-man isn't really a "serious" franchise so it can't really handle the tone of the new Batman movies if that's what you guys are thinking of in terms of reboot. I'm hoping they just don't make it shitty since the first two Spider-man films were fantastic and the third was just garbage.

[Grandmaster TSE]

mary jane shouldn't be in the picture yet, they should start it off with gwen stacy

since its in high school, it'll be the whole geeky guy trying to awkwardly ask her out while fighting crime on the side.

i think they should start with the lizard or electro for the first one

then the second movie can be about parker with gwen stacy in a relationship with green goblin as the main nemesis, and of course end with the death

third movie is when MJ steps in

What really got me was the fact that 3 was made by basically the same people from 1 & 2, i just wonder how they effed up so badly

[urrh]

the movie studio wanted a story about venom and raimi didn't. so venom was half assedly slipped in.
at least that's how i understood it.

[RacePace]

I think the first two Spider-man movies were perfect so re-doing the origin story would be a huge risk toward failure

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

thx god there isnt a spiderman 4

or the shocker! or... make all the marvel movies lead to the Civil War storyline. :D

the shocker wouldn't be bad, but he wouldn't make a really good main villian, secondary for sure

[JKam]

That's true... Maybe Kingpin + Sinister 6? haha

[spoon.ek9]

i just hope they correct the giant overlooking of the way spiderman shoots his web. it comes from a fucking canister, not straight out of his wrist! the guy is a fucking chemist for god's sake..

[Tegra_Devil]

they should do for spiderman what was done for batman(dark knight)

[josh t-1]

Spider Man Reboot?

http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj257/josh-t1/Revscene/reboot.jpg

sounds good to me!

[Grandmaster TSE]

too early for sinister 6

[StylinRed]

the webs are going to come out of his ass in the reboot, to make him more like a spider :haha:

[jlo mein]

LOL...in this case gritty realism FTL...

[Grandmaster TSE]

matthew vaughn wants to direct the rebooted spider-man

pretty good choice if they want grittiness in the movie

[6793026]

i never quit got what reboot was all about, my brother loved it.

[raygunpk]

they need to make civil war. it would confuse the shit outta everyone but hardcore fans but it'd be so cool.

for the reboot, i'm hoping they won't show his origins, or just show a brief few minutes of it. by now, everyone should know how spiderman got his powers.

quick flash backs would be nice, like what they did with the hulk

[Neoxphuse]

The only way that I will watch this, Rachel McAdams as Mary Jane.

[spoon.ek9]

bryce dallas howard who played Gwen Staci should have been Mary Jane all along

http://www.ok.co.uk/celebnews/view/18263/Zac-Efron-to-be-the-next-Spiderman-/

Zac Efron = the New Spiderman..... getting paid $15million+ CAD



HIGH School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron is set for a £9million pay day as he takes on the role of SpiderMan.
Zac Efron will replace Tobey Maguire in the fourth blockbuster movie, due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to hit cinemas in 2012.

Tobey, 34, stunned bosses at Universal Pictures last year when he announced he was quitting the megabucks franchise.

But a studio insider revealed: “After dumping Spidey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role.”

Producers believe the 22-year-old, who has a huge teen following, will bring new fans to the Spider-Man series by playing the reluctant hero and his alter ego Peter Parker.

They are also believed to be considering reuniting Zac with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, 21.

She is hotly tipped to replace Kirsten Dunst, 27, as Spider-Man’s love interest and the source added: “It would be a great coup to land her as well.

“The franchise would be revitalised and transformed by two of Hollywood’s most gifted and fast-rising young stars.”



U know id rather see Shia Labeouf take the role since he's in everything anyway, and he's the same age.... he's already got the curly hair down

im kinda hoping for tobey maguire again

[raygunpk]

zac efron what the fuck
what the fuck
the fuck
fuck

[sexyflanders]

zac efron what the fuck
what the fuck
the fuck
fuck

+1

DO NOT WANT

[Grandmaster TSE]

maguire is too old now to do it
they want to do more of the ultimate series, so they need someone young

i really don't want it to be efron, but i can see that efron will bring girls to watch spiderman, haha

[StylinRed]

But what about Vanessa Hudgens as Mary Jane? oO wtf

unless they have her play someone else which would be fine

[Grandmaster TSE]

But what about Vanessa Hudgens as Mary Jane? oO wtf

have her play gwen stacy and then kill her off

[raygunpk]

i'm a huge spidey fan so i'll watch no matter what. even the abysmal spiderman 3 i saw a few times.

if efron/hudgens do get casted, it will seem like a moneygrab more than anything, which is disappointing.

[twitchyzero]

The only way that I will watch this, Rachel McAdams as Mary Jane.

so obviously zac efron and vanessa hudgens aren't casted

The guy who played the Facebook co-founder is spiderman (Andrew Garfield)


Emma Stone is Gwen Stacy (probably could have been Mary Jane but she isn't in this movie)

Supposedly Phillip Seymour Hoffman is going to be Venom (rumor he's listed on imdb as such)

[woob]

Fuck yeah, Emma Stone! But I really wanted her cast as Mary Jane :/ (see 1st page). Great to see the updated cast list.

The costume actually looks like fabric this time around.
The old costume looked like scales and the CGI was VERY obvious at times. Hope this turns out well!

Could've used a hotter Gwen Stacey though.

[jonwon]

trailer leaked and imo it doesnt look that good. looks like they're trying to follow the batman formula and make it more of a serious movie rather than comic book fun. but the POV scene looked pretty cool though

Hero Worship: Why the Spider-Man Reboot Will be Amazing
Peter Parker goes back to basics.

The word "reboot" is tossed around a lot these days. Usually, the connotation is negative. I admit that I often cringe when I hear something is being rebooted, particularly when the current iteration of the franchise is only a few years old. While reboots used to be primarily limited to franchises that didn't meet financial expectations or were received poorly, we're now hearing rumblings of even the biggest success stories – like Nolan's Batman movies – headed toward a reboot.

As fans of comics, games, movies and television, we've come to accept the process as a part of the life cycle for modern entertainment. Just think of reboots as a creative team change up on your favorite comic book. It's the same story interpreted in a new way. As we move forward into an age where continuity is less acceptable in the bid to gain more viewers (or readers), love it or hate it, this is something we have to learn to live with as fanboys and girls. This is the train of thought that gave birth to my excitement for The Amazing Spider-Man.

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man set the benchmark for superhero adaptations. If Bryan Singer's first X-Men unlocked the door, Spider-Man kicked it right the hell down. Followed up by Spider-Man 2 and the less popular but still financially successful Spider-Man 3, Raimi established the web slinger as a box office sure thing. But the original Spider-Man movie had the benefit of being in that first wave of modern superhero blockbusters, with each sequel built outwards from there. Since then, most of Marvel's movies – whether at Marvel Studios or someplace else – have more or less followed the same template. So here we are. Raimi and his cast are gone and an all-new crew is on board for a complete overhaul. But just as fans were wary of the original Spidey movies when news and photos started pouring in, so too is the case with Amazing Spider-Man. I can't tell you how many times I've seen comments that call out the Spider-Man costume for looking like a basketball.

Fanboys have this amazing ability to never be held accountable for their changing opinions. That's not an accusation; it's happened to me too. We tend to have a gut reaction to any bit of news, positive or negative, only to go back on our words later down the line. We might never speak about it (you know who you are), but we've all retroactively loved or hated things, despite the comments we left on forums forever ago. Such is the case with Raimi and Spider-Man, and I'm willing to bet even Nolan's Batman films will suffer the same fate. So with the memories of Raimi's Spider-Man waning, where does that leave the reboot?

The obvious details are in the back-to-basics approach. In terms of scope, everything is scaled back. To some degree, the mandate of a reboot demands as much. Amazing Spider-Man seems to suggest an origin, one villain, and one love interest. By that logic, we're back to that original Spider-Man template I mentioned earlier. But here's the thing: The Amazing Spider-Man is shaping up to be everything that Raimi's Spider-Man wasn't.

As much as I like Tobey Maguire, his Peter Parker was flat. He was a geek, but not a geek I wanted to root for. I liked him because I knew he was supposed to be Peter Parker, but I never really connected with him. Andrew Garfield (Doctor Who street cred aside) is an actor that I can buy in both roles – as Peter Parker and as Spider-Man – when Maguire never sold me in either.

Garfield, combined with director Marc Webb, screenwriter Steve Kloves (Harry Potter), and the lack of a J. Jonah Jameson character gives the impression that The Amazing Spider-Man will have a renewed focus on two things; high school and humor. Both of these are huge contributions to the success of Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man, which rejuvenated the character in the comics even before the first Spider-Man movie came out. Half of the reason that I found such a disconnect with Raimi's Peter Parker could very well be because of his mere 30 minutes spent in high school before he moved onto living in the big city, rejecting Norman Osborn's money.

More importantly, we've seen Kloves' knack for adapting J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series to the screen with its humor intact amongst the more dramatic story beats. There's no reason to think that the same won't be true for Spider-Man. The other half of why I couldn't connect with Raimi's Parker is that he just wasn't fun. He offered a few lame quips on occasion, but they fell flat. Raimi's films were more focused on the dramatic trifecta of Peter, Harry, and Mary Jane. That's well and good, but it was at the expense of good ol' web slinging fun. Hopefully Kloves, with the addition of Webb in the director's chair and Garfield's natural charm, can offer up the kind of experience that Raimi's movies never could.

We've got to move beyond the notion of a reboot as being a bad thing. Regardless of the generational positives – there are 12 year-old fans that likely didn't see Raimi's Spider-Man in theaters – reboots serve to refocus the passion we have for our favorite characters and properties. Would you rather see a disinterested filmmaker tackle a fourth installment just to make a quick buck, or a whole new group of talented folk who want to make the best movie they can? Reboots are the way of the future, and it's time to get on board.

Oh man that has me so stoked! Except the first-person part. It looks like a goofy 3D thrill ride

[Stormspirit]

looked like first person shooting game like battiefield 2 lols

[RRxtar]

the first person thing would be fuckin sick and such a good idea and nice change but only if it was real not cgi, which would be so hard to do... we've all seen spiderman swingin from webs from buildings, but seeing it from his perspective could really give you a feel for what its like.

i dont know how many times i can keep watching a spiderman1 tho. it has to be the best known superhero story out there.

[seakrait]

I'm hoping for Dr. Connor/The Lizard to be the villain this time. I'm thinking that could be that older dirty blonde-haired guy in the lab coat? Unless I missed someone mentioning who the villain was going to be this time around.

thank god, no more kirsten dunst as mary jane.
