Spiderman Is Getting A Reboot 2012

[filmation batman fan]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this but...

There is one thing or should I say one person in the Raimi cast I will miss the most.


J. K . S I M M O N S A S J J O N A H J A M E S O N ! !

NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY WILL EVER BE ABLE TO PLAY THAT ROLE NEARLY AS GOOD AS HIM!!

I am not a hardcore SpiderMan fan, nor do I like J. Jonah Jameson normally, but this jerk of an editor had me in stitches with "Christmas Meat" and "What are you waiting for Chinese New Year?!"

For what it's worth, I did enjoy the Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire films, but I feel it's a little too soon for a reboot and was actually looking forward to at least one more with the original cast and crew. I was hoping to see if Peter and M.J. would have gotten back together again. Oh well.

I'm sure it will be interesting, but I will still miss Simmon's version of J.J.

Read in today's paper they plan on going grim and gritty with this. It's going to fail. As much as we gripe about Raimi and Co.,at least we didn't have to worry Spider-Man turning into Batman.

Latest rumor is Robert Pattinson as the new Peter Parker....FAIL

And Mary Jane will be all emo and self-involved and all the guys will be madly in love with her and unable to control their desire for her and...and oh wait, they already did that.

I blame Twilight.

Tobey was better than I thought he would be as Peter Parker/Spiderman.

Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane was just plain awful. I liked the spiderman movies but cringed during every MJ scene. She just didn't work!

I think she worked pretty well in the first one. They made her appear more like the character through make-up and costuming, but in the subsequent movies, they just seemed to barely dye here hair strawberry blonde, and she seemed to just wander through the films. Her apathy was rather apparent.

we are missing a golden oportunity for Bill Campbell to reveal himself as Mysterio and therby indicating why he was in each film to me Mysterio could have been a great villian for the final Raimi film

Looks like Hector may be on the right track with his Levitt as Spidey prediction. I just got this through the Sony Spidey network (I forgot I was still signed up for that!)

A NEW WEBB FOR SPIDER-MAN™
Marc Webb Chosen To Direct Next Chapter of the Acclaimed Series
-Spider-Man to Climb into Theaters in Summer, 2012 -


CULVER CITY, Calif., January 19, 2010 – Marc Webb, the director of the Golden Globe nominated Best Picture (500) Days of Summer, will direct the next chapter in the Spider-Man franchise, set to hit theaters summer 2012, it was jointly announced today by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios.
Written by James Vanderbilt, Webb will work closely with producers Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin in developing the project, which will begin production later this year.
Commenting on the announcement, Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said, "At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker's life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter's shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man's adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey."
Arad and Ziskin added jointly, "Over the years, the Spider-Man comics have been told with bold and creative new writers and artists who have re-calibrated the way audiences see Peter Parker. Marc Webb will do for the new direction of the films what so many visionary storytellers have done with the comic books. He is an incredibly talented filmmaker and we look forward to working closely with him on this new adventure."
Webb said, "This is a dream come true and I couldn't be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to 'take over' from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man."
Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, added, "I'm excited that Sony has chosen a director with a real penchant and understanding for the character. This is a brave, bold direction for the franchise, and I can't wait to see what Marc comes up with next."
Added Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, "The idea of re-imagining the on-screen story for one of the world's most iconic superheros is sure to deliver an exciting new dimension to Spider-Man fans everywhere. There are volumes of comics and material available to inspire fresh and compelling takes on Peter Parker and his journey as Spidey and we look forward to seeing this come alive onscreen."
MARC WEBB has won acclaim with his film debut (500) Days of Summer. He has several MTV VMAs™ including 2009's Best Director award for Green Day's "21 Guns," 2006 Best Rock Video for AFI's "Miss Murder," and Best Group Video for The All-American Rejects' "Move Along." The Music Video Production Association honored him in 2006 as the Director of the Year for his work with Weezer, AAR, and My Chemical Romance.
In addition to two Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture (musical or comedy), his first feature film, (500) Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, has been nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Feature. Webb was also awarded the Spotlight Award, which honors outstanding directorial debuts, by the National Board of Review

More Spider-Man Reboot Details?
Source:Risky Business January 20, 2010


Yesterday, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios confirmed that (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb is going to direct the Spider-Man reboot. In reporting on the news, the Risky Business blog has some possible more details on the project:

Webb, who has options on two sequels, will now tackle a Jamie Vanderbilt script that sees a “Spider-Man” movie that will look and feel very different from the big movies that went before it.

The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.

The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.

Please keep in mind that none of this is confirmed and we may not know for sure until closer to release. Stay tuned for more announcements as they come in...
