Cast SPIDERMAN(Open Minded People Only Please)

[The Bat]

Rather than scream that the New Spiderman reboot will suck...without even have seen it...I prefer to be optimistic.
so in that spirit...let's try and cast the Teenage Peter Parker. My pick is Thomas Dekker from "Terminator:The Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Hmmmm....

I'd prefer an unknown; that way there isn't all the baggage you get with a big name. ("Hey! Howcome Spidey's sparkling?")

Someone suggested Joseph Gordon Levitt. One of the best young actors around today. Go watch Brick.

I think it's time to make Spidrman a black guy. Theres no reason not to. If they want to modernize it so be it. Besides he's all covered. Theres a reason Spiderman is so huge across the different communities and countries. Like Snake Eyes he could be YOU!

Also I feel EXTREMELY strongly that I would like to see a Jackie Chan typein the Spiderman suit doing a thing we used to call "STUNTS"

Jackie Chan is much better than watching a computer game. I always got bored watching someone else play while I just sat there.

Casting aside. If its another video game movie I wont go. And after Avatar you know it will be but . . hey open minded maybe it could happen maybe we could have a live action film !!

I still get more of a thrill watching Nicolas Hammond or his stunt double scaling up a HUGE skyscraper !

As for being optimistic from what I hear the movie will be almost 100% aimed at the teen girl demographic to score money.

Okay open minded. . . I dont care who they have play Parker because I want to see lots of live action superhero adventuring with stunt men and no love story.

I miss teh days when superhero movies were true B Flicks. That way content didnt get sacrificed over demographics.

Guilty as charged...

He is absolutely my first choice...no doubt.

That kid from the Sarah Chronicles in not exactly a household name.

Yeah, I just read post #7 (the Obama part)...oh brother...

The thread stated we should keep an open mind right? So why not?

If we do play the game that there can be "colourblind" multi-ethnic casting, then I would imagine Tyler James Williams of Everybody Hates Chris is about the right age now to pull off Peter Parker. If we stick Ray Park in the suit for all the action stuff, that pretty much covers it in the fantasy casting.


Alternatively, have you guys seen Ong Bak 1 or 2? Tony Jaa can MOVE! Stick him in the costume for the action scenes.

BTW...as a minority myself...I do NOT want Parker to be black.

Why???

PC gone absolutely mad...I tell ya.

Why not make Peter Parker an autistic one-eyed transsexual while we are at it...

[Hector]

There's plenty of black superheroes out there, Power Man, Black Panther, Blade, etc...

Let Spike Lee make one.

That's the kind of open-mindedness this thread needs!

So which autistic one-eyed transsexual do you want to cast?

I bet Joseph Gordon Levitt would be able to pull it off! That's how he played Doctor Mindbender/Cobra Commander wasn't it?

Gordon-Levitt was the ONLY thing I liked about G.I. Blow...the dude is an awesome actor...he's great in everything...Brick, The Lookout, 500 Days of Summer, etc.

He's right for Peter Parker...he's slight of built yet athletic, he can pull off the geek factor but be tough at the same time (see Brick)...what can I say...I'm a big fan.

The only thing is that he's also being talked about as the Joker as well.

I don't want him to play both roles...he's either the Joker or Spidey...not both.

Well said Hector! Obviously much better than I said it...or my post wouldn't have been removed.

There's no need to delete this thread...it's pretty good...let's just not mention political figures...it always leads to trouble...God knows I've open cans of worms myself over the years...you are not the only one...
