Spiderman gets a remake.

[Rizzo]

So, apparently they're rebooting Spiderman.
So Spiderman 4 is scrapped, and this means no Sam Rami or Tobey. But will this mean that it will take place in the same universe as Iron man and Hulk? That whould be kinda cool. But I doubt it. It is kinda silly to reboot Spiderman though. Sure Spiderman 3 was terrible, but come on, it came out 2007. I think it's a bit early to just do a remake.

 

[Barnz]

It will suck like the third one. I don't blame Sam Raimi, but Sony's deathlines. There's also Robocop remake currently in production (again, it's by Sony - what a surprise).

 

[Lucid]

Jesus ****ing Christ, enough with Spiderman already!

 

[15357]

Can't they make more sci-fi movies? Or if they're sticking to remakes, remake Aliens. That kicked ass.

The Hulk movies were only a few years apart.

DON'T JINX IT!

I can't believe they are already rebooting this franchise XD

I imagine spider-man 3's reception had at least something to do with it as well.

 

[Yorick]

I believe there was also disagreement about the fourth movie. Raimi wanted to do Vulture with John Malcovich. I think Sony wanted to do The Lizard.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Both of those ideas ain't great tbh :|

Me want carnage just don't **** him up like venom

 

[Barnz]

They couldn't make a movie about The Lizard. He's an old guy in with a regular life in the films, there's no way they can make a lizard man out of him. From what I heard, reboot is going to be similar to new cartoon series (which sucks compared to 90s series).

I never liked movies tbh, I thought they were okay. Peter was supposed to be nerdy, science guy (see 60s series), but also have a good humour. He's emo/emotionless in the movies. I know he's supposed to be a regular guy, but you can't make a movie about Spiderman without his root personality/origins.

Organic web was James Cameron's idea. It's a good idea on paper, but I wanted Peter make and use a web shooter. Mary Jane is also annoying as hell.

Yes, please, let's have Carnage in a movie. Let's have Carnage running around killing everybody like the deranged psychopath he is. That'd be great. Let's have those scenes where he tortures a puppy, pushes a girl in front of a bus, and burns down an orphanage. That sounds awesome.

Let's make him completely unstoppable, tearing up the town and killing everyone in his path. I think we can find some way to get that rated PG-13. We'll just cut away every time he turns his hands into giant fucking axes and slices people up.

Then we can have those reject actors from the Fantastic Four franchise show up at the last minute to drop off the sonic amplification gun which is the only goddamned thing that stops Carnage, except maybe the Sentry carrying him off and throwing him into outer-goddamned-space, and that'll be the end of the movie. Then Spider-Man will swing off and hang off the post of an American flag, and Venom will eat a chocolate bar.

Alright, gentlemen, I think this is the perfect way to reboot the franchise!

Barnz, my friend, your nostalgia goggles are on too tight. 90s series was garbage, bro. Remember Venom driving the truck? Remember Spider-Man Unlimited? Spectacular Spider-Man is actually better.

I'm afraid this is true.

Why not? Even if they didn't want to change the actor, turning into the Lizard means, you know, becoming a ****ing monster. It wouldn't matter that the human in his 40's. The entire purpose of Connors project is to regrow limbs and make the body work in a way that it can recreate and mend damaged cells. That in itself is enough of a justification to have him agile and powerful as a lizard.

 

[Asknoone]

Raimi's films sucked (except for maybe Octopus' outing), so this isn't exactly the worst of news. Reboots aren't really the big deal most people make them out to be and Spider-man is the kind of franchise that, given the right minds, benefits from frequent interpretation. That said, it's undoubtedly going to suck and I'd have liked to have seen Malkovich's Vulture. Now, because the studio won't be green-lighting villains they don't think will sell tickets we have very little chance of seeing such seminal villains make the big screen.

We're going to get rubbish like Venom. Venom and Carnage. Wow. Boring.

Barnz, my friend, your nostalgia goggles are on too tight. 90s series was garbage, bro. Remember Venom driving the truck? Remember Spider-Man Unlimited? Spectacular Spider-Man is actually better.

The man is right. 90's is pretty dreadful. Spectacular is superior in a lot of ways (whilst also being a great show).

 

[Rizzo]

I just think that soon they will start rebooting everything. It's like it becomes an excuse to make a bad movie. "Meh, we can always reboot." Just make it right the first time.

A man can dream damn it!!

 

[The Monkey]

What the ****? Isn't a little too soon for a remake? Why not spend the money on something original instead?

That was, what, a gallon or more of web juice that came from his forearm to hit the building across the yard? :x I watched the rest of that movie, but haven't seen any of the sequels. In the original stories, I recall him using his nerd powers to make his own webbing system to complement his new abilities as part of the definition of his character.

 

[Viperidae]

Organic webs ruined it.

All I remember was 'Peter, what are you doing in there.'

'Nothing Aunt May.'

'You're acting rather strangely.'

'OK.'

Pan to: room covered in semen.

 

[Barnz]

Spectacular Spider-Man is actually better.

wow stop right there, do you really say spectacular is better than previous series? don't get me wrong, 90s series was okay. it was low budget, there was no violence (because of some censor bullshit), repeative/reused scenes, it doesn't even have glen (it's actually a good thing), but it's better than spectacular.

spectacular is ****ed up from the beginning. now don't get me wrong, I like the new style, but how the **** spiderman can beat the most dangerous villain in minutes? let's see:

spiderman from 90s' running time: 30 mins
spectacular's running time: 20 mins! 5 mins emo peter, 5-10 mins peter's sex life/education/daily bugle - see, there's little left for fights/action scenes. I don't like high-school theme either. not to mention how it uses story elements from dumb film series.

60s series (also low budget) is also better, there isn't much action/or background information about spidey, but it's fun to watch. peter is a scientist - sometimes he acts like a detective.

:monkee:

Hollywood studios

Haha.

5 mins emo peter, 5-10 mins peter's sex life/education/daily bugle - see, there's little left for fights/action scenes. I don't like high-school theme either.

But what you're describing is Spider-Man. The premise of Spider-Man isn't just "Guy gets bitten by radioactive spider, goes out and fights crime." The premise of Spider-Man is more like, "Fifteen-year-old kid with a fifteen-year-old's problems gets super powers by accident, now has to balance high school life while stopping badguys."

It's what makes people empathize with Spider-Man, he's got a lot of everyday problems. Other heroes generally don't have to deal with the things Spider-Man has to deal with on a regular basis; that's why you see a lot of that in the show. It's true to the character. It's like...the X-men, they're almost always in suits fighting evil mutants. Before he "died" it was Captain America's regular job to fight villains. The Fantastic Four are always handling some cosmic-level threat or another. These guys are full-time heroes. But Peter Parker? Peter Parker's gotta go to school, try to get a date, cook pancakes for his aunt, buy a thermal bodysuit because it's too cold to wear his suit in the winter, take photos for his part-time job, and on top of all of that he's got all these whackjobs coming out of nowhere causing problems.

All that stuff that you don't like is what Spider-Man is about. It's the heart of Spider-Man: "This are the things this kid has to deal with. Everyday stuff. But then villains attack him and he has to stop them on top of everything else."

 

[Wanted Bob]

Ha, I used to watch the old 60s Spiderman every morning. Was good times.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

I liked Tobey. Reboot FT-****ing-L

I know what Spiderman is, shut up. You're one annoying ass, but whatever.

I think you're bit confused about Spiderman's background. He's supposed to use his head, not his fists. Remember when he finds how to beat Venom in Spiderman 90s: sonic waves. In the new show, he randomly manages to leave Venom, that's retarded. Where's the genius Peter? He's simply a regular character without his true origins. Even the 60s show him as a talented science guy.

 

[Harryz]

(500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb is in talks to direct. Very weird choice, especially since they would give him a franchise like Spiderman with no previous experience in the film industry. Joseph Gordon-Lewitt = Spiderman/Parker?

Also Finchers name has been thrown in the mix and Wes Anderson..?

[Darkside55]

Spider-Man doesn't use his head all the time, bro. He ain't as smart as you think.

Peter's still shown to be a smart guy in Spectacular. He did have that internship at Connors' lab.

As for the Venom thing, it was probably to show that he could reject the suit without having to use the sonic gun--he could beat the suit just by his convictions. They've told the Venom story so many times in so many different universes; he doesn't always need to stop him with the same thing every time.

I seriously don't know how you can hate on a show that goes back to old Stan Lee and Steve Ditko stories, but you like a show that had Morbius running around screaming "PLASMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" and featured Smythe and Kingpin's crazy-shenanigans-of-the-week.

 

[Eejit]

Joseph Gordon-Lewitt = Spiderman/Parker?

I'd... actually quite like that.

 

[Barnz]

??!???

"use his head", fool - can't you figure that out really

Peter's still shown to be a smart guy in Spectacular. He did have that internship at Connors' lab.

I bet you like Smallville too.
