Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

So latest word is that Raimi has quit directorial duties on Spiderman 4 since he could not film a movie in the time that Sony wanted so now Maguire and the cast is out, and Sony will focus on a reboot in 2012.

Sweet.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Here's some details on what Spiderman 4 would have been and what let's call it the Amazing SPiderman will be.

I don't know if ever posted news on the Vulturess on the forum, but I thought that was a terrible idea when it was leaked a couple of months ago. I never get the need to create characters (Especially major ones) in a series that has so many villains, secondary characters to pull from.

The baby didn't help Superman Returns and it wouldn't have helped this movie.

No one is going to say the movie they are currently filming is much worse than the one they canned so that's just dumb.

And I REALLY REALLY hope people get the essence of Spider-man this is like the 3rd reference I've seen to it being darker, and I just don't like it. Spiderman isn't dark, hell the guy wears red and blue, don't turn him into Batman because it did so well.


Also on a slightly related note, some of you may have known that James Cameron originally had a treatment for Spiderman way back in the early 90s before the series got tangled in legal mess, I'm not sure what ever happened to it, but I know that some of it was absolved into the Raimi films such as organic webbing.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Darker? No fluff? Spider-man is basically a young Woody Allen with spider powers.

I don't get it. Every time a studio executive makes changes the movie suffers. They never learn.

Gamespot says that this frees up the director for Warcraft movie.

I heard the script Cameron had for Spider-man was ridiculous. Though he had wanted Arnold to play Doc Ock

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Ehm, is that a good thing?

They're using real actors instead of going CGI. :(

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

That's the best thing I've heard in a while. Though I am very anti-CGI in general.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Actually, I'd prefer CGI as well. If they made it anything like the intro videos for the Warcraft games..ohhhh..

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Well, I guess i should clarify. I'm in favor of "tasteful" CGI. I guess the technology is getting better, so this should be easier to do, but so many times CGI is overused when a puppet or something could have been more interesting.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

So apparently Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen from Twilight) is our new Spiderman.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

So spidey is going to sparkle in the sun?

EDIT: Wait, wait, wait. look at the date. Are you telling me you fell for an almost year old April Fools joke?

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

That is an old article, but that rumor still holds true apparently.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Yeah that's because a lot of media outlets were playing off that article.

Lol.

Fuck though, if any one of those twilight pussies makes it into spiderman I wont go see it.

I'm hoping for an entirely new cast, hoping some young actor starts his career off this movie or something. Maybe a new actress for Mary Jane. Hopefully later on, some nice beefy dude to play venom, you know someone who isn't fucking topher grace? Amirite?

So seems like the top two choices so far are Pattinson or Efron, and both would be terrible choices IMO.

So it seems like sony is willing to take a gamble and get the female population to see their movie, but at the same time alienate the huge male audience that saw the first three movies.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

I agree with you Moogle, If anybody from Twilight is in it, they've lost me. I've started hating Muse ever since I heard they were on the Twilight soundtrack.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

More news on this. http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment...r_of_spid.html

Maybe we'll get Joseph Gordon Levitt as Spider-Man instead. That may be good.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit

Peter Parker/Spider-man has been cast.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Looks more like he should be recast for the part of Sylar.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Twilight haircut.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

And now Emma Stone has been cast as Gwen Stacey

http://www.deadline.com/2010/10/emma...t-with-switch/

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Weird, I had heard rumors of Emma Stone, but I just assumed because she's a redhead that she'd play MJ. Oh well, I think she's a babe, I'll watch her do whatever.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

In other news: Bourne 4 (Legacy) is happening, but probably without Matt Damon.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

She would had made a perfect MJ. Though If they're going the Ultimate Spidey route she does fit Gwen nicely (and if they follow that exactly we'll get to see her go goth :drool: ). But if they do do that, the guy playing Spidey looks way too old.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

After seeing the social network, I think he's a great cast for spidey.

And now a foe has been cast

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Word on the street is, he'll be playing the role of the Lizard, which shall be most awesome.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

I was hoping he'd be The Shocker. Lolz

When is the Rhino going to get his day? :(

First pictures of the costume

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Oy.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

The movie is now known as The Amazing Spider-man

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Oh so this one is more amazing than Tobey Maguire?

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Judging by the picture they made it so Peter doesn't naturally produce the web? Like the first films did.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Yeah, he has web shooters in this movie opposed to the organic webbing from the original trilogy.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Agree or disagree -- A movie franchise can not be successfully rebooted within a decade of its last reboot if that one was very popular.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

I will disagree to an extent since Spiderman 3 wasn't well received, do I think it needed a reboot, not exactly, but better than it heading into Batman and Robin territory.

I was gonna use Batman and Robin/Begins as an example, but everyone hated Batman and Robin.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

Whatever I'm super pumped. I don't know if you guys remember clearly or not, but Spiderman 1 wasn't that great either. I think the reason people liked it was because it was the first decently done super hero movie. Even though it still wasn't that great. Spidey 2 was tight, but that was it.

Re: Holy Cows Spiderman 4 Canned, Raimi/Maguire Quit
 

I might actually like SP1 more than 2. Even after having recently seen them again.

3 I haven't seen since I did in the cinema. The only scene worth remembering was the one in the beginning where he's fighting the Green Goblin and they're basically both flying in narrow alleys.
