"The Amazing Spiderman" (2012)


Recommended Posts

Yahoo! Movies is reporting this as well. :cry:

LOS ANGELES - Tobey Maguire's web-slinging days are behind him.

The 34-year-old actor and "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi will not be returning to the superhero franchise next year. Instead, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios announced Monday that a new "Spider-Man" film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on Peter Parker in high school would debut in the summer of 2012 with a new cast and filmmaking team.

"I am so proud of what we accomplished with the 'Spider-Man' franchise over the last decade," Maguire said in a statement Monday. "Beyond the films themselves, I have formed some deep and lasting friendships. I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story."

The announcement of a reboot comes after reports that "Spider-Man 4" production stalled amid script revisions. The original "Spider-Man 4" release date seemed unlikely last week when Paramount Pictures announced that "Thor," another big-screen Marvel superhero adaptation, had hammered out the same May 6, 2011, release date as the fourth Spidey installment.

"Working on the 'Spider-Man' movies was the experience of a lifetime for me," Raimi, who directed all three "Spider-Man" films, also said in a statement Monday. "While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job."

Maguire said in an interview last week that there was "great stuff in terms of story and script" for the fourth chapter and the plan was to still release the film in 2011. He also said he had specific ideas about the evolution of the character on the big screen.

"Thor" experienced its own upheaval over the weekend. Stuart Townsend departed the adaptation because of creative differences, according to two AP sources close to the production. Townsend, who had been cast as an ally of the Norse god, was replaced by Joshua Dallas.

The three "Spider-Man" films continually snared moviegoers, earning over $1.1 billion combined. After glowing reaction to the first two films, critical response to "Spider-Man 3" was so-so. Raimi said he was undecided about returning to the franchise after the third movie but later said he didn't like thinking about somebody else making the Peter Parker story.

Sony said it would have more news about the next "Spider-Man" movie in coming weeks.

Spiderman 4 got scrapped within a week! Death to whoever's smart idea this was...:crazy:

Anne Hathaway was in "talks" to be Hardy and.. the "Vultures". They said that they dumped her because she was "too expensive". Thank god. Well I guess it doesn't matter now.

I hope all of this is a rumor. I hope...

Maybe 2012 really is the end of the world? :p seems far to early for a reboot but still, seems to be flavor of the month at the moment :/

What other reboots have there been? Other than Karate Kid...which we have known about for a while now that it was going to happen.

Predator sort of, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Crow, Conan, The Fly, Fantastic Four

Who is that?

My vote goes to Summer Glau!

Isla Fisher, see her "Youthful portrayal" in Wedding Crashers.

The fact she's also a natural redhead really would help.

Glau for sho (Y)

You're just a Glau fanboy.. :p

I think they need to stay away from actress' who aren't redheads it really destroyed Kirstin Dunst's looks.

Hathaway CAN act, I just don't see her as Hardy.

Well Tobey wasn't the best peter parker. But i've got a funny feeling they're going to go downhill with it, think spiderman 3-d they put on MTV was it? Or that other cartoonish ugly ass version on cartoonetwork :x Just the words "high shool years" I can see it already

Spiderman 4: The Twilight

Spiderman 4: No moon

Spiderman 4: Eclipse of the spider

Spiderman 4: Breaking Venom

Anyway you get the point...

Xero was mentioning on msn earlier to me what about the Venom film they had planned?, is that now ****ed?

I was just about to post that and ask about that. :p I hope that Tobey is kept for the Venon films...if they continue with it.

Also, why not Summer?! Who cares jow M-J looked like in the comics! We need a change and Summer is there for us! :D

Yeah or at least make it with the new story in tow so we can have Carnage for the first spidey reboot :p

The next Spiderman Movie in going to be an epic failure. Who the hell is gonna want to see a drama about Peter Parker in school? Come on Sony.

Let's not forget that Marvel plays a part in this also. It's not all Sony.

Actually this fits perfectly in Disney's plan. They bought Marvel, so make Spiderman a teen hero played by their very own Zac Efron...with Miley Cyrus and her wigs as M-J, and the Jonas brothers as the bad guys! One for every movie.

Does anyone not feel that if they did, say an Avengers move, in the same style of the Final Fantasy CGI movie they could make a TON of money? I would think making animation would also make it a lot cooler for comic fans since you can have a better visual of their special powers.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
