"The Amazing Spiderman" (2012)


Recommended Posts

Err, no? It doesn't matter if its the greatest movie in the world, you can't just reboot a series every time you get stuck or the original cast doesn't want to do it anymore. If you encourage this kind of crap the studios will just remake the same shows every 10 years.

Movies are supposed to be about telling amazing stories, not money.

hasn't James Bond been doing this for years?

Wow, I don't even know where to begin.

Movies have ALWAYS been about money. At least movies in the form that we know them. If you think otherwise, then I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Studios want their movies to make them money, just like car companies want their cars to make them money. I really hate to break this to you, but it's a business. While a movie will tell a story, and a car will get you from place to place, the businesses behind each want to make money off them.

Why should companies not be allowed to reboot a series or get new talent? Simply because you, Pc_Madness, a member of the Neowin community, says so?

But, I have to commend you on your thought-provoking rebuttal.

'Give it a chance.'

'No.'

:rofl:

That kind of logic has no place here. Get out. :p

^ Maybe not starting over, but each movie is a 'reboot' in a sense. Very rarely do the stories spill over between films. However I will agree Casino Royale was the first real 'reboot' of the franchise as it went right back to the beginning with different roles for the characters. Judi Dench for example is very different than in the others. I don't think Sony is bad for wanting to do this, while it may seem soon it'd be stupid to let the same director make another. He's made 3, progressively worse (imo) if they script was bad they were smart to pull the plug. Hopefully the new one won't be worse.

I thought (500) Days of Summer was AMAZING and original. I honestly have no clue how he would be at directing a movie like this, but Summer convinces me that he's at least worth a shot. Would be nice if James Cameron were still interested, too.

Found this, thought it was pretty funny.

Of course, I'm assuming (praying, even) this is some sick joke.

RUMORS ARE doing the rounds that ?Twilight? star Robert Pattinson may soon be on the schedule for the upcoming Spiderman movie sequel.

The 23 year old British heartthrob, who bagged a spot on the Sexiest Man Alive list by People magazine in 2008 and again in 2009, may play the role of Peter Parker and his superhero alter ego Spiderman in the upcoming fourth installment of the popular movie franchise.

The speculations stem from the recent announcement about Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi walking out of the project after doing all the three sequels of Spiderman movies. The move happened reportedly because of certain script problems, as the director did not find the script agreeable.

Although Columbia Pictures, the producers of the film, are yet to finalize the starcast and rope in a new director, Robert Pattinson seems to be the most preferred choice after his feat as a vampire in the ?Twilight? sequels garnered him much acclaim.

Spiderman 4, which is slated for a 2012 release, will chronicle the life of the webslinging superhero during his high school years.

Well think about it. If Rob Pattinson is Peter Parker, Kirsten Stewart would make an ideal Mary Jane, seeing the incredible chemistry they have together. :rolleyes:

as much as I love kstew I don't want to see her biting her bottom lip everytime Peter whips out the camera!

Nah man, that's just her one facial expression. And she's such a great actress.

yeah before Twilight she didn't bite the lip, watch Speak and she doesn't do it once! but yeah she needs to stay away from the franchise!

J.J. Abrams reacts to 'Spider-Man' reboot

J.J. Abrams has commented on Sony's plans to reboot the Spider-Man film franchise.

Speaking to MTV, the Star Trek director joked about his reaction to the news of a new Spider-Man film.

"I think, as the director of Mission Impossible 3 and Star Trek 15 or whatever it is, I'm probably the last one to speak badly about a reboot of anything. So... 'Yay! Reboots!'" Abrams said.

When asked for advice on how the studio should approach the reboot, the 43-year old jested: "Definitely cast [star Trek stars] Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto."

    • Calling it TDS doesn’t answer the question: why did this site skip prior UFC games but review this one, at this exact political moment?
    • Its the timing of its release, mixed with the timing of the review mixed with the timing of the event, when this site never reviewed previous iterations of this game that I could find.
    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.
