"The Amazing Spiderman" (2012)

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

Nah, they simply changed actors. That's not the same as starting over as they did with Casino Royale

[Xero]

^ 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.

Is this a good thing?

500 Days of Summer is amazing (it's in IMDB's top 250 of all time!)

but the stories are miles apart so who knows

[Growled Member]

It may not be a wonderful thing but at least Marc Webb is a decent director.

[Ayepecks]

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.

Oh Hell No! I don't want any Piece of Crap Twilight actor or Disney actors (Zac Efron) in this movie. We don't need them acting bad in more movies!

[Rappy Veteran]

lolz a sparkly spiderman :p

[TaiCrunch]

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!

[TaiCrunch]

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

[Growled Member]

Robert Pattinson would be a terrible choice. The dude can't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

[TaiCrunch]

He doesn't have to, he's hot! The role of Spiderman has no emotional character development whatsoever, and therefore requires no acting skill.

[Mathachew Veteran]

He doesn't have the look. Keep him far, far away!

[Rappy Veteran]

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!

[Ayepecks]

I'm pretty sure the Robert Pattinson thing is bullcrap.

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."

[Xero]

or better. Hire JJ to direct :)

Now that would work. :)

[TaiCrunch]

Oh wow, Zachary Quinto would be perfect as nearly any Spiderman villan. He's got that crazy serial killer thing down.
