"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."

    • Lego Batman 2026 hahahaha. You thought I couldn't reply back???
    • The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
