Marc Webb (Hahahahaha....punny) has been set to direct the spidey reboot.

Webb previously directed music videos, including Green Day's "21 Guns" and The All-American Rejects' "Move Along."

Yeah, that Golden Globe nominated film ain't nothin' compared to the music videos.

I loved 500 Days of Summer, and this already makes the new Spidey flick seem to be moving in a more positive direction.

I haven't had a chance to see "500 Days of Summer" yet, but everything I've heard about it is very positive.

I'm actually pretty excited about the reboot. I enjoyed the Raimi movies (well, mostly the first two), but a starting-from-scratch take on the series following Peter as a high-school student, inspired by the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics and the "Spectacular Spider-Man" animated series, could be really excellent.

The only major problem I have with this is that they'll likely recast J. Jonah Jameson, when nobody will be able to do it as well as J.K. Simmons.

Simmons was born to play JJ
I might be a bad person, but every time I saw Gwen in spider-man 3 I thought "shouldn't you be dead" It was just weird introducing her after gobby's death, thought he really didn't die in the comics

[I might be a bad person, but every time I saw Gwen in spider-man 3 I thought "shouldn't you be dead" It was just weird introducing her after gobby's death, thought he really didn't die in the comics

Depending on which continuity you follow, he's certaingly dead now (A good few count the Spider-Girl timeline as the only "definitive" one now), plus his ghost got it's ass kicked into oblivion by Aunt May's spirit for good measure (Tom DeFalco on drugs=Win)

The original story shouldnt be followed, as Spidey grows far more with everyone intact Archie-style.

I prefer the USM story more, at least as far as a new direction for the movies go, where Gwen hangs around (though the way Peter gets with her is a little...ackward, because they like each other in a sibling way), and everyone piles up on each other.

Hell I'd never kill off Uncle Ben

Personally I think it's great news to see a reboot in the works. I'm a huge Spidey fan & would love to see a new vision brought to the screen, & I seriously hope they do an excellent job. Raimi & Maquire's Spidey was good but personally I wouldn't mind seeing another take on the mythology.

It feels too soon to me to reboot a movie franchise that's only 10 years old. It just feels wrong. A forth movie in a big budget series is pushing it, unless you're George Lucas and have unlimited money and power. The energy wears down and the narrative becomes too burdened to tell a clear story by that point. But it feels like they should at least honor the first three and give them some time to die away in the minds of the public first before they jump right into a new series.

A reboot? That is a tad.... soon? I wouldn't mind to see a new view point especially after the last two Spidermans (The first one was mediocre, not bad.)

And gosh I hated Peter Parker in the last few movies I could rant many a page about that boy in those movies. Mother functional, he made me mad.

How many years were there between Ang Lee's Hulk and the Hulk reboot?

I'm just saying...

Ang's Hulk was released in 2003. The reboot came 5 years later in 2008.
Spidey 3 was released in 2007. Tack on 5 years and you get...2012.

You make a good point Jester but Hulk was a complete failure. It made barely enough profit to cover it's cost to make. They couldn't do a sequel so they just waited 5 years for the movie to be forgotten about and then tried again. The new movie didn't do that well either.

With Spider-man it's funny to see a re-boot like this as the film series has been a constant financial success. Spider-man 3 is 15th highest grossing film of all time and 1 and 2 are right behind it in the 22nd and 29th spots. 1 and 3 are just shy of a billion a pop. The films are raking in 8 times what they cost to make in some cases.

The only reason they kicked Rami off the project and went for a reboot is they want some new director that hasn't done a lot that they can push around. Enter independent music video/one film under his belt guy who the big wigs can tell what to do. They get that independent style they want but they can control how far it goes. Someone like Rami wants too much control over artistic vision and will argue with them on things like what characters will be in the film and how stuff is to be treated. Some new guy will be so excited to finally be doing a big budget Hollywood film he'll shut up and do what he's told.

I re-watched all three Spider-Man films a couple of months ago and I thought all of them were pretty entertaining (albeit in a trashy way). It's funny how everyone seems to hate them now because I can clearly remember a time when pretty much everyone seemed to be jizzing their pants about how "deep" Spider-Man 2 was. It wasn't.

I liked the first one; two was alright; the third was pretty underwhelming. I'm not sure why the first one gets hated on so much, but it wasn't perfect by any stretch.

Still feels too soon for a reboot, though. I'll end up seeing it when it comes out, regardless.

That still seems to be the general consensus; this is the only place where I've ever seen anyone speak ill about it.

Personally I think all three movies are trash, though I can at least somewhat understand why some people might enjoy the first two. The third, however, is a piece of sh*t by any objective standard.

I'm starting to doubt the validity of the statements too. One says that an anonymous source says that he was cast, and if that's true then he was just cast yesterday and the person blabbed before it was announced. They say their source is guardian.co.uk, but I didn't find anything. I do know that they are casting The Hobbit as we speak. So it isn't out of the question that he's been offered the role. Whether or not that's good is up for debate.

I think the reboot will work.

I enjoyed the Incredible Hulk far more than Ang Lee's Hulk.

And everyone knows how I felt about Tobey McGuire and the 3 Spidey flicks. Anything else they give us that doesn't have that douchebag or Raimi involved would be prime.

Anything is better then the apple-headed-no-facial-expression-not-funny-uninteresting Spider-Man that we got with mcGuire.

Plus, Ultimate Spider-Man was awesome.

When did I say this? I love how you take things out of my mouth that I didn't say. I find Disney a great company, the company is working well and is bringing in money. Their ideas have brought in a large audience, they are over all a very prosperous company that I can actually still enjoy what they put out in theaters.

And I love that they took in Marvel, Spider man will probably will be 5 times better because of them. They concentrate on ideas that actually bring in the bacon.

If it helps, Zac Efron also played a young Simon Tam in an episode of Firefly. That and Hairspray are all I've seen him in. I'll give it to him. He can act, but I want the writers to get the Parker/Spidey character written right. Zac can pull it off if they write the character correctly. Zac playing a Spectacular Spider-man (TV ShowS) version, I'd be fine with that. My 2 cents.

The only things I've seen him in are The Other Boleyn Girl (where he played Francis Weston who was beheaded for having fun with Ann...) and Doctor Who (he was Frank in Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks). He was good in those....haven't seen Dr. Parnassus (which is what he's known for...I guess).

I think he'll do great. Must be weird to be told that he got the part, 30 minutes before it's announced.

Off-Topic: Anybody notice that in featurettes and stuff, Avi Arad always says "From the get go..."?

Well as of June 30th, it was supposed to be the kid from Zathura and Bridge to Terabithia.

Yeah, but I heard his manager got greedy and kept asking for more money, so they chose Garfield.

He's supposed to be 15. A kid.

Sidenote....

McGuire was 27 when the 1st movie came out. This movie is about Peter in highschool, around the age of 15...This cat will be 29 when its made.

Strange.

New guy looks decent though, he's smiling, which is more emoting than McGuire ever did.

I know he's supposed to be 15, that's why I was afraid the new guy would of looked too kiddish to even have a good Spider-Man. Lets just say I feared someone like Frankie Muniz getting the part :lol:.

I was never a big fan of the Ultimate approach.

Apperantly due to Andrew Garfield's age they're thinking of making Peter a college student instead of high school.

Why is that something to be excited about?

The college setting is dumb. Peter was in college for most of Raimi's movies.

If they wanted something different, college is a stupid ****ing direction to go in. You know, since its not ****ing different.

I don't know. I just never fully liked the idea of a kid Spider-Man fighting all these super villains like way ahead of his time. I was never a huge fan of Ultimate Spider-Man, and that was one of the reasons I liked the 90s cartoon incarnation of Spider-Man better then any other T.V incarnation and I was a little happy that Raimi didn't go in the young direction.

For the reboot, I'm hoping he's older, has more quip-age, more Peter and Doc Connors interaction, Gwen Stacy in the beginning, and lot's more Spidey stuff that wasn't in the Raimi films.

...One of the biggest perks of Spider-Man was that he was a young kid taking on these seemingly insurmountable odds!

Jesus christ, you really have no bearing on what defines Peter Parker, or Spider-Man do you?

"Gwen in the beginning"? So you want them to gloss over that too?

Stan Lee's reason for creating Spider-Man was that he wanted a teen superhero in a time when teens weren't in the forefront.

You talk like you want them to make movies based on **** that came way later, and doesn't differentiate Spider-Man from any other asshole superhero.

Also, quip-age isn't a ****ing word.

I grew up on Spiderman, and the movies were decent, even though now that the hype was over I realized how much of it didn't really follow the comics. Sure the basics of the plot but it isn't close to the good stuff.

You guys probabtly know WAY more then I do. (My brother mostly pointed out all these things you guys mentioned earlier. :P)

I think a reboot is a LITTLE too soon, I mean, I'd love to see them in the future, because I love Spiderman! (Especially the Spectacular Spiderman Series.) But I don't think the trilogy died down yet.

But The Spiderman Trilogy couldn't have been as Bad as the Hulk. :roll:

So glad they did the Incredible Hulk to redeem it.

I don't care about movies being like the comics. That's why they're two different things. They got to mix em up.

Hell yeah. That first Hulk movie sucked too much, just like Daredevil.

I liked the style (the paneling made it look like you were watching a comic book) and not the story, but to be fair it's been a while since I've watched Ang Lee's Hulk.

Also, quip-age isn't a ****ing word.
Yeah, I used it first...sorry.
