[startrekkie]

Didn't we see Peter Parker in high school in the first Spiderman film this just doesn't make sense I want Maguire and Raimi back

 

[BellvilleDad]

I'd be ok with out Raimi, there are other good directors, but McGuire IS Spiderman.

 

[startrekkie]

Yes Tobey Maguire is Spiderman let's make a petition to get it on development Spiderman 4 why on earth did Tobey walk away from Spiderman

 

[bicker]

Time passes and eventually it comes time to move on and try something different. We didn't even see the last film ... I'm more than ready for a completely different take on the franchise.

It's a bad decision. My gut feeling is that Sony fired McGuire and Raimi due to creative differences, and the "reboot" is just the PR story.

Yes, we saw the beginning of Spiderman in the first movie. Doing it again isn't going to fix anything. THAT was the good movie. The idea would be to try to make a good #4. Don't tell me there aren't enough stories. Spidey has a ridiculous number of stories.

I could not stand Maguire as Spiderman & Dunst as Mary Jane, so I say HURRAY!

Another one here too. Who doesn't care if she's called a Trekkie instead.

They should just continue on with the storyline they have going.

Tobey McGuire was on Jimmy Kimmel's show just about a week or two ago, talking about Spiderman 4. He was joking about needing to do kid's birthday parties in order to get in shape for the new movie, and kiddingly showed this video of himself:

I'm bummed about the re-boot, but never liked Kirsten Dunst, so that part I couldn't care less about.

Seems stupid and disappointing to start the franchise all over again.

I truely hope that these are only rumors and that they never see the light of day.

OMG, that would be horrible.

I wouldn't mind Jake Gyllenhaal as the new Spiderman, though

What's the point in rebooting Spiderman

What's the point in rebooting Star Trek?

 

[startrekkie]

to bring freshness into the franchise

 

[bicker]

So you've answered your own question.

 

[startrekkie]

I think I did but who will be a good choice for the role of a teenage Peter Parker

 

[Brocktoon]

From what I've been hearing, they were planning on rebooting after Spidey 4, so there was already a screenplay ready to go. I love Raimi, but if his vision couldn't be achieved I think the best decision was made in scrapping #4, and just going forward with the reboot.

James Vanderbilt wrote the new script, and he's put together some decent stuff (wrote The Zodiac). Basically this reboot could be very good, or a trainwreck. Spidey was rebooted as 'Ultimate Spiderman' about a decade ago, and the Ultimate comic has easily been one the best Spidey comic, as well as one of the best ongoing comic series of the past decade. After 10 years, that book is still focusing on Peter is high school along with his relationships with Gwen, Mary Jane, and a bunch of others. If Ultimate Spiderman can be good, then there's no reason a new franchise can't be as well.

I think they'll cast an unknown as Peter, although Michael Cera is a name that keeps popping up (he's too old to play the part now). If they get a decent director and use the Ultimate comic as a model, we'll have a huge hit. If they're trying to go the whole Emo/Twilight route, then we're going to have a huge mess

 

[startrekkie]

I hope it doesn't be Twilight like

You can't have Spidey without Tobey Maguire. I could stand if Dunst were replaced but the charm of the movies is their less than perfect real lives.

I do have to say the retooling of Star Trek was really good but you couldn't stay with the original cast as half of them have passed and the others are too busy selling hotel rooms and getting married.
