How about JC for spider-man 4

[spidermilk]

I know this is likely not to happen but I just wanted to see peoples ideas on it...

How about John Carpenter for Spider-man 4 or a comic book movie at that.

I have always loved his worked.

if your unaware JC is a horror genre director who scores his own movies and occasionally produces them.

Such as-

Halloween 1978
The Thing
Big trouble in little China
Escape from New York

These are just few from the top of my head but I really think he is an underrated director. His movies are really unique and even though not highly rated he's pure brilliance...

Imagine if He was given the helm instead of Raimi back in 2000. or even now. I was always looking for TDK type spiderman film especially when venom was involved.

john carpenter = horror movie win, spider-man FAIL.

NO THANKS.

Have you seen the Evil Dead movies, The Gift, and the forthcoming Drag me to Hell? Raimi has a long history with horror movies. He even had a small role in Stephen King's The Stand.

I'm not saying John Carpenter is the right man to direct a Spidey movie. But the fact that he's a horror movie director doesn't make him the wrong man for the job.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I love John Carpenter's films. My favorite is Halloween (1978). HOwever, I don't think John would be right for the Spider-Man films. I mean, I could be wrong ,but this is jsut how I think it is.

Raimi also has a history of horror flicks.

have i seen the evil dead movies? THATS an understatement. im sorry, but i can only see carpenter as a horror director, not a superhero film maker.

[chaseter]

Is this a joke?

[Catman]

Raimi has only made two horror movies, Evil Dead and the upcoming Drag Me to Hell. Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness were dark-comedies.

Also, John Carpenter hasn't made a good movie in YEARS! So, I don't see how he'd make a good director for Spidey.

NO DUDe, I'm serious!!!

Your definitely right but I think he could flourish, reason why I say this mainly and bought up the thread is because I was just watching the cult classic,

Big Trouble In Little China
I always liked this movie but it was when watching it recently which made me realizes(you might disagree) how great this movie is and I mean in every respect. From the core up.

I was saying to myself I would give this film 5 stars but found myself saying"you could only give film like TITANIC 5 stars, ok then 4 nd 1/2")

but seriously everything in this production I loved in comparison to new big budget movies of our time and of the past.

Cinematography
Script
Directing
Acting
Casting
Story
and the self composed score.

Its not often you get production where you feel the makers have hit the mark on most of the key elements but this was one for Capenter.


I then thought if only Raimi could have made spidey with more grit to it.

Cn you imagine, kinda has a nice ring to it.

Why don't you thin he's right for the role. Like Joker said, he has a history with horror movies, just like Raimi and seeing as you like his films, I'm just curious as to why you may think John wouldn't be right. :cwink:

[Adrian89]

Where the heck do you guys get these ideas anyway?!? Are you some kind of movie experts? John Carpenter for Spider-Man, I'll lol if it will ever happen in the future. Cut the c**p.

[spidermilk]

Raimi isn't the be all and end of the spider man series. He's also had three goes at it, why not...

[spidermilk]

Oh it was just an idea BTW.

[Wesley Dodds]

I love Carpenter's early stuff too. I dunno about the spidey franchise but he definitely should do something.... He would have made a fantastic Ghost Rider movie. Im certain of it..

[NewYorkSpider]

No.

When the title said "JC" I figured you were wanting to give James Cameron another shot, that...I'd be for. Not this though.


Directors I'd favor, even dream of, for a Spider-man sequel/reboot/etc

- James Cameron (Titanic, Terminator, T2: Judgment Day, Aliens)
- Michael Bay (Bad Boys, Michael Bay, Transformers, Transformers II: Revenge of the Fallen)
- Steven Spielberg (Jaws, E.T., Minority Report, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones)
- J.J. Abrams (Star Trek, Mission Impossible III)
- Martin Campbell (Golden Eye, The Mask of Zorro, Casino Royale, Green Lantern)
- Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy)
- Jon Favreau (Zathura, Iron Man, Iron Man 2)
- David Yates (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blooded Prince)

I don't think I could get interested in a John Carpenter helmed Spider-man....unless maybe Morbious were the villain...and in that case, I wouldn't be interested that much, because that's a pretty uninteresting villain.

What a coincidence,

In fact James Cameron would be my first choice also.

John Carpenter was just a thought which I wanted to see what other people thought..

[Wesley Dodds]

I like James Cameron as much as the next guy but have you read his Spider-Man treatment?

It's bad... It's very, very bad.

Simply as a director is how I would want him, not as a writer.

Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg, J.J. Abrams, Jon Favreau are the directors that I would allow story input and co-writing responsibilities.

[DACrowe]

Eh Carpeenter has not made a good movie in over a decade. So no. Besides SM4 has a director. It's over.

Really? Reaaaaaaalllllly?

[Robin91939]

Really? Reaaaaaaalllllly?

Yeah, Bay would be someone I would allow story input. I wouldn't want him writing a script, but I think he could do a good job writing some nice action and I feel like he could put a good spin on Peter Parker.

Spielberg may be my dream director for Spider-man, actually, he's my dream director for Superman...that's an alien story he should have done by now...I wouldn't mind him writing some of the story.

Jon Favs is someone who I could see coming up with a good Spider-man story.

J.J. Abrams I would hire almost solely to get his story for a Spider-man film.

I have the utmost respect for John Carpenter, his films have had a profound impact on my life. But Mr. Carpenter has been on his deathbed for the past fifteen years and sounds like he's going to die from the big "C" any day now. Him directing Spider-man 4 is beyond insulting, let alone an asinine idea. Raimi was a fine choice for Spider-man given his work on Darkman. Sam the man screwed the pooch when he decided to cash in and join the Hollywood system. But who could blame him???
