A J.J. Abrams Spider-Man?

[Batman137]

J.J. Abrams has a great vision for any story. He truly is one of the great directors of our time. And by the looks of it, Star Trek will be a major hit. I was thinking about this, and thought that J.J. Abrams could be a great director of Spider-Man 4, or any Spider-Man movie in general.

What Do You Guys Think?

No thanks. I'm fine with Raimi as is. I'd be skeptical for anyone else to take over.

[Mike]

For Spider-Man? Hell Yeah!!! But I would like to see what Raimi can do with a 4th film. The first two were great but 3 sucked. Im glad Raimi has got control again. Just no more people cheering for spider-man and Spider-Man Day parades.

That's naive. Raimi isn't the only one capable of doing this franchise. Logistically, that's practically impossible.

As for Abrams, man I'd love for him to take over once Raimi's done. He's got a very fresh style in tune with the modern audience. He's also cerebral if the story calls for it. Very versatile in all areas, so hell yeah I'd be open to it.

i think the same with webhead.i really only want raimi. however should raimi opt-out - which isnt gonna happen - i wouldnt be against another director, provided it's not uwe boll.haven't seen Abrams work, so i cant say anything about him though.

Agreed!

I'd love to see Abrams tackle a Spidey movie.

[Reikowolf]

hehe

I can see it now. The Return of Venom as a giant symbiote monster wreaking havoc throughout NY. The entire movie on a handycam. Meanwhile spider-man must come to grips whether he got his powers from the spider-bite.... or the other(s)... get it, like in the comics... and lost


JJ is too gimmicky for my taste. I'm not a fan of lost.

Star Trek does look good but the franchise has been due for a reboot for a while now, JJ was just the first to the punch.

I suppose there could be worse directors to take over the franchise tho, and its not like JJ is not talented... I'm just not a fan.

JJ didn't direct cloverfield, only produced.

[Doctor Jones]

JJ would be interesting.

But he's my choice for an Avenger's film.

[Smit84]

Ehh, he might be a decent fit. Star Trek looks great but I think Abrams is just currently riding a wave of success that will soon recede. He's the guy who everyone thinks should direct every franchise until he delivers a dissapointment.

No one ever talks about how before Alias and Lost he was writing movies like Gone Fishing and Armageddon. In fact, fanboys were up-in-arms over his Superman script and I'll bet Superman fans will want him to direct the next film after Star Trek opens.

Yep, I'm aware.

But it was his idea "An American Godzilla Movie"

He did however direct MI:III aka Tom Cruise the movie Part II

[PWN3R]

J.J. has the geek crowd eating out of his hands, Star Trek is going to be wonderful. If he were ever to direct a comic book film, it would be absolutely huge.

i would love it, he wows me each week on lost and I have never been to impressed with Raimi. Spider-Man 2 was good, the other to where so so.

In my opinion, MI:III was the best of the three. I just think that Abrams could bring something new to the Spider-Man Franchise. I'm sort of tired of the whole Raimi pattern. Girl gets taken hostage, Spider-man saves her. Abrams would make something completely different. Hell, he could have Aunt May turn into Carnage and make it believable and awesome:.

I might be one of the few, but i thought Cloverfield was GREAT. something different and exciting

I wouldn't mind that at all actually.

IMO, he would be a fantastic choice for an Avengers film, although, John Faverue would be just as much of an awesome choice, if you ask me. Well, atleast I think he would.

Anyway, I think Sam should stick with Spidey. Sam seems like he wants to explore more Spidey stories and bring in alot of stuff in #4. He's defenitely not done with this franchise, which is awesome to know because I can't get enough of this franchise. Especially, with Sam's passion put into it.

That's what surprises me about this thread. Fanboys hated his Superman but are willing to accept Spidey with open arms?

Agreed, it's just San's passion for the character that makes me want him to stay.

And yeah, Favreau is my top choice for Avengers, but he's got IM on his belt. But if he can't, Abrams it is.

[LightningFlash]

Stan Lee should direct The Avengers.

[chaseter]

I would give a JJ Abrams Spider-Man movie a chance most definitely.

[NewYorkSpider]

I could be on board with a J.J Abrams Spider-Man movie.

Excuse me? Really? Did I imply it like that?

Where did I say Raimi is the only one able to do these films? That's right, I didn't.

I simply said I'm perfectly content with Raimi, and would be a bit worried if someone else took over. Directors taking over in the middle of a franchise can be bad. The camera work, the lighting, the whole feel. Just look at the big jump from Batman Returns to Batman Forever. The whole feel changes. Makes it feel like a different movie apart from the series, and I don't like that.

[Batman137]

i agree with the feeling changes. But i think with SM3, a change of directors wouldn't feel off
