The Amazing Spider-Man Drag me to hell's effect on Spidey 4?

[JerseyJoker]

I dont know about anyone else, but do you see or read in interviews a new and revitalized Riami since this film started to happen?

I always thought it was a bad idea for him to jump from Spidey 1 to 2 to 3. Hell there is a reason that Nolan takes breaks inbetween each Batman film.

Seeing Riami go back to his love of horror, the thing that got him into film, the one genre he really has a great passion for i think will speak well about how he tackles Spidey 4. Between 2 and 3, he really got burnt out and almost tired of the process. So going indy, go small and going horror...maybe Drag Me to Hell might be the best thing to happen in regards to his take on Spidey 4 then anything else.

I read interviews with him in different mags and you can just tell he has almost a new sense of where he wants to go since he got to go back to the horror world. And the talk about DMTH has been good, the right mix of scary and funny...what he did so well with the Evil Dead trilogy.

Does anyone else pick up this maybe connection to the effect DMTH will have on Riami going into shooting Spidey 4? or is it just me?

 

[SpeterMan3]

I feel it

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Honestly, I think it's having a big effect on him.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Makes you think twice about the interview he gave a while back, where he mentioned his interest in using Morbius as a villain in the next movie, no?

Hmm... good point.

 

[JerseyJoker]

Which i wouldn't have a problem with at all. If its not a character forced on him, let him feel free to choose.

I think he can do great things with Lizard, even though its not a true to form horror style character like Morbius, but Riami can take that character show the transformation between normal and loving father and husband, Doc. Connors and then how he is transformed into this creature...this Lizard. Almost the gothic take of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Im also not saying, his take on each villain or situation has to be in the roots of horror, im just saying it looks like he might have a new sense or purpose towards tackling this film, a new life in him since doing DMTH.

I very much doubt the nature of DMTH will have Raimi make SM4 darker/more horror related.

I hope that it's success will remind him the value or making a quality movie instead of feeling he must reach for the stars and pander to every single audience.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I kinda just hope he finds a role for Alison Lohman in it

 

[DACrowe]

BC, then?

 

[storyteller]

Spiderman should never ever be horror. The Doc Ock scene is as much horror as this series should get.

 

[ross2287]

Morbius would be cool if they were still doing 4 and 5 together but now I don't know. I'd rather just have Lizard and maybe Kraven in 4.

 

[LightningFlash]

The movie looks like a pile of crap.

 

[TheSlag]

So you think the horror of fighting a Man/Lizard genetic mutation gone wrong, a villain that may not only beat you to death but could possibly eat you alive.... has no "horror" value?

It should, very much so, IMO.

agreed on all accounts

what I hated about 3 was that you could blatantly tell in parts he was trying to get a certain demographic into theater seats and that demographic wasn't the same one he was going for with the first two films.

 

[LightningFlash]

It will show that Raimi still sucks as a director.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ BS completely. Have you seen his horror films? people worship them. If you don't like Sam or these movies, then why are you here?

 

[LightningFlash]

Because I am bored obviously, haha.

But people only "worship" these films because 90% of Americans and everyone else have no mind of their own. They will do everything that other people do.

Sam Raimi is no Darren Aronofsky though.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Are you saying that people only worship these films because other people do? I disagree, honestly. I mean, yeah, people do follow other people alot, but still. That's just defenitely not the case if you ask me.

 

[LightningFlash]

I do believe that, yes.

I watched all three Evil Dead movies and I was never a fan of them. They don't seem like "horror" movies to me either, but then again, I have never truly seen a scary movie. Or maybe I have, but they don't seem scary to me.

But Thomas Haden Church is hosting a western marathon on AMC...just a side note, because THC is a great actor.

 

[Adrian89]

Probably because they have bad taste in Horror?

I'm kidding. But I have never found those Evil Dead movies intriguing, exciting, terrifying or anything. Believe me, I've seen much better Horror Movies!

 

[TheScarecrow]

Sam Raimi is no Darren Aronofsky though.

Well that's good, he's never tried to be!

 

[Eric Brooks]

I love the Evil Dead films

however, Drag Me To Hell looks like every other horror film that's been released in the past decade

it's only because it's Raimi that I'm interested in checking it out

 

[TheScarecrow]

From what I've read, it's been praised by every critic for being completely unlike every other horror film that's been released in the past decade.

that'd be sweet if they released a commercial with the voice over dude saying exactly that "Completley unlike every other horror film that's been released in the past decade"

still, there's only 1 way to find out..........
