On a side note has anyone else noticed what Superman 3, Spider-Man 3, X-Men 3, Iron Man 2, and Batman Forever have in common? The studio interfered greatly and the final product was lack luster... I can't see Amazing 2 being very good or "nuanced" as some have called the first with the short production time, unless some kind of solid decision is made on the director NOW.
A rushed project is one thing, and a director losing creative control is another. The second draft of the script is in the process of being completed, and we should hear about the director within the next couple of months.
Studio interference will probably happen, but it doesn't mean the project is doomed. The studio interfered with the first two spider-man movies (originally, Doc Ock was going to be single and fall in love with MJ, but the studio changed that), but Sam Raimi did really well with them.
Studio interference hurt SM3 only because they forced Raimi to put in the Venom story last minute, and the script was being worked on while filming began. Sometimes it can be a good thing, many times it can ruin a movie. It all depends. We don't really know what happens behind the scenes other than what they give us on the DVDs. Its way, way too early to say whether or not TASM2 will be great, good, okay, bad, etc. Alexander Kurtzman and Roberto Orci did a superb job with the Star Trek reboot, Mission Impossible III, Watchmen, Alias, Fringe, Xena, Hercules, etc, so I have faith they can write a good script. Really, they are just polishing up James Vanderbilt's first draft, so we know there is a story already developed.
