SuperSpideyGirl,

Great minds think a like

A reboot would be a waste and confusing to audiences. The first 2 films were solid.

I'd say Spider-man 4 should continue the story from the first trilogy with a darker, more real-world directing style as opposed to Raimi's often bright, campy look.

I'd set the film 5 years following the events of Spider-man III with Jake Gylenhaal playing a more mature Peter Parker (closer to the cartoon version) and Mandy Moore as MJ.

 

[kansas boy]

I definitely want a new director and main cast.

Just remember one thing, be careful what you wish for, it could be the best thing in the world or the worst thing next to Spider-man 3 and end the series for awhile.

Just keep that in mind.

 

[blind_fury]

1) David Fincher or Alfonso Cuaron

2) cast Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Peter Parker/Spider-man

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Mary Jane Watson

and Maggie Smith (Hook, Harry Potter) as Aunt May

3) then bring in talented writers who "get it".

4) break box office records and get international praise from critics/fans

i likes...i wouldn't want Spidey's world to be TOO dark though. Spidey isn't Batman. something along the lines of Hellboy would be perfect.

Okay, now that I've got your attention. There's a massive underground petition going on to get him to direct SM4. This isn't a normal petition, the only way it's going to work is through Word-Of-Mouth and feeding that huge ass Texas size ego that he has. Damn his ego, that man is just a master at these types of films, perhaps he is the new blood you seek. All you have to do is start a thread in any entertainment/comic book/movie forum, and let our words find this man's ego. If you don't want James Cameron to direct SM4, just ignore this thread and move on with your lives.

Cameron is a dream director for SM4, that most people think that can never be. I believe in the impossible...but we must move swiftly....shhh...someone's coming.

*whispers*

Now, let me see some LINKS from you, you masters of destiny.

i love terminator as much as the next guy, maybe even more so. but i wouldnt want him directing spider-man...

[superkong 500]

I would love cameron to direct Spidey 4 but I don't think that's a possiblity his doing avatar and has huge plans for a battle angel trilogy afterwards I think that he has left spiderman behind for a longtime, he was attached once but that time has passed.

Whenever there is a big dream movie project for fanboys going around, James Cameron is ALWAYS #1 on the list. A guy who hasn't even done a real movie in about 10 years.

 

[pjspider1C]

I remember when James Cameron was rumored to direct way before any casting or any official announcements were made about the first Spider-Man movie... I recall a script treatment that he was attached to that had Spider-Man bang MJ on the side of the building... yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't want this guy directing a Spider-Man movie...

 

[Elisha Cuthbert]

David Fincher would be a better choice than Cameron.

 

[Visionary]

Whenever there is a big dream movie project for fanboys going around, James Cameron is ALWAYS #1 on the list. A guy who hasn't even done a real movie in about 10 years.

And still, in this genre, he's 20 times better than most directors in Hollywood--that's probably why he's always mentioned. What, you actually think he forgot how to make movies because of 10 measly years, tis' like riding a bike my friend? You'll see when Avatar comes out...he's gonna be riding that bike like a mofo.

I do have a few other directors in mind for SM4, but this guy is tops. I'm curious, do you have any directors you'd like to see direct SM4, or just Sam Raimi?

 

[pjspider1C]

^ Other than Sam Raimi, I think Steven Soderburgh would be an interesting choice for director. His movies are always smart and he knows how to handle a lot of characters (Ocean's Eleven & Twelve). I don't know how much work he's done with a straight out action movie, but I'm confident he could handle it.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

Sam Raimi is the director untill he turns it down

 

[Spidey]

Sam Raimi is the director untill he turns it down

Shoot, by my calculations, the way he handled this third installment practically said "I'll die by slow asphyxiation before I direct another Spider-Man film." My two cents.

 

[Visionary]

Sam Raimi is the director untill he turns it down

You mean until Sony hires him back, that's why he's on a one picture deal contract.

 

[Kevin Roegele]

It wasn't rumours, it was fact. Cameron spend years trying to make a Spidey movie (and also an X-Men movie in the early 90's). Stan Lee said that Cameron was the best choice and it would be a shame if anyone else made the movie.

 

[pjspider1C]

^ And what does Stan Lee think about Sam Raimi?

 

[Visionary]

He's probably fond of him, but I think he wanted Cameron a hell of a lot more.

 

[TimDrake64x]

cameron would be ok, but that mj thing on the side of a building kinda scares me

i think that robert zemeckis would be a great choice. hes a guy who knows how to use the special effects (the back to the futures) and he can do great character development (forest gump). this guy is a very underated director and i think he would be a fantastic choice for sm4

 

[TimDrake64x]

how about this
director: Robert Zemeckis
parker: jake gylenhaal or unknown
mj: small part of her leaving, not in the movie but for 1 scene

 

[Spelunking Man]

Raimi has done an excellent job on the franchise, it would be stupid for the studio execs not to hire him for future installments.

 

[Justice Bringer]

Yes of course. But darker in a more edgier way.

The movie would be more 'sarcastic-funny' than 'slapstick'

Gylenhaal's Parker is older, more physically imposing but has a whitty sarcastic sense of humor.

The 5 year gap would be good for some interesting stuff. Especially MJ and Peter trying to re-establish their relationship after being apart for a while, while Peter over the years has also developed feelings for Gwen or Felicia.
