Sequels Official Spider-Man 4 Cast & Crew Discussion

[Justice Bringer]

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

MJ needs to always have a major role in Peter's life.

I doubt theyll cast an unknown after all the major big-name Marvel casting recently, Sony would be smart to go with Jake G.

 

[Visionary]

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

Another good choice for a new director.

 

[Visionary]

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

It really depends on how well SM3 does. If it makes more than SM2 or even better SM1 at the end of its run, Raimi will be hired back in no time. If he's interested. I'm hoping that he at least serves as a producer if there is another director.

 

[Eddie Brock]

No way!

Spider-Man should NEVER be dark! Even with the symbiote, Raimi STILL didn't make it dark! I'll get my "dark fix" on Batman...leave Spidey the way he is.

 

[Eddie Brock]

The same Cameron who wanted to make web-shooting a metaphor for *********ion? The one who wanted Arnold as Doc Ock?

No thanks, I'll stay with Raimi.

 

[Visionary]

Oh, come on, that would have been in the first film. This would be the 4th film, and would force any other director, to come even closer to the comics to outdo anything that Raimi has done.

And Arnorld is practically a crippled old man, so don't worry about that.

 

[Eddie Brock]

I mean, yeah, it was a funny idea...funny enough for me to make this:

But then I realized that he was serious.

 

[Venomfan]

i thought everyone here hated James Camerons spidey ideas?

 

[Eddie Brock]

i thought everyone here hated James Camerons spidey ideas?

Apparently not...and it scares me.

 

[Brendan]

Alfonso Cuarón would be cool for a director. Or Darren Aronofksy.

 

[Visionary]

That was a long time ago people, no matter what any director does, someone is going to hate it.

 

[Venomfan]

peter jackson, dude is the man

 

[Venomfan]

That was a long time ago people, no matter what any director does, someone is going to hate it.

but didnt everyone hate it?

anyway i guess it doesnt mean he cant change

 

[Visionary]

Peter Jackson, another great choice.

 

[Visionary]

but didnt everyone hate it?

anyway i guess it doesnt mean he cant change

That scriptment was what, 15 years ago or more, come on people.

He'd have to change, he can't use Doc Ock or Sandman, which means something new. Actually, that goes for every potential director.

 

[TimDrake64x]

jackson wouldnt be bad either, but for some reason i cant see him doing it. and of course this is if rami doesnt come back. i believe that rami can do another good sm movie and redeem himself for sm3, im cautious, but i think he can do it

 

[TimDrake64x]

MJ needs to always have a major role in Peter's life.

I doubt theyll cast an unknown after all the major big-name Marvel casting recently, Sony would be smart to go with Jake G.

i duno, i think that the relationship between mj and jeter has gotten a little boring in the movies, plus with gewn being introduced u know she will die, and for her death to have some meaning (unlike harry's but thats another topic for another thread) her relationship with peter must grow past the flirtatious stage that it is in now

 

[Superhero 101]

Actually David Fincher and Alfonso Cuaron aren't a bad choice for a Spidey Director

May 7, 2007 - Saying that he was "really over the moon" about the record-breaking $382 million worldwide debut of Spider-Man 3, Sony Pictures chief executive Michael Lynton is already reportedly mapping out the franchise's future.

"Everybody has every intention of making a fourth, a fifth and a sixth and on and on," Lynton informed the BBC. He sees the series lasting for "as many as we can make good stories for."

"Everybody's been so busy trying to get this one out that that's been the focus," he added. "When everybody comes up for air, we can think about how to make the next one."

That would seem to include cast and crew, although that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from offering up a name about who might succeed Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane Watson. According to CinemaBlend.com, Mandy Moore, Alexis Bledel and Camilla Belle are contenders for the role.

The site adds, "Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jake Gyllenhall are the front runners as of now [to replace Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker] but word is that a third name might be thrown in the mix as well." They also suggest that a new director may be tapped as well since Raimi would want more control over Spidey 4.



- Universal

Mandy Moore is rumored as the next Mary Jane Watson.
CinemaBlend's scooper claims "those in Sony don't want to give Tobey or the returning cast that kind of money because they want to lock the cast down for the next three films instead of one and they want to do it cheaply, so they are looking at other actors to continue the franchise in a cheaper way and if the movie opens big and makes a boat load of cash, Tobey and the cast has a huge advantage in negotiations."

It's a no-brainer that Sony wants the Spidey gravy train to keep rolling. For example, of the $148 million that Spider-Man 3 earned in its stateside opening, a record-setting $4.8 million of that came from IMAX screenings. The picture also broke the record for IMAX's largest single day worldwide total at $2.2 million and posted a remarkable domestic opening weekend per screen average of $57,147.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I liked alot of Cameron's ideas, my favorite being Arnold as Doc Ock. Most people hate to think about that but if you look past Freeze, I think he could have done a cool job, however it does crack me up picturing Arnold deliver the "roll of $20 bills" line.


Anyway, I don't think Cameron will do it. It didn't work out before, not sure if he'd come back and try it again.

 

[Justu]

Director: Sam Raimi
Peter Parker: Tobey Maguire
Mary Jane Watson: Kirsten Dunst

i like and think they make the best cast.

 

[DorkyFresh]

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.

i like your ideas dude...that'd be so awesome to see. i'd love to see a Spider-Man movie where a musical/dancing/singing scene doesn't work at all...hehe. i don't want Spider-Man to ever be as dark as Batman or Spawn, but these last 3 movies has had it's fair share of camp.

Let's rush the making of SM4, let's get Mark Steven Johnson as director.

 

[Alex]

I don't understand why people want a new director and a new cast. Changing directors is one thing, but changing cast members? I think it's ridiculous. I like it the way it is and I like all three films. Sam is a good director and should stay on as long as he wants.

 

[Alex]

Let's rush the making of SM4, let's get Mark Steven Johnson as director.

Yes, because rushing a film is always the smart thing to do.
