Sequels Official Spider-Man 4 Cast & Crew Discussion

[Mr. Socko]

We'll never guess. All we can do is choose who we'd like to direct it but obviously won't.


Just like before, they're going to choose low-key but talented actors and director.

 

[TobeyBEATShaydn]

If Sam, Tobey, and Kirsten decide not to come back...

Give Adam Brody the same work out regiment that was given to Tobey and Topher and he can be Peter. He's Definitely got a geeky side and a humorous side. If not Brody, then perhaps the guy who I thought from the very beginning should have played Peter, despite the fact that i do like Tobey in the role... Nicholas Brendan (Xander) from the Buffy the Vampire slayer television series. In my mind, many modern drawings of Peter Parker look uncannily like this guy. Plus, if you observe the character he plays on Buffy, he's basically Peter Parker without super powers. yeah he's a little older now but I'm sure he could play younger.

This is a long shot but perhaps Judd Apatow (Freaks and Geeks, Undeclared, The 40 Year Old Virgin) could direct. He's good with angst.

... and MJ's kinda gotta be a sweetie so definately not someone like Lindsay Lohan... I dunno, maybe Alison Lohman from Big Fish? She's not a huge star yet. That could help because if someone famous was chosen, it'd be harder to indentify her as MJ because all we'd see was the star. Despite the fact that Kirsten is famous and recognizable, she is now synonomous with Mary Jane Watson.


You thoughts?

Why did you make your font bigger?

Topher Grace is a good actor, but Tobey was the right man for the job. Topher did a good job as Venom and hopefully will be able to reprise his role for future films. However, I highly doubt that.

I don't like Kirsten as Mary Jane either, but in the third she did a much better job than the previous two. If they were to change her character now, it just wouldn't feel right. Love it ro hate it, they should keep the cast intact if they can.

Edit: Ugh, you edited. Elish Cuthbert as Mary Jane? Uhh...

no way the spiderman cast is tired and i think if they continue the film theres a good chance they wil do it without the egos. tobey maguire isnt asmartmouth like spiderman should be. they briefly tried him out as being whitty in the first film when he fought bonesaw and he failed horribly. and i dont really feel chemistry between tobey a kirsten. maybe its just me.

Wow, again with the big font. Overcomensating much?

Their egos? Just because they're famous and make a lot of money doesn't mean they have egos. You're just feeding into a celebrity cliche. What grounds do you have for stating that?

Tobey hasn't really had the chance and you can't blame him for the dialogue they give him.

Yet they're good friends. Hmm.

My recommendation for Parker...

Scott Mechlowicz.

Def. has the Peter Parker look...And some acrobatic skills as well.

 

[olemonica]

Jake Gyllenhaal. No F*****G way... He don'y look like PP at all...
Jake Gyllenhaal looks a bit like Tobey Maguire but not Peter. Not at all.
F**k that g*yboy

I can actually see this gut as Peter. Can he act?

best suggestion i've heard yet. i saw him in Eurotrip but never made the connection. i could definitely see him as Peter Parker.

Blam the writers not Tobey.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Not really.

sure he can! check out this clip...it demonstrates his ability for drama, comedy, and action all in one scene! hehe

Double post

 

[Odametal]

But Maguire don't have the timing to pull out some jokes.
He just read the lines. Put Seinfeld to write jokes for him, and he still won't be a funny Spider-Man.
Thats why every scene that Topher appears, I thught: Damn, he's a good Eddie Brock, but he could be as awesome Peter Parker.
Topher has a good timing for comedy, Tobey don't. Just see the difference.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i gotta agree that Tobey didn't come off like the wisecracker that Pete is. blame the writers all you want but even when Tobey was delivering sarcastic and smartass comments he didn't do it convincingly imo.

well my punchy friend, do you think that with every movie that they do they do not want MUCH fatter paychecks? Tobey Maguire made 16 million on Spiderman 3 which really is not even all that much compared to tom cruise who cleared 100 million on war of the worlds. Do you think that an actor increasing the amount of money they are willing work for movie after movie is not due to ego? A speculated 20 million for Tobey Maguire is way too much for the caliber actor he is. basically cliches are cliches for a reason. they are not just randomly assigned falsities. And did you even see the first film at all? they tried to give him whitty dialogue (in has match with bonesaw) and he sucked it up. thats why our current Spiderman is not funny. Writers create dialogue that the actors can run with and when it comes to quips, Maguire might as well be a one legged man in the 100 meter dash. Do not get this wrong i do not mean to bash Tobey Maguire its just that in spite of what you think hes not an amazing actor; hes a halfway decent actor

and about me "Overcomensating", i apologise

Ok I'll admit his delivery at times is poor with the jokes.

Jerry Seinfeld isn't funny though.

Tobey has a quieter sense of humour.

topher really would have been a great parker, but Scott Mechlowicz really is not a bad choice. but what about adam brody?

Making movies is their job. Wouldn't you want more money for your job if you could get it? Just because he makes a lot of money doesn't mean he hasd a huge ego, you're just making assumptions which are probably based on jealously, because you don't make that type of money or have the luxury of demanding more money from your current employer and getting it.

Yes, I have seen it actually. He may not be the most sarcastic person in the world and a loud mouthed wisecracker, but the writers gave him crappy dialogue in that scene.

I'm not saying he's an amazing actor, but he's a better actor than you are giving him credit for. Have you seen any of his other work? As for him not deserving twenty million dollars, you're probably right but he deserves it a lot more than a lot of other people who make that kind of cash. He's playing an iconic character and has been for three movies now and people are attached to him as Spider-man. If he wants more money that is in a reasonable price range, he should get it.

And don't apologize, just don't do it. What's the point in doing it anyway?

 

[Alex]

topher really would have been a great parker, but Scott Mechlowicz really is not a bad choice. but what about adam brody?

Physically, Scott would be better than Adam but acting wise, Adam would be better than Scott. And no, although Topher Grace is funny, I don't think he'd make a better Peter than Tobey. I think Topher did a good job as Venom.

 

[DorkyFresh]

Like I said, "Not really".

wow, quite a sense of humor ya got there!

 

[Alex]

I like Eurotrip and think it's hilarious but that doesn't mean he's a good actor.

 

[DorkyFresh]

of course not...i'm not saying he's a great actor or anything. that's the only movie i've seen him in, but if the trailer for Peaceful Warrior is any indication of how he acted in that movie then it looks like he might have some potential...

Give Adam Brody the same work out regiment that was given to Tobey and Topher and he can be Peter. Those two guys were skinny before they got their roles and now look at them. Brody's Definitely got a geeky side and a humorous side.
