The Amazing Spider-Man Sony Rebooting Spider-Man for 2012!!!

[spider-neil]

I thought kickass was good but I enjoyed SM 1 and 2 better


back to the reboot, I really get the impression they are dragging their heels on this. if they want the CG to be avatar quality then they really need to be starting the effects now. they'll start the CG late 2011 and it will look rushed and unrealistic, betcha.

I seriously doubt the cg will be Avatar quality if the budget is only $80 mil.

Just saying......

 

[chaseter]

It will not be Avatar quality.

Why would anybody think it would be???

Wait, wasn't Jurassic Park 1 around that budget, or even less than that?

Because, well. JP1 had orgasmic effects

 

[Aesop Rocks]

tyrannorgasmic rex!

Yes... back in 1991 or something. Which is the equivalent of about $200 mil nowdays based on todays inflation index.

$80 mil won't get you anything, but a made for TV film shown at the theaters. X-Files comes to mind anybody?

I decided to do some research on this.
According to Box Office Mojo (http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=jurassicpark.htm), Jurrassic Park was released in June of '93 and the budget was $63mil

Using Tom's Inflation Calculator (http://www.halfhill.com/inflation.html) and using 1992 as the starting year (assuming the movie began production a year before) that puts the 2010 price at $99mil.

As my conclusion, I submit that on a $80mil budget, we should get some pretty decent CG.

Hmm, interesting. I guess former President Clinton didn't know what he was talking about when he said the rate of inflation has doubled since he left office, under the Bush administration. Or he was just flat out lying.

Good fine mre.

Heres a video interview with James Vanderbilt about the Losers... fast foward to about 3:20 for Spidey stuff.

I hate how secretive these films are. It's just too quiet. How are you supposed to build hype for a movie and you don't say anything about it? At first it gets you excited, but after awhile, it gets a little annoying.

I agree, except that it gets A LOT annoying. Look at how much James Cameron talked about Avatar, the guy couldn't shut up about it, certainly didn't hurt it at the box office either. They seriously need to start talking about the new film in a bit more detail. And stop acting as if being secretive is the only thing that this film has to offer, or at least I hope that isn't the actual case, again.

 

[Marvel Spider]

It's pretty boring. I know we have two years and all, but that doesn't mean you can't release information to peak people's interests.

 

[Spidey_62]

Jon Faverau flat out says he wants the Mandarin in IM3 days after IM2's released, when it won't even be coming out until after 2012 and Sony will never reveal who the villain's are in their Spidey films ever.

Spider-Man seriously got hooked up with the wrong people all around--director, producers and movie studio. If this was Paramount, Universal or New Line Cinema there would be at least something to talk about. Sad ass Sony.

 

[david icke]

Revealing the villan for a spider-man movie is a major big deal, it does not compare to the Mandarin for IM3, which is an easy guess, and who cares much at this point about IM3 anyway? and of course, in cultural interest terms, Spider-man is in a different league altogether.
The reveal of the villan is a strategically beneficial move for generating interest in the movie, they are being smart about that, and withholding until the fever pitch would be highest, that moment is not 'two years away'.
They are silent at this very moment because they have nothing else substantial to report right now, has anyone been definitely signed and cast in a major role? No. They have revealed everything else, direction(ultimate), time frame(hs), director, writer.
If a studio were to release the big juicy tidbit of the villan now it would be a dumb move from a publicity standpoint, what else will they have later on to release that will generate so much interest?
You will just have to be patient. When actors are meeting for talks for the villan role we may hear all the rumours as usual, but maybe not, they will be keeping this as secret as possible, given the leaks for SMIV. They will want to control that info's release for maximum impact.
This is early days, and any other studio would be playing it the same way.

 

[Oscorp]

Actually I agree. You can't really compare revealing Iron Man 3 villain to revealing the Spider-Man villain. It's a bigger deal.

However, I'd really want them to at least give a clue or something. It would be fun to speculate around that. And I'd want to know how many villains there will be too.

To my knowledge, it was never publicly said that the reboot will be completely based on Ultimate. That's just speculation.

 

[spider-neil]

the budget for the reboot hasn't been confirmed so we're speculating about how much sony are willing to spend on the CG

Hopefully there will be very little CGI....

 

[mre]

I am surprised there is no new news... If the movie is coming out in 2012 shouldn't they have more than just a director signed on by now? What's going on?
Is this movie actually going to come out?

 

[Droogoonie789]

Any word on who's writing the script?

James Vanderbilt. He wrote Zodiac, and the Losers.

 

[Karelia]

Yeah, I'd like to hear a little bit more about this film, anything really. Like who's going to be Peter Parker/Spider-Man...

And I really don't want to see a lot of CGI in this film. Only when needed, and if this movie is supposedly "low budget" maybe we won't have to worry about that as much.

I agree if Sony Imageworks are doing the CGI, horrible VFX company.
