Homecoming The Drew Goddard's appreciation thread

[Perry9]

Since this man will be writing and directing the next film in the Spider-man franchise, i figured that we should have a thread where we can discuss his past efforts in the business of filmmaking and how suitable he actually is for a film like that.

I, for one, am happy that we won't have the syndrome of "too many cooks in one kitchen" that we had with TASM 2. I think he is very talented and can craft a very compelling story.

this guy should've directed the TASM series in the first place

I think, too, that he would be more suitable.

 

[LizardMan07]

Hopefully he knocks SS out of the park, if not, franchise is probably dead!

 

[Nardz937]

Not familiar with the dude, but didn't he write Cloverfield? I loved Cloverfield.

I do wish him the best. Hopefully he can replace Webb if he does well.

One of these days, i really need to see Cloverfield.

You should. It's pretty good.

 

[spider-neil]

If he had directed ASM the storyline would still have been the Origin, parents and Lizard. I think ASMs problems are mostly the path they have taken not the overall directorial style.

I think it's on the same level as Pacific Rim. Entertaining popcorn flick with pretty good decent thrills

While I love Marc Webb and what he did with the first two movies, I'm somewhat excited about Goddard taking the reigns.
Other than World War Z having a boring air to it(which I blame on direction honestly), I have a good feeling about him for the ASM series.

World War Z went through a lot of reshoots. I heard that Drew rewrote the third act and somewhat saved it. Plus, that movie had 3 other writers other than Drew. There is no way of knowing what went down.

So that is the face of the savior. *prays*

 

[Spider-knight]

As much as u love Webb I wouldn't mind if Goddard takes the stage of bringing his voice into spiderman.

Also let's not forget that the guy is also known to be a comic book geek and he also wrote some comics for Buffy even a couple of episodes even wrote some episodes of the latest daredevil series before he left to work on this movie

 

[Spider-knight]

I also thought if he's working on this movie then maybe he would write for TASM 3 and if not just hire any great writers the general audience adore like the people behind skyfall or edge of tomorrow

God won't help.

Only GODdard (see what i did there?)

I loved WWZ. What did Goddard have to do with that movie. If he wrote it than I have loved everything he has done as I loved CitW and WWZ.

 

[psylockolussus]

He worked on Lost so thats a plus for me. I hope he nails it!

 

[Spider-knight]

he also worked on buffy

 

[spider-neil]

If S6 comes together Goddard should absolutely be tasked with writing ASM3. Goddard can be for Spidey what Whedon is for Avengers.

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah that would be a good idea.

 

[Spider-knight]

That's what I thought too. Goddard can write for spiderman in webb's third film and I would live to see what Goddard can bring to spidey and Peter Parker


Also, when I think if Goddard I think of that robotic canine from jimmy neutron. You guys remember that show right?

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I am only familiar with Goddard's "The Cabin in the Woods" and I loved that film. I believe he wrote and directed that one too. I'll have to check out Cloverfield at some point.

I could definitely see the potential here with Goddard writing/directing S6 and the success of that film. Much more info is needed on the S6 project to be able to make some sort of a judgement call though. However, I really hope if S6 is successful and this is the guy they hire to direct ASM3--they better give him the creative freedom to make the movie he wants/needs to make.

 

[HanShotFirst]

If S6 movie does good Goddard should just direct TASM3.

 

[Spider-knight]

Goddard should direct spiderman if the sinister six proves to be a critical success

 

[Perry9]

Dayyyyyym. I watched Cloverfield last night. It was pretty awesome.
