Homecoming The John Hughes of it all...

[UltimateWebhead]

It's not going to be a deconstruction like the Breakfast Club. I think it will be a lot like Ferris Bueller in terms of tone with the pendulum leaning a bit more towards drama. And it will be set more in the school. Like imagine a Ferris Bueller movie taking place in his freshman year rather than the end of his senior year.

You may have missed my point. I was using Breakfast Club merely as an example for the difference between having inspiration rather than imitation. You can insert whatever movie into the blank space, i.e. Ferris 2.0, Pretty in Pink 2.0, Weird Science 2.0, etc.

I'm reminded of a quote from BB King. This response was towards upcoming guitarists.

"If I want to hire a musician for a gig and I'm looking to hire someone that sounds like Eric Clapton, I'm gonna hire Eric Clapton."

I think the point fits with what you are essentially saying. Taking cues from someone else on your path to find your own sound is different than trying to copy someone else outright. John Hughes has a distinct style and one that made several movies into classics...if they're after that same feel, classic approach, that's great. But I don't want to walk out of Spider-Man (2017) and feel like I just watched Breakfast Club 2.0.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly

Bought some John Hughes films over the weekend to get an idea of what they're going for. Got a copy of The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles and Weird Science. Haven't seen any of them besides Breakfast Club (which I love), but I'm pretty excited.

Watch Ferris Bueller. I had only seen Breakfast Club like you, but decided to watch Ferris last week. Such a good movie.

 

[Webhead2006]

Pretty much all Hughes films are great. For me I believe I seen them all. But it's been awhile since I watched any.

 

[Neno_Kos]

Currently watching Ferris Bueller first time since long time. Such a good movie. What a classic

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

Definitely. Ferris Bueller is in my top 5 movies ever.

Chick, chicka, chickaaaaa

 

[Rodrigo90]

I just watched Ferris Buller for the first time. Hilarious.

 

[Webhead2006]

It's a good one. If you haven't try weird science next. And I know it's not Hughes by another classic teen 89s flick which is on netflix is can't buy ne love.

There's humor and then there's humor. I simply hope they don't go overboard with the 'comedy' stuff. It's one thing for Spidey to be witty and use his brand of humor but it's another to have lame 'in your face' jokes being tossed at the screen. I can only imagine this John Hughes idea could end up having Peter 4th-wall breaking with his monologues like Ferris Bueller.

That could work really well if done right, look at how well House of Cards used that technique. It would also be a neat way of adapting though bubbles from the comics.

 

[Rodrigo90]

It needs that, definitely. Like Malcom In The Middle. A lot of teen shows and movies have that

I'm surprised we didn't have in Raimi's Spidey movies because it always happened at the beginning and end...sort of.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

hope its not to much like breakfast club

would hate for Flash, and Harry to end up getting the girls, and Peter get stuck behind writing an essay for them

 

[Webhead2006]

I don't want 4th wall breaking or looking at camera it's not spidey that deadpool. I rather just have inner monologs.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Like the Wonder Years?
Daniel Stern for adult Peter's voice!

 

[Spider-Fan83]

maybe he carries a recording device with him and records memos to him self... so its not 4th wall, as him talking directly to the audience

but still him talking to a camera

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I'd be cool with it if it just randomly happens for one scene but it might get ridiculous if it's the entire movie.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Have him look at the camera in reflection when he's at home or school...and pull back to show he's talking into a mirror

 

[Rodrigo90]

The Ultimate Spider-Man show handles itself a bit like Ferris Bueller, with the monologue and cutaway jokes.

 

[Webhead2006]

I think just doing a voice over that is meant to be inner monolog is the way to go and likely go.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I think it would be good.
To have him thinking of his problems. Thinking of sarcy humor rather than outwardly saying it when he hasn't got the mask on.

 

[Spider-Who?]

I think it's a reference to two things:

1) It's going to be more comedy-based than past entries.

2) The plot will revolve more around the idea of it being the end of Peter's world, rather than THE world. You know? A more personal problem.

Also, ASM was not that high school based. It really only kind of touched it.

ASM1 was more high school based than SM1, I feel. Hell, one of the best fights in any Spidey film took place entirely in Peter's high school.

ASM1 was more high school based than SM1, I feel. Hell, one of the best fights in any Spidey film took place entirely in Peter's high school.

I did forget about the Lizard fight in the school. Dunno how. I was more touching on the drama that comes from high school. Like USM has Peter skipping classes and being late to class all the time. That's what I was referring to. Though, to be fair, I dunno if high school drama really fits in a Spidey FILM. What works in a comic doesn't always work in a movie.

 

[harryoscop]

Pls no talking to the camera. I know Ferris Bueller did it but it's just a little too "USM cartoon" territory for me. I reallly don't wanna see Peter breaking the fourth wall.

However, I do wanna see Peter narrating and talking to himself in his mind so we can know what's he's thinking. Sort of like the thought bubbles in the comics.

 

[Webhead2006]

Harry I serious doubt they do anything like usm the toon. I rather see an what likely be just voice overs used as inner monolog in is what we bound to get. Cause remember tone and direction still has to fall into how the mcu is presented in the other films and the shows so no way they be doing deadpool like stuff here. As it doesn't fit spidey or the mcu world.
