The Amazing Spider-Man The Official Marc Webb Thread

[Project862006]

i think spiderman needs to have an epic look to it hey but thats just me

Showtime, don't you think we could have a change of tread title? like official : Mark Webb..

Yup, 80 seem pretty low, but that could confirm a more grounded approach yes, and also that they're not willing to take too much risks in what they possibly are going to experiment?

 

[Maze]

double post.

 

[MadVillainy]

Thor is relative unknowns. How big is SLJ role, and besides Portman and Hopkins alot of the GA isnt going to know what a relative unknown is. We probably have 2 definitions of what unknown actor means

 

[Crook]

Seriously, that 80 million budget has me worried for the first time since this reboot was announced.

Agreed. That changes the playing field drastically. If that's true, I honestly do not see how they expect to make a great enough film for the masses to get into. This is borderline indie drama, with supernatural characters.

Sure thing Maze.

80 million is very low but they can make it work.

Relative cast of unknowns in Thor?

Natalie Portman
Samuel L. Jackson
Kat Dennings
Anthony Hopkins
Stellan Skarsgård
Ray Stevenson
Tom Hiddleston
Rene Russo

If he is working with 80 million dollars and a cast of unknowns he is most certainly a studio guy. I'm not sure what the debate is here.

These people are not really known names to teh general audience. Plus their paychecks are more than likely very smal compared to the other 3 not highlighted.

There is nothing wrong what so ever with it. I loved Raimi's stuff. But it seems your against this film. So is there anything wrong with Loving Spider-Man, Loving Raimi's Spider-man, and loving the idea of some one new doing it too?

And now the rest is not directed at you.

I wouldn't have been THAT MUCH against it if it was 8 years after S-M4. HOWEVER, that's not the case, and it's very sad.

thats what I was saying. But its not a Thor thread back to Spidey

 

[Solidus]

As you said, Matrix was over a decade ago. As for D9, that thing was shot on a landfill and had very minimal action. Not at all comparable to a proper Spidey film.

Yea but 30 was the whole budget. And they probably still had what 15 for the SFX. I mean that thing was SFX loaded, the Prawns were all CGI, Christopher was in it tons and looked amazing. I'm not saying this will be a great thing, I'm just saying it can be done. If they don't get a well known cast. But who knows what the budget will be, I never saw that in the official release so I guess it may just be a rumor.

I agree it should be higher, so lets see what happens. All I'm saying is sometimes smaller budgets can do wonders. But I will wait until the official announcement on that is given. Rumors can be tricky.

 

[Sam Fisher]

I have not seen (500) Days of Summer, so I can't say yay or nay either way. All I have to say is...

Spoiler

THANK GOD FOR NO MICHEAL BAY!

With a small budget, sometimes your creativity really shines through. They'll be thinking of lots of new ways to get the desired effect for less money.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Yes, but this is Spider-Man. A guy who swings around a big city and faces villains with superpowers as well. Something just really has begun to worry me if that truely is the budget.

 

[Still Wynning]

Sure thing Maze.

80 million is very low but they can make it work.

District 9 only took $30 Million to make, and that turned out really well.

I think this movie will be fine.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

There is somewhat of a requirement with characters like Spider-Man and Superman to spend some money. You can still tighten your belts. But under $100 million? Your average budget is around $130 million nowadays. I'm not one to usually be doom and gloom because there tends to be more going on underway than is told out loud.

But this sounds bad...

Crap, when Jamie's worried, I'm really worried.

I mean, I know Spidey has a few, less than major villains to fight but this isn't like X1. People have seen Spidey to amazing stuff. You have to outdo their expectations.

 

[The Joker]

I've no idea who Marc Webb is, so this means very little to me.

Is his 500 days of Summer movie any good?

one of the best from 2009, one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time

 

[Kabuki_Jo]

Sony's gonna screw this movie up.

Sure thing Maze.

Thanks showtime.

hope everything are going well for you

Happy new year.

Yup, they could.. ultimate spiderman, they say..

This is a good example of a small budget doing alot. But hmmm.

Well I liked it. I hate romantic kind of stuff. But this really takes that genre and sets it upside down. It truly had a "realistic" way of romance/love/relationships. No cheesy romantic dialogue or cliche moments. It really was about a man that fell in love, and the majority of the story is him falling out of love and trying to get her back. But failing around every corner. Most (including me) that saw it could relate to it. It does not put love/romance in rose color glasses, it shows it for what it really can be in the real world, and just did a wonderful job of that.

I would recommend to rent it and check it out bud.

It was a good fun flick, that had some deep moments.

Yes, but this was possible because very little money actually went into location. I stress again, it was a landfill. How can you compare that to a metropolitan area? Even if they opt for a NYC stand-in, that's going to cost a hefty amount of money. Be it on-set locations or building sets.

Plus, we already know Webb is getting 10 million for this gig. I don't know if that goes into the budget, but if so, that's a hefty 1/8 down the drain already.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Sony's gonna screw this movie up.

Let's actually wait till the movie comes out or till we hear some more news before we judge this movie, ok? We hardly know anything about the movie. It could go either way.

 

[craigdbfan]

Look at your sig.

I just think they may not be putting out big pay checks if this is true to big actors. But who knows this may just be a rumor right now. Budget is not locked in yet.

But to me D9 proved you can do cheap SFX and make it look amazing. For 30 million they had some of the best SFX for District 9 period.

Well yeah, do look at my sig.

As the director for D9 started working on special effects at the age of 14 and is a master when it comes to practical effects and CGI.

Marc Webb hasn't proved he has a proficiency in this area. Sure as a character director he is fantastic but we have no idea how well he can handle something like Spider-Man.

I would have been fine with a small director if he had shown experience in both handling effects of this magnitude and characters. Webb hasn't.
