The Amazing Spider-Man The Official Marc Webb Thread

[Angel_Faerie]

Nope.

Let's just hope he's a good a match for Spidey as his name.

Beats their first choice Sheldon Spiderman.

And it's pronounced "Spuh-DERE-man."

I'm late to the party, but here are my reaction to some of the news of the day:

Marc Webb as director: I like, I think he will do a great job with the characters.

80 million dollar budget: I hope that's false. When WB puts more money in a non-Batman/ Superman unproven superhero film...something feels wrong.

Cast of unknowns: As long as the actors are quality, I see no problem

Ultimate influence: Depends on the what is taken from the ultimate lines, but I prefer 616 through and through

Action and Villian taking a back seat to Parkers story: I've got no huge problems with that. Just make sure the action is quality

Non-origin film: It's what I expected.

Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic about the new movie. The low budget and Ultimate influence is a bit worrying for me.

The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.

HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!







I could not be happier. Brian Bendis gave us the best version of Spider-Man with Ultimate Spider-Man. It's like it's freaken Christmans!!!!!!!!!!!!! SONY GET BENDIS TO HELP WRITE THIS SCRIPT!!!! DO IT !!! DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BRIAN BENDIS TO PEN SPIDEY!!!!!!

 

[Jennifer Walters]

The script's already written. And Ultimate is FAR from the best adaption of Spider-Man. Good for the most part though.

 

[DACMAN]

Nothing is better. Nothing. The only thing that comes close is the JMS run in Amazing and Stan's own run in the 60's. Other than that, nothing can even touch Ultimate.

Though I'm not as "knowledgeable" in my Spidey universe (I'm mainly a Bat fan) I liked a lot of the Ultimate Spidey's story arcs. But somethings I did not like. The thing I did not like about the Ultimate (and correct me if I'm wrong) was GG and HG. I did not like the "monster" aspect of them. I kinda thought the Venom arch was cool. But the Goblins, I never read a lot of them, but the few I did I did not care for the way the Goblin was.

Other then that I"m still pretty optimistic so far. I think Webb will do a great job. But lets hope all the other factors go well as well.

 

[Boom]

I hate Ultimate Spider-Man .

 

[DACMAN]

That's because you're insane. I pity you.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Ultimate Carnage was a mess. As were the Goblins. Ultimate Gwen Stacy is just annoying and should've stayed dead. Mary Jane turning into a wolf creature. Kitty Pryde playing a major role in multiple ways, her as Ultimate Hood was LAME. Aunt May becoming a haven home for superheroes. Ultimate Spider-Woman being Peter's clone (this one is kinda cool I guess, but still sorta hokey.)

Seriously...for alot of Bendis's good ideas in Ultimate. There's a ton that totally tarnish the good ones.

 

[craigdbfan]

I hope its more Spectacular Spider-Man than Ultimate Spider-Man.

Spectacular did a brilliant job of mixing 616, Ultimate, Raimi, and 90's Animated to create one of the best iteration of the characters yet.

If Marc can pull all that off then he's got a winner.

I guess you could say the nice thing about doing a film, you can't incorporate a lot of things. So hopefully what they do, is take the best stuff from it. I liked some of the things I read, and as I said before I did not like what he did with Osborn.

 

[JP]

It's all in the script that's already been written. :/

 

[Boom]

Golly shucks! Thanks !

Agreed.

I think the same thing. As I said before with the great things of doing comic films, there is so much material, you can pick and choose. So hopefully they pick the good things. Ultimate had some things I really liked. Then some things not so much. I have a feeling Vanderbilt did incorporate both since originally he was making this for Sam's vision of Spidey which was more from TAS.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm really hoping it takes a little from every adaption and doesn't totally follow Ultimate through and through.

 

[Solidus]

I doubt it will, comic movies usually take from all over the place.

 

[Closerframe]

I don't like the sound of casting relative unknowns.

 

[Hurm...]

I loved 500 Days of Summer. I like that Sony is giving directors that don't have experience with a wide range of films a chance to play with the Spidey-verse. I'm just hoping for the best from Webb since I really enjoyed Raimi's Spider-Man, it's good to see a fresh take after a decade of amazing films. Good luck Webb, you'll probably need it lol.

This was the best part of the news.

Why have over paid actors just for their names? I mean there are tons of movies where cast unknowns become huge stars. As long as their good actors who cares of they are known or not.

*adds 500 Days of Summer to Netflix queue*

I hope Webb can deliver in the action department.

 

[Hurm...]

I don't know if many people will agree with me, but I would love to see this Spider-Man have a different feel to it by having a soundtrack like 500 Days of Summer, rather than a musical score. I think it would be interesting and unique as opposed to most superhero films.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Webb said, “This is a dream come true and I couldn’t be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Rami’s virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to ‘take over’ from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I’m here because there’s an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man.tions but directors as well.

When I think of people who are relatively unknowns, I think of actors that come on shows such as Friday Night Lights or Smallville. If you're selling a film like Spider-Man you're gonna need some faces people know.
