The Amazing Spider-Man Who Should Direct The Reboot?

[Catman]

Kathryn Bigelow.

Good answer.

 

[GoldGoblin]

Zack Snyder

 

[terry78]

We want Zack for TMNT.

 

[Sawyer]

Pipedream: Joss Whedon.

Ironically, the directors who arent' fanboys and could care less are always the ones we want to get the gig. It's like the cool guy that ignores the chicks...they want him because he don't give a ****.

 

[zeptron]

Greg Weisman.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I haven't seen Zombieland, but whoever directed that would be interesting. It may be completely wrong, but it just came to me.

 

[Captainhulk]

The Wachowskis.

why would you post that? Can't people see by now that the first Matrix movie was a fluke and that They just got luky with that one?

It was not a fluke, a movie like that is never a 'fluke'.

Bound, The Matrix and Speed Racer were all great movies, yes, i said SR, it had things going on that I'd never seen onscreen before, same with the Matrix.

The Matrix sequels were flawed, but they still had great moments, the trouble is they were very ambitious films that tried to break new ground, but were filmed back to back, it was too much of an undertaking for them to be of the equal to the original, still, they tried.
edit: the original Matrix also had the trippy twist to it that made it a classic too, that effect couldn't be reproduced in a sequel, they were never going to be quite the same unforgettable movie experience as the original, no matter how good they were.

Thw Wachowskis grew up reading comicbooks, they are very well versed in the superhero stories, they would do things with spidey onscreen that would blow our minds, they are probably the only filmakers I would bet on outdoing Raimi in the Spidey action/physics department.
they can do the great kids stuff with SR, the more serious action drama with the big M, and can pull off good relationship drama too, as seen in Bound.

they'd make a great Spider-man movie, esp one where they would have completely free reign with villans, story etc to kick it off.

 

[Catman]

Tim Burton. No one can handle teen angst like him. Maybe Johnny Depp will play Spider-Man.

 

[FatmanReturns]

I actually think it would be really interesting to see Chris Columbus do it, too.

Other choices:
Alexander Payne
James Cameron

...

Sam Raimi? (I WANT YOU BACK!!!!)

 

[GoldGoblin]

Tim Burton would make everything look gothic.

 

[Catman]

James Cameron

Too late for that.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I don't trust the Wachowski's after what they did with the Matrix sequels.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Pipedream: Joss Whedon.

This. He'd do the action, the humor, and get it all right. Sadly I don't see it happening.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Matthew Vaughn would be a good choice.

I like him but won't be sure until I see Kick-Ass.

 

[Congo Jack]

I doubt Sony would give him Spider-Man, but I'd like Joss Whedon as writer and director.

 

[terry78]

What's to trust? Their track record is good enough, they just went with their vision for the sequels. It wasn't the best work, but it was their own creation.

 

[Catman]

How about...Chris Weitz? Has done teen movies (American Pie), comedy/drama (About a Boy), visual effects/action (Golden Compass), and romance (Twilight Saga: New Moon).

 

[OptimusPrime114]

I'll go with Chris Columbus.

He's the reason that the first two Harry Potter movies were a huge success!

[batman44]

Ahh, this will be the news I want to hear. I don't know who to pick.

 

[Sawyer]

Pass.

 

[I Am The Bat]

I wonder if Jon Favreau is busy since he said he WON'T be directing the avengers movie... :P

The Matrix sequels betrayed the vision of the first movie and actually worsened the original's spotless reputation.
