The Amazing Spider-Man Who Should Direct The Reboot?

Juno was a piece of crap.

If you dont like high school dilemmas and problems, I suppose you dont like Lee/Ditko's run on ASM either?

Matthew Vaughn Wants Spider-Man Reboot

Stardust and Kick-Ass director wants take his hands on Spider-Man now that there will be a reboot...
Obsessed With Film reports that Drew McWeeny was a guest speaker for The Loop segment of “Attack of the Show” yesterday and revealed that he had a brief telephone conversation with Matthew Vaughn (the director of "Stardust" and upcoming "Kick-Ass").

Vaughn has revelead that he's "desperate to get his hands on Spider-man". So, now it's only on Sony's hands to contact this great director!

(500) Days of Summer was awesome and Marc Webb did a wonderful job with that movie...but he does lack experience. So, Sony is definitely gonna push him around. Visually the movie will be great. The performances will be nice as well, but the script is out of his hands. Hopefully, Sony knows what it's doing.

Also, this is why Matthew Vaughn won't get the job. If he couldn't get along with Fox then there's no hope with Sony.

-roll eyes- You people...are so...gugh.

 

[Crook]

I'm actually hoping Vaughn gets this, now that he's put his hat in the ring. I wouldn't mind Webb though, he did a fantastic job with (500). But I share the concerns that he won't be fit for the blockbuster scale, or that he will relegated to a yes-man by Sony because of his lacking clout.

Doesn't Vaughn drop out of every superhero movie he's attached to?

Webb would be perfect, but a studio puppet at this point.

Whatever. Juno is a sweet movie.

Anyone is going to be a studio puppet to you guys. You've all got such mad hate hard ons for Sony right now.

 

[Sawyer]

Whatever. Juno is a sweet movie.

I really hated Diablo Cody's hipster dialog...

 

[Octoberist]

how passe! ;p

Jennifer's Body was..meh at best because the actors didn't fit the dialog. Nor was the script clever enough. But the dialog worked in Juno, or at least it was tolerable enough that it worked for me.

 

[batman44]

Both Webb and Vaughn would be a good fit for Spidey imo. I'll pull for Webb only because I would like Vaughn for Superman.

 

[Octoberist]

we'll see what happens.

If Webb gets it, then I'm all for it. Samething with Vaughn

 

[Boom]

Could you imagine how weird a Wes Anderson Spider-Man movie would be? I mean, I'm a fan of his work, but I find it odd that Sony has him in the pot for consideration.

And just to play the devil's advocate here, if Vaughn is "desperate" to get this movie, wouldn't he also be at risk of being a studio puppet? "Desperate," to me, translates into "I'll do anything you want."

 

[Saint]

He doesn't even have an extensive enough filmography and lack of directorial experience to work on a film like Spider-Man. Let alone having a convincing enough background that he could handle a massive endeavor like this.

Not that I'm completely against the idea of a director with a few projects in his bag but they at least need to have a movie that "clicked" with both GA and that target audience.

Why? Whedon's filmography gives us more reason to believe he'd work for Spider-Man than Christopher Nolan's filmography gave us reason to believe he'd work for Batman.

Furthermore, Raimi never had what you described. His films were cult classics, sure, but not hits with your "general audience" (and it may save time to establish that I don't give a damn about the general audience, except as far as it's required to earn sequels).

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I'd be happy with Vaughn or Marc Webb.

Vaughn seems like a comic book purist and Webb has a visual eye.

But the I hope they don't keep the same director for the next three movies like they did with Raimi. Get a different director for each movie.

 

[Catman]

But it's true though. Sony wants a puppet.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

So you've been in Sony's offices then? What are you a fly on their wall? Please, Catman.

 

[JP]

...wow.

 

[Deaths Head II]

Sony told Raimi he was just a hired gun. They were angry with Raimi because he wasn't being easy to micromanage, but you believe that now that they can pick any director they want that there is even a SLIGHT chance they will pick someone other then a puppet?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Do you guys honestly believe everything you hear? We have no way of knowing for sure what went on behind the scenes. You guys are way to certain of EVERYTHING. If that's the case, I've just looked up in the sky and the moon is made of cheese. Want me to slice you a piece of it?

 

[Deaths Head II]

We know Sony changed Raimi's original vision for S3 and we know there were problems behind the scenes for S4 because Raimi wanted creative control and the Sony heads kept trying to interject their ideas. Them calling him a hired gun would not be a gigantic shocker, it would just be supporting evidence for the obvious.

If you believe that there is even a chance they will go for someone with a vision for the franchise after the trouble Raimi put the Sony heads through over S4, then you're being delusional. If you want to be hopeful for the reboot, I think you better pray the studio heads at Sony know how to make a good movie.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I'm not arguing this with any of you any further, but if what you say happens, just know I'll be a bigger man than you will if by chance what I say happens. (Meaning I'll come out right and say I was wrong. Where as the rest of you will play along like you had faith in this reboot all along.)

 

[JP]

Oh, come off it Billy.

 

[JP]

 

[Jennifer Walters]

No you should all come off the stupids. You've all just gonna completely loco and are willing to believe anything that portrays Sony in a negative light, because that's what you WANT to believe, because you all have such hard ons for Raimi.
