Gary Ross re-writing Spiderman 4
Writer/Director Gary Ross has been picked to re-write the script for Spiderman 4. Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are set to return to the popular movie franchise and let’s hope Ross does a good job! I wasn’t pleased with the last Spiderman movie and thought it sucked pretty much. As well as Gary Ross, James Vanderbilt and David Lindsay-Abaire have been writing the screenplay. If they can’t come up with a good script with 3 people, then there’s something wrong here.
Ross and Maguire have worked together before, including Pleasantville and Seabiscuit. Besides Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst is believed to be coming back for the movie as well. Not sure who else will be featured in the movie. There’s lots of speculation on who will be the next villain or villains in Spiderman 4. Some same it will be the Lizard, others think Kraven the Hunter, Vulture, or Electro. Let’s just hope that Emo Spidey stays out of the 4th film!

Sam Raimi should just pass the torch already and let someone else do a spider-man movie. I was never a big Raimi fan and also never thought he was right for spider-man. There are very few films I like by him. Sure he did the 2 evil dead movies and then you have the spider-man movies but that’s really all he’s got. Every other movie he did is forgettable. Also, while everyone loved the first spider-man movie, I was really disappointed by that one, especially how the whole green goblin thing was handled. Only one good spider-man movie and that is spider-man 2. It would be very hard to do a good spider-man movie at this point unless they rebooted it. The next movie is said to possibly up to 6 villains, most of which would be low grade but classic spidey villains since spider-man may be battling the Sinister Six. That would be Overkill in Raimi’s hands. They shouldn’t even do the planned Venom movie. You can tell a mile away that a Venom movie would suck. Anyway, the only thing that can energize the comic movie genre at this point is the next batch of comic movies that will tie into the Avengers movie. So here is hoping that the Thor and Captain America movies will rock.
Yeah I agree in that Sam Raimi should do something else at this point. The franchise needs someone like Peter Jackson or Del Toro or Chris Nolan to reboot the franchise and take a different approach with it.
I hope those DC comics movies are worth seeing and not something crappy like Daredevil or something
Del Toro was the passed the torch briefly for Blade 2 and that movie rocked especially since he threw in a sqaud of vampire commandos!
As far as DC comic movies go, definitely catch Watchmen. The director’s cut is coming out in 2 weeks. Fucking awesome movie. Critics who didn’t like watchmen were the critics who liked average comic movies. One of the best comic adaptations made.
I got the Watchmen director’s cut DVD now but haven’t seen it yet. I’ll watch it with an open mind and see if I like it. Based on trailer and commercials, it looked like slow-mo shit
There are slow motion scenes especially in the first scene but they are not shown entirely throughout the movie. you shouldn’t let that bother you even though your anal about such things. lol. The plot, characters, and production itself is what makes the movie. the cast is really good too. The opening credits scene sums up why the movie is awesome. Watch it soon and write a review. I’ll definitely read that one to see what you thought about it.
Bryan, let me know if you plan on selling the Watchmen DVD – maybe I’ll buy it from you!
If it sucks, I’ll definitely sell it to you.
Just watch it already so you can give it to Adam. Lol. naw seriously though, this one is better than V for Vendetta.
