Spiderman, Rebooted

[Pak-Man]

Doesn't he give birth to Spidergirl in an alternate Marvel future or something?

Ah well, I enjoyed most of the trilogy, and in the case of 3 at least it made a good Rifftrax, but I'm curious what they can do starting fresh.  Maybe they can build to a good Venom story this way.

They should have made Harry into Venom.  I know, it goes against the comic books, but really, is it any worse than having him ride a flying skateboard and immediately side with Spiderman?  Or having a character show up, decide to hate Spiderman, and then die in under 15 minutes?

I agree with a reboot, though.  Spiderman 1 and 2 were great, but I really felt that Spiderman 3 crapped all over the franchise and delivered it to an unreturnable hell, even accounting for the "Third part of a trilogy is always terrible" idea.

So Marc Webb...

If it happens, what do you think? His direction of (500) Days was awesome. I've no doubt he'd handle the characters w/ great care, but as for the action sequences, eek! It's some step up, but give it to him, Sony! He's good people!!

...and please, no tying of anything Spidey to Wes Anderson ever again. Thanks!

i09 has Nimrod Antal, the director of the upcoming Predators, the underappreciated Armored and the awesome Kontroll, as Sam Raimi's first choice.   They've already got a working relationship since Raimi hired him for Armored.

Wow, I would be totally onboard w/ Antal. That would rock!

Looks like it's going to be Marc Webb, RAD.  I agree with you that he's got a good grasp of handling character relationships.  And I'm actually not too worried about the action sequences because as a video director he's got some idea of the nature of a self-contained set piece.  Besides, quick cuts and fancy camera tricks come with the territory of video directing.

Quick cuts and camera tricks are the antithesis of a good action sequence.

That is why 95% of today's action movies suck.  You can't tell what is going on,who is who,and who is winning.

Late to the discussion but I will summarize my thoughts.

Yay for reboot, Felicia Hardy not being Black Cat and becoming the "Vulturess" was retarded and a great way to turn an already wary fan base against you, Marc Webb is an awesome choice to direct it
