Having now seen the costume proper, I'm less worried about this movie.

So, Spidey reboot; any thoughts, guys?

EDIT: sauce

Kugai · « **Reply #1 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 13:38 »

Jury's still out on this one I think.

Costume looks ok though.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #2 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 13:56 »

that....seems weirdly appropriate

i'm still not sure about this one but i'm definitely looking forward to it since i'm a huge spiderman nerd. the costume looks great and the actor certainly looks skinny enough to pull of the character. tentatively excited

His head looks like a basketball.

Tom · « **Reply #4 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 14:29 »

He probably needs another haircut.

I just realised that no one is going to get that joke.

JD · « **Reply #5 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 15:39 »

Far too early for a reboot.

JD · « **Reply #6 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 15:40 »

Wait until I get to my late twenties then I'll be more enthusiastic about it.

Inlander · « **Reply #7 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 15:56 »

Wait, the director's name is Marc Webb?

Teeheehee!

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #8 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 15:58 »

maybe he's the real spiderman and this movie isn't a reboot after all, it's actually a biography

Tom · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 16:01 »

In DVD/film write-ups he shall forever be referred to as Webb of Spider-Man

I'm just in love with Andrew so um, you know, kanyeshrug

Dimmukane · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 16:54 »

Yeah, Andrew's got chops, so I'm not worried about a shitty actor as much as a shitty script. Don't have a clue who's writing, though.

scarred · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 17:05 »

rebooting a franchise that's less than a decade dead is stupid, but Raimi hate pisses me off. it wasn't his fault that the studio forced him into including like 3475645 villains in the third movie.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #13 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 17:12 »

well i think alot of people were already put off enough just by Raimi's style (which is admittedly really weird) in the first place, so that by the time they shit-fucked the third one into oblivion alot of people couldn't take it anymore.

i say it's all worth it though because in the end we got that ridiculous dance scene out of it and that scene will stand the test of time and make people go "what the fuck did i just watch?" for many years to come

JD · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 17:26 »

Additionally I have never heard of this Garfield guy but apparently he was in Lions for Lambs? Rad

Dimmukane · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Feb 2011, 18:39 »

He was also in The Social Network and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (otherwise known as Heath Ledger's Last Movie).

Quote from: That Article linked in the OP

James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves

Vanderbilt wrote the screenplay for Zodiac, Sargent did Spider-man 2 and 3 and Kloves has done most of, if not all, the Harry Potter films.

Ikrik · « **Reply #17 on:** 15 Feb 2011, 15:32 »

Garfield was also in Boy A, if you want a film to show that he's an incredible actor that would be the one I would suggest.

The second I heard that Raimi was not getting to do another Spider-Man movie, I cheered. When I heard that Kirsten and Tobey were out, I cheered yet again. Having Webb and Garfield do it, I have nothing but high expectations.

My fears are pretty much eliminated.

Liz · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Feb 2011, 15:57 »

Dude is pretty hot.

Will probably see this film.

Jimmy the Squid · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Feb 2011, 16:10 »

I dunno, I'm not sold on Kloves and I haven't seen Zodiac. I find the Harry Potter films' scripts to be a little on the nose? Maybe that's just coupled with the main actors not really coming into their own as actors until like, the most recent 3ish films.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #22 on:** 15 Feb 2011, 16:36 »

I'm of the mind that it's the second bit. If those parts were played by Kodi Smit-Mcphee (spelling? the kid from The Road), Chloe Moretz and Haley Joel Osmont with his hair dyed red, I think the movies would've been noticeably better. I'm not knocking on the actors as they are now, but they weren't all that great when they were younger. In any case, Zodiac was a Fincher movie, so the script was probably pretty damn good.

Inlander · « **Reply #23 on:** 15 Feb 2011, 18:58 »

Zodiac is probably one of the best American movies of the last decade, and easily Fincher's best film.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #24 on:** 16 Feb 2011, 20:43 »

Yeah Zodiac was fantastic, see it if you get the chance.

Prop suit looks like it was designed by Reebok, if you've seen the photos.

Also there are some pretty awkward-looking photos around the internet of them doing... wierd poses, if you're into that sort of thing.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #26 on:** 23 Mar 2011, 08:07 »

They need to cast Jesse Eisenberg as someone. I really don't care who.

Blyss · « **Reply #27 on:** 23 Mar 2011, 08:25 »

Well, they're only slightly behind how quickly Spiderman gets rebooted as an animated series, so why the hell not I guess?

Does leave a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth, to be honest, but not like that's going to stop anyone from doing it...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #28 on:** 23 Mar 2011, 10:15 »

I don't see why people think this is a fast reboot. I mean, look at the Hulk:

2003: Hulk (Bana)
2008: The Incredible Hulk (Norton)
2011: The Avengers (Ruffalo)

Hell, even Batman only took 16 years to go from Burton to Begins, and if they had it done it sooner, we wouldn't have had to deal with Batnipples.

So we should call it a NAT?
