Yeah. The fourth film has been canceled in favor of plans to reboot the series in 2012, where they'll tell the story of Peter Parker gaining his powers while in high school... Sound familiar?
Webb, who has options on two sequels, will now tackle a Jamie Vanderbilt script that sees a “Spider-Man” movie that will look and feel very different from the big movies that went before it.
The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.
The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.
im gonna hold out and hope for the best (spidey is my faggishly favorite comic). Loved the first two spiderman movies, and wanted to blow my brains out in the theater during the third.
maybe with this new interconnected marvel universe thats being spun with the avengers flicks, we might get some spiderman crossover action too.
while they are at it; reboot X-MEN. it sucks worse and worse with each se/prequel.
Unless that rock soundtrack is done by David Bowie.
I've had an idea brewing of taking a few iconic films and their directors and screenwriters and having them remake each others films. Maybe even just have them redo a few scenes and show what they would do different.
Quentin Tarantino (any of em, preferably Inglorious Basterds, mainly I'd like to see a Tarantino Star Wars)
George Lucas (Star Wars)
Stephen Spielberg (Close Encounters or maybe even Saving Private Ryan or possible Indiana Jones)
Ridley Scott (Alien)
James Cameron (T2)
I saw a preview for this, and about fell out of the chair, Robinhood 2010 with Russell Crow??? I thought I kept up on what was due out but this came out of nowhere? Not that it might not be decent, do we need ANOTHER Robinhood movie? From the looks of it he has the same haircut as Gladiator and the battle scenes looked like the opening of Gladitator... who knows, just seems like they could have passed this up for something else.
"Long Live the Fighters", "Dragon.....the other white meat."

Russel Crow sadly has been exploited since the success of Gladiator for machismo action roles. Since the advent of 300, they need to use Gerard Butler for those sort of films(don't get me wrong, 300 ROCKS).

This one has been rumbling on for years. They were ready to start filming about 2 years ago, but it got shut down - because the trees were the wrong colour.
The trailer looks decent and I've always got time for a good story well told... but this one has had so many false starts, I can't imagine the end result being very good.

Wow, my generation is officially being targeted with those video game movies. Here's hoping we're smart enough to stay away (I know one of us who is, at the very least ...)
Hollywood is creatively bankrupt. No one there is even trying any more. If it weren't for his smug-asshole-who-pisses-people-off-in-about-20-seconds personality, TheKJA could probably make a killing there.
