I think they need a new face after spiderman 3, they need a fresh look and these actors will try harder and get paid less cause they are not as well off or known of

makaveli21 · 05-28-2008, 01:27 PM

shouldn't the title of this thread have a question mark?

Flux88MPH · 05-28-2008, 04:44 PM

I'd take Fugit over Angarano in a heartbeat. If the cast and director are changing i think they should progressively transition to the Ben Reilly storyline of the Spider-man universe.

This would not only solve cast change issue but drive the plot progressively into new territory that has not already been visited and the possibility of us meeting Cletus Kassidy.

Carlsberg19 · 05-28-2008, 05:06 PM

I could never warm to Toby Maguires performance in any of the films, he it just how would you say..shit.

Another heartbreak. Whoever said it may have been a negotiation tactic probably had it right.

Columbia snares two more "Spider-Man" films
Saturday September 6 1:37 AM ET

Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi, star and director of the "Spider-Man" films, aim to spin more webs for Sony's Columbia Pictures.

The actor and director are said to be close to locking in a deal to return for the fourth and fifth installments of the studio's top-grossing franchise. The first three "Spider-Man" films have grossed $2.5 billion worldwide.

In hopes of containing costs, Columbia is considering shooting the films back-to-back starting in fall 2009, much like New Line did with "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which filmed simultaneously for 274 days.

Producer Laura Ziskin had said she would like to aim for a May 2011 release for "Spider-Man 4," nine years after the original movie's debut. Jamie Vanderbilt ("Zodiac") is writing the screenplay.

Although there has been speculation whether Maguire would return to play Peter Parker, the studio said there was no question he would be back.

"The studio never considered any other actor. Tobey was our only choice and the only person we've discussed the role with," Sony spokesman Steve Elzer said.

The studio declined comment on which villains might appear in the next two films or whether Kirsten Dunst would reprise her role as Mary Jane Watson.

Sony also has stepped up development of the "Spider-Man" spin-off "Venom," first recruiting writer Jacob Estes to draft a script and recently bringing in scribes Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, who penned "Zombieland" for the studio.

Topher Grace played Venom in "Spider-Man 3," but it's unclear whether Sony would cast him for the "Venom" feature or bring in new talent.

I just hope Kirsten Dunst doesn't return. I can't stand her or the way she portrays Mary Jane.

SGRSBSKIER · 09-06-2008, 10:40 PM

I am tired of Tobey Maguire as well.

It would be nice if they used Marvel's input more and somehow got a deal to use other Marvel characters in the movies in exchange for Marvel being able to use Spiderman in theirs.

ralphoutloud · 09-06-2008, 10:53 PM

Sony already announced 4, 5, and 6 in 2007 after Spiderman 3 was done at the box office.

Old news.

Blurayfan88 · 09-06-2008, 11:50 PM

um...no they didnt. There's a big difference between unjustified speculation and signing a done deal. There was also a lot of speculation as to whether sam raimi would return to direct, or just produce, but it looks like he IS coming back to direct the feature films as well as Tobey Mcguire reprising his role as peter parker.

apollo92178 · 09-06-2008, 11:56 PM

Oh man, If those two are involved, stand by for more crap!!! Can people at Sony say Spider-man begins or do some other type of reboot? The only one that worth anything is Spider-man 2. The first one had a crappy villian design, the third should be use by film student as an example of how not to make a film!!!

Sith · 09-07-2008, 12:51 AM

Please don't cast horse face Dunst again

Clark Kent · 09-07-2008, 11:50 PM

I'm not that big a fan either of Kirsten Dunst's work in the Spider-Man movies but due to the success those movies have had at the box office the studio will not dump her. It is that simple.

I agree. It's too bad. It's too bad they botched the Gwen Stacey story line. It would've been a good way to bring in another love interest. Tobey McGuire didn't have any chemistry with either of the actresses they've used.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 09-08-2008, 02:01 AM

I've never cared for Spiderman, so if there are two more coming, oh well. I wouldn't mind watching more Superman movies.
