Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
Well, that's legitimate I think. Personally, I would be fine with no MJ involved at all, but if that's what you guys all want, then I hope that's what you end up getting. Just do Spidey right, and I'll be a happy camper.

I think thats how we all feel

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
If they are smart they'll introduce Gwen since that is who Pete's first actual love is AND Mary Jane but as a buddy. Pull a little creative license and pull her into high school instead of at Empire State University where he first met her. Then use Doctor Octopus, have Captain Stacey get killed by falling debris from the battle which involved Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. Gwen blames Spider-Man for that event, which sets back their relationship for a while in books it could create the personal "hell" that Peter has while not using the damsel in the distress angle but still have it be powerful. Then intro Mary Jane as a possible love interest in the second creating a mini love triangle, kill her off using the Green Goblin then have Mary Jane console to create more humanistic tones...
Just MHO.

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
Yeah, it would be tough to present any realistic portrayal of a teenage boy without a female involved somewhere along the way. Plus, Spidey has always had women around, be it Betty Brant, Gwen Stacy, or MJ, and they always played an important part in the comics. . .but having said all that, I could live with them downplaying the romantic drama at the expense of more super villain fighting.

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
but if you get rid of the so called love drama\triangle\Angst, and soley concentrate on action ( which would be cooler) your gonna lose the whole tween\teen female audience and i don't think Sony wants to cut it's audience in half.

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
Yeah I kinda like 3D movies but it has to be a good movie first and foremost like you said. I rather watch a good 2D movie than a crap 3D one.

Brian Bendis Meets With 'Spider-Man' Movie Team
Posted 1 hr ago by Caleb Goellner in Marvel, News
Ever since new "Spider-Man" director Mark Webb opened up to MTV News about his appreciation for "Ultimate Spider-Man" less than 48 hours before getting the gig, fans have been wondering just how influential Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley's work could be on the future of the film franchise.
Well, Bendis added fuel to the speculation this afternoon when he posted on Twitter, "Just spent a very interesting morning at Sony with the entire spidey movie team!! Very very cool stuff!!"
Even though the writer's message doesn't necessarily spell out an "Ultimate" adaptation, Bendis' role in shaping Marvel's "Iron Man" and the upcoming "Thor" (along with Hollywood adaptations of his creator-owned content) certainly adds weight to the notion that his long-running series could provide source material for the big-screen "Spider-Man." Between Zac Efron's attachment to "Fire," the "Powers" television series picking up steam and his continued role as an architect of the Marvel Comics universe, it's no secret that Bendis has Hollywood's eye.
As it stands, the film's key roles remain up in the air. Webb's "(500) Days of Summer" star Joseph Gordon-Levitt and recently announced "Stretch Armstrong" star Taylor Lautner seem less likely, while actors like Efron and Logan Lerman of "Percy Jackson" have more recently gone under the microscope for the role of Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter ego.
Whoever Sony finds to don Spidey's threads down the road, fans of one of Spidey's most successful comic book interpretations to date can at least take comfort from knowing the studio is likely considering an "Ultimate" approach to its cinematic storytelling. Either way, fans will find out when the 3-D film opens July 3, 2012.
What do you think of a more "Ultimate" Spider-Man spinning webs in theaters? Let us know what you think in the comment section or on Twitter!

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
To me this is unneeded. Spidey had 3 good flicks...and some heroes still haven't had one decent one yet. Poor form Jack, poor form.

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
Of course it was unneeded, but it is what it is now. And fans of the franchise can only hope for the best.
(Of course some would argue that it had 2 good flicks)

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
No kidding. Corporate greed sucks! Controllable cheaper director, budget cuts and casting unknowns. Even if their gamble does pay of it still boils down to them wanting to make more money vs. producing a good movie.

Todd McFarlane On The 'Spider-Man' Reboot, Venom, And The 'Diminishing Return' Of Movie Franchises
Posted 3 hrs ago by Rick Marshall in Marvel, Video
Spawn might be Todd McFarlane's most famous solo creation, but it was his work on Spider-Man that first made the veteran creator a superstar in the comics world.
Knowing that he's spent much of his career navigating between the comics world and Hollywood, we tracked down McFarlane at Toy Fair 2010 to get his take on the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot, why it happened, and what he hopes to see when the webslinger returns to the big screen.
"I'm going to take a guess that the reboot is driven mostly by business and economics," McFarlane told MTV News. "There's a bit of a diminishing return on movies."
"You go, 'Look we can spend $300 million on this movie and make $500 million at the box office, or we can spend $120 [million] and make $500 million," he explained. "We have a built-in audience that's going to come, even if all they're coming for is to say, 'This cant be as good because the budget isn't quite as big.' They're still going to come."
Given his dealings with the Hollywood machine in past and future incarnations of "Spawn," multiple music videos, and various lines of licensed toys (among other projects), McFarlane offered up a few more thoughts on the mindset behind the high-profile relaunch of Spider-Man.
"I think the studios are looking for ways to get people in the seats and still do enough 'Wow!' moments, [but] not have it be for the full two hours," he said. "It doesn't have to be special effects ad nauseum for two hours. If you pace it out right, you can still tell a good story with good visuals, keep your budget in and arguably make the same money you made before."
As for what he'd like to see in the film?
"I'd like to see Venom back, as someone who co-created him," he smiled. "I would've always made him bigger and hunched over, make him a little more formidable. He's a little more Hulk-ish to me, not just a guy who's been to the gym."
"I always think that when you have a hero, the bad guy should be very tough in terms of the battle, and not necessarily a contemporary," he added. "That's too easy. It should be somebody that makes you go, 'Wow! They're five times stronger, five times bigger — how is the hero ever going to beat them up?'"
"But they're not asking me to do any directing or character designing right now," he laughed.

Re: Spider-Man: The Reboot!
OMG the thought of TMcF directing... A FREAKIN MOVIE...
some might think it could work...?
NO IT COULDN'T... if the guy can't articulate his action figures... I rest my case!
VISION PEOPLE... vision...(sob)
Whoh boy.... let's see what happens....
I do get tired of origin stories in superhero films though, so I'm hoping they jump right into the action.
