They sang "I need a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler. That was the only time I ever barfed at an amusement park - Bob "the Goon" Guccione, Jr. Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:57:54 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602735 Spider-Man as a musical sounds pretty lame. I'm guessing she got out while she could. - Lance Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:00:15 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602737 LINDSEY ELISE FOR MARY JANE WATSON!!!! - LucaS!

If SpiderMan is anything like either of those, then noone will get it except a few nancy boys and the girl scouts. - Jambo Laya Fri, 12 Mar 2010 08:16:17 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602741 Already saw this at Universal studios hollywood a few years back - nobody Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:17:53 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602743 Jesus Christ Superstar, Amadeus, Die Dreigroschenoper but you think musical = crap Maybe you like Transfomers 2 so you are... - Billy Wilder Thu, 11 Mar 2010 20:16:44 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602745 Superman was revisited 19 years after Superman IV, largely due to the studios and fans feeling that Christopher Reeve was irreplaceable. Don't forget, a fifth film WAS set to be filmed, starring Christopher Reeve. Then the studio (WB) bought the rights to the character from the Salkinds (who were responsible for the disastrous third and fourth movies) and planned a hokey sequel very loosely based off of the Death of Superman arc which had just wrapped in the comics at the time. Christopher Reeve had his tragic accident in 95, leaving everyone without a Superman. At this point, obviously, the project sat in development hell, with the worst script of all, "Superman Lives" written by Kevin Smith and producer Jon Peters, which is just too terrible to describe. Essentially, Superman was going to be remade into a character COMPLETELY different from the comics, and casting choices ranged from Will Smith, Ben Affleck, to Nicolas Cage to re-invent Superman. It's like, after Christopher Reeve was unable to play Superman, everyone lost their minds. Two years after his death, Bryan Singer made a sleeper homage to the Donner-verse films. We had nearly 20 years between Superman IV and Superman Returns, but if the producers had their way, we wouldn't have waited half the time, and the movie would have been the WORST comic book movie of all time. Now it looks like everything is going to be redone again, with Nolan and Goyer writing the script for "Man of Steel". Just a bit of history, in case you were wondering. We had the Spider-man trilogy spread over five years, with the third film released in 2007. Right now, it's a couple months short of three years, but by 2012, feelings might pass a bit. Will they be able to show us something we haven't seen before? I believe so. We still haven't seen the webshooters, and we only got a brief glimpse in each movie of Peter as a scientist rather than a socially awkward photographer who has alienated himself from his only two friends since high school. It was fun, but it wasn't definite. There really is SO much potential in rebooting a movie, exploring relationships between villains, coworkers, teachers, and classmates, without having to work around the restrictions that Sam Raimi wrote for his universe. Imagine Doc Ock having a mind of his own, considering he is a criminal MASTERMIND in the comics. Imagine the Sandman actually making effective use of his shape-shifting abilities (which really got me, considering he can take any form he wants in the comics). Imagine Spider-man clearing the streets of a bunch of super-powered villains who have absolutely zero connection to Peter Parker. - Shayera Thu, 11 Mar 2010 14:29:51 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602747 nelson, you seem to be with about 99% of the rest of superhero fans on the subject. How are they going to start all over and give people a movie they've never seen before and still stay true to the character. If there trying to emulate the Ultimate Spider-Man comics, then they should really take a look at the sales numbers on that crap. Noone reads it. I really want to see a 3D Spidey film, but this is the wrong way to go about it. - murph Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:59:41 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602749 i've had butt secks with Evan Rachel Wood. don't every little good girl do? - What the hell?

I've never been a Broadway type of person, but Ms. Taymor UTTERLY blew my mind with her Broadway version of The Lion King. I actually think it's better than the Disney film, and it's my favorite Disney film. It's because of that show that I even saw Across the Universe, which was (IMO) another amazing piece of work. So with all that, I'm really excited to see what she does with Spider-Man. - Zach Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:47:02 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602755 lol when is my movie coming out. Princess of power!!

Yo Go Girl! - Gary Colon Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:55:45 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602759 Um, senorashish, actually - in regards to Spider-Man's Mythology - he pretty much was the original comic version of Dawson's Creek; i.e. the first super-hero with real problems (like girlfriends, bills, and a sick aunt). That's what made him stand out in the beginning. I have no problem with the love story, so long as it's not taking up every friggin moment of the film's plot. Where's Aunt May's hospital visits?! She had one in the first flick, and that was only because Gobby scared her. OOOOOH!!! Anyway, more on topic, Universal Studios Hollywood once had a Spider-Man Musical show. I went to it once because my kid and nephew wanted to see it. It was awful!! We left halfway through, because the KIDS wanted to!! Granted, it was an amusement park attraction - not a Broadway effort - but even still... watching that crap and the singing... it was truly disconcerting. - ten_sixth Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:57:50 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602761 Spider-Man Musical? THATS QUEER. - Metal Doughnuts Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:26:16 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602763 Who the hell is going to see this stupid Broadway show? I mean, seriously, Spider-Man singing and dancing, and Green Goblin doing much the same? Oy. This sounds so eye-coveringly bad that it makes me cringe just thinking about it. It's like watching that scene in "Across The Universe" in which you have Bono channeling a homeless man channeling Robin Williams channeling back to Bono again. And the extreme close up of his face and him saying "Koo-Koo-Katchoo!" was just... yeah. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! FUNNY! And why is Marvel so hellbent on turning Spider-Man into just another superhero version of "Dawson's Creek"? I mean, from the announcement for the reboot to this and the past Spider-Man films, I think people have to realize that the Spider-Man mythology was never centered around the ups and downs of Peter's lover life. There were actual villains with plots and stories that engaged the hero rather than having comic book after comic book of sappy romance with random villains popping up with no reason or purpose like the movies. - senorashish Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:41:04 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602765 gonna be a great show!! - wakigo Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:28:33 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602767 hey as long as that troll Kirsten Dumbass isnt MJ in the next movie, im fine. - Switzerland Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:47:50 +0100 http://www.superherohype.com/features/articles/100337-wood-exits-spider-man-broadway-show#comment-602769 Good for her!
