More Spider-Man Reboot Details?
To concentrate on the "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics?
|
Yesterday, Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios confirmed that (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb is going to direct the Spider-Man reboot. In reporting on the news, the Risky Business blog has some possible more details on the project:
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. Please keep in mind that none of this is confirmed and we may not know for sure until closer to release. Stay tuned for more announcements as they come in... Source: Risky Business

This could be really good!
I mean, Ultimate Spider-Man is one of the best Spider-Man out there, maybe not comic-vise but Spidey-vise.
I remember when Ultimate Spidey faught Ultimate Kingpin, the fat jokes NEVER stopped :D Report Abuse

Ultimate Spidey was a great series at times, but please don't pile on the teenage angst in the movie. That will ruin it completely. Report Abuse
