Sony Says Spider-Man Reboot Humbles Them!

Sony Says Spider-Man Reboot Humbles Them!

But a good humbled different opposed to a bad humbled different.

Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia pictures, told THR that the studio has to focus on good story telling rather then technology they have at their disposal. Which is def a step in the right direction.

How many times have you heard fans complain of studios putting to much into special effects and relying on them to deliver and make the film solid? Too many that's how many times. At least Matt sees this flaw and is trying not to let this mind set permeate and screw up the newly rebooted Spider-Man franchise.

Marc Webb is set to direct with James Vanderbilt writing the script. Matt Tomach went on to further say this is "Peter Parker told differently. We're humbled by it,"

Whether or not fans are humbled remains to be seen.

Hopefully this movie will be good. I didn't mind the first 2 with Tobey, but I can't stop em from rebooting, so let's all hope it'll be excellent.

Humble my ass. Sony's making this tween, high school spidey film to cash in on the Miley Cyrus/Twilight generation. That's it.

Hmmm...that remains to be seen. Spider-Man is my favourite comic book character and the thought of this high school reboot really doesnt sit right with me! Still, it will be nice to see him back on the big screen regardless of what incarnation they're going with! Hopefully, this movie will be more Lee/Ditko than Bendis/Bagley! :P

@MTL

Yes, I am quite aware. However, as Peter Parker's origin has already been explained in the first spiderman movie, It would seem redundant to put the character back in high school and start all over again. An entire movie doesn't have to take place in that period of Peter Parker's life.

Has anyone thought that the whole high school thing might be just to confuse people.Slight of hand,make you think one way but go another.Or it will be based on ultimate spidy which seemed kind of young anyway.

"Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia pictures, told THR that the studio has to focus on good story telling rather then technology they have at their disposal. Which is def a step in the right direction."

Just like I said for Chris Evans when he talked about his sleepless nights. At least they're taking the right approach. I know I've been on like a broken record about this reboot, but it does seem like it's shaping up. Now all I'm waiting for is the announcement that they're NOT doing it in 3D and I'll have absolutely no complaints.

In response to MTL's post. Sony's already stated it's not going to be a retelling of an origin story. (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/reillyparker/news/?a=13970) They realize it's already been told, and it would be redundant to tell it again. I'm hoping they'll have Goblin popping in throughout the movie series until he's a main baddie, and in that movie flashback to Peter's origin (In ultimate spider-man Osborne pretty much knew from the get go that Peter was Spider-Man since he had a direct effect on the accident that gave him his powers.) It would be an interesting way to go about things.

P.S. not pimping my article, it just seems that many people are still unaware that the reboot is not an origin story.

@MTL

Fair enough. The origin story can be done like the T.V. show or like TIH, but putting peter back in high school, seems like a step back instead of forward. It doesn't help that they've got the 500 days of summer guy to direct it. With the overall high school tone, and director, I think it's fair to assume that sony is pandering towards a younger audience.

Jake Gyllenhaal? Are you serious? Tobey McGuire didnt screw Spiderman up enough so now you want his best friend? C'mon people.

superbatspiderman - 4/29/2010, 3:49 PM
I still am angry at how they are rebooting a successful movie series I just want them to bring Toby back and do a 4th one and pretend 3 never happened plus 3 wasn't that bad.
deraj36
deraj36 - 4/29/2010, 4:05 PM
But the special effects in the Spider-man movies are awesome. I don't think they ever took over.

3 wasn't great but I don't think that's because of the special effects.
