Sony Seeking Slightly Older Spider-Kid

So peters parents will be in the movie

I HATE THIS REBOOT SO MUCH!!! USE THE SAME SCRIPT, LEAVE OUT THE ORIGINS PART, & EDIT THE OTHERS SO THAT IT CAN TAKE PLACE IN THE RAIMI UNIVERSE...

No to Ultimate Live action Spidey, Yes to animated Ultimate Spidey

@megabatfan- The Raimi universe was FINISHED. If they ahd continued, EVERYTHING would be messed up. And no-one has EVER said this will be an Ultimate adaption, Webb just said he liked the Ultimate series. This reboot will more than likley be better than all three of Raimi's movies. Already they're hiring top notch actors, all of which are far superiour to the actors of the previous franchise. Garfield acts rings around Maguire.

there trying to piggy back on the batman success by emphasizing how hes more like bruce wayne cause his parents died.

Why do you say the Raimi universe is finished? Apart from the pss poor treatment of Venom & New Goblin (CRAP)...I think it's possible to continue from there...
I think it's WAY too soon to reboot.
Friends of mine that aren't even CBM fans question " But didn't we just see Spider-man's origin story" That's because SM1 is still relevant.
As for Garfields acting ability. As long as these stories continue we should only want the actors taking over the role to do a better job than the last. Doesn't make the last person to take on the role any less of n actor. Personally I think Tobey CAN act. His Parker was a little too cry baby for my tastes. Does that make SM1 & 2 any worse? (Notice i didn't mention SM3)

in the Ultimate version isn't Peters biological father a scientist who discovered and studied the symbiote before in came in contact w/Peter? and Brock Sr. was helped Peters father?

I wouldn't say Raimi forgot about it. It's improbable for any director to showcase all parts of a character's back story in a 2 hr movie. He selected what parts of his life he wanted to tell for his take on the character. As will Webb. As will any other director to take over the reigns in years to come.

@megabatfan-Because everything ended. Harry died, Peter learned the truth about Uncle Ben's death. He rekindled his relationship with MJ, Venom died, Sandman was forgiven. Everything was done. It was a solid trilogy and the third wrapped everything up. There's no need for a continuation. Also, the contiunation we were going ot get was gonna suck. Vulture and the Vultress? Spidey knocking up MJ, the Black cat? Come on...that was entering Batman and Robin territory. A reboot was needed.

Just because it hasn't been 30 years doesn't mean it's too soon. The Incredible Hulk reboot came out only 5 years after the first one yet I don't hear anyone complain about that?

And who says we're going to see the origin? This young peter could reflect an important story element. If it does take any Ultimate refrence then it might refer to the symbiote storyline.

And Maguire can act, but he is nothing special. Where as garfield has already proved his diversity from being in things like Riding Hood to the lead in the drama Boy A. Garfield's performance have emotional depth outside of "whaaa it sucks being spider-man, whaaa mary jane whaa"

cool, but will we ever get a title?

@Ryden - Ok i get what you're saying about the story being finished & I agree. But hear this point of view. Star Wars can be broken down into two trilogies, the prequel being about the fall of Anakin & the original his redemption through his son becoming a Jedi. This is the approach I'm thinking towards not just Spider-man, but any successful comic book character. No need to reboot, just establish a new trilogy basically, but still within the established universe/ continuity. Just like the Bond movies basically which continue & continue, but have their own individual stories. Only from Casino Royale was it ever a reboot.
Like Nolan said, he wants to finish his story with TDKR. Which makes sense, finish that story arc (becoming the Batman & the consequences of it. The themes being fear for BB, escalation for TDK & i'm assuming redemption for TDKR)Reboot afterwards? NO! A fresh new trilogy that will deal with another story arc, but set in the same continuity. (probably taking on a side kick, the consequences of such...the trials of being a mentor)Just with another director & cast etc.
So going back to spidey, hell no do i want to see Raimi's vulture/ vulturess storyline. But the same story concerning the lizard can be adjusted to take place in the same continuity as Raimi's.

@megabatfan- But...why? If you realise that the Raimi trilogy had ended, then any sort of sequel in any form would not have made sense. The continuity would get screwed up. Reboots are nessasary sometimes when a certain franchiswe is going downhill, Spidey 3 received crappy reviews and they couldn't think of anything else to do with it. So they started again. I dwon't see what the problem is with that.

See I'd much prefer ONE director attached to a specific series of films, I'm not a fan of "continuations" because when we do get them they always end up like the Batman franchise, need I remind you of Batman Forever and Batman and Robin?

And to be honest, YES I'd love to see a Batman reboot after TDKR. Especially considering Nolan has said that it will definitley be the end, no more. And I'm glad, because when you bring on new directors to a franchise it takes away the feeling, and it scrtahces away at the continuity. Like to me Batman forever didn't feel like a sequel to Returns because it didn't have Burton's style, it's flare. The same would happen with Spidey or Bats. It would pretty much feel like a reboot anyway, the series at that point becomes, messy. Tainted.

We don't need a messy franchise.
