NEW Spider-Man 3 Trailer

tbh I always thought Maguire was horribly miscast myself

oh man Cronenberg would have a field day with all the body issues and gooey substances and transformations/mutations - MAKE IT SO

I think he'd rather spend his 60s and 70s doing films for adults.

like comic book adaptations ("a history of violence") and gangster movies ("eastern promises")?

you mean like the COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION History of Violence

oh snaps

Marc Webb, the (500) Days Of Summer director, has climbed to the top of the Sony Pictures' list to rebirth the Spider-Man franchise. While the studio has a wish list of star directors like James Cameron, David Fincher, and Wes Anderson, the emergence of Webb as director comes as a huge surprise. But Mike Fleming's sources tell him Webb met about the Spidey reboot with the pic's producers and executives looking to get the picture into production later this year for a Summer 2012 release. Why will the pic take so long? Because it's likely to be shot in 3-D, and Sony Pictures plans to make an announcement about that "at the appropriate time".

I probably would have seen Anderson or Fincher's take on tween spidey. But no surprise at them going for a guy who will likely give them everything they ask for on the thing.

The hazy ideas I'm getting off a Wes Anderson-helmed Spider Man franchise is complete lols.

they're not just going for the guy called 'webb', then?

Static shots & slo-mo capture the thrill of webslinging quite adequately I'd say. (xpost)

The idea of Wes Anderson being on a studio "wish list" for a 3-D Spider-man movie is just insane

lots of shots of depressed peter parker staring into the camera

Schwartzmann as Parker obv.

Upsidedown kiss scene lasts ten minutes, no actual kiss.

The funeral at the end of Spider-man 1 is sort of like the end of the Royal Tenenbaums. Surely that's what got the wheels in motion.

Willem Dafoe plays a guy threatened by the appearance of a new young favored son type. Hey wait.

My good friend Prussian Sunsets will be doing a take on Wes Anderson's Spider-man. He previously did two rather good X-Men and 'Superman Meets Soulja Boy' vids

It would be the most horrible trainwreck of a movie, but would be so funny that it would be worth it.

Wes Anderson's Spider-Man

Wes Craven's Spider Man.

(Would rather see this ^^^^)

Love that Wolverine green-skeen sketch, was just watching it again the other day

Teenage Spiderman? doubtlessly will be the Twilight boy w/ the waffle-iron abs.

Ha! That's awesome.

And look who's on board with it

ha came here to post this

The spider-man video was inspired, of course, by the riffing that went on upthread many months ago.

Okay, I am sooooo down with this. Kind of funny how it all blew up from nothing to something in just a blink.

Derrick Comedy member and star of NBC’s Community Donald Glover has started a campaign on twitter to get an audition for the role of Peter Parker in Marc Webb’s 3D Spider-Man Reboot. The comic actor is encouraging fans/followers to retweet the hash tag #donald4spiderman.

At the exact moment I’m publishing this article on Sunday night, the #donald4spiderman tag is popping up on over 100 new tweets every 60 seconds.Seems like a lot of people on the internets think its an inspired idea. Someone has even created a Donald Glover for Spider-Man Facebook fanpage.

I’ll admit, even if Sony or Webb are listening, I find it doubtful they would consider such a radically fresh new direction for this superhero franchise. But since the suggestion is gaining so much traction on the social web, I thought I’d throw the question out to the /Film readers: Would you like to see Don Glover play the new Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot? Leave your thoughts in the comments below

The drag about this is how many people are openly admitting that they believe Spider-Man should never be played by a black actor no way no how no when. As was argued by myself and several other people in the Slashfilm comments, if there's ANY comic book superhero who could stand a race change without missing a beat, it would be Spider-Man. And if you're going to reimagine Spider-Man in such a bold fashion, Donald Glover is an absolutely perfect choice.

I always like Gene Siskel's idea of Denzel Washington playing James Bond (if he could handle the accent of course).

Denzel's way too old now, but Idris Elba would rock a license to kill.

Denzel's Saff Lahndaan accent was pretty good in some movie clip I saw once (he was very young, but I don't know the flick).

'for queen and country' iirc

hah troy shd definitely be spiderman

and abed batman

"And if you're going to reimagine Spider-Man in such a bold fashion, Donald Glover is an absolutely perfect choice."

Tracy Morgan is more dynamic in 3D and more convincing as a teen nerd/better with off-the-cuff mid-fight chatter. Also he looks better than Glover in glasses and in superhero tights.
Donald Glover would be better as Rory Gilmore, if they were going to remake Gilmore Girls with black people.

uh Donald Glover is way closer to/can convincingly play the age of the character, unlike TM.

tracy morgan convincing as a teen nerd? really?

just imagine them both with glasses on.
