Sony Hates "The Amazing Spiderman"
(latino-review.com) Sometimes there are legitimate reasons for rewrites and other times it just seems like someone (director, producer, etc.) wants thier own tastes added to the screenplay. Well, that isn’t the case with The Amazing Spider-man 2, or whatever they’re going to call it.
Badass Digest reported Sony’s reasons today. Apparently they hate The Amazing Sipder-man. Yep, the suits think its terrible and they don’t want they guy who wrote it to write the next installment.
So why did they hire Orci and Kurtzman? Very simple: They write hit movies. Just take a look at they’re resume. It includes movies like the Transformers franchise, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible III.
Where does this leave The Amazing Spider-man director Mark Webb? Who knows? If the movie is as bad as Sony seems to think it is, it can’t solely be blamed on the script, can it? I would think Webb bears some responsibility.
Or course, none of this means anything if the movie is a hit, which it probably will be. At this point I think it’s pretty safe to say Spider-man is critic proof. Even the much derided Spider-man 3 grossed over $300 million domestically.

That's Hollywood, I guess. But I'd love to know what it is that they hate about it.
I wonder, though... in the wake of Dark Knight, studio heads all wanted "broody" superhero movies (despite the public success of the less-broody Marvel movies showing the public wants *good* superhero movies, not specifically broody ones). Amazing Spidey looks pretty broody, if the trailers are to be believed. Maybe like in the comics, broody movie Spidey isn't fun Spidey. We'll see, I guess.
And of course, as he gets older, he becomes a bit more well-adjusted as most people do, but this movie isn't about a grown-up Peter Parker (even if they've got an adult playing the part).
Can't say I blame them.
Also, can we please see a superhero movie where the hero's identity starts off as a secret to everyone, and then by the end, is still a secret to everyone? Just for fun?
But originally when they were considering Heath Ledger before Tobey they were going to design the mask to show the face but Raimi said no. Obviously they found a way around that.
I think that so long as JJJ is driving it, that would be just fine!
Spider-Man: Threat or Menace?
*As this was post number 420, I felt obligated to add the "Dude."
I like how the new costume has that "biomechanic" feel to it. The structure looks "sticky" - thus more "spidery" than the old one.
Andrew Garfield is perfect for the role (as was Tobey McGuire). I so look forward to this movie.
Maybe SONY does hate the movie because it's not compatible with the games....
