The internet is abuzz with new details about Marc Webb’s Spiderman adaptation..that happened because Sony didn’t want to wait on a new Sam Raimi script.
Seriously. The old movie was rumored to have John Malkovich in the final casting stages as ‘The Vulture’, which would’ve trumped everything that was terrible about the last Spiderman movie, emo-hair, montage sequences, Topher Grace appearing randomly – everything would’ve been forgiven. But nooooo, we can’t wait that long. We need our superhero franchises to happen as frequently as videogames. So the first stills have leaked out, revealing the suit in its entirety, complete with mechanical web-shooters. Which I think comic book nerds should be angry about.
You see, Peter Parker is just a boy. Not a genius. He’s dumb enough to get himself bit by a radioactive spider, how would he possibly have the R+D budget to come up with web shooters that could suspend giant tanks, or his bodyweight from buildings? It makes no sense. It’s like tomorrow, I can make myself a magic cloak from bananas and stacks of sweaters I stole from the GAP.
The movie’s title has also been set loose on the world : ‘The Amazing Spiderman’
Prepare yourself for July.
