I'm tired of franchise reboots done within a short timespan. There are justifications for reboots (i.e. you have something really amazing a la Batman Begins), but seriously.. Spiderman 1 AGAIN? GAH!
That's all,
-Castle in the Sky
Reboot

Basically, from what I gather it went down like this: the director (Sam Raini) wanted to do Spiderman 4 right (he was really upset about how 3 turned out -- I think this is because the producers got in his way and took over his movie -- he was VERY upset about Venom). He probably didn't like the way things were going and decided to quit. Other cast members may have quit as well at that point. Sony, in debt from the PS3, has one major motion picture cash crop: Spiderman. They have a contract with Marvel that they can produce x number of Spiderman movies (within a certain time frame?). With Spiderman 4 wrecked they decided to go back to the drawing board and start over hoping they can make it just as successful (rumored to be darker/grittier a la Batman). Yeah right. It would take a lot to convince me to see it at this point.

Agreed. A major reason Batman Begins worked so well is the simple fact that Batman is dark and gritty. Spiderman? not as much. I could possibly see it if they hadn't already messed up the Gwen Stacy storyline with #3...Castle in the Sky wrote: (rumored to be darker/grittier a la Batman). Yeah right.
I'd have to get an OK from Humble Master before seriously considering it.
