I have read in a magazine recently that Leo could be starring as Peter Parker in an upcoming film!!I think this is a BAD idea.

What do you, the public think.

STOP THE PRESSES!!

According to the ever-informative Harry Knowles and his gang of spies over at the AICN headquarters, it appears as though Spidey has been cast...

TOBEY MAGUIRE is SPIDERMAN!

when I heard that Tobey was cast as Peter Parker I threw a party! I freakin love this guy. All of his work has really been outstanding, unfortunately he is totally underated by the critics.

I heard that he blew them away at the casting.

anyway, it should be a great flick!

Tobey gave his best in The Ice Storm with Kevin Klein, Joan Allen and Christina Ricci...he also was in the semi new Wonder Boys.

Tobey has been in Pleasantville, The Ice Storm, The Cider House Rules, Ride With the Devil, and Wonderboys.

Those are the movies I know he's in - probably more though.

Was Tobey also the young Robin Williams in Jumanji? Or was that Adam Hann-Byrd from Halloween H20?

I'm, personally, not thrilled with the selection of Tobey. I've got nothing against him, but my top choice for our beloved web-slinger is the one-and-only, you guessed it, Bruce Campbell! I think if they can figure out a way to tone down Bruce's chin, he'd make the perfect Spider Man. Oh well, if everything went my way then we'd probably see Bruce chopping down Commi-Nazis (Simpsons reference) in "The Piano". BTW, is anyone else horrified that they wanted to "bump uglies" with Anna Paquin in "X-Men"? I mean she's hot, but she was only a kid in "The Piano".

Leo as Spidy would have been cool. But what is the point of this discussion anyways? This movie will just get remade in 10 years anyways. I'm from the future, I know.

And it's not a remake.

That was all the buzz back then...Wes Bently.

This was just before the organic web-shooter idea hit the net and fanboys heads exploded all across the country. The first real Internet shitstorm that I remember. Ahhhhh the good old days.

Couldn't help myself. I laughed. If only those of us back in 2000 could have possibly known the consequences of our actions. :(

Leo was gonna be Spidey because Cameron was gonna direct. He wrote a treatment for the film and was even seen on set.

A thread from 11 years ago is bumped. Biggest bump ever?

I think it's cool to read shit from 11-12 years ago. This thread reminds me of the one that was bumped up from like I think 2006 or so in the Home Entertainment/DVD's section of the board. Where people were bashing Blu-Ray's and saying they're shit, etc.

Ahh good times.

I remember these days. Back when DiCaprio was considered a no talent hack of a teen heart throb, nothing more. Look at the disgust some people had at the mention of his name. Funny how much things change.

You all should read the comments from TDK anticipation thread when everyone was saying how stupid it was to cast Ledger as the Joker

I was one of the naysayers against Ledger as the Joker (though I don't remember using the word "stupid"). I recanted (several times) on these discussion boards once I saw the movie.

DiCaprio would've been a good Spider-man, in my opinion. I guess we'll never know though.
