Tobey Maguire has negotiated his deal to star in SPIDERMAN 4 & 5, scoring "family time" with his young daughter as part of his contract. He will be shooting the two movies back to back next year but insisted that he needs "early mornings" and "evenings off" to spend time with his now 22 month old daughter Ruby. The pay package will be $50 million for both films.

Well that's awesome. How many hours is Tobey going to be working each day then, to bank this ridiculous check? I can't wait to see the behind-the-scenes extras on these DVDs where Sam Raimi spends half a day setting up the shot and waiting for twilight to get the perfect ambience, and then when he shouts action, sees Maguire bent over shaking his head and tapping on his watch with his index finger saying 'uh, uh-uhh'. In fact, wait, so this whole movie is gonna be shot in the afternoon? What the hell? What if something in the script happens at night time? Do they have Storm from the X-Men on staff?

it takes a few lemons to make lemonade. Loved the first 2 movies could care less about the third, but I still have faith in Spiderman. I sure hope I dont end up eating those words.

1 good film, 1 great film and 1 bad film = have some faith
jyork7900, you might think the Spidey films are average at best but most people disagree with you. Believe it or not Spider-Man 2 has a higher score at Metacritic than The Dark Knight. Do I think it was better than TDK? No, but appearantly a lot of critics did. I think that means that the movie was at least better than average.



drwcomics, I agree completely. Raimi must share some...

drwcomics, I agree completely. Raimi must share some of the blame for Spidey 3 but we can't blame it all on him. The Studio pressured him into including Venom and Gwen Stacy. If he hadn't had to include them a lot of the film's problems would've been solved (i.e. no dance scene with Gwen and he would've had a lot more time to flesh out the other characters).

Villan Number 1
The reason I said one villan is simply because you're doing to many origin stories, takes up too much of the movie to get to the good stuff. Too many characters and not enough time/plot for them all! It needs re-imagined, rebooted(minus origin story) re-sculpted, re-done simply because these movies are at best average, with the turd one, well just a pile of it.

Good.
Spider-Man three isn't an awful movie. Is it as good as the other two? No. Of course not. But the main problems of that film arose from the fact that the studio got cocky and thought that they could tell Raimi what to do and still make a good movie. They were wrong. And they know this full well. I'm willing to bet that they'll leave him alone and let him do his own thing this time around.

And all of you angry nerds need to dial down a bit on the criticism of Toby's "demands". He has a 22 month old baby girl at home, you should all be lucky he's still acting at all let alone agreeing to make two blockbuster action movies back to back.



Jeeze.

please please
i they want to stick with tobey. true, mature the character. if they want to keep spidey young, recast.



honestly i thought tobey was a fine peter parker, but not a good spider-man. his voice was so sleepy, and he definitely didn't have that witty one-liner charm that spidey is known for.

Superman returns was a sequel..



and if you havent noticed reboots of old franchises have turned out pretty damn good... so... I dont think you have a very good argument on this board

I dont want a reboot, i want a different approach with a better vision, i hate the idea of reboots for the sole reason of another origin story, and spiderman doesnt need it, it needs a new direction



The new Hulk was ,uhm, whats that word? GOOD, not great but good...ang lee's put me to sleep every time, it was dry, i liked here it was going but there was no LIFE to the story



Thats exactly what the spiderman franchise lost in spiderman 3, its life, what made it a pretty strong franchise was/is gone...



so having that same crew makes me nervous, regardless of sony pushing for venom, and Raimi hellbent on portraying parker as an adolescent even well into his 20's



lame...?

Listen, I hope the whole crew learned from spiderman 3, it banked, but after 2 weeks just stopped making money because word of mouth was, for lack of a better word, SHIT AWFUL



And how does changing directors and actors ruin a comic movie? Comics change, different artists and writers with different takes on the continuity, films are no exception



A new direction...

A new direction wouldnt be such a bad thing, but snce theyre keeeping Mcguire, they need to do a couple things



1. Suck it up Raimi and mature the damn character, he said hes not interested in older pete, but come on tobey is in his 30's and this franchise needs something fresh



2. This is a no brainer, make spidey the wise-ass hes supposed to be. Even in the spiderman 3 game he had a bunch of witty comments and it actually worked, i was surprised



considering the absolute train wreck that was 3, they need to take some more concentrated advice. Age parker, let him have normal non-douchey hair for one!



give him some scruff, show that he IS struggling internally and not "oh i cant hold a job or get to class im so forlorn", when the character just doesnt even look it



Look, Raimi is a good director a SHIT WRITER, but he better do this right, cuz theres alot of angry fans and i cant see spidey 4 making a lot of money its first week just because of the last movie, just the way things work....

I thought three god awful bastardizations to the character were bad enough. Do we really need two more movies with the same crappy cast and crew? I can't figure out what worse, a Spider-Man movie or Brand New Day. If you want some quality Spider-Man stories just watch The Spectacular Spider-Man...which Sony has a chunk in interesting enough. Don't know how that works out.

Banging script..
This Vanderbilt better be writing a really good script.



They better go back to the vibe of the first film--fun, innovative. Dark brooding Spidey rarely works, so enough of that. They also need to inject a ton of more humor on Spidey's part--he's supposed to be a wise-ass.



To all the people saying we need one villain--yeah, we saw it..that was the first two films....

I forgive part 3, which I don't hate as much as others, but if part 4 bombs than part 5 will be a hard sell.



And I'm glad we're getting a comic franchise with some consistency. Having a new actor/director every new film ruins the feeling of the continuity.

How many times does Bale or did Ledger take time off, you are supposed to sacrifice things for these types of opportunities. They could have also saved a ton of money bc people love Spiderman not Maguire, hence the reason you havent seen him in anything since he became Spiderman!

...But it would be nice if it were more of a Spider-man movie than a Sam Raimi Movie.



After 4 & 5, I would be down with a new take on Spider-man that's related more to the comics. For now though, I am enjoying this series and would like for it to have an appropriate finale unlike the old Batman movies.

From what I've heard in Hollywood, Tobey is well known for being a diva. I heard the stuntmen on SM2 all made fun of him for being a wuss... I also heard he has a personal chef follow him around and prepare him special meals in other peoples restaurants.



That said, I do like the Spider-Man franchise (at least the first two) and am hopeful for the next two.

They're really gonna have to knock these out of the park to redeem themselves. I hope they bury the whole Spiderman/Green Goblin storyline and just get to making some good fun action (like Iron Man did). And just ONE villian per movie will suffice this time.

Why should we be looking forward to this?
Let me get this straight... so Marvel Studios have no problem with Spider-Man 3 being a shit movie, and just goes along with the same crew despite that?



Good luck, Marvel.

ANOTHER EXTRA TIDBIT
Sooo...this is actually happening? Oh-kay. Sorry about my lack of enthusiasm. Spidey 3 reeked of the stuff that leaves a horse's @$$.



Anyway, here's an Extra Tidbit : Venom never made it to the movie despite being heavily hyped.



What's that you say? He was there? Huh? You mean I missed it?! Oh man, I missed it when I took a 3-minute trip to the bathroom...?!!...

To be fair they can shoot day for night and vice versa so I doubt it'll be a problem, not too mention the fact that when its Spidey in the suit they can shove a stuntman in there.
