According to deadline.com, Marc Webb is going to be officially announced as the new director of Spider-Man 4. You may know Marc Webb as the director of the movie (500) Days of Summer which I have heard good things about, but have yet to actually see. So there you have it, Spider-Man 4 is officially getting it’s feet off the ground after all the controversy in the past few weeks.
So what do you guys think of Marc Webb as the director? As I mentioned above I have not seen (500) Days of Summer so I’m not sure of his style, but critics seem to love the movie so I can’t imagine he’s the worst choice for the Spider-Man franchise.

Sucks! If you look at it from a salesmans pov:
On one hand you have a Director who has made a little noise recently directing a Rom-Com. On the other hand a Director with huge success relating to the entire franchise at hand…Who is also a Director with a previous proven track record of some 20 years in this genre, who has an extremely loyal fanbase to boot!
Hmmmm…I would say the action of picking the former Director over the latter connects with the action of said studio shooting itself in the ass and killing the franchise lol!
Sorry studio bosses, no Raimi, no custom from this movie fan for Spiderman 4 or whatever god awful name you give it. Sam Raimi shows passion for the subject matter beyond that of any other would be Director/writer for it. He was willing to continue making these films and so were the cast - but of course their fees would all have gone up. Much more cost efficient then to manufacture a disagreement with said Director and save yourselves some money. Then when the “re-boot” fails you can just move on to something else.
I wish they’d do the decent thing and give the rights to Marvel Studios then Raimi can go make more Spiderman movies with them grrrrr!

I think he’ll do a good job. But he should remember the fans! Spiderman without Kirsten Dunst and Toby Maguire is like Superman without Reeve and Kidder. I grew up with them as I did the Spiderman Cast. I know folks who took their kids to watch, and now their kids are grown, and so you have twice as many adults as kids in line to watch the new movie.
I think us fans are like the citizens of Metropolis and NY and we need a superhero director save our Cast. Gave us back Mary Jane (Kirsten) and Peter Parker(Toby)!

NOOOOO!! No more toby the actor of spidey and no more kristian the actor of mary jane?.??!!
Seriously,EPIC FAIL!!
Stand Lee,the owner of Marvel,think of this:
Toby and Kristian are very good actors,and now ur replacing the older people!?!
That’s a major change dude!
And if u finish this without the good actors,it better have good actors in it.If it sucsk,you don’t make enoug money! And look at 2.1! Its ridicolous! It supposed to be 3! Not a 0.1 forward! What the heck Lee? Pissing off ur awesome fans and NOW you changed the whole thing?!!?
*cries* You let me down Lee,Toby,and Kristian,you REALLY LET UR FANS DOWN!!
*cries*

seriously, I think it’s a good thing they’re getting rid of Toby. The Marvel franchise is doing so excellent with Iron Man, the Hulk and even X-men, Maguire just wasn’t cutting it anymore. He’s not enough of a wise-ass to be peter parker in the first place. Amd come on, You have Ed Norton, Hugh Jackman and Robert Downy are doing so well, spiderman is the only weak link. They need to get better actors and less cheesy and awkward-sounding lines. I was cringing for most of spiderman three.

Does anyone know if they do, and Spiderman 4? I can not wait another amazing story from them. I liked very much the three sides and are dead after Spiderman!

They only chose Marc Webb because of his last name…Bad idea Sony
Thank You

Who wants to hear something refreshing? Easy is as easy does is what I always say. So I found an easy way to make money. It’s a little known secret that is only shared by some top level Internet gurus. The fact is, that this software is 100% legal, “white hat” and ethical, that even giant enterprises use it. And the best part - it is really running on full autopilot. Some people are tempted to exploit this software and use it for unethical web promotion but the owner is asking that everyone who is lucky enough to get it, please try to respect the laws of the internet. It really is as simple as downloading the software and then pushing a button. This never seen before push button software proved that the best and most profitable traffic on the internet is free traffic. You might be tempted to try to disect this software in order to ’see the magic’ but why bother? It’s a pretty amazing piece of software and it just simply… works.
