Looks like Rami and Sony just couldn't get along. Not that after seeing Spider-Man 3 I think this really a bad thing. Not looking forward to another origin story either since we just got that story not to long ago. Unless everyone had their memory wiped in the last 8 years.
Culver City, CA (January 11, 2010) -- Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012.
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.
The new chapter in the Spider-Man franchise produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios and Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, will have a new cast and filmmaking team. Spider-Man 4 was to have been released in 2011, but had not yet gone into production.
“A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three Spider-Man films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise. Peter Parker as an ordinary young adult grappling with extraordinary powers has always been the foundation that has made this character so timeless and compelling for generations of fans. We’re very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots and we look forward to working once again with Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin on this new beginning,” said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
“Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me. While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job,” said Sam Raimi.
“We have had a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration and friendship with Sam and Tobey and they have given us their best for the better part of the last decade. This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone else’s hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable,” said Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, who has served as the studio’s chief production executive since the beginning of the franchise. “Now everything begins anew, and that’s got us all tremendously excited about what comes next. Under the continuing supervision of Avi and Laura, we have a clear vision for the future of Spider-Man and can’t wait to share this exciting new direction with audiences in 2012.”
"Spider-Man will always be an important franchise for Sony Pictures and a fresh start like this is a responsibility that we all take very seriously," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures. "We have always believed that story comes first and story guides the direction of these films and as we move onto the next chapter, we will stay true to that principle and will do so with the highest respect for the source material and the fans and moviegoers who deserve nothing but the best when it comes to bringing these stories and characters to life on the big screen."

Enjoy another Ghost-Rider, Marvel!

Peter Parker is going back to high school
I had to stop reading right there. :puke: Luckily, Merla directed me to another story the other day talking about the demise of Spidey 4 that spared me the details of any forthcoming Spider-abortions.
-
I'm gonna let y'all know right now. I don't give a shit.
-
I'm okay with this.

I wouldn't care that much either except they threw in "high school". Fucking high school. Only a totally hot jailbait Peter can right this horrible wrong.
-
Right, Peter needs to be rather average looking, which is why Tobey worked.
-
Beans to that, says I!
-
Which part?
-
We're getting Ultimate Spiderman. And if they can make it true to the book, then I'm all for it.

Felicia Hardy as the Vultress.
No fucking way the studio would ever be cool.
-
Haha they are saying that Robert Pattison(sp?) will be Tobey McGuire's replacement in the new Spiderman 4. Doesnt that make you want to kill yourselves, Spidey fans?
-
Yeah, and Johnny Dep will be the Riddler in the new Batman.
-
No please...don't
-
I would like a Riddler in the next film, but not Depp. He probably could pull it off, but to be honest I don't want it, and I can't place my finger on why.
I think someone suggested Jude Law as a possible replacement should they need to have the Joker in another film. As for who I'd actually expect as the Riddler . . . I'm clueless.
-
I was thinking Charlie Hunham (Sons of Anarchy) could pull it off.
But no, Dep won't be in Batman 3.
-

They should leave the Joker alone. Batman has enough villains for us to get a new one. No one will top Heath Ledger, especially a dead Heath Ledger. We won't get more than two more of these films before they decide to magically reboot and put Bruce Wayne in high school anyway.
-
HAHA Spider-Man lulz.
Really, if they present Joker at all again, I imagine it will be in a much more supporting part.
-
Joker takes a back seat to no man.
-
No one is going to be able to do a better Joker than Heath ledger so they should stop it right there! And No Jude Law allowed. I bet they'll end up putting Nicholas Cage for whatever villain is next
-
Don't fucking say that.
Just. Don't. Not him. Fuck. I think Nolan has his head on better than that. Fucking hope he does. FUCK.
-
Who should play Riddler? How about NO ONE? Riddler's a second-class villain at best, and a big reason they shouldn't have killed Harvey Dent off in TDK.
As for Spiderman, I don't give a hoot. Not a Marvel guy. I can make it just fine without another Spiderman movie.

No fucking way the studio would ever be cool.
And that has what to do with Ultimate Spiderman?
-
Nothing. The studio wants a Batman and Robin Spider-man movie jammed with all the villains. If they did a Sinester Six that'd be awesome, but fitting in 6 villains would be dumbfuck.

I agree about not killing off Dent. That movie should have been the set up to Two-Face being the bad guy for this movie. Really should have left his story arc in that movie end in the Hospital with Joker. Then finish up Jokers arc, but mention that they never found Dent so that he could come back in the next one. Would have made a lot more sense then rushing through it. Should have done the same thing with Venom from Spider-Man 3 as well.
