The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (May 2nd 2014)

sshuttari · 07-06-2012, 12:36 AM

When SuperHeroHype spoke with producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach last week, the latter was non-commital about how many movies may follow this week's The Amazing Spider-Man despite already having a sequel in the process of being written.

As Tolmach told us:

"We knew that it was going to be more than one, and at the very least three. We're going to let this movie tell us what the story is."

But now the official Facebook page seems to have decided they may as well go ahead and make another trilogy.

As stated in a post on Monday:

"It's finally here! The Amazing Spider-Man is the first installment in a movie TRILOGY that will explore how our fave hero's journey was shaped by the disappearance of his parents."

That capitalization of the word "trilogy" was our own, because even though Sony has already committed to a sequel before The Amazing Spider-Man opened, scheduling it for May 2, 2014, and even offered a potential tease in the end credits scene, there was no guarantee that having two movies would warrant a third. (Case in point: Nicolas Cage's Ghost Rider movies.)

Another sign that a sequel was definitely going to happen was Marvel Studios' recent decision to move their scheduled and still unconfirmed mid-May 2014 release to early August. Presumably that's to give Sony Pictures a bit more room with the Spider-Man sequel and a little more breathing space for their own Captain America sequel, which is being released in early April 2014.

Marc Webb is not confirmed hmm.... Get Raimi back

saveus1011 · 07-06-2012, 01:16 AM

Webb won't be back.

Ramplate · 07-06-2012, 01:24 AM

Raimi won't be back

Neverending · 07-06-2012, 01:47 AM

The reason SHH is raising an eyebrow is because they know Sony is concerned. Word-of-mouth is VERY mixed and the box office results aren't as strong as they would like.

Daniel · 07-06-2012, 08:00 AM

Michael Bay with the spider slayers as the villains, or I boycott.

saveus1011 · 07-06-2012, 08:13 AM

I see your Bay, and raise you a Paul W.S. Anderson.

Ramplate · 07-06-2012, 08:40 AM

Michael "BOOM!" Bay?

Just because he did transformers?

Smythe Spider Slayers - that's a big yes.

Michael Bay - no

Paul W.S. Anderson? That's not a raise, get your hand out of the pot lol. The Resident Evil movies suck

How about John McTiernan and the Spider Slayers?

Fresh Prince · 07-06-2012, 10:39 AM

Brad Bird and the Spider Slayers.

Nick1988 · 07-06-2012, 11:47 AM

I hope Sony loses the rights and Marvel gets it.

Neverending · 07-06-2012, 11:53 AM

At this point, I'd also prefer it if Marvel got back the rights. But like FOX, I see Sony doing everything it can to keep it.

sshuttari · 07-06-2012, 12:12 PM

Everyone knew amazing spiderman wasn't going to do great numbers is Sony really shocked that in a summer with avengers and dark knight rises

Fresh Prince · 07-06-2012, 12:34 PM

^ Yeah they should of waited for ASM to come out next summer.

Spider-Man 4, Raimi or no Raimi, could have competed. This whole remake plan of theirs is bitting them in the butt. Nitpicking Fanboys and Children LOVE the movie, but everyone else is like, "boring." The movie opened on Tuesday with $32 million and on Wednesday, the 4th of July, a friggin holiday, it dropped 30%. Word-of-mouth is killing the film. One Sony insider told Nikki Finke that Sony is now relying entirely on female audiences because the Andrew Garfield-Emma Stone love story is the only thing that's catching on.

docstop · 07-06-2012, 02:07 PM

Funny the whole Stone-Garfield connection seemed really forced to me. Different age category but I seriously do not know how that aspect of the movie would be strong enough to make anyone see the movie twice.

Fresh Prince · 07-06-2012, 02:15 PM

Still hope they make enough money to do a sequel. Just do the second film even better, and if they are replacing Marc Webb, I love Brad Bird to direct ASM 2.

Neverending · 08-15-2012, 08:33 PM

I guess Marc Webb won't be returning.....

Amazing Spider-Man helmer Marc Webb has come attached to direct Logan Lerman in The Only Living Boy In New York, an indie that had Horrible Bosses helmer Seth Gordon attached to direct. The Allen Loeb-scripted film is a twisted coming-of-age tale in which a young man (Lerman) learns that his overbearing father is having an affair. The son tries to stop it, only to become involved with the woman as well. With advice from a questionable quirky neighbor, the young man learns about love. Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are producing, with John Fogel executive producer.

I never expected him to.

sshuttari · 08-15-2012, 11:08 PM

He honestly didn't do all that great of a job... I would say Raimi still had Spider-man down more... But of course the source material has a lot of potential

Nick1988 · 08-16-2012, 02:07 AM

I am not to disapointed by the news, there was some good things about it that he did, but like many have said, it seemed like he was in over his head with this movie, i think it was the direction that took this movie down a notch. Garfield and the cast were the strong point not so much the film it's self.

I just hope Garfield and Stone are back, tho this movie wasn't the box office smash they expected so i am not sure how excited people are for a sequel... I just feel Spider-man movies need a serious long break before they continue doing movies, people are worn out by SM movies, just like for a while people were worn out by Batman movies

Neverending · 08-16-2012, 02:18 AM

B&R is the only Batman movie that flopped. And that's because it sucked. No one was worn out. All 3 of Raimi's Spidey films were giant successes. No one was worn out. Make a movie people wanna see and they'll show up. Spidey Origins 2.0 wasn't one of those.

Dhamon22 · 08-16-2012, 06:44 PM

Thats ok. I'm interested in his new project though. Sounds interesting.

bbf2 · 08-20-2012, 08:52 PM

I actually liked the movie a good deal. A bit redundant to the 02 Spider-Man but good on its own. I found out later, that Webb wanted one of the central tenets of the film to be the fact that Peter was predestined by his father to become Spider-Man (like, his father put something in his blood or whatever, he's the only person the bite could have affected.). It was met with negative response and removed. That would have been a bad idea in my opinion, part of the appeal of Spider-Man is that it could have happened to anyone and Peter was just a normal dude in the right place at the right time.

I can't blame Sony for wanting to avoid that, since it's the exact same thing Universal did to Bruce Banner in Ang Lee's Hulk. Not really a movie you want to be stealing ideas from. Filmmakers should be using Hulk as an example of how not to do a comicbook movie.
