like, they realized from the asm2 numbers that spidey's suffering some audience burn-out, but they still think movies about his supporting cast are going to get people MORE into regular spidey movies?
maybe they think sinister six sounds like fast five which sounds like a franchise re-energizer?
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 18:38 (nine years ago) link
But the Fast series never needed a re-energizer, even the third one that didn't have the original stars made a crapton of money

In related news, did you hear about the John Carter spin-off Disney is working on called Martians?

fast five did twice as well as fast 4, you can play semantics but fast five did take things up a big notch
― da croupier, Monday, 18 August 2014 18:41 (nine years ago) link
and asm2 still made a ton of money, it just didn't expand upon the market of the reboot like they hoped

some marvel origin stories are good! and i like that the screenwriters have an opportunity to take the bizarre/corny ones and present/form them better. with liberties.
but i can definitely see how the strange origin would be done with as little origin as possible.

Yeah, Strange's is definitely one of the least necessary origin stories. In a way, our encroaching era of private space flights is a perfect time to zip right through an updated version of the FF's origin with a minimum of logistical finagling.
― The Ape In The Outhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:44 (nine years ago) link
word is they're doing something different with the FF's origin anyway
― Number None, Monday, 18 August 2014 19:45 (nine years ago) link
So they're going to be alien ninja turtles, then.
― The Ape In The Outhouse (Old Lunch), Monday, 18 August 2014 19:50 (nine years ago) link
Did they actually go ahead with that?
― Nhex, Monday, 18 August 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
Nah, they eventually realized that Bay's involvement was enough of a slap in the face for anyone who cared.

He makes blockbuster films easier to watch for me. Loved the faces he made in Star Trek.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 15:22 (nine years ago) link
I don't have a beef with him, but there is a bit of overexposure. I think if anything he's a bit too on-the-nose as it were. Of all the marvel flicks this is the one I'm most interested in because it has the potential to be a bit different, so the writer/director stands to be more of a dealbreaker than the star.
