The Like/Hate Thread

Like: Spiderman 4 was scrapped today, and the plan is to do a complete reboot with an entire new cast and director sometime in 2012. Now while some won't feel that this is a good thing, consider what they WANTED to do with 4. The plan was to have the Vulture in it, and even to get Anne Hathaway (who they later scrapped for being too expensive) to play Felicia Hardy, except instead of the Black Cat, she was going to become "the Vulturess" and be a villianess.

Follow that off the common crowd reception of SM3 and you'll see how that was going to go, especially when they had already set up 5 and 6 to be a two part movie filmed in the same style as the last two Matrix or the three LotR movies. They scrapped this because they themselves weren't happy with the story and kept having to trash the stories being offered. I'd like to see what the new version will be, although rebooting a barely 8 year old franchise is a bit odd.

EDIT: Also keeping in mind that Raimi's original plan for 3 was to not have Venom at all (which is what everyone agrees destroyed that film) and focus on a consistent storyline and have the fourth movie be about Venom. So this seems like they are trying to fuck with it again and he's ducking out, to me.
