After spewing my undying hate in the faces of Sony, this news kind of lightens the anger in my soul after the death of Spiderman 4. They have announced the four directors they are considering for their Spiderman Reboot, and in response: not bad. They are as follows:
-James Cameron (Aliens, Terminator 2, Avatar)
-David Fincher (Se7en, Fight Club, Curious Case of Benjamin Button)
-Wes Anderson (Fantastic Mr. Fox)
-Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer)
Sony seems to know that they have to get an amazing director to fill Sam Raimi's shoes, and these four certainly fit the bill. James Cameron is James Cameron. No more needs to be said in that area. David Fincher has proven himself a fantastic artful director with his long line of amazing films. Wes Anderson hasn't really done to many films of notice, but his work on Fantastic Mr. Fox was simply brilliant. I'm not sure if he has the right style for the Spiderman series though. As for Marc Webb, after seeing (500) Days of Summer I don't care that he's a relatively new director. If he signs on to direct the new Spiderman film, consider my ass in the seat on opening night. Sony is beginning it's long, slow climb from rock bottom with a nice start. Lets see how they follow up.
