Honestly once I get that Spider-Man vs The Sinister Six fight on the big screen (preferably with them taking more influence from Spectacular Spider-Man) they can burn every other superhero film.

Looks like Spidey is taking some cues from his buddies at Activision.

Kind of curious why Sony and other studios aren't looking outside the big 2 for properties. I get brand recognition but Image is releasing some awesome titles, and Dark Horse has great properties too. You would think that studios would be mining out these properties for potential franchises.

Have Pixar make a Beasts of Burden film, using the puppy storyline as the basis.

It is so loving weird to me that we're going to have four separate superhero movieverses each pumping out movies annually. Kind of ridiculous

So... what does the Sinister Six do when they're not fighting Spider-Man? Do they own an apartment building in the Bronx? Hold tea parties and bitch about socialism? I guess it would be cool if they tried to do Thunderbolts or Dark Avengers kind of thing, but it would be weird to get the six in a room and not have fighting Spider-Man be at the top of their to do list.

Speaking of Sandman movie, British screenwriter Jack Thorne has been hired to write the movie.

Any one of the ongoing superhero franchises would be fine on its own, and I think that's what the studios are looking at. It feels like they aren't considering the fact that Winter Soldier, GotG, Avengers 2, Ant-Man, Fantastic Four, Amazing Spider Man 2, Days of Future Past, and a half dozen spinoffs, mini films, and TV Shows are all on the public's radar, ALL AT THE SAME TIME. No one series is saturating the market, but all of them together just might.

Joel Silver did an interview with Coming Soon in which he criticizes Snyder's Watchmen, and gives some details about what was originally supposed to happen in the ending before Solid Snake went in and changed the script. It's pretty interesting in a really  way.quote:“It was a MUCH much better movie [...] I mean, Zack came at it the right way but was too much of a slave to the material. I was trying to get it BACK from the studio at that point, because I ended up with both “V For Vendetta” and “Watchmen” and I kinda lost “Watchmen.” I was happy with the way “V” came out, but we took a lot of liberties. That’s one of the reasons Alan Moore was so unpleasant to deal with. The version of “Watchmen” that Zack made, they really felt the notion. They went to Comic-Con, they announced it, they showed things, the audience lost their minds but it wasn’t enough to get a movie that would have that success.”

As much I hated that Hamm Watchmen script, I thought his Batman Returns script was overall better than the filmed version. It actually felt more like a continuation of the Batman mythos that Burton was establishing in his first film. About the only thing about it I didn't like was the way they handled Catwoman. Other than that, I was reading it and playing it out in my head. Even the manhunt for Batman I think played out better where the fear of Batman being a killer elevated by him being framed for killing the rich and powerful of Gotham while the city is going through a lot of sociopolitical discord. However, I can see how a lot of elements from that draft carried on into the final film. Catwoman retained a supernatural and kink theme, Penguin retained a 'secret history of Gotham's elites' plot, Batman getting framed for murder, Christmas theme, etc.

so I just skimmed this thing you guys are talking about and while, as a Watchmen script, it's...something, I think it would make a pretty rad weirdo grimdark Justice League or Justice Society elseworlds, especially if you gave it to, like, Neil Adams or somebody and locked them in an attic for a month with a jug of lemonade and no editor.

So Watchmen was to have a loving reset button at the end. I hate films with reset buttons, makes the whole thing pointless.

It wouldn't be hard to beat Raimi's "falls from space near Parker for literally no reason" venom. But actually in retrospect it's really funny because the studio forced him to use venom, so he made everything about the character extremely forced and shoehorned in. It's a great little metawar, but only really entertaining if you know the behind the scenes drama.

I thought in the cartoon JJ Jameson's astronaut son accidentally brought it back from the moon, and due to it trying to bond with his copilot they crash landed in NYC with Spider-Man saving them, which is how he got in contact with the symbiote.

Well it always came from space, it's an alien, but "randomly crash land directly next to Peter Parker's moped" is comically lazy.

Submersible explores an extremely deep sea wreck. Maybe the wreck is a spaceship, maybe not, but it's been around for a long time either way. The symbiote is in the wreck and attaches itself to the submersible, gets hauled up, sent to prestigious biologist Doc Connors for study. Much more plausible reason why Peter out of all Earthlings would come into contact with it, it keeps the Reed Richards role of the comics but replaces it with Connors in terms of explaining what it is / how to possibly get it off, and it's flexible in terms of whether you want to make it an alien creature, keep it ambiguous, or make it some kind of never-before-seen Earth organism. Also helps explain why it doesn't like fire or intense sound if its home is the deepest depths of the cold, quiet ocean. And I imagine the wreck exploration scene can be made really creepy and tense, especially if you also establish the symbiote's crazy camouflage abilities (if you've ever seen footage of octopuses appearing or disappearing you know what I mean). `course, without Connors things need tweaking but that's not a big deal. Edit/quote: quote:“We are expanding the ‘Spider-Man’ universe into ‘The Sinister Six’ and ‘Venom,’ so that we have ‘Spider-Man’ movies every year,” Pascal said. I know that they're using the quotation marks because of the proper titles, but it's hard not to read the last part as sarcastic because having a movie without Spider-Man would be something I'd refer to as a  Spider-Man film.

Wouldn't be hard at all to go with Ultimate Venom for the ASM series. They've already established Parker's father was a geneticist working on some shady projects for Ozcorp.

It's shat out of the sky and it lands like black bird poop. Later on, the suit is put in a suitcase, into a closet for a good bunch of time. Raimi knew what he was doing.

Ultimate's origin always seemed like Bendis trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. It was hard to buy that Parker and Brock developed purple, psychoactive, toothy goo as a cure-all.

With the Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, by the 2nd and 3rd films Harry was pretty much gunning for Spidey. Use something where Oscorp develops Venom based on what it can collect on Peter's DNA and Goblin Formula modifications and have it escape. Maybe that lab from the first film and their development of genetically engineered super spiders had a major change in direction once a 'spider-man' appeared in the public, which lead to them developing Venom in an attempt recreate work they unknowingly created in the first place. Neither one would have been an alien origin for the costume, but I do think they would have fit better with the tone of each of the Raimi films of science going amok to create heroes and villains.
