Official Upcoming Movies Thread

Cage movies I'd rewatch (which doesn't mean that I haven't liked some of his other movies, but this is strictly "if it's on the tube, I probably wouldn't click to change it"):

Fast Times At Ridgemont High (sure, Cage only plays a bit part :) )
Valley Girl (Deborah Foreman -- yessir!)
The Cotton Club
Peggy Sue Got Married (a movie I'd watch _despite_ Cage's voice)
Raising Arizona
Honeymoon In Vegas (not to be confused with Leaving Las Vegas)
Red Rock West
Guarding Tess
Lord Of War
the first half of Snake Eyes (De Palma does a great thriller in the first half of the movie, and a lousy action flick for the second)
The Rock
It Could Happen To You

Keanu movies I'd rewatch (again, a subset of what I've enjoyed):

Matrix
Matrix 2
Matrix 3
Speed
Much Ado About Nothing (despite Keanu)
Dracula (for Monica Bellucci)
Point Break
Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

Spider-Man 4 officially dead. Sony pulled the plug on the 2011 Raimi movie and is going for a 2012 Peter Parker in high school reboot without Raimi, Maguire and Dunst.

They're gonna reboot Spiderman?

Already?

Fuck - just leave it for 5 years and only have Spidey appear in cross overs.

Wasn't the idea for them to do TWO more Spider-Man movies back-to-back?

They had all kinds of plans but in the end Raimi and the studio couldn't see eye to eye creatively, in particular on the question of what villains to include. Raimi wanted the third movie to be just the sandman, the studio made him add venom. He wanted the fourth movie to be the vulture and the studio drew a hard line on adding another villain they thought would boost sales.

Nobody was going to give so they all walked away.

That really sucks. I'm skeptical about a reboot. This was my favorite comic book film franchise - I'm worried that picking a high school Peter Parker will be tougher than they think. I'm hoping they go the route of the Spectacular Spider-Man and have him already as Spidey instead of doing another origin story 10 years after the first film origin story.

However, they can't do any worse than Dunst as Mary Jane. Hopefully they have Parker go after Gwen Stacy instead in this series.

Couldn't agree more. I always thought she was a terrible choice. She is just not a good actress.

Mary Jane is supposed to be all about Peter Parker hitting the jackpot.

I never got that "hit the jackpot" vibe for Kirsten Dunst's MJ.

They would've done better putting a redhead wig on Elizabeth Banks.

They've got a director now, don't know enough about him to say if this is good news or not.
