Recently, Fox announced they will be no longer continuing on with the Spiderman movie franchise. For a lot of the fans, the third installment justified this. The kicker here was that Fox also announced they will re-boot the franchise in 2012. A collective “huh?” was felt throughout the superhero fan base community.
I took the opportunity to ask myself who would be fitting to play the characters and who would have the vision to make this storyline different from what we have already witnessed. Ask such questions and you will get answers, some from out of left field:
Martin Scorsese’s Spiderman
We find a sixty-something Peter Parker (Robert DeNiro), a freelance photographer who retired from crime fighting a decade ago after a spinal injury nearly left him paralyzed. The murder of his lifelong friend Harry Osbourne (Harvey Keitel) reunites him with old flame Mary Jane Watson (Lorraine Bracco).
Leonardo DiCaprio plays the last good cop in a corrupt city who seeks out Parker to aid him in his battle against crime lord Eddie “Venom” Brock (Joe Pesci). Remembering the teachings of his Uncle Ben (Paul Sorvino) and Aunt May (Cathy Moriarty), Parker enlists the help of former New Avenger and Captain America (James Woods).
This cannot be made into a trilogy because like most Scorsese movies, everyone ends up dead or in the hospital. The final scene of this film finds ChrisinBoston (Mark Wahlberg) ambushing DeCaprio with a gunshot to the back of the head, killing off the entire franchise before it’s too late.
The movie is 2.5 hours but the soundtrack takes up 4 CD’s.
