I can’t say as I blame him. Spiderman 4 is a train wreck. I just read what the story was supposed to be about (See below). Why would the guy who directed the 2 highest grossing movies of all time want to get involved in Spiderman 4? Why not just make him a late night host on NBC next?
MTV News has the interview:
“No, no,” Cameron told MTV News when asked if he’d been approached for the “Spider-Man” job. “It’s a little bit sloppy seconds, let’s face it.”
“I haven’t gotten a phone call,” said Cameron. “I don’t expect to — certainly [not] after this interview. But if you’re thinking about it, it’s sloppy seconds. I’m not interested.”
Then read what Spiderman 4 was SUPPOSED to be about and you actually get excited they killed it.
NY Mag gives us the story:
“Peter Parker gets over MJ, finds a new girl, falls in love. But: Peter also discovers her father is actually the Vulture, a naughty green guy with wings to be played by John Malkovich. Peter is torn between the love of his new lady and taking down the Vulture. Being a Spandex tight-ass, he decides to take down the Vulture, and kills him.
This patricide goes down poorly with Peter’s new fiancee, and she rejects him. Despondent, Peter decides to abandon his superpowers, and Movie No. 4 ends with Peter Parker throwing away his Spider-Man mask, and audiences wondering if they are watching Superman II.”
Doesn’t this sort of sound like the Sandman plot?
