Hello Fellow Bloggers!
For this week's post I would like to briefly explore the concept of re-using super heros in new feature films. The very last time that the world viewed a movie featuring Spiderman was back in 2009. Already, a new feature film about Spiderman will be debuted this summer. The main question on everybody's minds is: "Is it too soon?" It has only been a mere five years since we last saw this hero. The argument, however, is that this time Spiderman will be appearing as a much darker figure than he was last represented. I have heard through word of mouth that this film is to be geared towards the same concepts applied to Batman and The Dark Knight. Unfortunately, I can't help but think that this is a major attempt by the large studios to make even more money off of this masked hero. There have been many mixed feelings surrounding the topic on if this will be a hit or bust. I am very eager to see the outcome as I am interested to see what factors and elements were considered before production began. In addition to, I would like to explore on if whether the name "Spiderman" generates attention due to it's past history. What are your thoughts?
