Wes Anderson’s SPIDER-MAN

8 Comments POSTED ON Feb 06 2010 AT 8:00 am BY The Beat

When the name of quirky director Wes Anderson (THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, FANTASTIC MR. FOX) was floated as a possible replacement for Sam Raimi on the Spider-Man franchise, your first thought was, “What a great idea!” and then your second thought was “Oh, no, that could never work!” And then you saw this YouTube video

and thought, well, maybe it would have been kinda cool.

All kidding aside, THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU was a pretty good action movie in spots, except for that really badly edited helicopter crash. And his AmEx commercial was edge of your seat!

    That was a great Anderson-inspired clip. I was waiting for a Mr. Bloom/Doc Oc type to say, “I was gonna make that tree fall on you.” Still have to see Fantastic Mr Fox come to think of it…

    i would watch this a thousand times

  3. Wow. I liked that.

  4. mark coale says:

    Needed a Kinks song.

    Also, a Wes Anderson Spider-Man film would probably be more about Harry and his father issues than about Peter.

    wow the beat really blows already since it made the move. what’s with the anderson bashing?

  6. Right, JG, because the site is Completely Different now that it’s at a different URL. :rolleyes: Let me know if I can loan you sense of humor.

  7. I wish to show my thanks to you just for rescuing me from this challenge. After scouting throughout the the net and finding basics which were not powerful, I was thinking my life was gone. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the difficulties you have fixed by means of the post is a serious case, as well as ones that could have badly affected my entire career if I hadn’t encountered your blog. Your personal skills and kindness in controlling all the stuff was tremendous. I’m not sure what I would’ve done if I had not encountered such a thing like this. I can at this point look forward to my future. Thank you very much for this expert and effective guide. I won’t be reluctant to recommend your blog to anyone who needs and wants direction on this subject.
