Reynolds wasn't bad in Safe House, either.

The dude I worry about is Jeremy Renner. I thought he'd be a game-changer after Hurt Locker, but has gone backwards and seems to be a real douche besides.

Don't worry he'll be in the next 5 Avengers sequels and probably a half-dozen marvel phase 2 and phase 3 movies. The guy is set for life

(Culver City, California, and Burbank, California February 09, 2015) – Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios announced today that Sony is bringing Marvel into the amazing world of Spider-Man.

Under the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in a Marvel film from Marvel's Cinematic Universe (MCU). Sony Pictures will thereafter release the next installment of its $4 billion Spider-Man franchise, on July 28, 2017, in a film that will be co-produced by Kevin Feige and his expert team at Marvel and Amy Pascal, who oversaw the franchise launch for the studio 13 years ago. Together, they will collaborate on a new creative direction for the web slinger. Sony Pictures will continue to finance, distribute, own and have final creative control of the Spider-Man films.

Marvel and Sony Pictures are also exploring opportunities to integrate characters from the MCU into future Spider-Man films.

The new relationship follows a decade of speculation among fans about whether Spider-Man – who has always been an integral and important part of the larger Marvel Universe in the comic books – could become part of the Marvel Universe on the big screen. Spider-Man has more than 50 years of history in Marvel's world, and with this deal, fans will be able to experience Spider-Man taking his rightful place among other Super Heroes in the MCU.

Bob Iger, Chairman and CEO, The Walt Disney Company said: "Spider-Man is one of Marvel's great characters, beloved around the world. We're thrilled to work with Sony Pictures to bring the iconic web-slinger into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which opens up fantastic new opportunities for storytelling and franchise building."

"We always want to collaborate with the best and most successful filmmakers to grow our franchises and develop our characters. Marvel, Kevin Feige and Amy, who helped orchestrate this deal, are the perfect team to help produce the next chapter of Spider-Man," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "This is the right decision for the franchise, for our business, for Marvel, and for the fans."

"Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios share a love for the characters in the Spider-Man universe and have a long, successful history of working together. This new level of collaboration is the perfect way to take Peter Parker's story into the future," added Doug Belgrad, president, Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group.

"I am thrilled to team with my friends at Sony Pictures along with Amy Pascal to produce the next Spider-Man movie," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. "Amy has been deeply involved in the realization on film of one of the world’s most beloved characters. Marvel's involvement will hopefully deliver the creative continuity and authenticity that fans demand from the MCU. I am equally excited for the opportunity to have Spider-Man appear in the MCU, something which both we at Marvel, and fans alike, have been looking forward to for years."

Spider-Man, embraced all over the world, is the most successful franchise in the history of Sony Pictures, with the five films having taken in more than $4 billion worldwide.

Finally should get a mid-career/prime Spider Man in a movie. I would like Kraven the Hunter and Chameleon as the villains of the stand alone, please! Throw in Mysterio for a lawl.

I was disappointed that the first amazing spider-man was a total rehash of the origin in the first Raimi film. Enough with the same origin bs tell another story.

I thought story-wise they were headed in the right direction in amazing spider-man 2 introducing sinister six and actually showing Gwen Stacy's death. That was the first time we saw a gritty, violent spider-man which is what I saw in the Todd Mcfarlane comics from the 80's and early 90's. Oh well

Whiplash...holy crap. I've always liked JK Simmons but wow.

 

I am always surprised when one of these guys that is everywhere turns out to deserve it.  Same with Philip Seymour Hoffman.

 

EDIT:  My favorite thing about him is watching my parents try to describe him when he is in something.

 

"It's got that guy in it"

 

"Oh, the one from the insurance commercials"

 

"GEICO"

 

"No, Liberty Mutual"

 

"No, the other one.  Bum-dee-dum-dum-dum"

 

"The one from that show.  The one with Mrs. Kevin Bacon"

 

"Oh, the Closer"

 

"They don't call it that anymore"

Swas "St.Vincent" ;last night. A good movie, hard to go wrong with Bill Murray and Melissa MCCarthy as his straight woman. The kid steals the show in the end.

 

Brooklyn-centric note; Was filmed down the block from the Catholic school everyone in our family attended, Good Shepherd in Marine Park, but they filmed all the school scenes in St.Patrick's in Bay Ridge. Bill Murray was very gracious to anyone who approached him during the filiming. They allowed the local kids to play with the sheetbox car featured.

so I just got back from seeing project almanac with my 14 year old

 

it was ferris bueller meets ground hog day meets a sound of thunder

 

I enjoyed it, I'm sure it got panned by the critics, and all time travel movies come down to the paradox, the repercussions and the timelines and the ending and this ending was pretty cool.  

 

one of those movies you talk about afterwards for awhile

Saw some piece of crap called Stretch on Netflix yesterday.  Typical guy with deadend job owes money to bookies and has to get it in one wild night.  Item of interest was that Randy Couture played the enemy and his (Russian?) muscle was played by none other than former Jet OT Matt Willig.  Since I know how much you guys like to see a shirtless man...

I didn't even know it was a movie until I told my daughter about the story and we googled it.  I'll have to check it out

 

I love so bad it's good stuff

Stands With a Fist as a catfish. What could go wrong?

Plus, the worst green screen in history.
