David Koepp has a wonderful career as soon as he didn\’t gets his hands on Mortdecai. But still he has a lot to do in Marvel in future. Regards celebsclothing

Sony\’s attempt to try and maintain its hold on the property while simultaneously attempting to keep up with Marvel Studios\’ output has hurt the potential the films could have had. Any good will they might have gained with The Amazing Spider-Man was washed away when The Amazing Spider-Man 2 came around. Yet again there was one villain too many in the film and their characterization of Max Dillon was almost a near carbon copy of Edward Nygma from Schumacher\’s Batman Forever (except that Dillon was a black man, obviously). Now they just want to do the "great" villain dogpile film, which isn\’t going to rake in the cash like they hope it will (that is, IF it ever sees the light of day).

I know you guys are probably sick of my comments BUT I couldn\’t help myself for this one. The marketing of spiderman movies is, of course, such an integral aspect of any feature associated with this franchise – just because it\’s a HUGE f*cking franchise, but what\’s getting lost in the mix is a focus on good, quality storytelling. Any spiderman movie has its pick of the litter with screenwriters, producers, and top-of-the-notch talent, so there\’s no reason for weak characters, plots, or direction, which, sadly, is seen in more recent SM movies. I am telling you, if they put more of a focus on getting the best talent they can and orchestrating it correctly, the marketing should be easy (*easier). Even Koepp has fell victim to this marketing folly — he\’s questioning whether we should do it as a series, or as a feature that appeals to a more adult audience. NO. You can\’t do that. Focus on getting a great story w/great talent first, THEN focus on the marketing.
