Wes Anderson's Spiderman Reboot

Posted by Kyle Francis in Francisism

Before Mark Webb (500 Days of Summer. Ugh.) signed on to direct Sony's reboot of the Spiderman franchise, Wes Anderson's name was briefly bandied about as a potential director. Though either selection seems to me like a cynical attempt to cash in on the popularity of faux-indie deadpan twee, at least Anderson's the genuine article when it comes to faux-indie deadpan twee, and not, well, a hackish Anderson impersonator.

So, yeah, not really looking forward to the reboot. 

Still, this "What If?" scenario concocted by a group of Spiderman/Wes Anderson fans made me grin. They make all the jokes you'd expect them to, but damn if they aren't well-executed.
