Re: Better adaptions and remakes

The thing with the Lynch version is that it suggests a better movie would exist, but there's just way too little of it in the back end of the story. I will always love it, but it will always leave me wanting more and feeling like I didn't see enough.

The problem which all these projects have is that unless you've got Tom Hardy, nobody gives a shit about a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man.

And to be honest, I'm not sure folks care that much about Spider-Man movies with Spider-Man either.
