After years of wandering, [Spider-Man] finally returned to the embrace of his hometown Marvel. The new Spider-Man has made a lot of noise, and Asha Butterfield and Tom Holland have come to the final PK stage of choosing one of the two. And today the director candidate is also about to start casting lots, and the five-person shortlist is out, without the previous high-profile Drew Gundam. At a cursory glance, although there are no giant tycoons among the five directors, a little investigation will find that this BanKas is not an idle person.
Jonathan Levine, Ted Melfi, Jason Moore, John Francis Dali and Jonathan Goldstein, Jared Hess, all five directors are rising stars in recent years, and their artistic styles are all sword-and-edge, cold or boring.
Previously, Marvel and Sony also said that they hope that the reboot of [Spider-Man] can have a life-like, emotional component in John Hughes's work, so it seems that the decision to choose a director is also in line with the company's original intention. It's just that it's really imaginative to associate the works of these five directors with the Spider-Man who flew through the walls of New York City and saved the world.
Jonathan Levine
Masterpieces: [Anti-Cancer Me], [Warm Corpse]
Jonathan Levine's major works also include "Love You to Death" (2006) and [Odd Factor] (2008), of which [Odd Factor] won the Audience Award at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, the Melbourne Film Festival Most Popular Film Award, and [Cancer Fight Me] won the 2011 Toronto Youth Film Achille Valdata Award. Levin's films always contain themes of love and friendship, and I believe that in his hands, the relationship between [Spider-Man's] characters will be richer.
Theodore Melfi
Masterpiece: [Saint Vincent]
I don't know if he'll mold our little spider into a bunch of bad, cynical weirdos like St. Vincent.
Jason Moore
Masterpiece: [Perfect Tone]
Jason Moore directed musicals on Broadway in his early years, won a Tony Award in 2004, then switched to television screens, also engaged in screenwriting, and the success of his film debut [Perfect Tone] in 2012 made the director famous, if he really took over the new version of [Spider-Man], I don't know if it will show the musical talent of the New York hero, let Spider-Man shine for the first time in his life, or use the form of a song and dance drama to show Spider-Man's punishment and elimination of evil scenes.
Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Dalí
Representative works: [Holiday Adventures], [Evil Boss] series screenwriter
John Francis Dali was an actor who spent his early years on Broadway and the TELEVISION series industry, writing and directing some short films from 2001, and co-wrote the film "Bad Boss" with Jonathan Gorstein in 2007.
Jonathan Goldstein wrote some comedies for online television in his early years, then began writing screenplays for movies, and in 2007 began working with John, a turning point in his career. If the duo takes over [Spider-Man], I believe the film will be full of laughter.
Jared Hess
Masterpieces: [Napoleon the Great], [Gentleman Bronco]
Hess's films are always filled with a kind of "stuffy" cold humor, which is integrated into a comic book hero movie, and the combination of movement and static will also show a different style.
The new version of [Spider-Man] is expected to be released in North America on July 28, 2017, and the new Spider will be the first to appear in [Captain America 3: Civil War], the film is about to start, and the new Spider is about to be released. Who do you choose?
