The Hiring, Firing and Re-Hiring of Spider-Man
Obiwan Kenobi writes "Remember that rumor that Tobey McGuire was fired and Jake Gyllenhaal was going to be Spider-Man? Well, it's true. According to the LA Times, McGuire's unwillingness to reveal the extent of his back injuries from his last project (Seabiscuit) resulted in a huge power struggle that incurred the wrath of Universal president Ron Meyer (whose daughter is 'coincidentally' dating McGuire), a pissed off Sam Raimi, and a now-fired agent. Interesting read about the politics of making a big budget blockbuster." Really just a gossipy story frankly, but McGuire seems to be in for the sequel despite the back problems.

Normally puts you at a disadvantage.
Tobey - Do NOT dump this girl. You will pay dearly.
retrorocket.o not found, launch anyway?
Not even close, bozo.
It's not McGuire, it's Maguire.
Tobey Maguire is weak. Always remember, with great back injuries comes great take-wrecking painkillers.
the fact that spiderman wears his costume means that what's his name had a weak argument. they could have hired anyone to replace him as spiderman
First reply to a Nazi third post which claims to be first post on a CmdrTaco story.
first we have a review of a freebsd reference manual, and now some mindless celebrity gossip!

Free your mind.
I was watching Celebrity Justice just today (don't ask) and it seems that Gylennhahallla was put in because he's dating Dunst and Raimi was upset with McGuire. But before Tobey can come back to play Spiderman (which is what everyone would prefer when attitudes aren't flying) he's now going to have to pass a physical and consider a paycut.
Mordor...a magical, mythical land where women are more rare than dragons--but where every man would rather find a dragon
Back problems didn't stop Orlando Bloom from doing Lord of the Rings. He actually broke his back too.
Funny how you can find out things about people, and how appearances are not always correct. Take me for instance, I really thought Tobby was as quiet and good natured as he plays in his movies. But after reading the article, I realize he's just another person who has allowed the money to go to his head.
Fine, you're a millionaire, this doesn't automatically mean you need to be a prick.. be thankful that someone actually pays to go see your stuff, and realize that without the studios/directors/producers there will be no film, and you woulnd't be getting jack..

But please, tell me what you really think.
They are currently filming down near the financial district in Manhattan. From everything I've heard Mr. McGuire is there, so I'm guessing he is in the movie.
The movie blew anyway. What are the chances that no matter who plays what that it still sucks again?
It is the contraction of Sea Squall. It is for the scene where Spiderman teams up with Aquaman.
I've seen them filming around the city over the past month.... ... and by "the city" I mean NY ... is there any other?
thought it would be a good idea to change actors for a sequel. I dont ever remember ever seeing one weare they have that was any good
Can Tobey MCGuire even stay awake long enough for another movie? I remember watching spiderman and thinking it was some sort of joke or something. I always thought of spiderman as hyper-energetic and outgoing, but I guess a lethargic spiderman was kind of interesting.
all they need him for is to be a talking head other than that they can get someone better to fit into the costume
Triple H, World Champion, is engaged to WWE owner Vince McMahon's daughter Stephanie. Stephanie also happens to be the head writer (aka the person that picks the winners and losers). So, this, of course, upsets many wrestlers who feel that he's champion simply because he's having sex with her. It seems most businesses have a bit of this.
Yes, it is.
Item! Did you know that Spiderman was almost fired from the set of his movie? Tune in to Geeks in Space tonight to find out more about this juicy gossip.
this sig limit is too small to put anything good h
On one of those TV trash programs Celebrity Justice that aired yesterday (nothing on the site about it though...) they painted a slightly different story.
According to them originally Tobey McGuire was cast in the role of SpiderMan but was going to be dropped because he was making demands that related to scheduling trying to make them work around his schedule because of his back.
When he started making these demands producers said fine we have Jake Gyllenhaal in our back pocket so tell Tobey to take a hike. Tobey basically crawled back and is now SpiderMan but had to agree to certain things including signing an agreement that he would be financially penalized if he was unable to fill his role as SpiderMan and also had to undergo a medical exam.
Never been a huge fan of McGuire. Jake Gyllenhaal is a much superior actor and also a little darker and more interesting. I'm probably in the minority and Jake doesn't fit with pop culture like McGuire does but it would have been cool.
Anyone ever see Donnie Darko??? That's about all you need to say about Jake Gyllenhaal.
Besides the fact that it runs in the family Maggie Gyllenhaal was amazing in Secretary.

Oh, what a tangled web he wove
Tobey Maguire was dropped from 'Spider-Man's' sequel, then rehired. How did he get back in the picture?
By Kim Masters
Special to The Times
May 11 2003
Tobey Maguire is about as sorry as a movie star can be.
In a few short weeks this spring, he got himself dismissed from the next installment of "Spider-Man," had part of Hollywood's power elite work toward his reinstatement, won back his job, fired his agent and then was assiduously courted by the head of every major agency in town. He's back crawling the wall again, chastened by the whole experience.
"I feel like I learned a lesson," he says. "The movie is the most important thing."
The tale of how Maguire went from out-of-work webslinger to repentant star is a brief but engrossing saga of modern-day Hollywood. It takes place in a world where an actor's power can easily be miscalculated amid the multimillion-dollar paydays that accompany the big franchise movies driving the industry.
The first movie grossed more than $820 million worldwide, and in March, as filming on the inevitable sequel was underway, Maguire went astray. He had a notion that Columbia Pictures would arrange the shooting schedule for this costly and crucial project on his terms, to allow him to deal with a recurring problem: a bad back. "I was going 'They're going to have to make some accommodation for me,' " he says. Wrong. He was promptly dropped. He and Columbia Chairman Amy Pascal contend it was solely because of the concerns about his condition and poor communication on that subject. Even though he has an array of representatives that sounds like the setup for a Hollywood joke -- an agent, a manager and a lawyer -- Maguire takes full responsibility, saying his attitude going into the sequel was "inappropriate."
Whether he was let go simply because of a painful herniated disc or for more complicated reasons, Maguire had a narrow escape. He was saved, in part, by a highly unusual circumstance: He is dating the daughter of Universal chief Ron Meyer. Meyer not only convinced Maguire that he was making the mistake of his life to let the role go without a fight, but he was also willing to lobby on Maguire's behalf. Although Pascal minimizes Meyer's role, sources with firsthand knowledge of these events make it plain that Meyer used a career's worth of experience and good relationships to help get Maguire back into a film that is a major franchise for a rival studio.
For Maguire, the stakes were extremely high. In the past, rising stars have seen their fortunes change when they did not reprise their roles in major action franchises. It happened to Alec Baldwin after he balked at continuing as Jack Ryan in the Paramount Pictures films based on Tom Clancy's bestsellers. And it happened to Val Kilmer after a troublesome turn as Batman.
Maguire was seen as vulnerable in this case because, unlike his close friend Leonardo DiCaprio, he's not a conventional leading man. "You can be a really great actor without being a movie star," says a leading agent not directly involved in the situation. Had he not returned to "Spider-Man," that agent continues, "Tobey Maguire the actor would have survived. But Tobey Maguire the multimillion-dollar movie star? I don't know." Many also believe Maguire, 27, was especially replaceable in the "Spider-Man" sequel because, for a film of this nature, the concept overshadows the actor. After all, a number of actors have played James Bond -- and he works without a mask.
Maguire's career has had an enviable trajectory in the past few years. He cemented his claim to legitimacy with roles in such films as "The Ice Storm," "The Cider House Rules" and "Wonder Boys" before winning the role of "Spider-Man." Many doubted that he was right for the part. He is so small that "Cider House Rules" was shot to minimize the height difference between him and co-star Charlize Theron. He also follows a meatless diet -- his contract requires that his chef travel with him -- and that mad
uhhhh did you not see Major League II?? Omar Epps played a stupendous Willie Mays Hayes.
Great Linux Site
It is official; Netcraft now confirms: *BSD is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a mere fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last [samag.com] in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test. You don't need to be a Kreskin [amazingkreskin.com] to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying.
In the classic Posting Of Stories With Blatant Spelling Mistakes tradition, I hereby apologize for mispelling Tobey Maguire three times in a row.
Yes, I too was in the running for a slashdot editor. (/joke)
Harrison Ford as Jack Ryan vs Alec Baldwin. Sean Connery as James Bond vs Anybody Else. Those are two big ones that come quickly to mind. I am not counting stuff like Michael Keaton being a better Batman than Adam West or the entire cast of MASH the TV show being better than the entire cast of MASH the movie.
For Star or Entertainment or People or the other 3000 tabloids and mindless mass-market celebrity magazines to cover.

You like your new Mac more than you like me, don't you, Dave? Dave? I asked...She said Yes.

The sooner we can get rid of these primadonna actors the better.
Honestly, for the amount of bank that this whiner is getting for making this movie I'd put up with an amazing amount of pain.
Yep, remember kids:
Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday: The MPAA is evil and should be boycotted. Avoid all major studio movies!!!
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Oooooh look shiny new movies/DVDs! Yay!!!
So remember to see Spiderman 2 the day it comes out... provided it comes out on a Tue/Thu/Sat. Otherwise, wait until the next day.
Meyer had more than one pony, so to speak, in this race. Not only was Maguire dating his daughter, he also was in Universal's "Seabiscuit." Meyer got on the phone with Maguire and told him he'd be making a catastrophic mistake if he didn't do everything in his power to get himself back into the movie.
From the sound of things, he'd be making an even worse mistake if he hadn't done everything in his power to get himself back into his boss's daughter. ;-)
Or does anyone else find the idea of someone restricted by a back injury playing the part of an action hero with superpowers more than a tad silly ??
Personally I think they should have got some else to play the part. I doubt many people will go just because Toby is in the movie. From my own experience with back injury it severly restricts the range and fluidity of motion, not something you want to see in your average action super hero. I imagine teh stunt double will end up doinga lot more work on this movie than originally intended.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Let's get back to something geeky.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a much better actor, and this is exactly what he needs to become a household name.
I might pony up the bucks to see a behind-the-scenes intrigue based on that LA time's story. Agents, lawyers girlfriends, neurosurgeons, Sam Raimi, cut-and-paste young stars AND the Matrix producer gets to be the saviour! This story is pre-written for a great Hollywood film possibly only needing the addition of a mob character.
It is amazing the shit that gets approved here. Who cares about high-priced babies in shit fucking movies?
What is this: E fucking news? Get a grip.
"... or the entire cast of MASH the TV show being better than the entire cast of MASH the movie."
Except for Gary Burghoff, who played Radar O'Reilly in both the movie and the TV series.
Hmmmmm. "Fuckwad"??? Must be Micro$ofty lingo...

Now that it's all written out, it's still not funny. AC it is then.

Michael Keaton being a better Batman than Adam West? Are you on drugs?
Have you ever seen Conan O'Brien's pilot he made with Adam West? Neither have I, but I've heard that it's the funniest thing ever aired on teevee. But of course, if you don't like Adam West...
riding round the world on an old motorcycle
If I remember correctly, the studio didn't want Toby for the first film and finally relented when Raimi made sure that Toby would do the sequel. Kind of funny that the studio would dump him after making a stink to get him signed for the sequel in the first place.

James Bond, duuuuuh
Okay, arguably, it isn't really *good*, but it does have 20 sequels, most of which were very popular, so obviously changing actors between sequels isn't too bad (from a producer's point of view, anyway)
Karma: Could be worse (could be raining)
I don't think spiderman would survive if they changed actors, regardless of who could do it better.
Why is it more like Batman than Bond? Because Spiderman is a hero, and Bond is a secret agent.
But then we'll never know...

The spiderman movie had 'targetted demographics' to get women to go to the movie. I would bet private screenings for women to see if they liked the movie and if they didn't some script changes. Maybe.
They actually do that.
I am glad Gyllenhaal is not going to be the next Spiderman. Can you say, "Bubble Boy?" Give Bruce Campbell a bigger part in Spiderman II! Oh yea, Sam Raimi, we need more comedy/horror movies!
Happened to be discussing this yesterday.
Maguire was offered $10 million for the sequel. His agents persuaded him to go for $20. The studios then offered the job to Gyllenhaal for a million or two, who nicely offered to accept.
Maguire then got pissed and ditched his agent at the behest of said girlfriend. He managed to bump his deal to $13 mil and keep her.
Yay for him, I guess.
I recall that there was some problem with Stan Lee over the Spider-Man movie. I read taht he supopsedly got totally cheated out of his cut of the movie profits when the studio said they didnt make any money on it. That article says "The first movie grossed more than $820 million worldwide". Does anyone know what is going on with this?
In Soviet Russia, Toby Maguire is played by Spiderman.
ILoo :)
I remember hearing (this is unsubstantiated) that after "The Hunt for Red October" was a hit, Alec Baldwin demanded an enormous pay increase to play Jack Ryan in the next movie. Imagine his surprise when he was soundly dropped and replaced with Harrison Ford, who I imagine commands a much higher check than Alec Baldwin ever got for a single movie.
The moral of these stories, of course, is that humility is a virtue worth cultivating, because when you get right down to it, nobody's irreplacable. Especially in Hollywood, where (if "The Matrix Reloaded" is any sign of things to come) we'll soon be able to map any actor's face onto a double's body with astonishing ease.
What the fuck is a "sequal"?

Maggie is also the matchmaker to put Kirsten and Jake together on the semi-fasttrack down the aisle, which may have helped Jake's standing in getting the Spiderman role.

Granted, I was afraid that it would suck rocks with both Jack Nickolson playing "I'm wildman Jack Nicholson" and Adam Sandler playing "Hello, I'm Adam Sandler".
But it turned out to be a fairly enjoyable flick. Except for that execrable last 20 minutes. Why the hell they had to ruin the movie with a cutesy happy ending is beyond me. But then again, Hollywood fucked up Brazil in the end, too.

Have you ever seen the Michael Jordan commercials (forget what company they were for)? The one with Bulls MJ playing against 40-year-old MJ. That's exactly what they did there. They found a body double who was basically the same height and skin color and who could play basketball, pasted MJ's head onto his and hence we have Jordan vs. Jordan. Very convincing too. And yes, it still looks realistic when speaking.
I work on 24th between 5th and 6th, where they were shooting a rooftop sequence on my building until yesterday: and the Tobinator was indeed there.
If any fanboy/girlz in the area want a kick, check out the mini-alley on the north side of the street, just east of the "new york deli". The "set" is still dressed with all their fake clotheslines. They did a great job, it looks great. I wish they'd leave it that way: it's a perfect caricature. Very comic-bookey, but it doesn't look out of place. Good work.

This must be some definition of "Interesting" I wasn't previously aware of.
I saw him on Letterman when Spidey 1 was about to come out. Dave was goofing on him, with footage from an ancient black and white spider horror flick.
McGuire *WAS NOT* amused. He looked royally pissed.
I though to myself, "Self, that guy's a dick!". Looks like we were right...
Brazil is gone??? Hmmm still shows up on my maps, and I can buy tickets too.
Food not Bombs is a nice platitude but it breaks down when you notice that the Bombees are usually well fed
Good grief, Tobey was working for Columbia Pictures, and he's dating the daughter of the head of Universal Studios. It clearly says in the article that Meyer is "the head of a rival studio."
200 replies and nobody mentioned this?
Funny. You are a god among insects.

Hannibal Lecter, played by Brian Cox in 'Manhunter' and Anthony Hopkins later. (Quality left to others--but certainly, the later movies have done well.)
El Mariachi, played by Carlos Gallardo in 'El Mariachi' and Antionio Banderas in 'Desperado'. I'm much more partial to Desperado.
Also, upcoming, we have Michael Gambon taking over for the much-missed Richard Harris as Dumbledore in the third Harry Potter movie, which would have to try very hard to be bad. (Provided one likes Harry Potter in the first place, granted.)
So... it's not always such a big deal.
Anyone ever see Donnie Darko??? That's about all you need to say about Jake Gyllenhaal.
I, for one, would have loved to see Gyllenhaal be Spiderman and beat the crap out of that demonic bunny rabbit that tormented him all during Donnie Darko. Hey, that sadistic rabbit would make a more evil-looking villian that the Green Goblin did!

That's a joke only Xena fans will get...
Casino Royale was done twice, once as a movie in 1967 (which was after Dr. No), and once as a TV show in 1954 starring Barry Nelson as James Bond in a Climax! episode. (Note that Climax! was a TV series in the approximate sense that After-School Specials make a series -- no continuity, just a guaranteed slot for an exciting production.) Furthermore, the episode in question was intended as the pilot for a James Bond TV series (to also star Barry Nelson), but the series didn't come to fruition.
Not quite the same thing as a movie franchise shifting gears, but Sean Connery was only the first cinema James Bond, not the first James Bond.
why tell a joke no one will get?
But before Tobey can come back to play Spiderman (which is what everyone would prefer when attitudes aren't flying) he's now going to have to pass a physical and consider a paycut.
Yeah, I heard that he may have to take several million instead of his usual way too many millions.
Geez. I liked it too. But it is a movie.
Joxxxxer...Joxer the Miiigthy
Tobey can come back to play Spiderman (which is what everyone would prefer when attitudes aren't flying) he's now going to have to pass a physical and consider a paycut.
Cmon people. A "paycut" is what people take at a factory to avoid losing their house and make child support payments.
This just changes his status from "exceedingly rich" to only "incredibly wealthy." Poor guy.
A paycut is what they offer the lighting grips.
Frank Stallone proves this point.

Max von Sydow was originally considered for the title role, and he would go on to play Blofeld in Never Say Never Again.
Similarly, Christopher Lee was considered for Dr. No (in Dr. No), and he would go on to play Scaramanga in The Man with the Golden Gun opposite Roger Moore.
Take your signature away, please, no, not John Farnham, and not that song...Christmas 1986, sister's new boombox, compilation tape with "You're the Voice" on it, played at least 27 times...never, ever, refer to that song in public again or my reincarnations will hunt down yours for all eternity... :)

That was a GREAT movie, and shows that Gyllenhaal could have done an excellent job as Peter Parker (with the right script, of course).
Seabiscuit is a Universal film.
Also, Meyer cofounded Tobey's new agency.
