Some people are speculating that Avatar contributed to the downfall of the latest Spider-Man movie, which was due out May 5, 2011. How did these blue creatures from Pandora lead to the demise of Peter Parker?
According to Vulture, after director Sam Raimi watched the visually stunning Avatar, he wanted to incorporate all kinds of cutting-edge technology and CGI into Spider-Man 4. However, these special effects would push back the release date, something Sony Pictures wasn't willing to accommodate.
So now both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are out, and a franchise reboot is expected for 2012.
As for more immediate movies, The Book of Eli and The Lovely Bones both come out today, as well as some cheesy Jackie Chan movie.
