Comics are under attack and the future of comics is at great risk. Every month the Hollywood studios get us excited with a new comic release and every month they disappoint us by taking the stories we love, paying no respect to the original creation, and making unnecessary and arbitrary alterations to dumb them down. Why do they do this? Because they believe that dumbing down equates to box office. As true comic fans, how much longer can we just stand aside and watch our beloved stories be exploited? Who is going to stand up and defend our stories against these injustices?
Compatriots of the comic book community, there is a time for change and that time is now. We need to show the studios how much better these movies would be if they would just follow the original comic stories. We are going pick up where Spider-Man 2 leaves off and make a version of Spider-Man 3 that is completely loyal to the original Spider-Man series before Sony Pictures goes into production next summer. We are then going to take this 20 minute film to Marvel and show them how compelling even a limited budget film can be when that film stays true to the original story. Once they see that they can fulfill their duty to protect the sanctity of comics and make money at the same time, they will force Sony to also stay true to the comic and save the franchise before its too late. If Spider-Man changes its ways, so will the rest.
We know this is no easy task, but with your help we can do it!
