Leggo che la Marvel intende produrre un nuovo film
su l’Uomo Ragno, ovvero Spider-Man. Sarebbe già stato deciso
l’attore destinato ad impersonare il giovane Peter Parker, ovvero l’attore
britannico Tom Holland.
Negli ultimi anni, dal 2002 al 2014, sono
stati proposti ben 5 film su Spider-Man. Prima ci fu la “trilogia”, o
meglio, i tre film diretti da Sam Raimi (Spider-Man 1, 2, 3), con
protagonisti Tobey Maguire (Peter Parker), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane
Watson), James Franco (Harry Osborn) e, nel primo, Willem Dafoe, che
inevitabilmente interpretò la parte del “cattivo”, ovvero Goblin.
In fondo c’era da essere sufficientemente
soddisfatti, anche perché se si escludono alcune produzioni USA anni 70, che in
fondo erano episodi di una serie televisiva adattati per essere spacciati per
film, si era rimasti ai cartoni animati un po’ ingenui che si guardava
da bambini.
Però nel 2012 e nel 2014 il regista Marc Webb, anche se in fondo non se ne sentiva il bisogno,
ci "regala" “The Amazing Spider-Man” e “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” (evidentemente
anche lui temeva non sapessimo contare), che oltre ad avere come
protagonista Andrew Garfield (nessuna parentela con il gatto pare, anche se
quest’ultimo recita meglio), ha almeno il merito di introdurre il personaggio di
Gwen Stacy, interpretato da Emma Stone, che di lì a poco andrà non solo a
recitare per Woody Allen ma addirittura a vincere un Oscar come attrice non
protagonista in “Birdman” (evidentemente, anche se si hanno gli occhi da rospo, essere l’amore sfortunato di un supereroe fa curriculum!).
Non so esattamente quando quest’ultima produzione
giungerà sugli schermi, forse a quella data potrò accompagnare al cinema mio
figlio, giusto come scusa per poter vedere ancora in azione Peter Parker, anche
se non sono sicuro di volermi sorbire nuovamente la trafila “morso del ragno -
zio Ben che muore – Norman Osborne che strippa e con un senso estetico
opinabile si mette una maschera e diventa Goblin”!
Nel frattempo mi
riascolto Ode To A Superhero di
"Weird Al" Yankovic (una gustosa
parodia di cui propongo anche il testo) e Spider-man dei Ramones
(con immagini del già citato cartone
animato, tra l’altro!!). In fondo tutto il precedente pistolotto era per
giustificare i due video!
Ode To A Superhero
Peter Parker was pitiful
Couldn't have been any shyer
Mary Jane still wouldn't notice him
Even if his hair was on fire

But then one day he went to that science lab
That mutated spider came down
Oh, and now Peter crawls over everyone's walls
And he's swingin' all over town

Now Harry the rich kid's a friend of his
Who horns in on Mary Jane
But to his great surprise it seems she prefers guys
Who can kiss upside down in the rain

"With great power comes great

That's the catch phrase of old Uncle Ben
If you missed it, don't worry, they'll say the line
Again and again and again

It's a pretty sad day at the funeral

Aw, but his buddy Pete he can trust
