Now while I'm only 14 years old right now, It's been my dream for a long time to be involved with the movie/TV industry. And for a while now I've had this idea for a live-action Spider-Man series.
Now at first, I tried thinking of my concept as a film series, but to tell you the truth, I didn't think it would work.
I wanted to retell the origin, but since it's been told 2 times already I was afraid that it'd be more stale than people said The Amazing Spider-Man was.
I also re-used many villains from the previous trilogy as well as Amazing, so I didn't want to re-tread ground in terms of a film franchise.
So in order for it to seem a little more fresh, I felt it'd be best if it were adapted in a television format, but not as an animated series. I really think that since a television series is more of a serialized format than film, it could provide a great opportunity to tell a long running story. The origin could be expanded to not just one episode, but many more.
I'd pull things from several sources, but mainly Amazing Fantasy #15, Ultimate Spider-Man, the first Spider-Man film, The Spectacular Spider-Man, and The Amazing Spider-Man in terms of the origin.
It'd take place at Oscorp, but Peter doesn't actually have a motivation for going there. He finds out about his father working for Oscorp after looking through some old things, and he researches the place when he finds out that his class is going on a field trip, but he doesn't go there by himself like in TASM.
He works as a wrestler mainly for cash so he could help Aunt May and Uncle Ben with the bills and gets his costume there in the process.
The robbery scene happens in a similar set-up and environment (convenience store) as in TASM, but the robber would be Walter Hardy as in The Spectacular Spider-Man. Uncle Ben would also get shot but it would happen at the home as he's going to his car to search for Peter after they get into an argument. Walter tries to steal Ben's car to get away, and Ben gets shot in the process. When Peter gets home, he obviously sees cops and an ambulance at the scene and he goes to Uncle Ben's side as he gets taken into the ambulance. This obviously leads to him becoming a vigilante to search for his Uncle's killer.
I know that this origin synopsis might be a little choppy in the way I described it, but I'm mainly trying to point out what I'd try to do to make it seem different from other incarnations by picking and choosing certain ideas I liked and trying to make them work as a cohesive whole. I'm sorry if this is a confusing post but I'll try to think of a better format to put this stuff in when I have the time. Also, if this is the wrong place to put this thread, feel free to notify the mods so they can move it.
