“District 9” The edge of a cliff is an Being There! Without the cancellation of the blockbuster production, this unique SF would not have been born!

There are other examples where recovery from setbacks brought Being There...

By the way, in this vast world of movies, what other blockbuster movies have made a comeback after being canceled? When I thought about it...that's right! “ Spider-Man: Homecoming ” is a very timely work!

The `` Spider -Man'' series has been produced with a lot of heart for Sony Pictures, but after it shifted to a more youthful direction directed by Marc Webb, who directed `` (500) Days of Summer, '' it was not able to keep up with the trend, and the series was released in 2012 and 2014. After a series of sequels, the third installment, which was scheduled to follow that one, ended up being canceled.

It's easy to imagine the pain felt by Andrew Garfield, the lead actor, Emma Stone, the heroine, and director Marc Webb, but they were actually heroes who turned a crisis into an Being There and took flight.

Garfield went on to break new ground by starring in `` Silence' ' and `` Hacksaw Ridge, '' while Emma Stone won the Best Actress Oscar for ` `La La Land. '' Awarded. Webb has also returned to his original style and has directed two feature films, ``Gifted'' and ``The Only Living Boy in New York.''

And for Sony Pictures, ``Spider-Man: Homecoming,'' a fresh reboot with a new, younger lead actor, has started off as a huge hit worldwide, with good results in all respects. The very edge of a cliff is a sign of Being There. Although ``God only knows the outcome,'' I believe that what will be brought about will vary greatly depending on what kind of bold reversal we can take.
