We’ll start with the new “Spiderman” movie.
One of the opening scenes shows the webslinger spinning a net in between the two towers of the World Trade Center.
NOT!
Any other movies or shows that are going to have to be reshot or scrapped?

Actually, the WTC trailer for Spider-Man was just that – a trailer. Apparantly the scene was never intended to appear in the movie itself.
Other movies that will be postponed: Arnold Schwartzenegger’s revenge-on-terrorists flick Collateral Damage and the based-on-a-Dave-Barry-novel comedy Big Trouble. (I hope they release the latter eventually; the cast alone made it worth seeing.)
Further info on changes to upcoming movies can be found here.
I imagine the video and DVD releases for Swordfish will be delayed since Travolta’s character makes a comment about terrorists blowing up the World Trade Center. Bummer. I was really looking forward to owning that one.
Regarding the Swordfish thing, I don’t think it will be delayed. It wasn’t scheduled until 10/30, which is still 6 weeks from now.

So … how much do y’all think the promotional posters for Spider-Man that show the WTC Twin Towers reflected in his eyes are going to sell for on eBay in a few months?
Sigh. I think Arnold kicking some terrorist ass would’ve made me feel a little better.
Is it wrong to hope that the next Adam Sandler movie was going to feature the World Trade Center?
Has Fox shown any of their normal broadcast this week? I noticed that they Didn’t show ** X-Files: Fight The Future** last night as scheduled. It may have been coincidental, but that the movie has a building blow up in the first 20 minutes can’t have made them consider showing it… good thing I have it on video.
Does this answer your question?
Note the “Buy It Now” price.
I wrote the person selling that poster and this is what I said:
You [expletive deleted] jackass. Way to profit on others’ death and misery. I hope you never have to deal with a tragedy like this, but if you do I hope some other insensitive [expletive deleted] will sell price-inflated memorabilia of your own personal hell. And I don’t care if you flame me back. Go right on ahead, I’m waiting for it.
That just makes me sick.
God that guy is so full of s*%t. The posters are in the theatres and so are banners. What you should do is let the studio know that this pin-head theatre manager is selling their property.
They are planning on reshooting the end of Men in Black 2 where the WTC was fetured prominently.
Don’t forget that in Collateral Damage, Arnold is a fire fighter fighting against terrosits who killed his wife and child.
Also, Fox canceled a showing of Independence Day on television this weekend.
