Fellow Spider-Man fans, we have a title! Sony announced today that the upcoming reboot will be called The Amazing Spider-Man.
The movie is currently in production, which we all know from the leaked spy pics and videos, and being shot entirely in 3-D, according to a press release from the studio. The movie now has an official website, but aside from an awesome photo of Spidey, there isn't much there.
The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield alongside Emma Stone as Peter Parker's high school girlfriend, Gwen Stacy; Rhys Ifans, who will play the villain of the movie, possibly Dr. Curt Connors, aka the Lizard; Denis Leary as Police Captain George Stacy, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben; and Sally Field as Aunt May.
The movie's being directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt, Alvin Sargent, and Steve Kloves based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee, (who is also an executive producer) and Steve Ditko.
What do you think of the title? Is it a homage to the superhero's comic book origins or too campy for a movie coming out in 2012?
Next Showing:The Amazing Spider-Man opens July 3, 2012

Well, being shot entirely in 3D is a plus!...I hope there would be a lot of action scenes eventhough they are still in high school, so we could appreciate more the 3D expeience...

Marc Webb is Spider-Man Reboot Director

Dallas Movie Examiner Adam Johnson

Expect to see less heroic web-slinging

LOTS of news about the upcoming Spider-Man 4/Spider-Man Reboot in the news this past week.

First off, ironically-named director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) officially signed on to be the man behind the lens for the "reboot" of Spider-Man.  Spidey 4 is deader than Uncle Ben, as the supposed 300 Million dollar budget and Sam Raimi's insistent use of Golden Age Villains in contemporary tentpole films earned him the axe.

This "reboot" will instead use a budget of only 80 Million, vastly smaller than any of the other films, and will feature a cast of relative unknowns, so you can squash the rumors of Joseph Gordon Levitt, who Webb directed in "summer."  The story will also be pared down and center on Peter Parker once again back in high school, who is trying to deal with the teeny angst of knowing his Uncle was killed when he could have done something about it.

The new film will be based more closely on the "Ultimate" line of Spider-Man comics, where there is more characterization and villains and their diabolical plots take a serious backseat.

The film will use that James Vanderbilt script and is set for a summer 2012 release.

It's going to be interesting to see just how this all works out, and whether or not will be out after a single film (he has sequel rights.) And whether or not the lack of any huge action sequences in a tentpole superhero franchise is actually a good idea.

If you ask this Examiner, Sony wants to use the name of Spider-Man to do another 600 mil in business and spend alot less doing it.  They could care less about the film or its fans.

Expect more news soon.

I think I like this...where there is more characterization in his teens period.  But would it still be possible that there would be NOT-for-teens fighting scenes?  I love a good story together with a hardcore fighting scenes... =)...please?!...
