Member AlbertV Posted April 12, 2010 Author Member Share Posted April 12, 2010 The rumor of Lerman being the front runner as Spider-Man has been debunked by Sony themselves. Dark Horizons reports the following: "Here we go again. Sony has issued an official denial and Deadline reports that "insiders at Sony... were very definitive in denying the story, and were sure that Lerman was 100% not going to be Spidey and that he is not on the list of candidates being seriously considered." HitFix says it's standing by its source and story." Update: Added to the shortlist to play Peter Parker is Josh Hutcherson, best known for starring in BRIDGE TO TERIBITHIA, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH opposite Brendan Fraser, and recently seen in CIRQUE DU FREAK: THE VAMPIRE'S ASSISTANT as the lead character's best friend.

Member AlbertV Posted June 9, 2010 Author Member Share Posted June 9, 2010 Okay, Here's some more info on Spider-Man 3D as they are now calling it. There are apparently five contenders for the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I will list the "frontrunner" first: Jamie Bell, 24 - British actor who was in Jumper and Billy Elliott. He is the current frontrunner and possibly a lock. Josh Hutcherson, 18 - the youngest and most experienced of the five, appeared in Bridge to Teribithia and Journey to the Center of the Earth. He might not be able to play Spidey due to commitment on Journey to the Center of the Earth 3-D sequel w/ Brendan Fraser. Andrew Garfield, 26 - appeared in Robert Redford's Lions for Lambs Alden Ehrenreich, 20 - a discovery of Steven Spielberg, he stole the limelight from Vincent Gallo in Fracis Ford Coppola's film Tetro. Frank Dillane, 19 - British actor who appeared as the teenage Tom Riddle in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. For anyone who wants to see headshots of the actors, go to Dark Horizons and you decide. More Spidey 3-D News: Michael Fassbender (Inglorious Basterds) has been approached to make a decision. He may play the young Erik Lensherr in X-Men First Class or the villain in Spider-Man 3-D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted June 10, 2010 Member Share Posted June 10, 2010 Honestly I didn't think Spiderman needed a reboot I think the franchise was great just the way it is! Granted Spideman #3 had to many villains but overall I love the entire series. And Tobey rocked as Spidey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted June 10, 2010 Member Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'm excited for a reboot (not as much as I am for the idea of a "Fantastic Four" reboot) because, in my opinion, it's needed. While I enjoyed the first two Spidey movies and recognize Sam Raimi as a talent, I think I fell a little in love with the concept of the movies and not the movies themselves. After re-watching them, I find it all a little too camp and some of the special effect just terrible. I'm wondering what a fresh director will bring to the Spider Man tale and how he'll present the origin tale in his own unique way. This will also allow Raimi to, perhaps, return with a few new horror efforts and, of course, his "Warcraft" movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted June 10, 2010 Author Member Share Posted June 10, 2010 From what I understand, the new Spider-Man will have James Vanderbilt's original script from 2000 or so that will be a little darker in tone. It is being rumored that The Lizard will be Spidey's nemesis in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member AlbertV Posted June 30, 2010 Author Member Share Posted June 30, 2010 Wow....Marvel apparently pulled a Captain America. It looks like there could be official word that Josh Hutcherson (JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH) may end up getting the role of Spider-Man/Peter Parker. Dark Horizons: Finally today, Blue Sky Disney is claiming that Sony Pictures executives and director Marc Webb have decided on Josh Hutcherson as the new Peter Parker for their upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot. An offer was apparently made and has been accepted by the actor who won the role after several extensive test shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted July 2, 2010 Author Member Share Posted July 2, 2010 IT IS OFFICIAL!!! Andrew Garfield is the new Spider-Man. Marc Webb made the announcement today at a press conference. The 26-year old US/UK citizen won the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted July 4, 2010 Member Share Posted July 4, 2010 I don't know if I like him for the part of Peter Parker really don't remember anything he has been in. Just by his appearance, but hey I could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Pressure Posted July 7, 2010 Member Share Posted July 7, 2010 I think Marvel's films suck for the most part, but I would love to see someone make a good daredevil film. Do we really need another retelling of Spiderman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we really need another retelling of Spiderman. It's only happening because the producers wanted to do a 4th film that would continue the series, but they couldn't gather a good enough story. Therefore, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire left and producers decided to use James Vanderbilt's original script for the 2002 version (apparently more darker in tone) only we now learn that because of Garfield's age, the story will be set in college instead of high school.

Member AlbertV Posted October 4, 2010 Author Member Share Posted October 4, 2010 Latest news on the Spider-Man reboot is that Emma Stone, who was in Zombieland and stars in the recently released Easy A may be playing Mary Jane Watson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted October 5, 2010 Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 She is a good pick for that role. I'm not sold on this Garfield dude though. He doesn't favor Peter Parker IMPO. Guess we'll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we'll see what happens. Definitely! She's perfect as Mary Jane. I still not too excited for this redux. Until I see a trailer and read the reviews, this maybe reduced to the level of The Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and The Punisher movies.

Member daisho2004 Posted October 5, 2010 Member Share Posted October 5, 2010 Again I don't see the need to change Actors! Directors now that is a totally different story, to me Tobey owns that role, its kinda going to feel weird seeing another person play Spider-Man now!

Member The Dragon Posted October 6, 2010 Member Share Posted October 6, 2010 ... to me Tobey owns that role, its kinda going to feel weird seeing another person play Spider-Man now! Sort of like watching Mark Ruffalo play Bruce Banner in the Avengers, instead of Edward Norton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted October 6, 2010 Member Share Posted October 6, 2010 Just got through reading a current post on another forum(how dare me!). Emma Stone is NOT playing Mary Jane. That character isn't slated to be in the reboot. She'll be playing Gwen Stacey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member AlbertV Posted October 6, 2010 Author Member Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yup, just got that one too. So I'm guessing it's going to be the Peter Parker-Gwen Stacy love story. Heard a while back they may not bring MJ in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
