Unknown for now, but the news leaked from protected sources close to Columbia Pictures!


Who should play Spider-Man?

JESSE EISENBERG
The star of "Zombieland" and "Adventureland" would come into the new Spider-Man film with one of the nerdiest lists of credits ever if snagged to play Peter. Of course, he'd need to jump into the role right after portraying Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," too. He may be getting a little old play a teenager, but depending on how young the cast around him looks, he could work.



Or..

MICHAEL WELCH
This young "Twilight" actor has a boyish enough face to pass for Parker at the right age, just so long as he can deliver with the character's awkward mannerisms. Since he's already been in two "Twilight" installments and a Star Trek film ("Insurrection"), he's probably well-adjusted to starring in front of geek fandom.



Or..

ERIK KNUDSON
If you don't recognize Erik Knudson as the young loner from the TV series "Jericho," you will after you see him as Luke "Crash" Wilson in "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." By that time he'll be fully orientated into the world of comic book film, and if he's going to keep going up, he might as well pick one of the most recognizable superheroes in the world.



Or..

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT
It might be strange seeing the same actor who once played Cobra Commander take on Marvel's webslinger, but his name was once floated as a possible Tobey Maguire successor if Maguire walked. This is another case where an older cast might need to be installed around him to make him look young, but he definitely has the nerdy demeanor to do the
character.



Or..

PATRICK FUGIT
Fugit also showed up in reports a while back as a potential Maguire replacement, and his IMDb credits, which include the aspiring writer in "Almost Famous" and Jena Malone's love interest in "Saved!" read like the perfect buildup to playing a young Peter Parker
Peter Parker will return to school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in summer 2011. It is the beginning, and most importantly, an official statement signed by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios. Therefore, no delay is canceled definitely 'Spider-Man 4'; goodbye to Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, among others. Welcome to a new Spider-Man 1 with new director and a new cast (to see who show called Peter Parker, if he returns to school).
In the last article I published on the subject, I dropped the "reboot" of the saga seemed the best option, but I hoped it would happen so soon. As one reader comments, just eight years have passed since the first movie, is it time to get back to the beginning again? Maybe not, but it is also true that with another superhero (and Marvel) as Hulk took even less, only been five years since Ang Lee's vision and that of Louis Leterrier, none of which worked at the box office as its producers hoped .
The news also was somewhat surprised me for other reasons. A few days ago, right after they delayed the production of 'Spider-Man 4', Maguire made a statement to the press in which he reassured the fans saying that making a movie like this was a very complicated process, very long but had a great story and he was thrilled with the idea of continuing the development of Peter Parker. You see I had no idea what really happened, or that the decision of "reboot" has been more precipitous than expected.


On the other hand,also recently, John Malkovich was in an Italian television program where he was asked about the rumor that marked him as the new villain of the franchise, playing Volture, or the Vulture. Malkovich confirmed they had spoken with him, but said he was still waiting to send him the script. Could it be that the actor was the first signing for the new Spider-Man, or perhaps it is also excluded, along with Raimi, who apparently was eager to sign him from the first film. We'll see, there is still much for the summer of 2011.
No less surprising is read, the same official statement announcing the "reboot" the new film will have a script written by James Vanderbilt ( "Zodiac"), which if you remember is the one who had written 'Spider -Man 4 ', before his work was modified by David Lindsay-Abaire, Gary Ross and Alvin Sargent, for allegedly Raimi was not entirely happy with the plot. It seems that in the end have preferred the vision of Vanderbilt, which incidentally, was contracted for two more installments. The strange thing is that I have a script, or at least a first draft, when he was talking to do anything of the quarter. Vanderbilt Was working on this, while Lindsay-Abaire, Ross and Sargent rewriting his work for 'Spider-Man 4'?
No idea, I'll leave to you, if anything seems strange to me as if they had bypassed Raimi early. I'm going for a coffee. And I'd like to read around your ideal casting. As I call the Marvel and does not have a couple of good names, I'm going to roll brown.
PD: 'Spider-Man' took 140 million and grossed 820 in the whole world, and 2 are made with 200 and grossed 780; the budget of the 3 (and last) was 260 million and made 890. Menudo business on Spiderman.
Whither Spider-Man? After franchise director Sam Raimi's abrupt departure, Sony has intrigued and confused film fans by signing an unlikely replacement. Marc Webb — best known for directing the indie dramedy "(500) Days of Summer" — will helm the blockbuster series' next installment, a prequel focused on the private life of Spider-Man's alter-ego, Peter Parker. Can Webb, however aptly named, overcome his rep for whimsy and deliver another Spidey hit?
Webb will be a studio puppet: "I'm worried about this," sighs J. Pines at Brand New Cool. Sony hired Webb because he's "good enough to do the job" but not sufficiently high profile to "go against the studio's ideas." Equally troubling: A plot focused on Spider-Man's "private life"? We don't need to know "what's on his iPod" — and we don't need another "superhero movie that doesn't focus on the superhero part."
"Marc Webb new director of Spider-Man 4 "

Webb's the right director for a softer Spidey:
Given that Webb's only prior movie, "(500) Days of Summer," is charming, but "ultimately lightweight," says Edmund Mullins at Black Book, expect a "toned-down" Spider-Man with "softer edges" than its predecessors. Still, if fans have to deal with an "angst-ridden" Spiderman who's more likely to fight "acne" than "big league villains," Webb's probably an appropriate choice.
"Marc Webb to direct (sensitive?) Spider-Man Re-Boot"

Give Webb a chance:
Alright, he has "big shoes to fill," says Adam Sweeney at Film School Rejects.com, but we can't think of anyone "better equipped" to "balance the tightrope" between "humor, action and suspense" that the Spider-Man movies require. Our bet is that this acclaimed director will "breathe new life" into a "franchise that was gasping for air."
