New ‘Spider-Man’ Reboot Gets a Director
The new reboot of Spider-Man has Marc Webb attached to direct.
Filmmaker Marc Webb has signed on to direct the new Spider-Man film, after the departure of Sam Raimi from the blockbuster superhero franchise.
Webb was behind one of 2009′s sleeper hits (500) Days Of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Gordon-Levitt is one of a crop of actors whose names have been connected with the Spider-Man role since Tobey Maguire announced he was quitting.
The fourth instalment will focus on the superhero’s early years.
The studio has to move fast to get this project going if they want to make the Summer 2012 release that they’ve promised the public. A big surprise is that the budget is being projected at a mere $80 million! The first Spider-Man film was made for $140 million and the last two were way more than that! It will be interesting to see how this one comes out.
