Not a huge superhero movie guy, but this is pretty big news. Maguire out, Raimi out- restarting the franchise. I hope to god we don't have to go through more origin stuff, but apparently the movie will take place in high school.
Zac Efron for Parker! :P

Rebooting an eight year old franchise? A franchise where the most recent film is only two years old.
Jesus Christ that is pitiful.
It should clue anybody thinking of going to see this trash that the director and cast are leaving because the studio cares about nothing but cashing in on the series. This new film will be a pile of ToS - Profanity pushed out to trick idiots in to wasting money.
If they get that giant ToS - Sexual slang from Twilight to play Parker it will be instant success.

Yeah I have to agree, Twilight's popularity is stupid. It was mildly entertaining as a movie, but not even one I'd watch a second time.

Honestly I don't see why they don't just continue the franchise with a new actor and director. But if anything can be rebooted this quickly, it's a comic book movie. Like I said, just gloss over the origin in the opening credits or first sequence... don't drag it out. If they could get Edgar Wright or somebody attached, it could be a good opportunity. It's all on who is behind the movie.

Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012.
*********************************************************************************
Short version:
Sony Pictures decided today to reboot the Spider-Man franchise after franchise director Sam Raimi pulled out of Spider-Man 4 because he felt he couldn't make its summer release date and keep the film's creative integrity. This means that Raimi and the cast including star Tobey Maguire are out. There will be no Spider-Man 4.
*********************************************************************************
Full article:
Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.
The new chapter in the "Spider-Man" franchise produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios and Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, will have a new cast and filmmaking team. Spider-Man 4 was to have been released in 2011, but had not yet gone into production.
"A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three 'Spider-Man' films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise. Peter Parker as an ordinary young adult grappling with extraordinary powers has always been the foundation that has made this character so timeless and compelling for generations of fans. We're very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots and we look forward to working once again with Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin on this new beginning," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment.
"Working on the 'Spider-Man' movies was the experience of a lifetime for me. While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job," said Sam Raimi.
"We have had a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration and friendship with Sam and Tobey and they have given us their best for the better part of the last decade. This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone else's hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable," said Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, who has served as the studio's chief production executive since the beginning of the franchise. "Now everything begins anew, and that's got us all tremendously excited about what comes next. Under the continuing supervision of Avi and Laura, we have a clear vision for the future of Spider-Man and can't wait to share this exciting new direction with audiences in 2012."
"'Spider-Man' will always be an important franchise for Sony Pictures and a fresh start like this is a responsibility that we all take very seriously," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures. "We have always believed that story comes first and story guides the direction of these films and as we move onto the next chapter, we will stay true to that principle and will do so with the highest respect for the source material and the fans and moviegoers who deserve nothing but the best when it comes to bringing these stories and characters to life on the big screen."
The studio will have more news about Spider-Man in 2012 in the coming weeks as it prepares for production of the film.

Hmm, so the (500) Days of Summer director is apparently the front runner. I guess he's Hollywood's next golden boy. I have it in my Netflix queue, so hopefully I will see it soon. People think this means Joseph Gordon Levitt will play Spiderman, but I think he's getting a little long in the tooth to play a high schooler.

So the Pattinson as Spiderman talk has begun in earnest....
When I heard they were going teen, I thought they couldn't be courting the Twilight audience, could they? If only because the character is so different from anything in the series. But with this... ugh. I don't have anything against the guy. I actually thought he was good in the Harry Potter movie he was in, but this just strikes me as so desperate.

I will NOT see it if they pick either of the twilight guys to play Parker, neither of them have the 'nerdy' vibe Parker is suppose to have, at least with Maguire you could believe he was a geek/nerd I'd have a hard time believing the other two, especially considering from what I've seen their acting skills aren't exactly really high up...for example even in Harry Potter he only had a few lines but I wouldn't call it great but I'll give him a break there, was his first big film and he wasn't in it much, but Twilight was just awful

You don't get Borderlands references but you can write a dissertation on the male leads in Twilight.
I demand you get unmarried right this instant, it is ruining you.

Pick the most abhorrent shoes there.
Break her confidence in your ability to shop and she will be afraid to let you come. This will open up time to play Borderlands.
