Marc Webb for (Spider-Man) Days of Summer
>> Jan 21, 2010
Sony Pictures has officially announced that Marc Webb, the director of "(500) Days of Summer", is the one who will replaced Mr. Raimi to direct the "Spider-Man" reboot. "At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker's life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter's shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man's adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey."
In addition, THR now has a bit more information about the project.
# Webb is set to direct an entire new trilogy, which will look and feel very different from the Sam Raimi movies. The plan for the first movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so no Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.
# The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.
# The film will go into production this year and appear in theaters during the summer of 2012.
