Is this a little bit of a Disney influence? Or is this something that should’ve been done all along?
Marvel Studios and Columbia Pictures has pulled the plug on the current Spider-Man franchise, opting instead to do a reboot, putting Peter Parker in high school. That means director Sam Raimi is out, and star Tobey Maguire is out.
“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,” said Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment, in a release. “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 is 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.”
The reboot will be produced by Columbia, Marvel, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin. It’s unclear when this new movie would go into production, or when it would be released, although 2012 has been bantied about.
