Webb gets caught up in Spidey

Sony Pictures wants to get their Spider-Man remake on the fast track big time as they quickly hire 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb to helm the feature. Penning the script is James Vanderbilt who was previously attached to the now canned Spider-Man 4. Producing will be Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin with the studio already set to start filming later this year, reports Variety.

A huge uproar emerged from the internet world when Sam Raimi jumped ship on Spider-Man 4 from Sony Pictures, sounding more like a divorce than anything else with their ‘irreconcilable differences’. Now that he’s out of the picture, Sony is completely re-buffering their highly successful comic book franchise that is not even a decade old. Now that the writer and the director are set, it’s only a matter of time until we find out who will be cast onto the picture.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
