Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012.
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. www.superherohype.com/news/spider-mannews.php?id=8976 |

Venom not being that twerp from That '70s Show would be a good thing. Too bad they didn't go with that rumour of the Rock playing Venom. Not only is the Rock built like Eddie Brock he probably would have been great with the psychotic humour blah blah blah was a longer post but proboards decided to be a jerk Yes I can totally see it now... he's putting a pounding on Spidey... has the mask ooze off and proclaims "If you SMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT THE BROCK IS COOKING!" |

What the hell? I was so hoping they would do 4 and use Mysterio. Seeing him in a live-action role would be brilliant.

I was always curious what they would do with the lizard. Personally, I thought SM3 should have ended with Spidey still having the symbiote and using it to defeat Sandman and Harry and then introducing Lizard and Venom in SM4. Lizard is getting all this back-story and it lead nowhere and Venom was just rushed. |

Hopefully this one wont be as cringingly cheesy as the other one. I don't want every comic book movie thinking they can be The Dark Knight though. Like, seriously? You want Fantastic Four to be serious and realistic?

The guy that begged Venom to help him stop Carnage, then turned his back on Venom because Spidey "isn't Captain America." Yeah because you have to be Captain America to be honest?  Could it be that Venom hates Parker because the jack ass can't keep his word? |
