Sony and Marvel are trying to nail down a director quickly to try and start production later this year for a 2012 release date. There has been rumors of other directors being courted as well such as James Cameron and David Fincher, but a director like Webb might be a bit cheaper for the studio. The studio is preparing for a long production schedule since the apparent plan is to shoot in 3D.
I’m all for Marc Webb taking over. He’s a young director whose debut film was one of the best of last year. I’m still not sure that audiences are ready for a reboot of a popular franchise so soon though. Being the comic book geek I am, I can’t help but be slightly excited that Spider-man will be moving back to high school.

My children will be devistaed. They relate Tobey Macguire as the Peter Parker and as the Spiderman. We will be watching tv and they will see him in other movies and my two and three year old will say Peter Parker. Even if Rob Patinson from the Twilight movies replaces him if Tobey Macguire is not spiderman its not worth seeing!!!!!!!!!
