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. |

Spider Man is gonna fight the Annunaki from Nibiru & the Reptilians.

In other words it's getting the Twilight treatment.
Rusty Shackleford - January 12, 2010 07:19 PM (GMT)
Here's hoping Spidey won't be glittery.
samyG - January 12, 2010 07:44 PM (GMT)
Idk, it could work. Are they still going to make an Avengers movie? I heard that production has stopped for Thor.
Rusty Shackleford - January 12, 2010 08:13 PM (GMT)
Principal photography on Thor just started a few days ago, and it took Spider-man 4's May 6, 2011 release date. The Avengers movie is still happening, too. Scheduled for release on May 4, 1012. Which is after Iron Man 2 on May 7, 2010 and The First Avenger: Captain America on July 22, 2011.
Billy Shitshanker - January 12, 2010 08:14 PM (GMT)
YESSS!!!!
All these new movies should be dope, besides fail spiderman T_T
Rusty Shackleford - January 12, 2010 08:16 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I'm pretty hyped about the movies leading up to the Avengers, like Iron Man 2 and Thor. I'm not big on Captain America, but I'm sure I'll still see it.
Billy Shitshanker - January 12, 2010 08:18 PM (GMT)
would be sick if capt america got frozen at the end of his movie and the avengers was all about bringing him back to fight some huge evil
Rusty Shackleford - January 12, 2010 08:20 PM (GMT)
I wish they would do a movie on the Civil War storyline. That shit would be dope. That's what Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2's story is.

isn't that when America trys to rewire the nuke that's going off, ends up landing it into the Atlantic and freezing himself?

Nah, Civil War is where a law is passed that all super humans have to register with the government and basically come out in the open with who they really are. Iron Man leads the Pro-Registration team of guys in a hunt for the Captain America lead Anti-Registration rebels.

Spiderman is pretty homosexual

Probably why it sounds so familiar
Milenko Foulcraze - January 13, 2010 01:45 AM (GMT)
TL:DR (most of it)
So they are making ANOHTER film in the same series, or are they starting a new one?
Rusty Shackleford - January 13, 2010 02:01 AM (GMT)
Starting over basically. Sam Raimi backed out and rather than replacing him, they decided to reboot the franchise.

I'll read it some time when my eyes ain't all bugged out.
ThatNinja - January 13, 2010 05:17 AM (GMT)
Spiderman's eyes are bugged out.

After the epic fail of sam raimi's Venom, i'm glad it's getting the reboot. Though Steve Buscemi as Canarge has been playing in my head.

Holy shit, that might be a good pick. Never thought of that. Although I'm sure Carnage will be just as epic of a failure. The Spider-man franchise has been aimed towards kids (Toys, Happy Meals, etc.), so I don't see them putting in a mass murderer (Cletus Kasady, who becomes Carnage), without seriously butchering him.
Billy Shitshanker - January 13, 2010 10:37 PM (GMT)
Quick question, ive seen tons of carnage's with cleavage whats the deal with that?
