Spider-Man is the big film bomb of the week and Director Marc Webb, (500) Days of Summer director, is getting buzz and reports that he apparently is on the top of Sony’s list to direct the new reboot(s) of Spider-Man. According to Mike Fleming of Deadline Hollywood reports this interesting news rumor. Finke says “Webb met about the Spidey reboot with the pic’s producers and executives looking to get the picture into production later this year for a Summer 2012 release.”

Fleming also states, “What has Sony execs excited is the fact that (500) Days of Summer introduced a director with a grasp of how to depict the way young people think and feel. This is critical because the Jamie Vanderbilt script covers the formative years of a high school-aged Peter Parker, and that POV is as important as the action sequences.”

Now I find that just a bit hilarious and wrong in many levels. Just because he did one movie on the lives of some 20 something year olds that he knows what they are thinking.  Fleming’s source also goes on to say that Webb has met with the producers and that they are gun-ho on a possibility of 3-D.

This could be good and bad I think. I mean he has a good sense of perspective on the human condition I would say from what he did in (500)DOS, buttttt with all this new technology and situations of filming in 3D is he up to par? Plus he hasn’t really been in depth with really any film experience and just directing music videos. Not saying that’s a bad thing, but with a big budget superhero movie, sounds a little intimidating, but I’m sure he would be up to the task.

Webb, I would also assume has no experience in the superhero genre or no prior knowledge of the superhero other than what is depicted in films. And who would be in this Marc Webb Spider-Man universe? If he chose Joseph Gordon-Levitt, that would be quite interesting. But would the freaks at Sony think Levitt is too old? Does Sony want to make this a truly High School Musical meets Twilight? I dear hope not.
