Spider-Man, Spider-Man

Here we go!!! First revamped blog post. Exciting! So, one of the stories I followed on my other blog was the Spider-Man reboot. Quick refresher, production on Spider-Man 4 came to a halt after the studio couldn't come up with a proper script. So the cast/Sam Raimi walked and Sony announced plans for a full reboot. Why now instead of, ohhh, 10-15 years from now when films 1-3 have a chance to fade from the pop-culture lens, who knows? But, Sony and new/former music video director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) are going full steam ahead and are currently looking for a new Peter Parker! Basically every name in Hollywood under 25 has been thrown around including the beastly Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson and the Olympians)**** but Slashfilm uncovered a new shortlist today! The front-runners are:

Jamie Bell (too old in my opinion, but an interesting choice otherwise)


Andrew Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus)


Alden Ehrenhreich (that last name was a bitch to me) Who'd like to tell me who this guy is? Anyone?


Frank Dillane (teenage Tom Riddle in HBP)


and the always-welcome-in-my-life/jailbait/I mean wut?? Josh Hutcherson (It was way too hard to find a non-douchey post-puberty picture)

Okay, so what are our thoughts? Any preferences? Did the Tom Riddle picture make you giggle as much as I did?? I think it's the soft-focus...

Or are we just against this whole venture? For those of you who are (like me) let's just get out our 500 Days of Summer DVDs and wait for our very own Joseph Gordon-Levitt to sashay into our lives. Animated bird and all...

**** The only problem I have with Logan Lerman is the fact that he starred in that Percy Jackson disaster. Get out of here with that mess!! #HPftw
