Marc Webb confirmed for 'Spider-Man' reboot

I'm really sick of all these recent "Spider-Man" news. I really stopped caring after hearing that Sony would reboot the franchise without Sam Raimi and Tobery Maguire. What's the point in doing this so early?

Anyway, the studio confirmed Marc Webb will direct the new "Spider-Man" film. Webb is known best for directing last summer's hit flick "(500) Days of Summer." The new Spidey flick will hit theaters 2012.

James Vanderbilt wrote the script for the film, which follows Peter Parker in high school. I know it sounds sucky, and chances are it will be. Anyway, the film will surely make money and provoke sequels.

Meanwhile, Risky Business reports Webb has option for two sequels. Apparently, the budget for this new film will be set around $80 million, and even the actors are rumored to be relatively unknown.

The story is said to be based on the “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. Meanwhile, Webb is also attached to direct "Jesus Christ Superstar." Good luck with all of that!
