In a THR article, Columbia Pictures president Matt Tolmach talked about Marc Webb’s upcoming 3D Spider-Man reboot. Here is what he had to say about it:

 [Tolmach] also cautioned that moviemakers are in “a golden moment of technology,” with 3D and various other digital techniques at their disposal. “With great power comes great responsibility, and we have to always fall back on great storytelling,” he said. Tolmach also said he’s excited but nervous about his company’s upcoming Spider-man reboot, which he described as “Peter Parker told differently.” He promised it will look, feel and smell different from the three films starring Tobey Maguire. “We’re humbled by it,” he said. 

I’ve said it before, so please, A. Sony, don’t mess up Spider-man. I loved Spider-man 1-3, and B. Please don’t go the high school emo route. PLEASE don’t follow the Twilight lead. Now for my little rant: The reason Spider-man 4 fell apart wasn’t due to budgets, which is the reason a lot of movies fall apart. It had to do with the fact that Sony and Sam Raimi couldn’t come together on an agreement. As many know, Sam Raimi did not want to have Venom in the 3rd Spider-man film, but Sony is the one who pushed/forced him. Now there is news of the new reboot for the Spider-man series. My problem with origin stories is this: WE KNOW. I know how Superman came to Earth, I know how Batman’s parents were killed, and I certainly know that Spider-man was bitten by a radioactive spider. People want to go on with the stories and the myths; they do not want to see the same part of the story repeat over a decade and then be rebooted again. Hell, Spider-man still feels fresh in everybody’s mind. Also, Marc Webb did (500) Days of Summer. That, to me, does not scream Spider-man…
