The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.

The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade’s “Ultimate Spider-Man†comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.

Please keep in mind that none of this is confirmed and we may not know for sure until closer to release. Stay tuned for more announcements as they come in...

Stephen Lunsford as Parker isn't all that farfetch'd now

 

[The 2nd Evil]

I can't say I'm upset about that excerpt.

 

[Arkvoodle]

This could really go either way. Need to see/hear more.

 

[Kamen Rider Armor Ninja]

I guess im one of the more openminde for this i dont know, i realy wonder how this turns out.

 

[DigDoug]

I'm pretty psyched about it being based more on Ultimate Spider-Man. The only thing is that I certainly don't remember the comics having quite as much grittiness and angst as these guys keep saying.

What I do hope, though, is that they retain a similar sense of humor that Ultimate Spidey had.

More about the high school angst over the villain fighting.... me likes.

 

[Bolt]

Even though Raimi's films were (supposedly) based on/inspired by the 60s comics, I never did really like them very much, and I felt like pretty much everyone in the cast was just a bit off. Hopefully this will be more to my liking, and I especially hope that they change that godawful costume from 1-3.

 

[VengeanceGOD]

I agree with Bolt - the cast from Raimi's set were pretty fucking terrible. Here's hoping this restart works out well.

 

[Quark]

No more origin story movies. Please.

 

[Bolt]

Jesus, especially for Spider-Man. I can only watch that old man get shot so many times.
