Marc Webb was rumored and now he's confirmed to pick up the reigns of the Sony reboot of Spider-man after Sam Raimi and Co. walked away. Raimi was adamant about one villain; the studio another. The studio also wanted a 3D picture and on the same deadline, and Raimi was set to shoot in one month and had no one on his crew who knew 3D. So Raimi walked, and the studio was fine with it as they were developing two concurrent projects for Spider-man: Raimi's film and a supposed 3D reboot that would be released a year later based on the script by James Vanderbilt.
Well, now we have our director in Webb whose previous credit include the spectacular (500) Days of Summer and many commercials and music videos. But is Spider-man too big for him? Maybe--but look at what commercial director Neill Blomkamp did with District 9. Now how do we go about talking Webb into casting Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the role of Peter Parker?
