This bit of news I hope excites you all as it did me. According to The Hollywood Reporter and THR we now have 5 finalists for the new Web Slinger. In no particular order here they are. (drum roll)
1) Jamie Bell ( Billy Elliot, Jumper, Tintin)
2) Frank Dillane ( Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
3) Andrew Garfield ( The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Lions for Lambs)
4) Josh Hutcherson ( Bridge to Terabithia, Journey to the Center of the Earth)
5) Alden Ehrenreich ( Tetro, Somewhere)
adds, “No Screen tests have been conducted at this early stage, and insiders point out that the director (Marc Webb) and studio are still on the lookout.”
I personally think Jamie Bell could pull off a good Spiderman, he was quite entertaining to watch in Jumper even though I was not a fan of the movie itself. What do you think? Who would you like to play the role of the next Peter Parker?
The 3D Spider-Man reboot will be shot later this year for a July 3, 2012 release. The script is by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent.
