Logan Lerman „Almost 100% Locked“ As New Spider-Man!
Lerman recently turned in solid work as the titular demigod in Chris Columbus‘ PERCY JACKSON & THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF, but this is easily his highest-profile role to date. He evidently beat out the likes of Anton Yelchin, Jesse Eisenberg, twenty-seven-year-old Patrick Fugit and Johnny Simmons (who would’ve been my choice out of this group).
SPIDER-MAN BEGIN AGAIN is expected to go before cameras later this year in order to hit its July 3, 2012 release date. Will audiences be cool with a full-scale reinvention of a film series they seemed to be enjoying up until three years ago? Seeing as how 99% of entertainment is disposable nowadays, I’ve no doubt they’ll be happy to consign Sam Raimi’s movies to the scrap-heap of movies they sorta-enjoyed texting through.
The lovely and talented Jamie Vanderbilt (ZODIAC) is the only credited screenwriter at the moment. We’ll see how long that lasts.
