Casting of The Man

Spider-Man that is. The Spider-Man reboot fiasco continues, as two people have been discussed to play Peter Parker. First up is Logan Lerman. This kid will play Percy Jackson in The Lightning Thief film and has had some early talks. He said he's "a fan of the series...I'd love to focus on the human elements of it". He might do well. At least better than the 2nd option.

That second option is Zac Efron. This is one that seems to have momentum as several outlets have reported it. It seems Tobey Maguire has given Zac his blessing and Zac really wnats to do it.

I guess this casting could be put in a book called "How To Kill Your Franchise"

God, it seems like every day I get more and more news about the Spider-Man reboot. However, the plot is going to be based upon The Ultimate Spider-Man comics, where Peter Pakrer's teen angst were the main part and the web-slinging was a bonus.

The budget is supposed to be around 80 million and cast unknowns, thoug hthe yaRE going fo ra big name for the villain (John Malkovich as The Vulture is still psossible). This still sounds iffy to me, but I guess unknown casting rules out Tyler Lautner.
