    Sony Talks Spider-Man Reboot

    In a recent article in The Hollywood Reporter about Video a Games being adapted for movies, Columbia Pictures president Matt Tolmach briefly addressed the upcoming Spider-Man reboot:

    He also cautioned that moviemakers are in "a golden moment of technology," with 3D and various other digital techniques at their disposal. "With great power comes great responsibility, and we have to always fall back on great storytelling," he said.

    Tolmach also said he's excited but nervous about his company's upcoming Spider-man reboot, which he described as "Peter Parker told differently." He promised it will look, feel and smell different from the three films starring Tobey Maguire.

    "We're humbled by it," he said.


    It was only slightly cheesy when he actually quoted Spider-Man, while being asked about the reboot, right? I hope this means they plan to actually shoot the 3D sequences if not all of the movie in actual 3D, not just converting to garbage like Warner Bros did with their recent mess Clash Of  The Titans.

    From his comments of "its Peter Parker told differently", I get the impression that we're getting more of a teen drama and less of a Spider-Man film filled with action. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a little bit of story thrown in between the action as well, but why make Spider-Man especially in 3D, if all your doing is looking at Parker in a new light?

    Hopefully something good comes out of this, I want to like the reboot, but everything I'm hearing about it sounds so far sounds terrible.
