"The Amazing Spiderman" (2012)

Here?s some humorous fan activism for your Sunday afternoon. Activism that fans of both NBC?s Community and the recently released (to DVD) comedy Mystery Team will enjoy. A campaign has begun on Twitter to get Donald Glover cast as the next Spider-Man. As we reported last week, the list of candidates to play Peter Parker in the upcoming franchise reboot has been narrowed to five names. None of them are Don Glover. This has forced fans to take it to the streets ? the streets of Twitter.

The goal (I suppose) is to get the Twitter hash-tag #donald4spiderman trending. This began when io9?s Marc Bernardin wrote an interesting and pointed piece about why The last thing Spider-Man should be is another white guy, followed by several commenters suggesting the Community star as the best choice for Peter Parker. It?s hard to argue with the logic of either Bernardin or the io9 commenters ? a unique and fresh take on Spider-Man would be interesting, and Glover is a very good young actor. Remember when I suggested making Spider-Man a period piece ? setting in the 1960s? Yes, something new and different, please. Sadly, it probably won?t happen. Sony Pictures seems intent on repeating the same Spider-Man formula, in 3D.

You can track the movement of Donald for Spider-Man at the Donald for Spider-Man Facebook Page. Or head over to Twitter and follow the search term #donald4spiderman. We?ll be following, encouraging and promoting the side campaign of Alison Brie as Mary Jane Watson, as well.

looks like Jamie Bell might be Spiderman!

In the last twenty-four hours, Bleeding Cool had received repeated reports that Sony have settled on their new Spider-Man. And he is Jamie Bell, English actor, star of Billy Elliot with another major comc-book lead under his belt, playing Tintin in the upcoming Spielberg/Jackson/Moffat/Cornish/Wright CGI adaptation of the popular comic.

Me wants Toby back. None of these candidates looks good enough to be Spiderman.

I thought Toby was absolutely horrible as Spider-Man, personally. I didn't feel like he fit the comic book mold at all -- he wasn't quick-witted, and he seemed to keep that geeky mentality even when he donned the suit, unlike the comic books, cartoons and everything else Spider-Man.

Jamie Bell not there yet it seems as a new name enters the frame!

According to The L.A Times Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek, Terminator Salvation) are on Sony?s list to play Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot, bringing the total number of potential Parkers to 7.

Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane, Andrew Garfield and Josh Hutcherson are all apparently in contention, and last week we heard that Jamie Bell may have landed the role, however it seems Sony still hasn?t chosen yet.

Hope he get's it! Brilliant actor! Loved him in Charlie Bartlett (Y)

Josh Hutcherson is on the short list for the role of Peter Parker in Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man reboot, the actor confirmed to Movieline today.

"[i}t?s kind of exciting..." the actor said in an interview, "...to see how much excitement there is already built up about it. I?m really excited for the restarting either way. People are like, 'Did you read the comics growing up?' No, not really, but the first movie came out when I was nine years old! I grew up watching those movies."

Other, still-rumored contenders for the part include Jamie Bell, Frank Dillane, Alden Ehrenreich, Andrew Garfield, Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin.

This is a pretty small update to the story about the casting of Sony?s upcoming Spider-Man, to be directed in 3D by Marc Webb. We?ve had one major leaked actor shortlist, which was later augmented with a couple more names. And despite rumors that Sony liked any given actor over the others, the casting process is ongoing.

A new report says that Sony has shot screen tests with most of the names on the list, and is still working with Webb to choose a lead so that the rest of the film can be cast around him.

Deadline lists the actors who have tested and are now actively being considered. Jamie Bell, Anton Yelchin, Aaron Johnson, Andrew Garfield, Alden Ehrenreich and Logan Lerman (whose name seemingly just can?t be cut out of the Spider-Man talk, no matter what happens) have all tested.

That accounts for all the shortlist names but two: Frank Dillane and Josh Hutcherson. Dillane reportedly didn?t test, because he plans to go to school at London?s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art this coming fall. So he?s probably out of the running. Hutcherson isn?t mentioned at all by Deadline, so we don?t know what his status is with Sony, but he?d always seemed like an outside chance due to other commitments. Just a week ago he said that he was still part of the mix for Spider-Man, but that the Journey to the Center of the Earth sequel would shoot in October, which likely conflicts directly with Spider-Man.

Also mentioned as being in the running, but possibly not having tested, is Michael Angarano, who is certainly in the same age bracket as the other actors, and is skilled. He also seems like an outside chance, but can?t be ruled out yet.

There's a very big rumor going around today that actor Josh Hutcherson has fully landed the role of Peter Parker in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. The news comes from Blue Sky Disney, which seems a bit odd, but they state: "word from my Bothans is that Sony has settled on Journey to the Center of the Earth's Josh Hutcherson as the newly, high school bound Peter Parker." Apparently the execs "decided that Hutcherson was the right fit for the role and an offer was made and has been accepted." Can we believe that or is still too early to tell? Blue Sky usually has solid Disney scoops, but I'm not sure if I'm totally sold on this.

To make things even more confusing about casting, ComingSoon actually spoke directly with Hutcherson recently and he totally played off this new like it was still far from ever becoming official. "I think a lot of people are auditioning and talking about it, so it's an honor to be considered on the same list with some of these actors that I'm up against." When asked if he's still a top contender, this was answer: "I really don't know what's going on with everything right now? It would be an honor to play that role, it's a big thing, it's a total game changer." Indeed it would be. We don't know how old that interview is compared to Blue Sky's report, but it would certainly be interesting to see Hutcherson, currently age 17, as the new Peter Parker.

Oh and you're wondering about the villain? Well, at the end of their story about Hutcherson, Blue Sky also dropped this little tidbit: "Now I wonder who'll be cast as the Lizard? Whoops, I mean, the villain?" If we are to believe that they're source is correct about Hutcherson, it sounds like they may have also heard that the villain will be Lizard in this, which may make sense considering Dr. Connors was one of his professors and this takes place mainly focused on him in high school.

And The New Spider-Man Is...

The next-gen web-slinger has been cast!

Enough speculation already. Andrew Garfield has been officially cast as the new Spider-Man in Sony's upcoming 3D reboot, due to hit screens on July 3, 2012.

The new film will begin production in early December, directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt. Laura Ziskin and Avi Arad will produce.

Garfield (The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus) is one of a few names that have been thrown around to take over the role. The list previously included Josh Hutcherson, Jamie Bell (Jumper), Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass), Alden Ehrenreich (Tetro) and Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson). But all of them can stop practicing their web slinging, as Garfield has beaten them all out.

Yesterday it was announced that 26-year-old British actor Andrew Garfield (Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Social Network) has been cast as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in Marc Webb?s 3D Spider-Man reboot (read and comment here). The selection of Garfield was revealed at a press event in Cancun, Mexico for international journalists attending a media tour promoting upcoming films from Sony Pictures Entertainment. We now have photos and video from the announcement

Hm... I'm really curious to see what happens with the next Spider-Man flick though. I hope it's good.

Though shooting for 3D concerns me a bit, as I don't like when they rely on something like that... But I guess I'll see how it turns out.

I'm fine with the choice, but really... his age and playing a high school character? He doesn't seem that young in anything he's done so far.

I have to agree. Logan Lerman I thought was a better choice.

    • I don’t get why if I bought the game on the last get I needed to pay $40 to upgrade to the new version in the first place and people who love the game and play a lot would have upgraded already so this is just PR and a chance to grab new players who forgot the game long time ago I think
    • The term "use" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline. "Use" can mean opening ChatGPT occasionally to ask for the definition of a word or information about a specific topic. If you frame the question around how many people use it as a daily driver in their work or personal lives, that number is a lot smaller. Those are the people who pay for AI. Nearly everyone else is happy to use it for free, but doesn't see enough value in it to pay for it.
    • No support for Windows Hello!
    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
