Spider-Family to be crushed in upcoming films.

Unsure if this was posted or not since one of the bits was announced in January apparently, but the other part is recent news:
For those that didn't know, the May 2011 release of Spider-Man 4 has been cancelled outright, due to Sam Raimi departing from the franchise. Tobey Maguire also has tendered his resignation as the web-slinger, as he had made it clear he would only be on board for the films if Raimi was set to direct.
Around the same time that Spider-Man 4's was killed, Sony Pictures announced that there would instead be an uncoming reboot of the franchise, due to release in summer of 2012, and it would be in 3-D. It would focus on Peter Parker developing his powers in high school. Determined to pick up any role that has to do with high school, Zac Efron has made it clear he wants star. It is unclear at this point if the film will feature choreographed dance numbers, set to positive, upbeat music.
In another movie annoucement, Vanessa Hudgens is in talks to star in the upcoming Spider-Woman film. Not much is known about the film yet, including which one of the many incarnations of Spider-Woman she'll possibly portray. An industry insider has stated that it will be a "fun, comedic movie" and that "Spider-Woman is strong and sexy but in this case hilarious Vanessa is apparently very interested in the role." It was also hinted that a possible viral marketing campaign for the movie calls for naked pics of the starlet to be leaked over the internet as a means to drum up buzz for the flick.*
* Alright that last part was made up, but I have seen this girl naked before and will see this movie if she stars. Don't judge me. :P

My mind, it cannot even begin to process this.
2) Zac Efron is awesome
3) Vanessa Hudgens is not
4) Logan Lerman is currently the lead speculation to play Spider-Man
...*alkjsdhflkad* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Sorry I can't even finish that sentence. The only way I could see this working is if it was a completely original script that focused on borderline slapstick humor and didn't attempt to take itself seriously at any point. Or if she takes her clothes off. I don't think anyone would mind an original Spider-Woman.
Zac Efron actually impressed me in 17 Again. I think he can do funny, but they'd have to really tone down his artificial cool to pull off Peter Parker. I'm not sure he can be a convincing geek.
Spider-Man seriously needs a huge, huge break while they figure out what all these other truly amazing comic movies are doing and why they'll be memorable long after people have forgotten the Spider-Man trilogy.
Anyway, I wouldn't pick Efron because he seems pretty wooden. He didn't stand out in Hairspray, and supposedly his first serious film, the one about Orson Welles, was terrible. He does have charisma, though, and that's pretty essential. Spider-Man, more than anyone else, needs to be likable as hell, since otherwise you wouldn't put up with his shit.

Still, Vanessa Hudgens? That just doesn't work for me at all.

You know, it really is a shame that Topher Grace never got to be Spider-Man. He would have been tops. They could have even got Laura Prepon to play MJ too, she was pretty good in that 70's show and could play MJ perfectly.

However, when he came home the first night after having been transformed back into a teenager and realizes what's going on did kind of strike me as a "holy shit this is awesome" moment that I could see Peter Parker having when he comes into his Spider-Powers for the first time.
He's gold.
I think what you can take from the 17 again movie is the kind of weird tone of the entire thing, cutting between various high school shenanigans and moments of seriousness.
Of course, Efron is 22 years old, so, it could be tough for him to play a high school student.
On another note, I really hope the new movie doesn't follow the "Spidey must lose mask!" philosophy of the past 3 movies. That part in the subway train was the most grating part of Spider-man 2. I know why they had to do it, I just don't like it. No sir.

spoilered for on track discussion:
Oh, to be a teenager again.
There was one major thing that upset me while watching 17 Again, because he refused to partake in what generally most red-blooded males would do if they got a chance to relive their teenage years while retaining all the knowledge and experience of their adulthood - bang the shit out of naive hot teenage girls.
As for Spider-Man, I agree with the whole Unmasking issue and felt it was really overdone in the movies. But this might be a price we pay for seeing a full-faced mask wearing hero go Hollywood. Everyone wants to get their face out there.
Also, no dance numbers. Unless it's this one:

Though I thought the pizza delivery sequence in the 2nd one was kind of funny.

You'd probably love to see the ending of her adaptation of Marie Antoinette then TLB!
Well according to me this is very sad that they are no launching the spider man 4 because of any contract or something. If the movie is completed then they should launch it because the popularity never ask the contract and at the end of the day if the movie will get super hit then that is the pure benefit of the movie company.
