Zac Efron to be the next Spiderman

[tomm2thumbs]

I would actually put a question mark by the title, but the article is claiming salary details and that Tobey handpicked him to follow up.

'Zac Efron is set for a £9million pay day as he takes on the role of SpiderMan. Zac Efron will replace Tobey Maguire in the fourth blockbuster movie, due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to hit cinemas in 2012. Tobey, 34, stunned bosses at Universal Pictures last year when he announced he was quitting the megabucks franchise. But a studio insider revealed: “After dumping Spidey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role.” Producers believe the 22-year-old, who has a huge teen following, will bring new fans to the Spider-Man series by playing the reluctant hero and his alter ego Peter Parker.'

Old Man Maguire had to go. Wrinkles frighten adolescents and their money is mighty.

8. I call bullshit. Spiderman is Columbia Pictures, not Universal.

If they're going to lie, then at least get the studio right.:eyes:

9. And by every account I've read Tobey didn't quit the role

It was the studio that wanted a reboot.

10. Lie or not he couldn't be any worse than Toby McGuire.

Talk about a self obsessed crap film.

Is it really so important to keep making Spiderman movies?
