Emma Stone Would Be Interested In A Spider-Gwen Movie

I like this idea, it would be fun if they did some sort of spiderverse movie which would bring back Maguire, Garfield, and Stone as Spider-Gwen. Not saying that would be a good movie, but it's a fun idea

Ted Melfi, Jonathan Levine Atop ‘Spider-Man’ Director Short List

http://deadline.com/2015/06/spider-man-director-ted-melfi-jonathan-levine-marvel-sony-pictures-1201436220/

Full quote of the article above goes below:

EXCLUSIVE: As Sony Pictures preps The Dark Tower (talks are starting with Nikolaj Arcel to direct) and the Paul Feig-directed Ghostbusters as new franchises, and prepares to compete to re-up for the right to keep making James Bond movies when its deal expires after the upcoming Spectre (as our sister publication Variety uncovered), the studio is also getting close to untangling the web of intrigue over the next iteration of Spider-Man. It’s down to the wire, both on the choice of the actor who’ll play Peter Parker — Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland are the frontrunners though Matt Lintz and Charlie Rowe also made strong impressions — and also on the filmmaker who’ll steer a multi-picture arc that takes the protagonist through high school.

After a long vetting process, Sony Pictures and Marvel are zeroed in on the favorites, St Vincent helmer Ted Melfi and Warm Bodies’ Jonathan Levine. Still in contention are John Francis Daley & Jonathan M. Goldstein, the director-writers of the updated version of John Hughes’ Vacation.

There is a new contender who was a surprise to me. He is Jon Watts, a top commercials guy who made his feature debut with Cop Car, a Kevin Bacon-starrer that debuted at Sundance. This is all moving very quickly as the studio has narrowed the search from an initial field of a dozen directors, and the final decision comes down to producers Amy Pascal and Marvel’s Kevin Feige, with Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman squarely in the mix. Not clear is whether the filmmaker who gets the job will write the script. Marvel and Sony are meeting with writers, but several of these finalists can write a script, too. Stay tuned.

Bold parts are the most important, for those with a short attention span.

Devin Faraci's insight on Deadline's exclusive article on the directors frontrunners, published earlier today:

The most thrilling part of being a film fan must be reading about casting wish lists. That's why we're all in it, right? To see a list of actors who have been deigned marketable by the studio bean counters, ready to plug into the latest franchise. This is why the Melies Brothers got up in the morning.

The second most thrilling, though, must be the shrinking director shortlist. It's such a gas to watch as the studio goes through a list of directors and then, through the magic of leaking to Deadline, publicly lets some of them know they aren't getting the job by leaving them off the next shortlist.

Which brings us to this: the latest Spider-Man director shortlist! We had one a couple of weeks ago (I don't have the energy to find the link, take my word for it) and now that's been brought down to two names from that old list... and a whole new name! The old guys are Ted Melfi, who directed last year's Saint Vincent, and Jonathan Levine, who has done The Wackness and Warm Bodies. Levine, a kid from New York City, is the perfect choice for the film, so I'm not holding my breath that he gets it.

The new name is Jon Watts, whose Cop Car - about kids who steal a cop car - made a splash at Sundance this year. I missed it, so I have no opinion on this one.

What's interesting about this director winnowing - and the continuing testing of actors for the role of Spider-Man - is the possible insight it gives us into the world of the Sony and Marvel team-up. Obviously they want to get this right - a new reboot so soon after the last reboot? You can't **** that up - and I wonder how much of this slow process is agonizing over the right choice versus the two companies butting heads. Like in the casting world, I keep hearing that Asa Butterfield is pretty much telling people he is Spider-Man, but they just brought a whole bunch of kids down to Atlanta (where Captain America: Civil War is shooting) to test them. Does Asa think the role is his because someone at Sony or someone at Marvel told him that he's their guy? Are they still testing because someone at the other studio disagrees?

We'll find out soon enough. I had heard that they wouldn't need Spidey on the Civil War set until some time in June... and we are now some time in June. Could Marvel and Sony be hoping to announce both director and star at the same time? That makes some sense!

Collider's senior editor Adam Chitwood giving his take on Deadline's 'Frontrunners to direct Spider-Man' article:

With a casting decision for the new Spider-Man imminent, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios continue to hone in on who will direct the first standalone Spider-Man reboot. Drew Goddard’s name was the first to pop up, but he was conspicuously left out of a shortlist that surfaced early last month. That report named Jonathan Levine (Warm Bodies), Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect), John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein (Vacation), Ted Melfi (St. Vincent), and Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) as some of the contenders that were vying for the gig, and now it appears that Sony and Marvel have narrowed that list down to a couple of finalists.

Per Deadline, Melfi and Levine are currently the two filmmakers that Sony and Marvel are favoring, though the report notes that Daley & Goldstein are still in the mix—the trailer for their Vacation reboot was met with a positive response when it hit a few weeks ago.

The report notes that in addition to favorites Melfi and Levine, a new contender has surfaced in the form of Jon Watts, the director of the Sundance thriller Cop Car which stars Kevin Bacon as a terrifying police officer. A final decision is expected to come down quickly as the picture is already dated for July 28, 2017, but it remains unclear if the director hired will also write the script for the new Spider-Man or if Marvel and Sony will tap an outside writer to do so. Melfi, Levine, Watts, and Goldstein & Daley are all writer-directors, so penning the screenplay in addition to directing wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for them.

While Sony Pictures will be the studio releasing this standalone Spider-Man pic, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige is producing the film in a joint effort between the two studios. The final decision for the director comes down to Feige and Sony producer Amy Pascal, with Sony head Tom Rothman also in the mix.

I’ll admit I had my heart set on Goddard for the job, and someone threw Greg Mottola into the mix recently which got me excited. Out of this crop, though, Levine feels like the most exciting choice, as he’s shown a wonderful ability to tell intimate stories with equal parts heart and humor in films like Warm Bodies and 50/50.

The new Spider-Man will first appear in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War before this new film, which will take place in high school, starts a brand new franchise for the character. As things begin to wind down, expect some big and official news on the Spidey front any day now.

BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS ALLEGES SPIDER-MAN IN "CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR"

While speaking at his spotlight panel during Special Edition: NYC, longtime Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis let slip that Spider-Man will be appearing in "Captain America: Civil War," adding an "allegedly" after the fact.

While discussing bringing Spider-Man into the "New Avengers" launch back in 2005, Bendis said there was much debate during a Marvel retreat amongst the writers, with many adamant that Spider-Man was not an Avenger.

"The same thing happened when they heard Spider-Man is going to be in ['Captain America: Civil War'] the movie," Bendis said, then looked over to panel host Ryan Penagos, who shook his head in ignorance, not confirming anything or adding any info.

"Allegedly," Bendis added. "Or he's going to be in 'Batman v Superman.'"

Spider-Man has been widely suspected to appear in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War" -- in what would be the character's Marvel Cinematic Universe debut -- though it has not yet been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios. Along with his comic book work for Marvel, Bendis is a member of the Marvel Studios creative committee.

Spider-Man's ability to appear in a Marvel Studios film came after a joint agreement between Marvel and Sony Pictures. A new solo Spider-Man film is currently in the works as well that ties the two universes together and sees a much younger Spider-Man that still attends high school.

Currently word has actor Asa Butterfield at the top of the list to portray Peter Parker in the upcoming film.

"Captain America: Civil War" is currently slated for a May 6, 2016 with the solo Spider-Man film following on July 28. 2017.

These Are The Spider-Man Finalists

It's down to two actors.

Today The Wrap's Jeff Sneider reported that the Spider-Man casting shortlist is down to Tom Holland, Matthew Lintz and Charlie Plummer. The site claims that the delay in casting comes down to Sony and Marvel butting heads over which kid is right.

My Sony sources were surprised by that bit of info. According to folks close to the situation there are no heads butting but rather everybody is exhibiting a lot of caution. This is major casting that they can't screw up, and they want the third time they cast Peter Parker to be the charm. It's been an agonizing process for this reason.

What's more, my sources tell me that the shortlist is actually two actors: Tom Holland and Charlie Rowe, whom The Wrap didn't name. Rowe is also an English actor, and he was in The Golden Compass as a child as well as Never Let Me Go. He certainly has the right look, and I understand he has the chops.

We will probably hear the final results soon, but it looks like a) Asa Butterfield is out and b) we'll have another English Peter Parker on our hands.
