In an article at The Hollywood Reporter talking about video game and comic book adaptations, 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.
Directed by Marc Webb from a James Vanderbilt script, the film is scheduled to hit 3D and 2D theaters on July 3, 2012.
