Confirmed: Marc Webb Direction Spider-Man

A press release released today confirms rumors that Mark Webb will direct the next Spider-Man movie, replacing Sam Rami who directed the previous three.  The new movie will relaunch the entire franchise.  From what the studios are saying the plot will basically be a 'coming of age' story, but with super powers.  In other words, a live-action version of the current Spider-Man cartoon.

Personally, I don't see the point of re-booting the franchise.  Sure the third movie sucked, but they could easily just ignore it and keep on going.  I can see Webb's version now:  all angst and no action...staring the cast of High School Musical
