'Spider-Man' with school bag: First still of reboot out

The first look of the fourth instalment of friendly neighbourhood superhero movie "Spider-Man", which has Andrew Garfield in the title role, is out for the aficionados.

Showing a visibly leaner, boyish and tired Garfield as the teenage superhero returning after a "Go! Go! Spidey" stint, one cannot fail to miss the school bag dangling from the web-master's right shoulder.

The reboot's intention is to have Peter Parker back to developing his abilities in high school.

"We can't reveal the full title of the movie yet but we can reveal that the film is in production and will release in July 2012 in 3D," said a statement from its distributors Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Directed by Marc Webb, the fourth instalment in the "Spider-Man" franchise also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans and Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan.

As we recently learned, in the fourth movie Spider-Man Tobey Maguire will replace the young and little-known actor Andrew Garfield.

The role of the famous franchise will be a good start for Garfield, but the money she did not bring. Rather, bring, but the scale of Hollywood's quite a bit. One of the American tabloid published the amount of the fee actor - for the role of Spider-Man, he gets all nothing more than 500 thousand dollars that you will agree, very little in format film from 80-million budget.

People say it is money and become the reason that Sony has become to look for the replacement of Tobey Maguire. The fact that the first picture of the actor will receive 4 million for the second - 17 million, over a third - 15 million but, according to rumors, a quarter of the greedy Toby asked for as much as 20 million in all, this arrangement of bosses film company did not accept, and they quickly found the "cheap" spider. Hopefully saving mode does not affect the quality, because, as popular wisdom says, stingy always pays twice.
