Columbia Pictures feature film reboot 'Spider-Man' auditions in full swing

Principal actor casting has been completed.

The main players for the upcoming production of "Spider-Man" are coming together for Columbia Pictures, however countless supporting and day player roles have yet to be cast, not to mention the hordes of extras, stand-ins, and photo doubles. Auditions are taking place out of Los Angeles, where filming will take place.

The Emmy Award nominated and seven time Casting Society of America Artios Award winning casting director Francine Maisler was been brought in to cast the Spider-Man reboot. The highly talented Mark Webb will direct the film. Webb was mostly known as a music video and short-film director until his feature length debut, (500) Days of Summer.

Originally there was plans for "Spiderman 4" with Sam Raimi attached to direct and Toby Maguire, Kirsten Dunst and other cast members set to reprise their roles. Sony Pictures announced in January 2010 that plans for Spider-Man 4 had been cancelled due to Raimi's withdrawal from the project. Raimi reportedly ended his participation due to doubt that he could meet the planned May 6, 2011 release date while upholding the film creatively. Simultaneous with the cancellation of Spider-Man 4, Sony announced that the franchise would be rebooted with a new director and new cast.

The film has had the working titles of "Untitled Spider-Man Reboot," and "Spiderman 2.0," but is currently being referred to as simply "Spider-Man". This of course is subject to change.

Shooting will take place in Los Angeles beginning December 6, 2010. The release date is scheduled for July 3, 2012.
