The veteran screenwriter, Alvin Sargent, is doing a production polish as the studio runs with eight legs toward a planned shoot later this year.

THR includes that The new “Spider-Man” is rumored to be more emotionally anchored and realistic than the previous movies. Word is that Peter Parker will be a 17-year-old high school kid struggling with shifting hormones and an outsider status. And let’s not forget the death of his uncle.
