recent NEWS and some RUMORS


-Eisner Award Winning Writer Brian Michael Bendis clarified thru twitter his involvement with the Spider-man reboot.
+[I] see quite a few web sites completely making stuff up that i never said or hinted at. i did not say i was now the writer of the movie. the movie has a writer and a damn good one. and as was just announced i am writing my own movie for universal based on my GN fire (on sale now ) all i said was i had an interesting morning over there in spidey land. and i did!! speculation is all fun and good, rumor? sure, but there's a difference between that and completely making stuff up. on a slow nerd news day, i could almost understand it, but you had all this weird dc news to make stuff up about.

-Logan Lerman on the Spider-man rumors
his statement: "It's just, you know, conversations are starting. It's a long process with the studio and the producers and everything. But it's definitely a project that I'm really interested in, of course. I'd love to focus on the human element a little bit more. It'd be such a fun experience."
Backpedalled:"I mean, the truth is that was kind of exaggerated," Lerman said via phone. "I'm just interested in it. Honestly, all I can say about that is it's a role that any young actor out there is dying to play. I'm just hoping to be considered for it."
"I really can't talk about it," he continued. "Honestly, I'd rather just not talk about it. It's something that gets so twisted around."
