I was just searching through YouTube for G4's reaction to the news about the reboot just to pass the time when I came across this. Apparently, this guy got a sneak peek at the script by James Vanderbilt for the reboot.
In case you guys didn't know, Mr. Vanderbilt was responsible for writing the recently scrapped script for 'Spider-Man 4' and was also engaged by Sony to write for the fifth and sixth installments afterwards. After Raimi left, he wrote the script for the new 'gritty and contemporary' Spider-Man film.
Keep in mind this was from January 15th of this year. The day at which it was confirmed that 'Spider-Man 4' was scrapped was on January 13th, two days earlier. And James had already written the script before Sam pulled out since Sony wanted to reboot the series after the fourth endeavor.
Please, just humor me and listen.
If this guy is telling the truth then I really, really, really like what I'm hearing. I am hoping that what ever changes Alvin Sargent or Marc makes on the screenplay doesn't defeat the quality. Alvin co-wrote the past three Spidey films so there is no reason I shouldn't have any faith in him, especially with Mr. Webb directing.
To remind you all, I don't know whether this guy is telling the truth or not. I hope this doesn't diminish my credibility here in this site.
So sound off below. Do you think this guy is legitimate or do you think he was just trying to shut the barking fans up at the time.
