Sam Raimi is directing the pic for Columbia Pictures.
"Gwen is pivotal in Spider-Man lore as Peter's high school crush, his first girlfriend and his first love. She ended up being kidnapped by the Green Goblin and died during a bridgetop battle in 'Amazing Spider-Man' issue 121," Hollywood Reporter said in an amazing display of Spidey-
knowledge for a mainstream newspaper.
