The GoonIt's been a while since our last update on "The Goon" movie front, but that's because creator Eric Powell has been busy planning his horror-noir hero's return to comics — both the print and digital kind.

Two "Goon" tales his the iPhone comics world today: The celebrated graphic novel "Chinatown and the Mystery of Mr. Wicker" and the special one-shot story "The Goon" #7, featuring Hellboy. Later this year, Powell will return to the universe he created with a new, three-issue miniseries based on one of his most tragic characters, the mysterious Buzzard, and eventually follow that up with a return to regular creative duties on "The Goon" comic book series.

MTV News caught up with Powell to chat about The Goon's debut on the iPhone, and what else he has planned for the Goon when the regular series returns. Read More...

Spider-ManIt's starting to look like we've been way ahead of the news when it came to both the "Spider-Man" director and source material for Sony's upcoming reboot of the blockbuster movie franchise.

Webb is indeed looking to Brian Bendis' and Mark Bagley's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics as inspiration for the new film franchise, according to an anonymous "scoop" on The Hollywood Reporter — but if you've been reading Splash Page lately, you not only knew that already, you heard it from Webb himself two days ago!

On Sunday night (less than 48 hours before he was announced as the new "Spider-Man" director), Webb deftly evaded many of our questions regarding the "Spider-Man" franchise — but did name-drop the "Ultimate Spider-Man" series as the source of some of his favorite Spidey stories. Read More...

Marc WebbUpdating an earlier report here on Splash Page, "500 Days of Summer" director Marc Webb has now been confirmed as the director of "Spider-Man."

Representatives of Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios made a joint announcement today regarding the decision. There was no mention of the rumored three-movie deal earlier reports had the director pegged with, though the announcement does indicate that the next "Spider-Man" movie will go into production later this year.

In a joint statement by Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, the studio described the factors that went into the decision: "At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker's life." Read More...

According to a production release from Summit Entertainment, principal photography is currently underway in Toronto, with director of photography Florian Boneventura at the helm.
