With the run up to the release of "Iron Man 2," news about Sony's planned reboot of the "Spider-Man" franchise has been in short supply.
And while there have been indications that the new film may look to Brian Michael Bendis' "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic series as an inspiration, the new "Spider-Man" film will intentionally depart from the visual template established by director Sam Raimi in the first three films, according to Columbia Pictures president Matt Tolmach.
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Tolmach said that the "Spider-Man" relaunch would be "Peter Parker told differently." According to the article, Tolmach also promised that the new film would "look, feel and smell different from the three films starring Tobey Maguire;" before adding "we're humbled by it."
Tolmach also invoked Peter Parker's classic tagline when describing "a golden moment of technology" which allows filmmakers access to newly developed digital and 3D techniques.
"With great power comes great responsibility," recited Tolmach. "And we have to always fall back on great storytelling."
Earlier this year, "(500) Days of Summer" director Marc Webb was signed to helm the next "Spider-Man" film.
Thus far, no one has been cast in the new "Spider-Man," although Josh Hutcherson and "Percy Jackson" star Logan Lerman have both named as potential candidates to become the next Peter Parker.
"Spider-Man" will be released in May 2012.
