Reports are that Alvin Sargent has been brought on board to fine tune the script for the next Spider-Man film. He’ll work on the script by writer Jamie Vanderbilt (Zodiac); both had been working on the abortive Spider-Man 4 before Sony decided to reboot the series.
Sargent is a veteran screenwriter, having written the scripts for Ordinary People and Paper Moon and he touched up the first three Spider-Man stories. It is rumored that the next Spider-Man will focus on a 17-year-old Peter Parker still in high school, with more attention paid to realism and emotions than the previous movies.
