The widespread "Sony Hack" has proven to be more than devastating for the studio and its employees as secret after secret has been made available to the general public. While much has been revealed over the past week and much more is expected to be revealed in the coming winter, it has been news of their sole Marvel property, Spider-Man, that has brought some of the most noteworthy stories.
Just to recap, so far we've learned:
Are you ready for some more?
The Daily Beast has now revealed new details from the hack revealing that Sony planned on rebooting the reboot to Spider-Man! This fresh news comes from an 8-page document (dated Nov.13) sent from Jeff Robinov, head of Studio 8, to Amy Pascal, Sony Pictures co-chairman, outlining a plan to reboot the entire Spider-Man franchise. His email begins with immense praise for the beloved hero: "To argue that there’s plenty of other superhero movies with levity in the marketplace, so why make more Spider-Man movies, would be akin to saying there’s no room for James Bond films because of all the espionage films and franchises that have come out over the years. There will always be room for this beloved, iconic hero."
Robinov then goes on to discuss the main purpose behind his e-mail: the reboot of Spider-Man. He compares Spidey to James Bond and surprisingly makes a lot of sense: "In the next Spider-Man movies, we can’t go back to his origin story. Think of the 25 films in the James Bond franchise; just because a new creative team comes aboard, and breathes new life into a classic property, doesn’t mean the origin story has to be retold." Now, wouldn't that be a welcome sight? A Spider-Man film without the retelling of an origin story we've already seen twice in the past 12 years. Robinov follows this up with a long list of potential directors for the hypothetical reboot featuring a ton of familiar faces:
Just to recap, so far we've learned:
