Spidey reboot gets an official title


Sony just announced that the first film in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot will be called The Amazing Spider-Man. This follows a trend started by Christopher Nolan of using existing comic book titles for films. The Amazing Spider-Man. Superman: The Man of Steel. Batman: The Dark Knight. I hope this trend continues, because it's a little nod to the hardcore fans, but it's also better than Batman Forever or any other name some studio execs will be able to come up with over the course of a few months.

Sony also released the first official production still for the film as a companion to today's title announcement. Looks good to me, and a lot of people are really excited for the return of the mechanical web-shooters.
