Webb Master

As speculated, Sony has tapped (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb (pictured at right) to take on the Spider-Man franchise.

Now the question is: Who will play the new, younger Peter Parker? (The next chapter in the series will be a reboot set in high school, you see.)

Word on the blogosphere is Webb has his eye on Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense).
