But two weeks ago, Devin at CHUD reported that the movie was essentially dead after Scott Frank walked away from it. Now there’s a contrary report which says that, while Frank has indeed left the project, it remains very much alive.
CHUD was first to report details about the film, and then the fact that Frank had moved on. But Claude Brodesser-Akner at Vulture, who was on the money with a couple of big, early Spider-Man stories, says that Peter Chernin is now producing the film at Fox. He’s tapped Jamie Moss to rewrite Frank’s script from a structural standpoint, with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver brought in to polish dialogue.
