It’s still up in the air as to whether Marc Webb will return for The Amazing Spider-man 2. While he and Sony Pictures mull things over, Webb has become attached to another movie, with Thompson On Hollywood noting Webb’s involvement with The Only Living Boy in New York, written by Allan Loeb.
The movie is described as “a twisted coming-of-age tale, which centres around a recent college grad (to be played by Lerman, if hes still attached to the film) who discovers that his father is having an affair. The young man then attempts to stop the romance, only to start falling for his dads mistress himself.
Seth Gordon was previously attached to direct the movie, but now Webb appears to be in the driving seat. It isn’t known when this film might go into production, and there’s still a decent chance Webb will have to pass on it if he signs up for another Spider-man movie.
