Logan Lerman Out Of Spider-Man Web

Movie bosses are still searching for an actor to replace Tobey Maguire as the new Spider-Man after dismissing widespread rumours newcomer Logan Lerman is in the running for the part.

The young star of upcoming film Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief sparked speculation he's in talks to play the superhero in a movie prequel after admitting, "There have been a few discussions, it's definitely something I'm looking into."

But a spokesperson for Hollywood studio Sony Pictures insists they haven't approached the teen, confirming, "No offers have been made, nor have any business discussions been made with Lerman."

Plans for a prequel were put into motion last month (Jan10) when Maguire and director Sam Raimi quit the project, and Sony bosses decided to explore the superhero's past for the next installment of the franchise.

Diesel And Walker Return For Fast Five

Vin Diesel And Paul Walker are set to get fast and furious again.

The two hunks have signed a new deal with Universal Pictures executives for a fifth installment of The Fast and The Furious.

Walker and Diesel's return to the franchise for 2009's Fast & Furious was a huge hit, bringing in over $350 million (£218.8 million) at the global box office, according to Daily Variety.

Director Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz are also signed up for the new film, which will be called Fast Five.

The movie will reportedly start shooting later this year (10) and will hit cinemas in 2011.
