This article contains spoilers for "Superman."

In James Gunn's "Superman," the charming and talented Skyler Gisondo plays Jimmy Olsen, the plucky reporter for the Daily Planet. He is depicted as something of a ladies man, the cute boy of the office, often drawing demure titters from his co-workers. Jimmy seems a little baffled by how attractive he is; he's no lothario. Jimmy is also secretly in contact with Eve (Sara Sampaio), Lex Luthor's girlfriend, which allows him access to vital information late in the film. 

Gisondo vibrated with "leading man" energy, and he once even (naturally) assumed that his audition for James Gunn was actually to play the role of Clark Kent. The only think keeping him from playing the Man of Steel, one might argue, are his boyish good looks. 

Gisondo is also no stranger to the world of superheroes or legacy characters. As a child, Gisondo...

Cinematographer-slash-influencer Hunter Moreno is getting a major merch rollout.

“Famous in Love” has been canceled at Freeform.

We want to thank our colleagues at Warner Horizon and our incredible producers, writers, cast and crew, especially Marlene King, for their creativity, hard work and dedication.”

Rather, she’s progressing gradually onto the other side, working her way into everything from the newest Madea movie to the long-delayed Amityville: The Awakening to even the latest Xavier Dolan joint.

The Amazing Spider-Man Plot Synopsis has been released. Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) plot synopsis is touted by Sony Pictures as featuring “ untold story of Peter Parker’s early years.” It would have to be since the public has already and recently (in movie terms) seen an Spider-Man origin story.

The official plot synopsis for The Amazing Spider-Man:

One of the world’s most popular characters is back on the big screen as a new chapter in the Spider-Man legacy is revealed in “The Amazing Spider-Man.” Focusing on an untold story that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story, the new film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, with Martin Sheen and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay written by James Vanderbilt, based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.

The Amazing Spider-Man Teaser Trailer Bootleg. Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) teaser trailer bootleg stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The Amazing Spider-Man‘s plot synopsis: The reboot of the Spider-Man film franchise, the film features the origin story of Spider-Man as he faces a new villain, The Lizard.

I was not in favor of the Spider-Man franchise being rebooted (written about here: Spiderman 4 is Dunzo, All Hail the 2012 Reboot) and after seeing this bootleg teaser trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, I still am not. I foresee the film wasting a good forty minutes on Spider-Man’s past and his new found abilities, material which we have already seen before. The same story retold again with new elements, the high school back-drop is even used again it seems. Its too bad Spider-Man couldn’t just have his powers and the film starts from there.
