Sony Pictures is working on an animated Spider-Man movie, which is expected to hit the silver screen in 2018.
Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures, made the announcement himself at this year's CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Nevada, a gathering of the film industry's biggest players. Rothman, who replaced the ousted Amy Pascal after she became the public face of the Hollywood studio's hacking scandal, said the new Spider-Man project will be headed by industry big-leaguers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the duo behind critically acclaimed blockbusters such as The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 22 Jump Street.
"It will be something quite unlike anything you have seen before," Rothman said. "The highly technical term for it is 'It's f---ing awesome.'"
