- Paul Feig has shot down rumors that he’s planning a Freaks and Geeks reboot. “I don’t think I could afford the cast,” he said at Saturday’s TV Land Awards. “They’re all too big now.” Feig did have a few kind words to say about the series, though. “We spent all of our time concentrating on the human emotions,” he said. “It wasn’t about references to the ’70s and the ’80s, it was really about the human condition at that time of your life. I think those emotions are the same two thousand years ago as they are two thousand years from now. I think that’s why it hasn’t gotten dated.” To read more about the TV Land Awards, click here.
- Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed that the next Spider-Man will be a 15- or 16-year-old Peter Parker. “Some of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he’s in high school for a lot of it,” he said in an interview with Collider. “We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the [Marvel Cinematic Universe], which is something else we want to explore: how unique he is when now put against all these other characters.” For more on the new Spider-Man film, click here.
