Inside The Jamie Bell Spider-Man Rumour

Okay, the Bleeding Cool servers have held up against a barrage of links from film and news sites after running this story yesterday. So let's try our luck again.

I'm told that Jamie Bell was scheduled to fly into California this week. The plan is that he will be undergoing a few weeks of camera tests while simultaneously working with a personal trainer to ensure he is able to perform some of the more spider-like stunts that will be required of him. However this is being considered a formality.

As for Josh Hutcherson, previously much favoured, I'm told that he may be caught in an option on a previous movie deal and, as a result, may not be available for any web swinging.

Frank Dillane is still being considered for the role, but he appears to be Sony's back up plan. Unless something goes very wrong, I understand that Bell will be playing the Spider-Man role. To the extent that  Jamie has been heard referred to as Spider Man in casual conversation around Sony.

And they wonder how these things leak…
