Paul McGuigan Directing New Spider-Man

That's right - it's a confirmed fact. Paul McGuigan, the director of Wicker Park, Lucky Number Slevin, Gangster No 1, The Acid House and another handful of similar turkeys, is the latest director to tackle Spider-Man. Personally, I think Wes Anderson would have been an amusing choice for this job...

What's more, you can see McGuigan's take on Spider-Man now. There's a video up on MySpace.

Let me explain: McGuigan has directed the video to Snow Patrol's Signal Fire, as featured on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack. The clip shows a school play with kids recreating scenes from the Spidey films. Rushmore fans will now understand my Anderson comment.
