"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! They are taking my childhood memories, raping them, shitting on them, eating them, regurgitating on them, and raping them even more!"
Now that I have a clear, unbiased (kind of) mind, I will list the Pros and Cons:
CONS
The first two Spider Man movies were amazing. It was the third one that screwed it up.
We have already seen an origin story. Apparantly, a bunch of producers think that most people in the world don't know how Spider Man came to be, even though it's even mentioned in TWILIGHT.
They're taking steps backwards. How? By putting Peter Parker back in HIGH SCHOOL.
Tobey Mcguire was a great Spiderman. I guess he's too old though...
No Sam Raimi.
The unstability of this project - it could be so good, or take turn for utter misery.
PROS
They're sending him back to high school. Yes, it could be a pro too. They could start this franchise from scratch... which means...
SPIDER MAN HAS A CHANCE OF BEING IN THE AVENGERS (more of a chance, anyways)
No Sam Raimi. That could also be a pro. We could see a more realistic, more dark humourous (instead of emo), more real emotional Spider Man. Even though Sam Raimi's was amazing...
New cast. They could start off with a perfect cast; the last cast wasn't too...right. (Even though it was mostly in my book!). Which brings me to who I think would be awesome and why.
Director:
Many people said (500) Days of Summer director Marc Webb would be an amazing choice, for his perfect portrayal of realistic emotion. If that's a good movie, I definitely agree. Other choices that other people have pointed out (or that I pick) that I wouldn't be too sad about: James Cameron, The Wachowskis, Spike Jonze... And perhaps Sam Mendes (director of new James Bond movie!). David Fincher as well (Fight Club, Panic Room...) Any more suggestions? Then COMMENT.
Peter Parker/Spider Man
This was probably the most obvious choice:
Anton Yelchin
I think he could pull this off so well! He's played the adorable geeky type in Star Trek, and he's played the tough kind in Terminator Salvation. He's a great actor, he's looks young enough, and he's just so adorably hot (not valid reason, but still).
Other good choices (IMO) :
Aaron Johnson: Dude of Nowhere Boy, a British "early days" biopic of John Lennon, and Kick Ass, in which he plays a humourous geek who decides to become a superhero. You can tell where I'm going with this, right? (Perfect age btw, well almost, perfect... (born 1990))
Josh Hutcherson: Out of these three, I've seen most of this guy's movies. Zathura (directed by fellow Jon Favereau), Firehouse Dog (I actually like that movie), Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D. He's also in Bridge to Terabithia, which I have yet to see. Well I mention him more of as a "I-wouldn't-mind-if-he-was-picked" pick. He the youngest, the closest to the age. He can play dorky, and tough. So yeah. I don't mind him.
Mary Jane Watson:
Evan Rachel Wood
She seems more like the comic book Mary Jane: Sexy Redhead Party Girl. Evan Rachel Wood is a chick who: Has been rumoured to be giving Megan Fox a run for her money, she can act (according to people who have seen in the two episodes of True Blood, The Wrestler, and perhaps even Across the Universe), and she's a good age (22). Oh, and she has a taste for weird men (her real life fiance is Marilyn Manson), which Spidey would qualify.
Elena Satine
She's a redhead actress who was slated to be Mary Jane in the Broadway musical. She's been to many acting schools and she can sing pretty damn well.
Harry Osbourne:
Jackson Rathbone
Okay so he was born in 1984, and he is in Twilight. However, he plays the deepest character in Twilight: Jasper. Jackson Rathbone (as Tahlia Angel pointed out) is "beautiful in a strange way." You know, instead of an American muscle car, he's a Mazda Taiki Concept Car (RAWR). He can play a deeply complicated, somewhat psychopathic character (have you seen S. Darko? Of course not, it's terrible, but he's CRAZY in that movie). And, if he didn't fall victim to weird ass hair, he'd be a stud. Hell, he still IS a stud...;)
Gwen Stacey:
Mia Wasikowska
My first choice. She's had some experience with big movies, such as Defiance, and ahem, Alice in Wonderland. She seems like a sweet girl, and she's blonde, and she's about the right age.
Hayden Panetierre
She's also blonde and a sweetheart. And she has had experience with comic-booky stuff. Although she seems more like a Mary Jane, and I don't want her to be Mary Jane.
And perhaps Lilo from Lilo and Stitch - she could just dye her hair blonde:
Daveigh Chase
And for the villain: TOTALLY Morbeus. He's a REAL (okay, in some, he's vampire-like) vampire.
So yeah. What do you think? Post your comments below.
UPDATE:
Marc Webb is the new director of the Spider-Man Reboot Trilogy. COMMENTS!!!

Man, I learn something new every time I come here!
I had NO CLUE they were rebooting Spider Man...my heart cries out in horror at the news!
On the other hand, there is something to be said for reboots...take "Superman Returns" for instance. Awesome movie!
As far as your choices of actors, I don't even know any of these folks, except for Lilo. That makes me teh suxxor, I know.
Oh, btw, I think Superman Returns was more of a sequel to the second one, totally disregarding third and fourth.
And have you watched Star Trek?
Then you know who Anton Yelchin is.
