Has Josh Hutcherson been cast in Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man, to be directed in 3D by Marc Webb? This headline may seem familiar, as it is the same headline we ran in early April when the rumor was first reported by IESB. In late May, a short list of actors in line for the role leaked online, which included Hutcherson alongside Jamie Bell; Andrew Garfield; Alden Ehrenreich; and Frank Dillane. In June, a few more actors were added to the list of possibilities, including Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin, from Terminator: Salvation and the upcoming Fright Night remake. And last week it was reported that Sony has shot screen tests with most of the names on the list, and is still working with Webb to choose a lead so that the rest of the film can be cast around him — a decision is to be made shortly.

The story of boy meets girl has been told hundreds of times in the world of film. It only makes sense that innovative director Spike Jonze could take such a cliché story and give it a facelift.

Jonze’s new short film, I’m Here, is about the loving relationship of two robots. This 30-minute short, set in contemporary Los Angeles, is a quirky and bizarre love story.

Jonze tells the usual love story, but he replaces the human boy and girl with robots. It seems like a small change, but Jonze works wonders with it. He creates an eccentric facsimile of our world where robots and humans coexist, with hints of prejudice toward robots.

The film centers on the robot Sheldon (Andrew Garfield, Air). He is a shy and introverted robot that is stuck in a quiet, mundane life. Sheldon is stuck in a cycle of working at the library and having a boring life at home, until he meets an adventurous and spontaneous female robot.

Garfield is excellent as Sheldon. His portrayal of Sheldon is one of the most entertaining things about the film. Sienna Guillory (Inkheart) plays the free-spirited robot that Sheldon falls for while waiting at the bus stop. Her carefree attitude entices Sheldon and brings him out of his shell.
