Worst casting since Hayden Christensen for the Star Wars Prequels.
I did read that they want the same flavor as twilight for this film, and spider-man in high school. A teen drama. Lame.
I could see them cast this guy as Gilligan, if they made a Gilligan's Island movie, but Spider-man. And in a low budget 3D movie with a no name director, fail all around this movie.
