Merrick here...
We already know Andrew Garfield is the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
But many other dudes were gunning for that role...in a big way. One of these guys was Josh Hutcherson (who we'll be seeing soon in the RED DAWN remake, and have already seen in JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH). He put together a video selling himself for the part - essentially a 'proof of concept' for plugging him into the role, if I understand the intent correctly.
Latino Review has obtained and posted said video. In the end, due to a variety of factors, this production didn't save the day for Josh. But it's a mighty noble effort, an interesting insight into what could've been, and a fascinating example of the lengths people will go through to get what they want.

You know how that happened?
By the cool audition piece you can now see in all it's glory below for yourselves!

Pretty cool huh?
Hutcherson's audition got the attention of the execs at Sony and I think a meeting or two with Webb.
I heard that up and coming fight choreographer Larnell Stovall from UNDISPUTED 3 chroeographed the gem below.
Now here's what we're talking about...
