I've heard alot of talk about a new Peter Parker and that got me wondering if they were doing what they did with hulk and just starting new....

Sony had the production & distribution rights & decided that actors in their '30's could not play college age people. They fired Sam Raimi, the director, and are recasting with young unknowns & a different script, so the answer is yes.

Are you talking about the movies? if so, more than likely

Basically the idea is to take the story back to Peter at school / college. So not exactly a new origin story, but certainly a re-vamp with a new director (Marc Webb) and new star (TBC) Click on the link below, scroll down the page a bit and you can see all the news stories around this (Webb as director, 3D, Malcovich as Vulture etc). empireonline.com/ futurefilms/ film.asp?id= 135132

Yeah,sort of like when they did ultimate spider-man back in 2001! in fact,from what i've read,the new spider-man series will be based on ultimate spider-man in the fact that peter will be a teenager and all that!
