The Amazing Spider-Man movie doesn’t open until July 3, but Sony is already hard at work developing a sequel.

The studio has tapped Star Trek and Transformers writing team Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to work the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

Spider-Man, which reboots the franchise under the direction of Marc Webb and actor Andrew Garfield, has a screenplay written by Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves and James Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt already penned a draft of the sequel but is now working on White House Down, the action movie that is a high priority for the studio.

Bringing in the duo highlights the premium importance the studio is putting on the sequel. The hiring of the high-profile writers is not cheap, and it shows that Sony does not want to lose any momentum on the project.

The studio has set a May 2, 2014, release date and wants to be in production in the first quarter of 2013.

“Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man,” said Matt Tolmach, who is producing with Avi Arad.

Added Arad, “They have an innate understanding of what makes Peter Parker not just a superhero, but a hero for all of us.”

The duo, who are repped by CAA, said they grew up as Spider-Man fans and excitedly compared getting this gig to being handed the Holy Grail.

Should Paul Rudd ever need a place to stay in New York, one imagines there would be numerous volunteers to offer him lodging. In the meantime, Mr. Rudd will be crashing the role originally played by Jack Lemmon in a reading of the script for the 1960 Billy Wilder comedy “The Apartment,” alongside Emma Stone, who’ll be substituting for that film’s original co-star, Shirley MacLaine.

The filmmaker Jason Reitman, who is organizing this Live Read event to be held on Friday at the TimesCenter in Manhattan, said on Wednesday that Mr. Rudd, a star of comedies like “Role Models,” “Knocked Up” and “I Love You, Man,” will play C. C. Baxter, the “Apartment” protagonist who lends his home to co-workers for their after-hours trysts. Ms. Stone, whose films include “The Help,” will play Fran Kubelik, an elevator operator with whom Baxter falls in love, helping him find a new outlook on life.

Mr. Reitman previously announced on his Twitter feed that James Woods will play the role of Baxter’s boss, Sheldrake (portrayed in the original film by Fred MacMurray); Tom Cavanagh (“Ed”) will succeed Ray Walston as Dobisch; and Cara Buono (“Mad Men”) will take over from Edie Adams as Sheldrake’s secretary, Miss Olsen. David Wain, who directed Mr. Rudd in his films “Role Models,” “Wanderlust,” “The Ten” and “Wet Hot American Summer,” will play Baxter’s neighbor Dr. Dreyfuss, portrayed in the film by Jack Kruschen. The cast also includes Jason Sudeikis (“Saturday Night Live”) and Lena Dunham (“Girls”).

The Academy Award-winning screenplay for “The Apartment” was written by Mr. Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond; the film also won Oscars for best film and best director (Mr. Wilder) and earned nominations for the performances of Mr. Lemmon, Ms. MacLaine and Mr. Kruschen.

A previous Live Read of “The Apartment,” which Mr. Reitman organized at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, featured Steve Carell (Mr. Rudd’s co-star in “The 40-Year-Old Virgin”) as C. C. Baxter and Natalie Portman as Fran Kubelik.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, the pair behind last year’s Crazy, Stupid, Love, have set up a new project at Warner Bros. titled Focus. Deadline has word that not only will the duo re-team with producer Denise DiNovi, but they’re interested in again casting Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in leading roles.

The plot of Focus is said to involve a romance between a professional conman and someone just learning the criminal art and how their past relationship comes back into play when they meet up again years later.

Both Gosling and Stone can be seen in the upcoming historical crime drama from Warner Bros. and director Ruben Fleischer, The Gangster Squad.
