THE Hollywood blockbuster Spiderman is continuing to cast its web over local authorities in the region.
Scarborough, in North Yorkshire, has become the latest council to reclassify the hit movie for a local cinema.
The Hollywood Plaza has asked the borough council to change the certificate from a 12 to a PG so that younger children can watch.
And after a special showing of the film, the council's development and regulation committee has given the move the go-ahead. But under-eights will still not be admitted to performances, unless accompanied by an adult.
A council spokesman said: "Much of the violence in the film was comic-book in nature and did not relate to everyday life."
This week, the Robins Cinema, in Durham City, became the first cinema in the North-East to have the film reclassified for younger viewers.
