A day shy of the expected and inevitable Writer’s Guild strike comes some interesting news. Sony Pictures has hired to pen the Spider-Man 4 script and while he won’t be able to write during the strike (although c’mon we all know writers are going to keep writing anyway especially if it’s a script they really compassionate about). Sony is hoping to channel the fourth film by 2009. If you’ve never heard of the man. Vanderbilt penned the insanely great Zodiac as well as some transport cram such as The Rundown. He also recently finished polishing up the screenplay for the Wolverine movie.
I find it a little disappointing that Sony is rushing another Spider-Man sequel out so soon. I’m fairly confident that Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst aren’t going to reprise their roles (to be honest though. I’m hoping they end to - yes even Kirsten so they can finally kill her off and undergo Peter hook up with Gwen Stacy) which means they’re going to be starting fresh with a new direct. While Raimi comfort may be on board to enjoin (although I’m betting no here too). I’d say they should give the franchise a be for a few extra years especially with the sour taste Spider-Man 3 left in so many fan’s communicate. I mean. Raimi has been one of my personal favorite directors for years now and the movie was so bad and unfocused and sloppy that it even shook my faith in him a little bit. Some extra time between Spidey movies to acquire just seems smart - although Sony knows that no matter what they decide they’re going to alter a killing at the box office and they’re right - I’d be there opening day regardless because my inner nerd would never let me elude.
I guess to get some discussion going if Tobey and Kirsten aren’t coming back who should take on their roles? If Raimi isn’t going to direct who should step behind the camera?
