Back in May, Cinematical was the first to report that Sony Pictures might shoot Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 at the same time using James Vanderbilt's script that the site said spans two films.
Now, Deadline Hollywood Daily has added on that director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire have apparently signed on the dotted line for Spider-Man 4, which the studio is targeting for a May 2011 release.
DHD adds that there's no deal for Kirsten Dunst to return as Mary Jane Watson yet, but the character will be featured and the studio would not recast her.
As for the baddie in the fourth picture, the site says that principal photography doesn't start until the fall of 2009 and that once we find out who the villain we'll know who is playing it. Naturally, speculation would put Dylan Baker's character Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard at the head of the line, but who knows?
According to the site, "the studio is trying to figure out if it can feasibly shoot Spider-Man 4 and 5 at the same time because doing that is so cost effective and 'it wasn't so easy to get everybody back together.'"
DHD also says that Sony has hired two screenwriters to pen the new script for the Spidey spin-off Venom.
ditto. I can't believe they ditched Nick Brendan for McGuire after they made the guy buff up n' shit. At least dude got a check outta it anyway. He woulda brought a very crucial aspect of the weblinger Toby has been lacking so far: Humour while fighting the baddies.
Oh yeah Tody SUUUUUUCKS with a joke, was always lacking there. I really was hoping they'd scrap the whole sereis and pull a Batman/Hulk revamp. So they continue this crap line and they revamp Superman...oi vey!
