Sam Raimi Would Return For 'Spider-Man 4'

Posted by SexiVixxEN 568 days ago
Spider-Man 4 is picking up more steam by the week. Maybe it is just me, but it seems to have gone from a point of "not happening any time soon" to "any day now." I'm already feeling worn out thinking about it.

For now, at least, the man behind the camera is on board. Sam Raimi talked to ComingSoon.net about his possible return to the franchise. "James Vanderbilt is writing the script and I'm excited to read it. I think it's going to be done in a few months. I'm hoping it's as great as our discussions were about it and I'm hoping it feels right for me because I love Spider-Man. I'm hoping I'm well-rested enough to embrace it and I'm hoping Sony wants me to do it. If all of those things come together, I would love to do it. There are a lot of unknowns about the future."



I can't imagine Sony not handing him the job, despite the poor reception of the third installment. And as enthusiastic as Raimi already sounds here, I imagine he will be refreshed and ready to tackle the web-slinger by the time Vanderbilt is done writing. Perhaps the question is whether fans want him to return after the disappointment of Spider-Man 3. I am all for giving him another shot, though, as two out of three is pretty damn good.

Now, someone get Tobey Maguire on the phone. Even if his interest ( or lack thereof) is as theoretical as Raimi's, we might as well know. We have at least a few months to kill before the script hits, so let's find out if Peter Parker needs recasting.

    Sorry missjojo061 but spiderman and catwoman are from 2 different comics and therefore can't be put in a movie together. Nice idea but that would make one very very bad movie and considering this movie will be bad anyway there would be no point

    i think in the fourth movie that they give Mary Jane some powers how cool will it be if she became cat woman. Then it would be like spider-man and Cat woman are married. lol Just an idea.

    3 wasn't that bad. I really wished they had handled Venom differently, but the Green Goblin was great. He handled the second Green Goblin better in the movie than in the comic! Sandman was fine. Really it was just Venom that was weak, but nothing can be perfect... except Spider-Man 2!

    I'm sorry, Raimi shouldn't even be allowed to be associated with anything Spider-man related. For chrisake, let someone else direct.

    Spider-Man 3 pretty much tarnished the franchise...I think a remake...start of a new franchise with new writers, a new director and cast would be a better way to go. An 'Ultimate Spider-Man' film would be interesting.

  • i personnally thought the movies were okay, but not great. what 4 needs is a good director and everything else. they already have an awesome cast that works very well together.

  • numero 3 was a big dissappointment, i agree...and i was okay and so was two...I just think they need to make it more interesting, or maybe I'm just not a superhero type movie person

  • actually, i don't even think he did 2 out of 3 good; i found the first Spidey decidedly mediocre, and the third pretty terrible. but the second was fantastic, so i don't know.
    personally, i'd perfer to have a new filmmaker come in and give it a shot.
    cheers
