Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire Officially Returning for Spider-Man 4?!
FirstShowing.net —
... The moment I walked out after seeing Spider-Man 3 last year, I knew it was over. There was no way that they could continue this franchise after such a lackluster conclusion. But I guessed wrong - and as we all know, Sony is hard at work on Spider-Man 4. In a surprising announcement today, Nikki Finke on Deadline Hollywood reports that both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire will be returning to Spider-Man 4. The deal apparently came together recently, because Finke says that a few weeks ago "Sony Pictures ...

... here. Yes, I was severely disappointed with SPIDER-MAN 3 just like 98% of you guys were. It's one of those movies that just seemed to be off-key, missing every note by a few seconds. But you gotta give Sam Raimi credit for what he did with the first two. Of the three films, I like SPIDER-MAN, but I love SPIDER-MAN 2. According to Nikki Finke at DeadlineHollywood , Sony has locked in both Raimi and Tobey Maguire for SPIDER-MAN 4. There are a few reasons this could happen like this. Remember both were walking away from the flick. They either had dumptrucks of money backed up to ...

... In Spider-Man 3 it was the black costume. Peter Parker's struggle is about sacrifice." In my opinion it's only a matter of time until all of those "Lizard is the next bad guy" rumors come true, but still there is plenty of speculation on who the new villain will be. And finally Sony is moving full steam ahead on the Venom spin-off flick, but still no word on whether or not Topher Grace is going to slip into his old Venom skin to star in the film.

Not only that, but Finke also claims the exclusive on a story we broke right here at Cinematical months ago (thanks for the credit Nikki) -- that Sony plans to shoot both films back to back, not just because it's cheaper, but also because we were informed that James Vanderbilt's (Zodiac) script included a story arc ...

Production is apparently set to begin next fall for a 2011 release for Spider-Man 4 . DH's source wouldn't reveal the fourth film's villain but did say "once you find out who the villain is, you'll know who's playing it."

Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi onboard for Spiderman 4
Hot Momma Celebrity Gossip Blog —
... Ace reporter Nikki Finke says that both star Tobey Maguire and director Sam Raimi will be returning to make Spider-Man 4. Sony actually had a difficult time locking in both veterans of Spider-Man 1 through 3. Apparently just a few weeks ago sources told Nikki that Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal was openly discussing Tobey’s potential replacements with various Hollywood agents because Tobey was hanging tough about a deal. Too bad I say because I think they made a mediocre choice in casting Maguire as Spiderman. There’s no deal yet for ...
Raimi and Maguire To Return For Spider-Man 4 (and 5)

... whose in his early-20s by then?
And what’s with the sudden “sacred cow” of keeping Kirsten Dunst around when damn-near nobody wants her (or her character) to come back?
I’m pretty iffy about this news, folks. Personally, I’d take it with a grain of salt until we hear something official from Sony.
Spider-Man 4 is currently aiming for a May 2011 release.

I’ve questioned in the past how the heck you take a character like Venom and make him the star of his own movie. As MacFarlane says, to work in a movie setting, by the end of the film there has to be some level of goodness in Venom, and that detracts from who he is.
How do you think Venom could work as the star of his own film?

For instance she says Mary Jane will be back in the movie, and that Sony has locked up both Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi to return. Happily, it also looks like Spider-Man will be the one franchise not to fall prey to Dark Knight copycatting, and will resist the temptation to go dark. In fact, black Spider-Man is gone entirely.

They already have a script from Zodiac scribe Jamie Vanderbilt, and a principal photography start date of fall 2009.

It's not like it would be hard to find someone else to fill out her dress. As for the villain, big sis had this to say... ...

Perhaps she's referring to Nikki Finke's "expect another gal part" remark from earlier this month. Felicia Hardy anyone? Despite the disappointment of SPIDER-MAN 3, I think the fourth film is in good hands with screenwriter Jamie Vanderbilt. Here's hoping he gets the franchise back on track.
