WEB-SPINNER: SPIDER-MAN 4 GETS THE GREEN LIGHT?

According to Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood Daily, a deal has been struck between Sony and director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man 4, and possibly Spider-Man 5, which, if that was the case, would shoot back to back. The script(s) is written by Zodiac scribe James Vanderbilt. It is also hoped that Kirsten Dunst will be returning as Mary Jane Watson.
   Adds Finke, "Sony is taking its time officially hiring the movie's villain since principal photography doesn't start on Spider-Man 4 until next fall because of the recently postponed May 2011 release. I am told, however, that 'once you find out who the villain is, you'll know who's playing it.' That should lead to speculation that Dylan Baker's character of Dr. Curt Connors will ultimately turn into the Lizard as he did in the comic books." For the full story, click HERE.
