Cinematical just
received a tasty little scoop from one of our trusty top secret super
delegate Hollywood insiders, and it's purty interesting (all you Spidey
fans might want to listen up): Apparently, in the last few weeks,
James Vanderbilt (
Zodiac) has turned in a working draft of
Spider-Man 4to the studio. However, according to our source, "his story arc has encompassed two films, making
Spider-Man 5
shootable at the same time. The studio saw dollar signs and is in the
process of reworking his deal to snatch up the story arc." Don't expect
anything immediately, though, since we've been told both sides are
still trying to negotiate the deal.
Right now we have no word
on what that arc is or where Vanderbilt is taking his script, but it's
interesting to know that they're looking to spread the next Spidey
storyline across two films, instead of shooting one more and taking it
from there. Obviously Sony has wiped away the bad buzz from
Spidey 3
and is interested in stretching this franchise as far as they can.
After three flicks, I can't see Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten
Dunst returning to shoot two
Spider-Man films together (would
be a lot to take on), but you never know. In the meantime, here's what
we know: Looks like Vanderbilt is writing
Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5,
and the studio might look to shoot both flicks at the same time. As of
right now, the studio has no comment. We'll update this post should we
hear more ...
Whaddya think?
