Raimi Coming Back For Spiderman 4 (and 5?).
Posted on June 6, 2008

With all the rumours that the new movie will feature a brand new Peter Parker, looks like there may be no need for this after all.
Comingsoon.net is reporting that Sam Raimi may come back and direct Spiderman 4 (and 5?) after all. Sam never ruled out directorial duties for the next installment and is “open and quite eager to direct a fourth”.
It may be the case that he wants to prove that the first two were no flukes (the third movie was only ‘Amazing’ and not ‘Spectacular’ like the first two) but I think thats hooey. Sam Raimi loves Spiderman and I just think that he wants to do another, not for the hell of it, but because he loves the character so.
The script is being written by James Vanderbilt and should be ready in the next few months and Sam has been quoted as saying “I can’t wait to read it”.
The good news also is that Sam has no intentions to re-cast which should be applauded. People fell in love the movie due to the actors making it believable. Re-casting would only put people off. It’s like watching your favourite tv show and, when one of the characters is re-cast, the show loses some of it’s magic. Know what I mean? I can’t think of anyone else playing J Jonah Jameson. J K Simmons made that role. Fantastic piece of casting.
Let’s hope that it all comes off.
Wake up DC and take a leaf out of Marvel’s (ahem) comic and start getting some movies together!
