Spider Man 4


It's being reported that Spiderman 4 is on the fast track and that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are both interested in returning.

I think this is a bad idea. Not making Spiderman 4, but having Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire involved. Don't get me wrong, Sam Raimi is a fantastic director. Tobey Maguire is a good actor but I'm kinda over him.

This franchise needs fresh blood.

Spiderman 3 was such an awful train wreck of a movie that I fear there is no way for a good movie to come from the same people.

Recently rumors popped up that both Patrick Fugit (Almost Famous) and Michael Angarano (Sky High, Will and Grace) were up for Peter Parker. Both of them would be great for the role.

A complete franchise reboot would save Spiderman from another lousy incarnation.

The script is being written by James Vanderbilt who wrote the brilliant film Zodiac, so so far we are in good hands.

I hope.

I really liked Spiderman and Spiderman 2, but like I said Spiderman 3 was trash and completely ruined the franchise for me. Pretty much the same way X-Men 3 ruined that franchise.

I shouldn't get started on that it will only lead me to my dark place.

By the way, JK Simmons has already been contacted to return as J. Jonah Jameson. Lets hope he is the only one returning. God forbid Kirsten Dunst returns.
