Spider-Man 4 Story Not Up to Sam Raimi
November 29, 2007 02:11:11Amidst the uncertainty whether he will again direct or simply serve as producer in "Spider-Man 4", Sam Raimi recently indicated in an interview held by ComicBookResources that the project's story is no longer his concern and it's completely up to the writer, in this case surely James Vanderbilt, to work it on now.
"We’re hiring a writer to come up with his own take," Raimi said to the site. "Sony was willing to go either way, we’ll just have to wait and see what the writer comes up with. I think anything’s possible, though."

Spider-Man 4 Finally Gets New Scribe on Board
October 31, 2007 12:10:02Seemingly ignoring the impending Writers Guild strike, which may start as early as tomorrow, November 1, 2007, Sony Pictures is delightfully reported to have found a new screenwriter for its "Spider-Man 4."
According to Entertainment Weekly, the appointed talent turns out to be James Vanderbilt, the creative mind behind the script of David Fincher's gritty thriller "Zodiac." The man, however, may possibly not be able to pen anything for now due to the expected strike, but hopes are high that he will start writing almost immediately by the time the strike ends, should it really happens.

The Superhero Hype! has pointed out that Sony Pictures is moving forward to the fourth installment as it learned from a very reliable source that "Spider-Man" scribe David Koepp is involved in talks to pen the script for the project.

alright cam you bring back Harry cause the chemicals he took that covers his scars
posted by mhockey on Jun 09, 2007i can not wait for carnage in spiderman 4 he is similar to venom but red and much stronger.
posted by 788maquire on Jun 21, 2008i think its gonna be messed up a little but its gonna be good
posted by Zmage82 on Jun 22, 2008
it would be probably a great movie, but Harry must be resurrected, he can survive anything because of the chemicals. The funeral of Harry could be just a front, but let Harry come back.
posted by memee on Jul 05, 2008Harry (James Franco) must be brought back. He played his part GREAT. He's also Peter's best friend. So the 2 have to be reunited in this film. Peter needs Harry (only James Franco to cast as Harry). PLEASE!!!!
posted by Memee2 on Jul 05, 2008for all of you saying to bring back Harry (impossible)....do u not remember how green goblin died....

Spider-man 3 was the worst movie I have ever seen. Sam Raimi should never be allowed to direct another movie. Not ever. Every sequel to this series will continue to suck more and more until it returns to Marvel and they get some good actors to restart the saga.
posted by SamRaimiSucks on Sep 18, 2008Its not Carnage everyone thinks that but it's not. It's Anti Venom. Look him up.
posted by X on Sep 27, 2008it is carnage! Carnage. Lizard, and Black Cat. Look on cinematical. Trust me everyone i know it the three of them.

posted by donovan parrish on Mar 14, 2009"like every single person commenting here is borderline retarded and this poster is ridiculously fake posted by anonymous on Oct 01, 2008" huzzah! finally someone agrees. were you all dropped on your heads? the only trailers floating around are fan made, and fake. Now, a year ago, Sam & Tobey both publicly said they weren't interested in Spidey 4. However, now we see a turnaround. Still I think it a bit early to speculate, let alone declare who the villains are. I bet Mr. Raimi himself isn't even sure. But, options ARE open in Carnage and Lizard. Let's leave it at that shall we?

posted by jjq on Jul 06, 2009You could bring back Doc Ock as the leader of the sinister 6. I think his "death" in the second movie could easily go either way. He could have drowned, or, since he was on top of the sun in the water, the arms could have pulled him out. Who knows? My money's on the sinister 6, though :)
