Spidey 4 Has Found A Writer


Stop the presses - the announcement some of you have been waiting for is here. Spider-Man 4 is now officially in motion. James Vanderbilt, screenwriter of the 2007 sleeper Zodiac, has signed on to write for the film that doesn't have a director or stars attached to it yet. Here's what he said:

"I went in on that. I really loved the films," Vanderbilt said. "It's sort of an odd process because you're sitting down with the people who made the first three and going, 'Well, let me tell you what to do.'

"But I was lucky enough that they were interested in me and I'm a huge fan of those movies, so we closed that up right before the strike. Once the strike's over I get to go to work," he added.

Expect casting and director news after the strike ends.

YEAH! We were just talking about this. Hopefully, it follows a "Brand New Day" timeline, where MJ and Parker are no more, and Spidey can focus on Ron Howard's daughter. Oh, and let's bring in some Carnage! Man, how easy this is to write a script.
