Sequels Recent Article on Raimi for SM4 movie

I just found this a few minutes ago.

Don’t count director Sam Raimi out just yet. The Spider-Man series director is waiting to read James Vanderbilt’s (Zodiac) latest draft, which he says is due in a few months, before he decides if he will helm the project or not.

“I’m excited to read it,” Raimi told SciFi. “I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right for me, because I love Spider-Man, and I’m hoping I’m well-enough rested to, like, really embrace it and hoping that Sony wants me at that time to direct it. So if all those things come together, I would love, love to do it. But this is a lot of unknowns about the future.”
​

Raimi also reiterated that he would “hate to recast anybody” new in the key roles, and “can’t imagine that” actually happening. I have the feeling that Raimi was a little less excited to do a fourth film six months ago. It’s funny how time changes everything. I just hope that Sony gave Raimi room to develop a story with Vanderbilt that he is comfortable with. It seemed clear that Raimi wasn’t interested in including Venom in the third film, but was forced to by the studio. The overcrowding of characters was one of the main reasons the film failed with audiences. Oh yeah, and the Jazz bar sequence, which Raimi has no excuse for.

I remember reading that. It seems like they are keeping him in the loop. Hopfully he's happy with the screenplay and comes aboard. I'd love him to.

He'd better do a good job on this one...cus if he ruins it again...

You're going to...what?

 

[Spider-Fan]

I hope he does come back. And I must say, he ruined NOTHING with SM3. Say what you will about SM3, but let's not throw Raimi down the river for a movie some were disappointed with when he made 2 of the best comic movies EVER in SM1 and SM2 (though I was quite happy with SM3 myself).

Fanboys are so fickle

the guy wasn't being literal with his remark

if Raimi fails on spider-man 4 and/or 5, that will probably spell death for the spider-man franchise

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, I remember reading this. As I have said, I'm so glad Sam would love to direct Spidey4.

 

[Killing Joke926]

You're going to...what?

Oh, I can think of plenty of consequences for him after SM3; why is even doin' it again? He had his chance and blew it.

 

[artemzz]

It wasn't his fault he got pressured into adding a villian he had no interest in adding to start with.

 

[Visionary]

Yeah, Raimi should have stuck with his campaign that..."VENOM IS FOR SQUARES"...because the character still is.

Well, maybe not under an R-rating, the character would have more room to be badass.

Oh, and I'm still thinking that Raimi should only serve as a producer for SM4, let someone else direct, to give us another and maybe better directing style. Spider-Man derives on variety. Not to mention, we need a more mature and adult-oriented Spider-Man 4.
