It's not just that Raimi was talking about vampires. He's said before that he's a BIG fan of Morbius and Morbius has strong links to The Lizard.

Only with a proper blood drinking Morbius. None of this "Plaaaaaasmaaa!" bull****...
I just dont want SP4 to fall into the current vampire fad.
I don't think you'd get blood sucking past PG-13
Sure you can, you just have to be smart about it. I mean, obvioiusly i'm not talking about hardcore throat tearing Blade-style stuff. Maybe if when he bites his victims there's no blood per se but it's pretty clear what he's doing.
Morbius needs to drink blood in this because otherwise one of the major villains of this (let's not forget) make or break installment of the franchise will be a "Badass vampire" too scared to drink blood, fer chrissakes!
All jokes aside, if thats what happens then we really will have a Twilight style situation on our hands.
I dont mind vampires in the next SP flick (Its Raimi! He can do this sorta thing in his sleep!) but they have to be a threat!
No Wussiness please!
Yeah. Buffy and Angel got away with it without getting a MA rating. If done in similar fashion, I don't see Spidey 4 getting the big R, y'know.
if sam does indeed bring morbius to the big screen then bring something new to the table. morbius is not a 'true' vampire but a victim of an experiment gone wrong. show some stuff that has never been seen in a vampire movie before. I think the reson sam may be drawn to morbius is sam loves his sympathetic villians, well he has them in lizard and moribus.
Sure, you're right and i'd be shocked if they didnt go down that same sympathetic angle with Morbius but you're forgetting that yes, although Raimi loves to redeem his villains, BEFORE the redemtion he clearly relishes making them very, very BAD indeed.
Morbius needs to be bad. Before he's redeemed, He needs to be what we thought we were getting with Venom last time around.
And yeah, He's a science vampire... But so what? The same rules apply.
On screen that's going to mean very little in regards to changing the fact that essentially we're watching Spidey VS. The living undead.
Especially to the general public...
That'd be great. My only worry is that it might be a little bit samey to what it looks like Nolan has in store for Batman 3 and arent they coming out the same year?
Well, if Sam handled Morbius as a supervilain who happens to be a vampire, then I could be okay with it. But if it's "Spidey in the realm of vampires" with stuff like Morbius trying to claim MJ as his bride or something, then they should leave that in the same spot as "Young Ock in love".
