Director Sam Raimi told reporters yesterday that he’s waiting to see the script for Spider-Man 4 before making the commitment to helm the picture.
“Right now James Vanderbilt is writing the script, and he’s working on it, and I’m excited to read it,” Raimi said in a group interview in Century City, “I think it’s going to be done in a few months. 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.”
“It’s highly unusual for a director to want to see a script before taking the reins of a two-hundred million dollar effort,” added Sony studio chairwoman Amy Pascal.
“We’re willing to accommodate Mr. Raimi’s eccentricities and demands this time as the franchise has earned us what the accountants refer to as ‘an ass-load’ of money.”
