    "Zodiac" scribe to write "Spidey 4"

    LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The writer of the serial-killer thriller "Zodiac" has been hired to write the screenplay for "Spider-Man 4."

    James Vanderbilt takes over from David Koepp, who worked on the first two installments of Columbia Pictures' billion-dollar franchise, and returned to write a draft of "Spider-Man 4."

    No deals have been made to bring back series director Sam Raimi or stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.

    Plot points are being closely guarded by the studio, though the intent is to scale back the story to include only two villains instead of repeating the "Spider-Man 3" model. The third installment, which grossed $336.5 million domestically this year, saw Spidey battle a busy triumvirate of evildoers in the forms of Venom, Sandman and Goblin. It was widely reckoned as overly cumbersome with one too many plot lines.

    Several writers were being considered for the fourth installment, and Vanderbilt apparently was chosen for his character-driven approach to the story rather than a focus on special effects.

    this started with the batman movies. WHY does a sequel need 2 unrelated bad guys? it ALWAYS seems forced. it's NEVER a good storyline.

    The only positive is that Spidey had lots of villains to deal with.

    They do need to do a better job of it.

    Spidey 3 was a disaster. I was a huge fan of the first 2, especially the second. Now I'm just embarrassed by the entire franchise.

    The brass must have been to as they went to someone else to write the fourth installment.

    The article should have had more info on why the need for the new writer.

    Well, Spider-Man 3 wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen...it was just a bit too busy for my tastes, although that's pretty easy to recover from, by and large. In any regards, it is time for Tobey and Kirsten to be moving along, and probably Sam Raimi as well...

    I need a new Evil Dead movie, anyway...

    Word has it that Tobey and Kirsten will be back as long as Sam comes back, which I think he will.

    I would expect Dr. Connors to finally turn into the Lizard as part of the complications he was experimenting with to 'grow back a new arm'.

    Yeah, that reminds me. Hey, Lounge Machine, how are those experiments coming along in your attempts to grow back a new penis?

    Nil.

    The tissue sample you sent me turns out came from a tortoise.
