Spider-Man 4 Script Ready by Summer 2009

Source:  SCI FI Wire
Sam Raimi knows that many people are curious about the status of Spider-Man 4, and he has decided to give us an update on where things are going with the production. Unfortunately, as he told SCI FI Wire, right now the only news is that he expects to see the scrip this summer.

"Right now, David Lindsay-Abaire is working on a draft of the new picture," Raimi said. "And he's hard at work, and hopefully we'll see something in about three months."

Raimi explained that, as is often the case with big-budget films like Spider-Man 4, the film is working towards it's already announced release date. "We have to make the release date, and on all of these pictures, the Spider-Man films, and I'm sure it's the same as with many of the other bigger budgeted films, they have release dates far in advance of a screenplay," he said. "So it's about getting it ready the best you can in time for the first day of production. That's what we've always done and that's what we'll try to do again."

While Tobey Maguire is reportedly signed on to return as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Raimi is reluctant to discuss other casting. He plans to reassemble the core cast, but he says that he doesn't want to make many plans until he has a script in hand. "At this point I do, but it's really ... all going to be dependent upon the script, and I'll just have to wait and see," Raimi said. "I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but hopefully we can service the story in the screenplay and whatever it demands, hopefully we'll be its eager servants."

Unfortunately, this reluctance to discuss casting also extends to a reluctance to discuss what villain (or villains) might appear in Spider-Man 4. "I'm not at liberty to discuss the villains yet," Raimi said. "I think I have to wait 'til the finished screenplay, and then it'd really be up to Sony Pictures and the producers to determine when they want to release that information. To them, it's usually a big, a big, big thing, a big moment where they want to present the villain with the proper respect or fear that he or she deserves."

Thanks Fallen.
I was trying to create a moral sense of judgement on Spiderman when he finds out that Connors is Lizard. And usually Lizard & Kraven were in the same show or comics majority of the time because Kraven at one-point wanted to kill Lizard because Spidey couldn't, i forgot the issue though.
But i just used that as a basis for my idea, giving it a more developed backstory in the current scenario of the Spidey film franchise

I like your idea J.A. But honestly I think that Kraven should stay out.

Wow Corky! Way to state it again. You have no idea what your talking about. I doubt you know what pride means either. Nothing to say about the word ain't? Because you've made yourself look like a complete idiot on here. If so, I can't wait to see your next dumbass comment you put on here JA.

JA your the one who brought up the whole gay shit in the first place. I said your boyfriend wasn't giving you enough attention dumbass. To bad I have a girlfriend. Nice try though. I sound like a broken. Speak for yourself. You've repeated yourself comment after comment. You can't even respond back to half the shit I've said to you cause your too much of an idiot. Your the one who is constantly on here waiting for comments. You need to get a life. Go back to writing your gay porn scripts with your lover Dr. Bitch.

Ain't: Although widely disapproved as nonstandard and more common in the habitual speech of the less educated. And your educated JA? Yeah right. You should have said expand your vocabulary, not improvise. Learn how to use words in a sentence, but I forgot. Your a fucking idiot! Try to write proper grammer next time Corky.

i find it obscuringly strange, how you like talking about boyfriends, Nathan, very odd.
Ain't actually is a word, check a dictionary or improvise your vocabulary

Read your previous comment god i don't even think the majority of it makes sense.
Your starting to sound like a broken record.

Btw i didn't insult you in my previous comment, i didn't in this one neither, lol, you funny because your so sad.

Carry on we need a great laugh on Movieweb...

Do you have certain hours your on...ya know when you need the occasional* laugh

lol @ Slysnide's random comment

The conversation is done, i can't be bothered, he suffer from Mythomosis (Compulsive Lying).
Just let him live in his fantasy world, with Charlie and the chocolate factory, where he sits at his computer and gets paid lol.

Our flaming convo is done and dusted Slysnide i've walked away.
There is a great difference and underlining from men and boys. It's called being the bigger man :).
Plus i've got better things to do, lol but it was fun while it lasted.

i meant that Nathan Lease is your screen name and your real name, leanr to understand something dickwad.
You stated Nathan Lease isn't your real name, i'm saying your lying like a bitch, Nathan Lease is your screen name and your real name, so just admit that, for one simple factor unless you suffer from mythomosis.

Now have fun being a loner once again, sitting at your little desktop that you believe to be your workspace and continue bashing your bishop, because that's all you know how to do.
I doubt you get paid for sitting on your arse all day at home, if so that's a sad job and no wonder your isolated from society, because no one wants you, you struggle to communicate with people, because you have no social life. If you can't talk decently to people on the net, how can you talk respectively to people in real-life?
Your a sad lonely little man at his computer, you probably never had a woman in your life, lmao.
Your parents are even disappointed at you because your such a low life.

Hope you have a nice day loner, now unfortunately i'd like to see your comeback, but i'd thought your'd like to get back to being a lonely illiterate unsociable prick, so to sum it all up.
This conversation is done.

You can't get paid for commenting on this website Nathan. What do you mean by that?

And this bitch fight is too reminiscent of JR & LeoNiDas' crap from last summer. Might as well give it up. You'll just realize one day that you've been wasting your good time.

April 8th, 2009 9:33am
Good comeback bitch boy. Where do you get your material from? Learn how to type dumbass. Digging shit? I wouldn't know about that faggot. Keep writing your gay porn screen plays, because that's all your good for. That's probably why you know so much about gay shit, and you have nothing against gays. It's ok, we all have to make a living. Good luck with that fag boy. Well then what the hell is my screen name, because that's obviously what it says jackass. Can you fucking read? You have to be about the dumbest fucking person on the planet.
  (Delete)
April 8th, 2009 9:11am
No sometimes you just have to correct the prick, that being you. I don't need a dictionary, lol don't make me laugh.
I doubt that Nathan Lease is your screen name, just admit you got the name of a faggot, or hey maybe it's the name of your lover, since you like talking about digging shit.

Let's just face the fact, Nathan. Your an Indy Bumraider, you enjoy taking it up the rusty bullethole.
It ok if your gay, i've got nothing against gays, just bulldoze you shit somewhere else and not here.

April 8th, 2009 7:18am
You are a fucking idiot JA. Can you come up with anything better to say then repeating the same shit I've already said. To bad that's just my account name you dumb fuck. You probably went and looked at a dictionary to find the defenition for loner. No there not. Why do you think it's called english asshole. Sure your a screen writer, you can't even spell correctly. I know you have to go. You have to go over to your boyfriends house and get your shit pushed in.

April 8th, 2009 2:10am
OHHHHHH by the way...

Names are meant to have capital letters at the front, so your screen name should be Nathan Lease, remember your spelling and grammer...Thank you.

And yes i know i spelled English with a small e in my previous comment.

Now go on your webcam and play jack-off with the other lads

April 8th, 2009 2:05am
Like i stated before UK & US, spelling and grammar are slightly different, if you don't know that then i underminded your intelligence.

It's the internet, don't get so hurt about it.
Exceed to the fact you got the partial definition of loner correct, but you forgot to mention, a loner has no friends just like you.

You telling me how to spell using proper english and grammar rather than abbreviations like OMG, you melodramtic prick.

Peace out, i got work, that doesn't involve staying at home, like a sore-out crying baby fat ass loser, like some guy on MovieWeb called Nathan lease

April 7th, 2009 9:01pm
Yeah right, your a fucking screen writer, and sure your social networking. Socializing with your boyfriends. Out of all the people from the UK that I know, not a one of them has a problem with speaking, spelling, or writing grammer. I guess your an exception. You still can't write or spell proper grammer. You have to be the stupidest motherfucker ever. These are your words: maybe your get along with people. Try using you'll dumb fuck! To bad I don't respect you one bit ass monkey. To bad I work for the government, but good try on saying I work at home. Do you even know what a loner is? A loner is someone who doesn't want attention or anyone around them. OMG! You are a fucking idiot! Maybe if you read the first sentence in my last comment you would understand, but I forgot that your just a fucking moron. Why don't you do us a favor, (see I spelled it right just for you) and go drink some cyanide. Trust me, you won't be missed you fucking loser
  (Delete)
April 7th, 2009 1:58pm
LOL actually no i'm working doing stuff i am a screenwriter after all, also doing some social networking.

Also i live in the UK, our spelling and grammar is different to yours, kiddo.

Why don't you learn to chat to people in a normal respectable manner instead of being such as arse-wipe, maybe your get along with people.
Instead of flaming them, because you have no life.

People that can't communicate with others or socialise between others are usually Losers, that being you. And those Losers are usually loners, alla like you that's why you work at home, because you struggle to communicate with others.

Do us a favour and wipe you account, Movie web would be a much better place, because no one likes you here.

April 7th, 2009 1:09pm
I could care less what people think of me on here bitch boy. I like how you keep repeating everything I say. Try doing a spell and grammer check before you write your comments on here you ignorant fuck. Like I said before, I get paid while I do this. Your probably at home looking at porn and playing with yourself. I have a life, and your just pathetic fucking loser.
  (Delete)
April 7th, 2009 12:17pm
LMAO, Nathan your funny do you think people here are laughing with you or at you?

I ain't got friends says the guy that waits for people to reply back to his comments by refreshing his page, LMAO.
Realise your a joke.

Your probably speaking for yourself, you probably get picked on and then try and take your anger out on people here. Your rather pathetic.

Remember its the internet, Why So Serious?

April 7th, 2009 11:25am
Raimi already predicted the film's downfall when he said "We have to make the release date..." Too many of these sequels movies only push for a release date rather than a good story anymore. Simply cuz they're so worried about making the release date. Hence why it was fucking stupid to even announce one if the script hasn't even been written yet, and may not necessarily even be approved byt the studio which has a hand in killing good ideas for mediocre ones (since they place their faith in formerly jaw dropping CGI), which causes more set-backs, thus making the scrounging for the release date all the more annoying/important to them, and the quality of the final product less than the filmmakers expected, thus killing the movie and its potential for good box office revenue.

You wasteman. That's a good one douche bag.

It's pretty obvious who the attention whore is. Which is your dumb ass. You obviously have no friends and probably get picked on all the time. This isn't the first time you've put your nose in other peoples business on other comment pages you fucking loser. Maybe if you read the comments from before you would know what I do asshole. How bout you go shoot yourself, because your life is worthless. You think you can write movie scripts. LOL! Yeah right. Your comebacks are pathetic. "Because you ain't got a life." You can't even write proper grammer you hillbilly faggot.

Where you actually waiting for replies from people, because look at the time gap between our comments 3 minutes...
