It seems that director Sam Raimi might be heading home for his new film. According to
The Oakland Press, Raimi will return to Oakland County in Michigan, where he grew up, to film certain scenes of
Spider-Man 4.
Raimi is slated to begin production on
Spider-Man 4 in 2010, in fact and, he said, envisions shooting some of that movie in Michigan.
"I'll be looking at Michigan for our second-unit photography on the new
Spider-Man film," he confirmed.
The extensive infrastructure needed to crank out megabudget productions like the three "Spider-Man" movies he already has made has, for the most part, kept him in Hollywood, Raimi pointed out.
Producers are always looking at the bottom line, and if they can get the same looking stuff somewhere else cheaper, they're going to shoot there," Rumble said.
Such was the case with
Spider-Man 3.
"It was cheaper to shoot in Ohio because the streets we were shooting on had storefronts that looked a little bit more like New York than Detroit did," Raimi explained. "But if the incentives Michigan has now had been in place, we would have had the money to adapt a set in Detroit."

lets just hope this spiderman will be better.
i am so sorry i wont go on any more. That whole rant was just basically about how frustrated i was with Spiderman 3. It should have been the best super movie to date, but everything went
maybe if it was called spiderman the musical it would have been good...
grr i hate that movie
'Villains'
I have a hunch 4 will be better than 3. Then again, I'm a die-hard Marvel. I'll see it regardless.
lol..good one but venom should've had the entire movie and topher grace had to be the worst pick to play the part (try sayin that 3 times)..did they not read the comics??
good news for Michiganians :)
