I don't really know how to introduce that but well looks like Sony Pictures has ditched Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire over creatives differences....

Director Sam Raimi and Sony didn't manage to agree on what villain would be in Spiderman 4, so Sony Pictures has decided to scrap Sam Raimi's Spiderman in order to reboot the franchise!

And looks like they already have a script for this Spiderman Reboot: it was written by James Vanderbilt long ago as a back-up plan. The new Spiderman would be a darker version.

Also the word is that Sony is hellbent on releasing The Spiderman reboot movie in 3D.

If Sony wants to stick to its release schedule, I guess we'll get more details soon.

What do you think of this reboot of the Spiderman franchise?

Update: Andrew Garfield is the new Peter Parker aka Spider-Man and Rhys Ifans will plays as the villain

It's not without feeling some frustration that I learned that Spiderman 4 is being pushed back from 2009 to May 2011...

During a meeting with theater owners Spider-Man producer Laura Ziskin revealed that Spider Man 4 is tentatively scheduled in May 2011. Moreover the screenplay of Spiderman 4 is not even finished yet... And besides, neither Director Sam Raimi nor Actor Tobey Maguire is yet confirmed for this fourth movie installment of the Spider-Man franchise.

Why do they wait so long? Aren't they afraid of people loosing interest not only in Spiderman but more generally in the superhero genre if they wait too long?

Let's hope that Marvel and Sony will try to start the production of Spiderman 4 as soon as possible!
