Sam Raimi Sorta Confirms Bruce Campbell’s Meaty Role in Spidey 4

Bruce Campbell has previously said that he’s due for a “meaty” role in Sam Raimi’s upcoming “Spider-Man 4″, but he wouldn’t say what that meaty role is. Some have speculated that the role could be that of a villain, but certainly not another one-and-done cameo...

Raimi Wants to Get Back to Basics With Spider-Man 4

There is the inevitable temptation while working on a sequel to do more and more in order to trump the prior films. Make it flashier and flashier. Fill in the sides. Soon the film becomes so bloated that it sinks beneath its own weight. I don’t necessarily need to tell you the problems with Spider-Man...

How to Not Make Spider-Man 4 A Total Mess

The original Spider-Man (2002) film was released to rave reviews, garnering a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the sequel (2004) was even more critically acclaimed with an average of 94%.

Bruce Campbell May or May Not by Mysterio in Spider-Man 4

Bruce Campbell in “Spider-Man 4″? Sure, probably. It is being directed by Sam Raimi, after all, and Raimi and Campbell go together like peanut butter and a fake guy watching Desperate Housewives alone at nights with the lights turned down so the neighbors don’t see. The latest rumor...

Sam Raimi Updates Spider-Man 4, More Evil Dead Promises

Between you and me and the three other guys who read this site regularly, let me confess that I’ve just about given up on an “Evil Dead 4″. At this point, I think it’s very obvious that Raimi just doesn’t have the passion for the franchise anymore, even though he keeps talking...

Sam Raimi Wants Dunst Back on Spidey 4, Evil Dead 4 Update

Let’s face it, at this point an “Evil Dead 4″ movie is looking less and less likely. After all, why would Sam Raimi, who seems to be more businessman than filmmaker nowadays (how many movies does Sammy have on the remake chopping block again?), could make more money and spend less time...

To be honest with you, I haven’t a clue if this is good news or bad news for Spider-Man, but Columbia Pictures has hired Pulitzer Prize winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire to pen the next installment of Peter Parker and company. Lindsay-Abaire wouldn’t be the first writer on a comic book...

Kirsten Dunst Confirms Spider-Man 4 and 5. Sorta.

When it comes to Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane in the Spider-Man films, I’ve always said I could do with or without, but preferably without, considering there’s the very fetching Gwen Stacy (played by the equally fetching Bryce Dallas Howard) waiting in the wings to take over the movie’s...

Bryce Dallas Howard Would Do Spider-Man 4 in a Heartbeat

Is it too much to ask the Powers That Be to kill off Mary Jane and replace her with Gwen Stacy in “Spider-Man 4″? Too much? Darn. Anyways, if they wanted her back, Bryce Dallas Howard (who played the spunky Gwen Stacy in “Spider-Man 3″) has said that she would come back “in...
