I have to admit, the notion of Gary Ross, the guy behind “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit” writing “Spider-Man 4″ was kinda a shock already, but the idea of him writing and directing a “Venom” spin-off movie was just … strange, though not unheard of;...

Well now ain’t this just out of left field. Filmmaker Gary Ross, writer/director on such inspirational dramas as “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit”, was recently tapped to take a swing at the “Spider-Man 4″ script, which got a lot of heads turning. And now the...
