Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire, and Kirsten Dunst have left the production of Spiderman 4. Sam Raimi quit the production saying that he could not meet the scheduled release date and maintain creative integrity. Some accounts say Raimi hated the script. Sony has pulled the plug on Spiderman 4 and is moving forward with plans to reboot the franchise.
In a press release, Sony announced: “Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.”
Sam Raimi says : “While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job” .
