Spider-Man 4 Aims for 2010 Start Date

Posted by Dr. Cole Abaius (cole.abaius@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 19, 2009

Seven years after helping to spark the Comic Book Film explosion, we’re getting reports now that the webslinger is looking to get in front of the camera by 2010 – ultimately setting sights for a May 2011 release.

J.K. Simmons told MTV Movies Blog that he’d be returning for his role as J. Jonah Jameson and gave notice of the proposed start date. The conversation apparently went down at Sundance, so I have to assume it took place in a bathroom somewhere.

It seems like everything is on track with David Lindsay-Abaire bringing his Pulitzer caliber to the screenwriting job, a start date, and a release date all in the works. Now, we’ll have to wait and see how many villains and dance numbers the film can pump into 140 minutes.

Am I the only one that found the dance number funny?

Adam_Sweeney

Yes, yes you are.

Haha! I laugh at it now, but when I saw 'Spiderman 3' in the theater and that dance part came up I was pissed...

The dance was supposed to be funny. It was the idea that that is what Peter considered cool, emo slick hair and all, but it just fell flat.

My prayers for a rated R Spidey-4 with Carnage as the villain will probably not be answered. Actually, I don't even want them to touch Carnage. They destroyed everything about Venom, and probably could do the red goo justice if they tried.

Hmmm... It sounds like Marvel has everything set for 2011 incl Avengers. Can we see a cameo from Spidey in Avengers? Love the pic from above, Spidey meets Bollywood Style.

The Lizard. They've been setting him up the last few movies.

And remember it was Sony that stepped in and told Sam Raimi to put in Venom and emo dancing.
