If the ‘Spider-Man 4′ script is any good and Sony wants it, Sam Raimi will be back to direct, he said in an interview yesterday. I don’t know if he means ‘Spider-Man 2′ good or ‘Spider-Man 3′ good, but he’s definitely considering to return. James Vanderbilt is currently writing the script and Raimi is eager to read it.
“I think [the script] is going to be done in a few months. I’m hoping it’s as great as our discussions were about it and hoping it feels right for me, because I love Spider-Man, and I’m hoping I’m well-enough rested to, like, really embrace it and hoping that Sony wants me at that time to direct it. So if all those things come together, I would love, love to do it,” Raimi said.
Most of the ‘Spider-Man’ cast signed for three movies and there are a lot of questions about who will be returning. If Raimi returns, he would want the original cast. “Well, I hate to recast anybody in the picture,” he said. “But this is a lot of unknowns about the future,” he added.

 | | Guy Ritchie wants to create a mystery. He has signed to direct Warner Bros’ ‘Sherlock Holmes.’
The studio wants to release the detective feature in 2010 and would like to display a more adventurous Holmes. Apparently he will be boxing and sword fighting, like in the new comic book. Is this the same pipe-smoking Sherlock Holmes we are talking about?
The character, created by writer Arthur Conan Doyle in the 19th century, featured in over 200 films and TV shows since his first book. Guy Ritchie will also rewrite and polish the script by Tony Peckham.

I don’t want to start bashing a movie before it’s out, but Michael Bay’s production company Platinum Dunes thought it would be a good idea to make a ‘Ouija’ movie. I think there’s a reason why the board wasn’t the subject of any movie during the over 100 years of its existence, but maybe there’s a story in there somewhere. The board of course had several cameos in recent years, so you might as well fill a whole movie with it.
David Berenbaum will write the screenplay. Going by his track record (’The Spiderwick Chronicles’ and ‘The Haunted Mansion’) this won’t be a critical hit, nor a box office one. Or am I being too critical here? No further words on possible production or release dates.
