In case you haven’t heard the news, SPIDER-MAN 4 isn’t happening. What’s more, Sony has decided to dump the old cast/director and reboot the series.
In my nerd heart, this only means one thing: we might gets James Cameron’s SPIDER-MAN after all.
For those that don’t remember, Cameron lobbied to direct a SPIDER-MAN film for Fox but Sony and several other production entities claimed ownership over the franchise. It took a court hearing to grant Sony the rights but by that time Cameron had moved on to a long gestating project called AVATAR.
Now that Sony wants to reboot the series, why not go back to Cameron’s treatment? Wouldn’t that be f**king awesome? I mean, who else could do a better job? Fincher?
Ooh, a Fincher Spidey would be cool.
Hey, a fan boy can dream.
