On March 12, 2009, on the Studio Post Twitter, even on Twitter, this spider release date 4: May 6, 2011, respectively, has been running for the project for 3 years.

Everything was in good condition, with the mercenary screenwriter, James Vanderbilt (Zodiact) – even if Sony then calls on various writers to expand the story. Player David Lindsi-Abai (the author of the next script of the rabbit hole) offers a version of Curt Connors, Alias Lézard (already visible in Spider-Man and 3), In the role of the perpetrator, the version, which will then be copied by Gary Ross.
Then, Michael Ari Seidman’s turn is to offer his idea: Spider-Man against Kraven the Hunter, while this Peter Parker’s human aspect that we love. This version was also appreciated Sam RamimWhich agrees to return. But the director has his own approach to: electric and prey to bad boys and black cat ally and hero’s girlfriend – a romantic aspect, though, quite imposed by the studio.
What should they talk about?
The intrigue had to see the prey banks and the stealing of a nuclear capsule with a certain Max Dillon that he would cling to. Thus, it becomes an electron during their confrontation. In the spirit of Sam Ramim : The Air Battle of the New York Air Battle between Araungy Man and The Vulture, where Peter points out that he could not touch the electricity, and finally, the help of a black cat, which goes out of the midst, defeats two bad people who are also associated. In short, it seems to be an epic and right path …
And then, nothing more: it will be the latest known version of the project. It seems that Sony disagrees and insists on the erection of lizards or friction. No one agrees and the film was suspended on January 6, 2010. However, Toby Maguir (Peter Parker), Kirsten Dunst (Mary Jane Watson) and Michael Papojoni (uncle Ben Ben) were, and several actors referred to by Super-Vilans, Bruce Campbell. Malkovich for a predator. The latter is absolutely desirable Sam Ramim But the studio does not want it. Here’s a review of how Mysterio and Vulture looked like …
For the black cat, Ann Hethuai, Romola Garai and Julia Stiles would even receive an Audice.

And then, surprisingly: one week after the break Spider-Man 4, January 13, 2010, Sony literally changes the hat and announces reset by 2012, without Sam RamimAnd written James Vanderbilt. Even evil is chosen: a lizard.
In his justifications, the studio states that he wants “more modern and realistic” Peter Parker: Tobey maguire Thus, Andrew Garfield (social network) has changed and the title becomes an amazing spider.

For Sam Ramim However, everything was friendly as he told Vulture Media (which means “vulture” in English …) in 2013: “The decomposition was friendly and not so spectacular: we just had a deadline, and I couldn’t afford a history that works at the level I wanted to work.»
He continued: “I was very dissatisfied with Spider-Man 3 and I wanted the spider-man 4 to be a very high level, the best is all spider-man. But I couldn’t manage the scenario that was standing in time, and that’s my fault, so I said to Sony: “I don’t want to make a movie that is less good, so I think you don’t have to do it.»
This concludes the story of the film that some fans want to see.
