Amazing Spider-Man is On and Spider-Man 4 is Postponed

This is the good thing about having a famous franchise movie like Spider-Man. You will be torn between a sequel or a prequel and the likelihood of both being so successful is close mammoth dollars topping the box office.

Sony Entertainment has decided to drop Spider-Man 4 and instead, do a reboot, according to Entertainment Weekly.

According to studio insiders, Sony was working on both Raimi's Spider-Man 4 and the new origin story from James Vanderbilt, who wrote Zodiac. The original plan was to keep the Spider-Man gang together for one last film in 2011 before rebooting the series in 2012. When it became clear that Raimi would not be able to make the summer 2011 release date planned for Spider-Man 4, the studio opted to scrap Spider-Man 4 altogether, and focus solely on the series reboot.

Vanderbilt's remake script was also said to be a grittier take on Peter Parker's world.

This time around, the series will place Peter Parker in a more contemporary setting, as a teenager battling today's issues.

Well, whatever they are going to with Peter Parker, fine by me. As long as they are going to pursue making Spider-Man movies.
