"Spider-Man" News Spin

Producer Grant Curits of "Spider-Man 3" was interviewed recently saying how Raimi and the crew were spending several hours a day working on post-production for the new Spider-Man epic. When asked if there was too much going on in the film he responded:
"If you were concerned three villains is also too many, Curtis said that they don't just throw a villain into a Spidey movie. He says every villain in the movie has a connection to Peter Parker's story, which remains the center of the franchise. From Harry's growing tension with Peter over the death of Harry's father, to Sandman being the real killer of Uncle Ben, and Venom's connection to Peter (you'll have to see the movie to find out what that is!), everything is told through Parker's story."

Ugh, I still hope that stuff about Sandman being the real killer of Ben Parker is a pile of crap. Like I said, that totally defeats the purpose of Spider-Man's genesis. I still think the ending I predicted is coming.
The movie was screened recently and it was recieved very well. So well, that Sony Pictures decided to approach writer David Koepp (who just got done writing the fourth Indiana Jones film) to write a sequel. Sony was very impressed with the first cut of the film and are trying to move forward with a fourth installment. Koepp wrote the first "Spider-Man", the first two Jurassic Park films and "War of the Worlds". No word yet on whether the whole crew will stay for another movie, but according to Curtis, they're hard at work finishing "Spider-Man 3" and have not thought much beyond it.
Again, I wouldn't mind a fourth film because these trilogies are getting kind of old. I just hope Sony can keep all the cast and crew members of the first three if they plan on doing a fourth.
