Pulitzer-Winning Playwright May Script SPIDER-MAN 4!!

I am – Hercules!!


David Lindsay-Abaire, who won the Pulitzer Prize last year for his play “Rabbit Hole,” is negotiating to write “Spider-Man 4,” which will reunite director Sam Raimi, star Tobey Maguire and probably Kirsten Dunst. James Vanderbilt (“Basic,” “The Rundown,” “Zodiac”) previously penned a draft.

Lindsay-Abaire previously co-wrote the GGI comedy-adventure “Robots” with Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel.

The plot of “4” is a closely guarded secret, but I’ll bet Spidey pounds some guy with superpowers. Or some girl if it's Black Cat.
