I am – Hercules!!
Screenwriter Gary Ross is rewriting Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 4,” following drafts penned by James Vanderbilt ("The Rundown," "Zodiac") and David Lindsay-Abaire ("Robots," "Inkheart").
Ross has already scripted some mighty fine high-concept movies, including “Big” (starring Tom Hanks) and “Dave” (starring Kevin Kline), so I’m hugely gratified to hear the news.
This will be at least the third Tobey Maguire vehicle for Ross, who wrote and directed both “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit.”
If you run into Ross, ask him if he's going to let the Black Cat or the Kingpin slap Spidey around this time.
