No new 'Spider-Man'

A few shows back we talked about how filmmakers wanted John Malkovich to play Vulture and Anne Hathaway to play a new character called Vulturess in "Spider-Man 4." The studio didn't like that, they wanted Hathaway to be Black Cat.

Well now the two sides have reached an impasse and production on the film has been halted.

Honestly I don't think we need another Spider-Man movie. The third one was not very good and it's beginning to feel redundant. However, I am impressed to see a studio interested in using already established characters instead creating new ones just for the sake of it.

Perhaps the filmmakers should take another look at their plans and decide what's best for the movie and the franchise as a whole.

The big consequence of this is that now there's a big hole in the schedule for May 2011. It will be interesting to see what film steps up first to fill it.
