(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); October 17, 2007 - Sam Raimi, director of the first three Spider-Man films, has revealed that behind-the-scenes meetings about the next movie in the blockbuster comic-based series are going on right now. Raimi, while talking to members of the press about his newly produced vampire horror flick 30 Days of Night, says that fans can expect a fresh take on Spidey in the next film.

Raimi, who may or may not direct Spider-Man 4 (he is not yet under contract), says he isn't aware of any plans for a total franchise reboot, but that Sony Pictures has been meeting with different writers "to try and bring a fresh new story and approach" to the series.

"I've been in meetings with Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, our producers, and [studio boss] Amy Pascal," Raimi reveals. "Different writers have been coming in and spinning different tales of where Spider-Man could go from here."

With a new approach to the Web-slinger being mulled, would Raimi still consider directing?

"It would depend on a lot of things," he says. "But it would be great because I love Spider-Man! If we can find the right story... Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be a great story, because a lot of people are working really hard right now to make it really great story."

If it's over a year old, why post it?

I'm pretty sure they already decided on a plot. I think the movie's coming out in 2010

not another one

Spider-man rocks, I have his AiM.
