Today would mark the ten-year anniversary of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 releasing in theaters - if the movie hadn’t fallen apart in the production process. By now the story of Spider-Man 4’s fall is infamous - but for those who don’t know, here’s a recap of that bit of comic book history: After Spider-Man 3 hits theaters in 2007, Sony immediately went to work on developing Spider-Man 4 in 2008, for release in 2011, with rumors stating plans for Spider-Man 5 (and possibly a whole second trilogy) were also in the wings (those production plans have since been refuted by Raimi). Zodiac writer James Vanderbilt was handling the script, and Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and the other trilogy actors were coming back - with some exciting new additions, as well.
