"Spider-Man 4" No More  Spider-Man 4 changes: Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios on Monday announced that the next Spider-Man movie will take Peter Parker back to high school -- and that director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire will no longer be involved with the franchise. The next Spider-Man film is now targeted for 2012, as the studios will move forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises. The new chapter in the Spider-Man franchise produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios and Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin, will have a new cast and filmmaking team. Spider-Man 4 was to have been released in 2011, but had not yet gone into production. "A decade ago we set out on this journey with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire and together we made three Spider-Man films that set a new bar for the genre. When we began, no one ever imagined that we would make history at the box-office and now we have a rare opportunity to make history once again with this franchise. Peter Parker as an ordinary young adult grappling with extraordinary powers has always been the foundation that has made this character so timeless and compelling for generations of fans. WeÕre very excited about the creative possibilities that come from returning to Peter's roots and we look forward to working once again with Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin on this new beginning," said Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment. "Working on the Spider-Man movies was the experience of a lifetime for me. While we were looking forward to doing a fourth one together, the studio and Marvel have a unique opportunity to take the franchise in a new direction, and I know they will do a terrific job," Raimi said. "We have had a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration and friendship with Sam and Tobey and they have given us their best for the better part of the last decade.This is a bittersweet moment for us because while it is hard to imagine Spider-Man in anyone elseÕs hands, I know that this was a day that was inevitable," said Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, who has served as the studi's chief production executive since the beginning of the franchise. "Now everything begins anew, and that's got us all tremendously excited about what comes next. Under the continuing supervision of Avi and Laura, we have a clear vision for the future of Spider-Man and can't wait to share this exciting new direction with audiences in 2012." "Spider-Man will always be an important franchise for Sony Pictures and a fresh start like this is a responsibility that we all take very seriously," said Michael Lynton, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures. "We have always believed that story comes first and story guides the direction of these films. As we move onto the next chapter, we will stay true to that principle and will do so with the highest respect for the source material and the fans and moviegoers who deserve nothing but the best when it comes to bringing these stories and characters to life on the big screen." According to the studio it will have more news about Spider-Man in 2012 in the coming weeks as it prepares for production of the film. |

It sounds like they're throwing the "movieverse" continuity of the first three films out the window. And that sets a bad precedent. That may imply that the next X-Men movie (which I believe is supposed to be about "Young X-Men" - so 90210 again!) will disregard everything they did in the first three X-movies and Wolverine.
It also sounds like the studio is trying to save money by ditching the original cast (and director) and replacing them with younger actors who will work for less.
