Director Sam Raimi was recently interviewed for DVD & Blu-Ray Review regarding “Spiderman 4″. When asked about complaints that were received for “Spiderman 3″, Raimi said the following:
“I think having so many villains detracted from the experience. I would agree with the criticism.”
Having recently released his latest horror film, “Drag Me To Hell”, Raimi shared lessons he had learned from the project and talked about his approach towards “Spiderman 4″:
“I think I’ve learned about the importance of getting to the point and the importance of having limitations, and I’m hoping to take that into a production where I’m actually allowed to explore with more of the tools to pull it off with a little more splendor…I hope I don’t lose that edge that I’ve just found. That would be my approach to ‘Spider-Man 4′: to get back to the basics.”
While there is no confirmation on the next villain for the fourth installment, Raimi had the following to say in an interview with MTV:
What we’re trying to do right now is really understand the journey Peter is going to go on this time and have the villain maybe be a counter to that growth, something that he has to overcome,” Raimi said. “Or maybe he has to grow in a way to overcome the villain, because there always seem to be stories of coming of age, of a young man growing up and learning things about life, so once we are identifying the exact movement that Peter has to grow to, I think the villain—and we’re trying this right now; we’re trying to choose a villain based on who would be the proper counter to that growth, so we really have dramatic conflict.
Do I hear Lizard? It only seems fitting with Dr. Connors being Peter’s professor and all, right – also with the fact that he’s been in the last 2 films? Let the speculation begin.
