Bid on Spidey 4? | Movie NewsConsidering the billions in hard currency generated by the SPIDER-MAN movie trilogy, obviously Sony wants another one in theaters as soon as possible. And while a 2011 release has been kicked around, there is still no director or cast officially committed.

But that doesn't mean you can't bid on a chance to be in this theoretical movie! There's an auction now up on ebay (in the name of a cancer charity, although it appears legitimately tied to Sony) that will let the winning bidder visit the set, make a walk-on appearance, meet the cast, go to the red carpet premiere, and even get some snazzy new duds! See all the details RIGHT HERE!

Not a bad package, especially since SPIDER-MAN 4 remains a vapormovie at the moment. But perhaps this means an official announcement is pending. If not, there's going to be one seriously disappointed (but deep-pocketed) winner.

Thanks to all the readers that gave us the heads-up on this!

Extra Tidbit: Any bets on the next movie's main villain? I'd love to see Lizard, Rhino and Vulture... all being hunted by Kraven.

How about no Spider-Man 4? And if they do, how about the producers actually let the DIRECTOR make the DIRECTING decisions this time around like the first two? If there does happen to be a 4th, please...only one villain at a time, fellas.

Spidey 3 to me is not as bad as these fanboys makes it out to be..the only parts that bothered me too much with Mary Jane...emo Peter..the horrfic dance sequence..maybe Harry was handled too quickly..delete or reduce the majority you could have had more screen time put on Venom.

As for villains considering Dr. Curt Conners has been in every movie you gotta have Lizard..& perhaps Vulture as

As for villains considering Dr. Curt Conners has been in every movie you gotta have Lizard..& perhaps Vulture as well..no reboots nedeed anymore...with comic films i think the standars nowadays should be a trilogy and nothing more becuz you simply cant please everyone hence the mistakes of X3 and Spidey 3..lets hope they do it right for Iron Man sequels and future Marvel properties.

Spidey 3
...was a disappointment compared to the first two, but it was not a "shitty movie". Ghost Rider was a "shitty movie", "Batman & Robin" was a "shitty movie". Catwoman was a "shitty movie".

I'm simply saying people have a disproportionate amount of hate toward it because of how good the first two were.

Oh, and as for villains I'd go for THe Lizard natch, and Mysterio if they include a second (Kraven is cool in the comics but I just don't think he'd be that impressive on screen).

SPEAKING OF REBOOTS..
..isn't it time someone fixed the X-Men franchise after the piece of shite that was "The Last Stand"?

As for the villains in a new Spidey, I stand by my choices of Chameleon and Mysterio.

the best thing that could (but wont) happen to spider man is for the story to be placed in rightful hands of marvel studios. how about a bid for that? every one who cares can put up 20 bucks and im sure we can buy the rights to spider man and hand em over to marvel

I can't even keep count on how many times I've posted something related to Spidey3 sucking so bad that it blew! Three years ago I would've said 'bring it on' to a Spider-Man 4, 5, 6, and 7! Now..I say f*ck it and do it over...let Marvel handle the entire thing and keep that d*ckface Raimi away from it.

Enough with the Spiderman 3 apologists. That movie was a piece of crap. Watch the part where "bad" Peter is walking down the street, then does a song and dance number again. GARBAGE. And they ruined Venom, period.

Spidey 3
I had fun with Spiderman 3 as well. It had its share of flaws, but it wasn't absolutely horrible IMO. For what it was and what they were trying to do with their story (yes, "their story"since it's been apparent from the 1st film they weren't trying to be faithful to the comics) it worked well enough.

That being said, if they decide to 'reboot' with a 4th movie I'd be cool with it. Heck, even

That being said, if they decide to 'reboot' with a 4th movie I'd be cool with it. Heck, even if they scrapped the entire cast I wouldn't complain. But if they absolutely have to keep Tobey, just don't give him any crying scenes. Ever. The guy can't do them, period.

It would be great with those two !

And no Andris, you're not alone, I liked Spidey 3 very much & enjoyed every scene of it. I found this very "spider man feeling" in this one like the two before....

I don't wanna be murdered for my question, but
Am I the only one who liked Spidey 3!?

It's amazing that almost everybody hated it, when I found it as entertaining as the first two of the series.
The only scene I disliked was the crying-in-the-park because that Was fake, but apart from that I liked the movie from start to finish!

LIZARD & KRAVEN (NO REBOOT)
No need for a 'reboot' just IMPROVE on the last, give us the LIZARD with him & spidey hunted by KRAVEN played by DANNY TREJO. But if toby won't do it, give it to Shia LeBeouf, he has the right amount of geek and can do the spidey-wisecracks, and isn't too muscly like Jake 'I've got muscles' Gyllenhaal (sp)

Lizard and Vulture with Ben Kingsley as the latter as it was originally intended for 3 before Avi Arad fucked it up. And yes they should get the original cast and crew back. It could be huge.

I don't know. I think a fourth one could be good, that is, if they learned their listen after the 3rd one.

I don't like that they're just doing it for money either. Where is the love for the character of Peter Parker/Spiderman? It obviously wasn't there in the 3rd movie.

Whoever wins that package will be be a lucky-ass moth*r fu*k*r, I want to see Lizard take on Spidey in the fourth film, and if they must have another villain in the film then let it be Rhino or Black Cat, I would like the original cast to return, this series is Un-Rebootable, so all the people asking for a Spidey reboot can forget about it, it's not gonna happen!

We have 2 great films out of 3, so whoever they can bring back will be good news to me.
I'd like to see well-done venom or carnage. Also the lizard, all those dr. connors cameos have been leading up to him, IMO.

Dr. Conners has been floating around in the series long enough, it's time to transform the bastard. On that note, just use one villian for the next film.

It worked wonders for the first two movies: it kept them simple in premise, but allowed Raimi and the cast to stretch and capitalize upon their material. First things first: while the series needs a new direction and look from new talent and fresh blood injected into it, it needs to go back to the basics that made the series popular and get its fanbase back onboard. "Spider-Man" can, like Bond or Star Trek, be a great serial series if handled right and it can keep on keepin' on. Here's to hoping for the best!

AGREED
I'm with you on this one, Phatmaster. Spidey 3 might have been a letdown but one bad filmout of three does not ruin a series. Also, let's remember that what was wrong with 3 was largely due to the STUDIO's interference (telling Raimi he had to rewrite the script to include Venom and Gwen Stacey). The Studio can mess things up no matter who's involved so we might as well trust it to someone who's

Cool to hear, pretty slick promotion.

But I agree, I would really love to see the whole crew back. Even though Spidey 3 wasn't all it was snuffed up to be, we all know they can make a great flick together.

Tobey Maguire is great in the role, but the good ol' Parker bad luck is running thin. I really do think a move like killing off Mary Jane would work. Not many people care for Kirsten

To me, Gwen Stacy's death in the comics really defines Spider-Man, and the films are sorely missing that kind of moment.

Without Tobey Maguire, it'll be pure shit. You don't replace actors like that for no reason after only a few movies and still have a successful franchise. It completely ruins it because the investment people make in a certain character is destroyed once they're replaced.

there is no way in hell they would do a full reboot, unlike Hulk and to an extent Superman Returns, with Spidey, they had an origin film that people really liked. just a recast with new villains would suffice. they dont have to make Peter such a loser anymore and do something with his character other than girlfriend trouble. and Kraven is awesome. i think it is time for some spider hunting.

Personally, I'd like to see them do Venom again, but right this time, and get someone less... ummm, boreing and dorky to play Eddie brock, the Ultimate Universe Venom sucked, go back to the Basics. And I like the idea of Kraven, vulture Rhino and the lizard, that would be really sweet!
