    Spider-Man 4 gets a director: Marc Webb, from (500) Days of Summer

    It's time for your Hollywood Minute! Late last night it emerged that Marc Webb, the director of (500) Days of Summer, which I think is a romantic comedy/drama judging by the trailer (I do have the rip sitting on one of my hard drives, lest you think we don't practice what we preach), will direct Spider-Man 4. The movie is currently scheduled to be released in the summer of 2012, and may well be filmed in 3D.

    Shocking news, friends. You know the guy who plays Edward in Twilight, Robert Pattison? (Note: I didn't know the guy until just this very moment. I don't watch TV, you see.)

    Infighting said to mar production of Spider-Man 4 movie. Good.

    We all know that the Spider-Man movies peaked with the very first one, before it devolved into tweenish melodrama. So I have zero expectation that Spider Man 4 will even be worth the CAM download. Now this? We'll have to go into integers to understand how little faith I have in it being worth a damn. Word is that director Sam Raimi is butting heads with Sony execs over who should be the villain. Raimi wants Vulture, but Sony thinks Vulture isn't a box office draw.
