Sam Raimi has been doing press for his new horror film Drag Me To Hell, which means we’ve been getting some small updates on Spider-Man 4. The director says that he’s looking to prove himself after the well criticized Spider-Man 3 mistakes.
He tells MTV that he’s talked with Kirsten Dunst about returning for another film, and while she is willing, he can’t say for sure until he has a script in hand. As you probably already know, Pulitzer Prize-winning Playwright David Lindsay-Abaire has been working on the script, and Raimi says that he’ll have a draft in his hands in Mid-June.
Also, he’s about to hire “a production skeleton”, later telling the Los Angeles Times that Spider-Man 4 will hopefully begin shooting in February 2010, aiming for the announced May 6th 2011 release.
It's nice to see him admit that he f-ucked up, it gives me a bit more hope for Spider-Man 4; hopefully he can bring it back to the quality of the first two. Despite Spider-Man 3's shortcomings, I have faith that Raimi can bring the franchise back.

"I’ve learned a lot of lessons about what people didn’t like and missteps that I’d made,” the director tells Cinematical. “I made a lot of mistakes, and it’s part of the reason I so want to make this next story of Peter Parker. I really think I know in my heart who the character is… I would like one more chance at it [that character].” … “I really do look at them as things that I’ve learned, and hope that when I apply what I’ve learned to this next one, I really make a film that people enjoy and is really true to the character in a fresh, original way. That’s my goal."
