With Sam Raimi, the director for the Spiderman Trilogy, now opting out of the project, news have it that even Tobey Maguire is out and the studio is now looking to bring in a whole new cast and crew for Spiderman 4.

According to reports, Sony wants “a more gritty, contemporary redo of the series,” and is looking towards the fresh batch of directors to do this next installment, which has been planned to run in 2010. What that probably means is targeting the “Twilight” market, which, from the marketing point of view, sounds feasible, but this will probably alienate hardcore fans of the comic book character.

Whatever is the result of this though, I just have to say that a third Spiderman was, in fact, completely unnecessary, so I really don’t care much about a fourth installment. Why can’t they just do something new?
