Sam Raimi Still Up for Spider-Man 4?

Yes that could work.

They actually planned for that for about 5 years, but then they stopped all the plans. Perhaps an appearance in a Spidey film would reignite plans and production.

Im sure it wouldn't hurt.

It all depends. If we end up seeing a very popular Venom in a extremely successful Spider-Man 3 or 4 then we might just see a spinoff franchise after Spidey is all said and done.

Yeah, they should stop teasing us, at least. Sounds like you read the same article that I did, Prophet. I remember that a screenplay had already been written, and it was done so by a guy who admittedly wasn't terribly fond of the character--which irked me.

But after hearing about plans to bring Venom to the big screen for more than 3 or 4 years now, I'm not exactly holding my breath.
I remember being so excited when I first heard they were making an X-Men movie--but it took them like 6 years to start production. By then, my excitement had waned quite a bit.

I feel exactly the same way about it badsymbiote. I was thinking about creating a "Venom Movie Thread" where I could post all of the information I have on it. Although since the movie is not currently actively in production I wasn't sure anyone would be interested, what do you think?

There does seem to be a lot of hype about a venom movie. They would have to introduce him as a villain in a spiderman movie and then turn him into a hero. Then he could have his own film.

I agree, and thats why after New Line Cinema lost the rights to a Venom film Marvel kept them in reserve most likely waiting to have him be introduced in a Spider-Man film first.

I think there is no better candidate than you to create the thread. Venom seems to be generating plenty of interest as far as I'm concerned. In the last six months or so, I've gotten messages and E-mails from probably 50 people who found me through the internet (asking me questions about the character, asking for pictures and opinions, or expressing gratitude for my praise of their work). The interest is there...if you would be willing to do it, that would be great.

If the Venom movie happens to be Spidey3, then so be it. I know you'd keep us informed either way.

Sorry dude but its true.Raimi loves the classic bad guys.

He wouldnt have Venom in one of his movies.No way.He cant stand him.

I think it will be the lizard in part 3 and I'm hoping either Electro or the Sandman for part 4. That way can hopefully lead up to the sinister six. That would be an awesome movie.

It would certainly be an interesting possibility....

Well it would be a nice change from the one villain per movie rule they have so far. I know it sounds strange but it could work.

The only way something like that could be done is if Sam Raimi helmed the project.

Judging by the latest rumors it seems that Sandman might actually be in Spider-Man 3 instead and I have my doubts about Electro.

Screw Spider-Man 4, bring us Evil Dead 4!

The sandman is a great villain as long as they do a good background story the movie should rock. They can make him kinda like the villain in terminator 2. You punch him and it goes thru him. When he punches you watch out its rock hard.

I agree the Sandman is a great villain with plenty of ways that his character can be used in the film. Although honestly, if Spider-Man 3 were Raimi's last Spidey film then I would be disppointed with the choice.

lol, we will have to see what Raimi's next move is after Spider-Man 3 is released.

Yeah, well, after seeing the morgue Doc Ock scene in Spidey 2, you can see that Raimi still has some Evil Dead in him to fish out.

I agree, filmmakers often return to where they originally started or to the type of film they love the most. (ex. Steven Spielberg is returning to what originally gave him his fame in the first place with his next "alien" film)

Although honestly, if Spider-Man 3 were Raimi's last Spidey film then I would be disppointed with the choice.

Well The first 2 movies were awesome so I'm sure part 3 will be great. If it is the last movie they will go all out for the trilogy effect. I would love to see a part 4. I'm hoping they do the star wars ... 2 trilogies that work together, but without the jar jar binks. lol

lol, but seriously another SW type franchise wouldn't be bad at all. It seems the Spider-Man franchise is headed in the same direction with the first two films grossing more than $370 million and as we all know each film in the SW franchise so far has grossed $290 million or more.
