Hey folks, Harry here with Lo Wang reporting in. Lo Wang is an OLD TIME SPY... about 3 years for me so far. So... What he speaks should be considered as truth, as he has never... in all of that time steered me in the wrong direction. Plus I've had this confirmed by multiple sources of my own. As a result... Just get set... this'll be fantastic.
I have laid my peepers on an internal document which states that the
villains they are planning on using for the new SPIDER-MAN movie are his
old nemeses Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin. This document is VERY
recent, so this is not dated information -- it refers to where Raimi and
the Columbia Pics are taking the screen story, apparently dumping the
Koepp story altogether. Also, I can absolutely confirm for you (as if
you needed it) that Raimi is locked in as the director -- nothing has
been signed, but the paperwork is in process, and the deals have been
finalized to help speed up his post schedule for The Gift. Contracts
are never signed until the last minute anyway, so Raimi as director is
for all intents and purposes a done deal, and the studio would pretty
much have to fire Raimi at this point to take him off of it (and
reimburse him in some way). So, odds are that "Directed by Sam Raimi"
is the last of opening titles you will see on the silver screen when/if
the flick comes out. So, that's the scoop. Until I come up with a
better handle, you can still call me
