Gary Ross, who directed Tobey Maguire in Seabiscuit and Pleasantville, has come aboard to rewrite the script for Spider-Man 4, reports Variety.

Sam Raimi will again direct the Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios project that will go into production early next year.

The Spider-Man 4 script was originally written by James Vanderbilt, and then rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire.

The fourth installment is scheduled for a May 6, 2011 release.

Interesting, hoping it will be better than the third. But then again I don't know if it could get any worse

I sure hope this is better than Spider-Man 3, just like everyone else is.

If they're going this far to re-write it 3 times, I think it might be okay.

I'm doubting they will ever get this done. And it better be Dark Knight quality after how long it's taken, not to mention as an apology for Spider-man 3.

For the love of GOD, please bring in a different Mary Jane Watson!!! Kristen Dunst is nowhere near the beauty portrayed in the comics. They need to revamp her BIGTIME!!!

Michael Jackson can come back from the dead to try and steal Tobey Maguires youthful charm.

Hopefully Raimi is given creative control so another 'Spiderman 3' won't happen. And Kristen Dunst is a terrific Mary Jane.

Does, in all honesty, anyone even care anymore. Yea, another 2 1/2 hours of watching Kirsten Dunst stare blankly into a camera and hope no one notices she can't act.
