You would think that with the huge success of Spider-Man 2 Sam Raimi just might be kicking back, relaxing and watching the money roll in, but you would be wrong. Yeah Spidey 2 has already made over $300 million domestically, but Raimi isn’t stopping there as he tells the BBC in an interview that he has already finished an early script for Spider-Man 3 already slated for a May 4, 2007 release date, and he lends a few details.
When asked about the script Raimi says, “I just finished this morning [Monday 12th July] – I mean the basic story. I’d been working on it with my brother…
It’s going to follow the natural progression of the growth of these two individuals, Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker. It will be a love story and it will track the relationship as they encounter new conflicts that separate them. And hopefully their own will and love for each other will bring them back together in the piece. Harry will be a problem, but I’m not certain if Harry will become the Goblin or not. The thing I’m really not certain about is if he comes to feel, “Now I have the means to destroy Spider-Man – I was too weak before but now I have a way and I will become the man that my father always dreamed I could be.” Or, does he feel: “Now I understand why Spider-Man had to destroy him, because he was a mass murderer and now my anger can drain away from me.” It could be an answer to a question and it ends the pursuit, but I’m not certain which way to go.”
