Vanderbilt Readying to Pen 'Spider-Man' Reboot Sequel


Is there any greater show of confidence in a film than to hire a writer to pen a sequel for a movie whose release is more than a year away? Heat Vision is reporting that James Vanderbilt, co-writer of the The Amazing Spider-Man, has begun writing the film’s sequel.

My first assumption is that Sony has no interest in waiting three years between films as it did with the first series of Sam Raimi-helmed productions. And why would they want to? If the movie connects, why not follow the James Bond and Transformers models of getting the movies out while audiences are hungry for another go round?

According to the article, The Amazing Spider-Man wraps production next month to enjoy what could be a luxurious post-production since the film won’t hit theaters for some time to come. No word yet on whether or not director Marc Webb is also prepared for another go round behind the lens.

The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters on July 3, 2012.
