Raimi along with a few other successful Hollywood directors have been just a little ahead of the media game reporters like to play. Sam anticipates questions regarding the new Spidey film scheduled to hit theatres in the not so distant future. Which is fine except we really don't get an answer to the questions that these A list directors are asked. What we get is a predetermined response to what they thought was going to be the question.
When asked the status of the Spidey Script Raimi states "I've just started working on the next installment of the Spider-Man series," (huh?? I swear Sam said that very same thing a month or so ago) according to JoBlo.com. "Screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire is in New York right now writing the screenplay and I am going to receive a draft of it in about three weeks I think."
All perfectly timed for the Script to be talked about while doing the press tour for Drag Me To Hell. Obviously all this can change, three weeks, can easily turn into a month or surprise us all and get done in two weeks (wont happen). We should also receive some villain news as well, it would only make sense since the script would be finished and all.
