Here’s the article at the Daily Cartoonist:

“Spider-Man” Director Sam Raimi has pulled out of the Spider-Man 4 project and with him goes Tobey Maquire. According to Deadline.com, Sony Pictures has decided to push Spider-Man 4 to a summer 2012 release with a new script and cast centered on Peter Parker back in high school “grappling with extraordinary powers” as a young adult.

I guess this is aimed at getting more “young adults” into the theater.  I read “make it more like twilight” when I read the article.  Maybe that’s just my opinion. Spider-man 1 and 2 were great achievements in the realm of comic book movie making, then the studio wanted to make it “successful” and “marketable” we got Venom shoehorned into the plot of Spider-man 3, a hokey dance sequence and a giant Sandman.

I hope they take as an example the reboot of Spectacular Spiderman which is amazingly well done and available on DVD now.
Check it out, it’s so good I DVR’d it.
