Gary Ross To Rewrite 'Spider-Man 4'

Gary Ross is back in the saddle with his “Seabiscuit” star Tobey Maguire.

Ross has come aboard to rewrite the script for “Spider-Man 4,” the Sam Raimi-directed film that Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios will put into production early next year.

While Maguire has toplined both of the films Ross has directed (“Pleasantville” is the other), the “Spider-Man 4” deal comes more from Ross’s growing relationship with Sony.

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