News today is that Spider-Man 4 will be made, hopefully with Raimi on board. In related news Dunst has been talking about how a movie without the usual suspects would fail. News is plundered from the Yahoo:
Dunst told Entertainment Weekly that if that happens, a “Spider-Man 4” without Raimi, her and Maguire — who plays the comic book superhero — would be “disrespectful to the whole team.”
“Audiences aren’t stupid. It’d be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam,” Dunst said in a story posted on the celebrity magazine’s Web site, ew.com.
I would have to disagree with Kristen on this one. I think people would be disappointed to see Raimi gone. Spider-Man has been his baby and he really has done a fantastic job overall, it would be strange to have someone else is the Director’s chair – but people would still see the film. Maguire in my opinion would be the most difficult to replace, he does an amazing job as Peter Parker and It would be awkward to see another play the role.
Sadly, it is Kristen herself that would be the most replaceable. Many have not been thrilled with her portrayal of Mary Jane; I have hated her as the character. I consider this one of the worst miscasts in all of film history and pray daily to Shiva that she gets replaced. If they fired her from the role I would have a small parade in my hometown and would make the greatest Spider-Man float the world has ever seen. I don’t know why she feels that she is irreplaceable – she needs to stop listening to her mother and start reading message boards.
