Recently over at CHUD, they posted an excerpt from a video interview with Spider-Man and Drag Me to Hell director, and all-around cool, guy Sam Raimi. The interview was primarily to promote his upcoming return to the horror genre with Drag Me to Hell — which looks awesome, btw.
However, during the interview, they also manged to sneak in a few questions about Raimi’s next project, a movie you might have heard something about: Spider-Man 4. Among the things discussed in the interview was a rather big bombshell that we might be seeing Spider-Man fight vampires in the next film.
Of course, if that’s true, that means the villain (at least one of them) will have to be Morbius — in addition to, or instead of, The Lizard, which Marvel’s Avi Arad has been hinting would be the next Spidey villain. So, will we really see Spider-Man battling vampires in the next film? Check out Raimi’s response to the question in the video over at CHUD. It’s pretty interesting.
Now personally i was hoping since the release of Spider-man 2 that we'd see the Lizard. But in my opinion seeing a guy like a bat on the big screen is rather strange.

Spider-man 4 filming in Ireland?
The Sam Raimi-directed “Spider-Man 4” is years away from hitting theaters, but production is already scouting locations for the friendly neighborhood sequel. Interestingly enough, Peter Parker might be trading in his Daily Bugle gig for something decidedly more European.
According to Irish newspaper The Dundalk Democrat, “Spider-Man 4″ will film a small portion of the movie in Dundalk, Ireland. A somewhat sketchy article in the paper indicates that director Raimi has his sights set on the Irish town’s massive wind turbine for the titular superhero to scale.
The article states that Raimi first heard of the 60-meter high wind turbine through a New York Times article that detailed Dundalk’s Sustainable Energy Zone. Given the structure’s massive height, it’s more than likely that Spider-Man will ascend the towering object at some point in the film.
That’s assuming, of course, that the article has its facts straight. From typographical mistakes (”Spiderman” instead of “Spider-Man”) to factual inconsistencies (referring to the fourth “Spider-Man” film as “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark,” the upcoming Broadway musical’s title) there’s some doubt as to the accuracy of the report — but if Spidey’s going international, it’s worth a look.
However, the article does cite Aprile Fulday (which sounds a bit too much like “April Fool’s Day”), a Marvel spokesperson, as saying, “We are delighted to be bringing one of our most celebrated comic and screen icons, [Spider-Man], to Dundalk, Ireland. Although we cannot discuss much at the present time, Mr. Raimi is certainly looking forward to featuring the DkIT wind turbine his latest film.”
Despite the inconsistencies in the Dundalk Democrat’s report, one thing we’re hoping proves true is Parker’s superheroic ascent of that enormous turbine — because that could make for a beautiful action sequence.
