Raimi: I want new 'Spider-Man' vision
Sam Raimi has revealed that he is looking for a new writer to bring a fresh take to the Spider-Man franchise.

Raimi, who directed the first three instalments of the superhero series, claims that he doesn't want to write the fourth film because he wants somebody else's perspective on how the character should develop.

He told MTV: "Right now, a writer is being sought to write the next instalment. We're in the very early stages. I won't be working on the story. It'll be a brand new writer coming in with a brand new story - a fresh take on the Spider-Man series.

"We're hearing different versions right now and really enjoying the different stories. Hopefully, we'll hear one that sounds right for the fourth instalment.

"Yes, that's right. In this case, it's more in the writer's hands. I'm going to let the writer envision where Peter Parker would go to next."
