James Vanderbilt has been selected by Sony Pictures to pen the screenplay of Spiderman 4.It is said that Sony has chosen Vanderbilt for his character-driven approach to the story rather than a focus on special effects.
Vanderbilt's last movie, Zodiac, shows indeed such skills. Besides he is currently woking on Wolverine, and without any doubt, we can be sure that he's going to have a lot more experience of the comic-superheroe world.
It sounds like that Spiderman 4 plot will more emphasize its plot than the previous third installment of the Spiderman movie series.
