Head on over to Marvel and check out the new trailer for the Spectaular Spider-Man Animated Series.

Yep that’s right, there is apparently going to be a Spider-Man the music. Just as Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead was turned into a musical (which I heard was crazy-sweet), we will now be able to enjoy Spider-Man live onstage.

“As previously reported, Julie Taymor will direct the forthcoming musical version of the Marvel Comics hero with music provided by Bono and The Edge of the band U2. According to the notice, Glen Berger — playwright of Underneath The Lintel and The Wooden Breeks — will join Taymor on the book. (Neil Jordan — of “The Crying Game” fame — had previously been attached.) Taymor consistent collaborator Matthias “Teese” Gohl (”Across The Universe,” “Frida,” “Titus”) will serve as musical supervisor.”

At the end of a press conference for 30 Days of Night, Raimi was asked about his involvement in Spider-Man 4 and said that right now it’s not on his agenda, but he was supposed to meet with producer Laura Ziskin and Sony Pictures executives shortly to discuss Sam’s future with Spider-Man. I know I’m jumping around with Spider-Man news, but the site just launched so I have to catch up. If you know anything I missed please let me know.

“Ziskin has confirmed that there will be a fourth Spider-Man installment and she would like “everybody to be back.”"

Check out these drawings for the upcoming “Spectacular Spider-Man Cartoon”. I don’t know a whole lot about it, but since Spider-Man 4 news is slow right now I figured you guys would enjoy this.

Empire online had an article with Sam Raimi a week ago regarding his involvement with Spider-Man 4, but the article seems to be taken down or dead at the moment. Joblo had this excerpt from the article on his page, check it out.

“I want to help contribute to the production. I don’t know if I’ll just be a producer on it but if I can work with the writer in such a way so that directing would be right for me, I don’t know. We’ve had our first meeting on Spider-Man 4 and we’re looking for the writer.”
