Raimi possibly leaving "Spider-Man" franchise!
The Director may possibly be leaving the hit Comic Book based movie franchise.
Kirsten Dunst says she hadn't heard any rumors about Raimi and "The Hobbit" until Entertainment Weekly raised the subject in an interview. She says she can't imagine returning for Part 4 without both her director and her co-star: ''It's disrespectful to the whole team, I think, to do that. And audiences aren't stupid. It'd be a big flop without me, Tobey, or Sam. That would really not be the smartest move. But they know that already. [Sony chief] Amy Pascal would never do that.''
Tobey Maguire has already expressed his positive feelings about returning for another sequel.
Sony's President of Production Matt Tolmach told Entertainment Weekly that the studio is cautiously optimistic about retaining the team that launched the Spidey franchise so spectacularly: ''Listen, we're making Spider-Man 4. Our hope, dream, and intention is to do it with Sam. But I don't have a crystal ball.''
