Spiderman Director Sam Raimi was interviewed by the Coventry Telegraph and was asked about Spider-Man 4.

Raimi was asked about the complaints that there were too many villains in Spider-Man 3, and he agreed saying “I think having so many villains detracted from the experience. I would agree with the criticism.” He went on to say:

“I think I’ve learned about the importance of getting to the point and the importance of having limitations, and I’m hoping to take that into a production where I’m actually allowed to explore with more of the tools to pull it off with a little more splendour.

“I hope I don’t lose that edge that I’ve just found. That would be my approach to Spider-Man 4: to get back to the basics.”

It’s good to see Raimi has learned from his mistakes and is willing to correct them. In the interview he also mentions how much he enjoyed working on Drag Me To Hell. This isn’t the first time he’s said this in an interview. It’s almost as if working on that film rejuvenated him and gave him some ideas for the Spiderman franchise.
