Spider-Man 4 and 5 to be Filmed Together?

Spider-franchise might see double with Zodiac screenwriter

Cinematical is boasting quite the scoop today, reporting that one of their industry insiders confirmed that Zodiac writer James Vanderbilt has turned in a script for Spider-Man 4 that will stretch over multiple films. Negotiations regarding the script are still going on, so there's no certainty that Vanderbilt's two-part story arc will end up on the big screen.

From Cinematical:

... according to our source, "his story arc has encompassed two films, making Spider-Man 5 shootable at the same time. The studio saw dollar signs and is in the process of reworking his deal to snatch up the story arc."

Sure, everyone's happy now... but wait until they hear the working titles for the films: Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day and Spider-Man 5: The Clone Saga.

*sigh*

I'm sorry; as far as i'm concerned, i knew the Spider-Man films were building up to jumping a Carcharodon megaladon as soon as i began hearing that they were seriously considering Venom as the Big Bad for Spidey 3.

Compared to Venom, i find the Clone Saga just sort of silly but inoffensive.
