Gary Ross has been hired to pen “Spider-Man 4”, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The “Seabiscuit” scribe takes over from James Vanderbilt (“Zodiac”) and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire; there have been up to four writers on the project.
The move also puts Ross back to work with Maguire, with whom he worked on his directorial vehicles “Pleasantville” and “Seabiscuit.” The two were also working on “Tokyo Suckerpunch,” a drama set up at Columbia; that project is now on hold as Ross tackles another writing project, Columbia’s Lance Armstrong biopic.
