Gary Ross has been tapped to rewrite the in-development script for “Spider-Man 4″, which brings him back together with Tobey Maguire, who starred in the Ross-directed “Seabiscuit”.

Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios are hoping to put the film into production early next year, which Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell) will once again direct, based on the characters by Stan Lee (Silver Surfer, Iron Man) and starring Kirsten Dunst (All Good Things) and Tobey Maguire (The Crusaders, Spider-Man 3). The first “Spider-Man 4″ script was originally by James Vanderbilt, and then rewritten by David Lindsay-Abaire before Ross was just announced.
