“The Amazing Spider-Man” has not finished shooting yet, but Columbia Pictures has begun working on the sequel. The Hollywood Reporter reports the studio has hired James Vanderbilt to write the script for the upcoming installment of the web-slinger after the studio execs gave a thumbs up for his take.
Vanderbilt has written for “The Amazing Spider-Man” which is currently in production under the direction of Marc Webb. He was previously tapped to work on “Spider-Man 4” when Sam Raimi was still expected to continue the series for Columbia with Tobey Maguire in the the superhero role, before the project collapsed.
