Kirsten Dunst In “Spider-Man 4″?

Kirsten Dunst has revealed that she intends to return to the role of Mary Jane Watson in “Spider-Man 4.”

Both director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire are “in” for the fourth and fifth installments in the “Spider-Man” franchise. So, Kirsten Dunst does, too.

“I’m in,” she confirmed. “I’m not saying anything, I know there’s rumours…”

The actress, whose new film “How To Lose Friends And Alienate People” is released on Friday, spoke to MTV about her future in the franchise.

It is no surprise that Sony would want Dunst to return, since all the major players are coming back. In fact, Sony has previously mentioned that they would do everything they can to make sure she is Mary Jane in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4″ and “Spider-Man 5.”

The script for the film was written by Jamie Vanderbilt, and so far the studio is being tight-lipped about the villain and who might play the character.

“Spider-Man 4″ is scheduled for an April 30, 2011 release.

Tom Cruise and Sem Raimi Team Up for “Sleeper”

Tom Cruise Is a Sleeper ?

Tom Cruise and Sam Raimi will team up for a movie adaptation of the comic book “Sleeper“, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Even if Cruise opts not to do Sleeper, his interest in the project is propelling it forward, despite complicated rights issues that must be sorted out. Raimi has long been a fan of the book, and the project could have found homes at Sony and Regency if those issues hadn’t been so complex.

Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, Sleeper, which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.

Sleeper is the third project that Cruise has become associated with over the past two weeks –all three separate from his commitments at UA. In addition to “The Tourist“, the actor has expressed interest in the Working Title-Universal comedy “Food Fight.”
