As previously reported, Zodiac screenwriter James Vanderbilt has been hired to work on the script for Spider-Man 4. And the writer can't wait to get started.

"I really loved the films," Vanderbilt recently said on BlogTalkRadio.com's Movie Geeks United program. "It's sort of an odd process because you're sitting down with people who made the first three and going, 'Well, let me tell you what to do,' which is always odd."

The writer added: "But I was lucky enough that they were interested in me and I'm a huge fan of those movies, so we closed that up right before the strike. And once the strike's over, I get to go to work."

No release date has been set yet for Spider-Man 4. We'll keep you posted.
