Movies Getting Rewrites

Two movies are getting new drafts of their scripts. "Spider-Man 4" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea."

According to Variety, Gary Ross has been hired to pen a new draft of “Spider-Man 4.” The deal reunites Ross with series lead Tobey Maguire, who he directed previously in “Seabiscuit” and "Pleasantville."

The most troubling part of this news is likely to be that any official announcement of the new “Spider-Man” villains is probably further away than we’d hoped.

Ross has worked with Maguire before, but does that make him the best writer for the next "Spider-Man" film?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Disney has hired Randall Wallace to rework the screenplay for its upcoming remake of the 1954 classic "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," based on the Jules Verne novel. Wallace will rework the existing script by Bill Marsilii and Justin Marks, which tells the origin of Captain Nemo and his warship the Nautilus.

Wallace wrote, produced and directed "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "We Were Soldiers." He was also the writer on "Braveheart" and "Pearl Harbour."

Can these rewrites make these movies work? We'll have to wait and see.
