File:Spider-Man 4 The Lizard Directed By Sam Raimi Teaser Trailer

Description
A further request by Alex17hero and a follow up to my two previous Spider-Man 4 Trailers, this time featuring the Lizard as the villain.

Spider-Man 4 was the proposed sequel to Spider-Man 3. There were a number of different rumours and ideas for this film, including the Vulture, Carnage, a Venom spinoff, even an early suggestion of a Sinister Six film.

The Lizard was probably one of the most rumoured villains for this film, probably due to being teased in all three previous films. Sam Raimi even mentioned the possibility of Lizard in early interviews.

In the Spider-Man Trilogy, the Lizard's alter ego, Doctor Curtis Conners was played by Dylan Baker, an actor who, while he's never had a true leading role, frequently plays seemingly mild mannered men who have a hidden darkside. I feel, if given the chance, Baker could have been well suited for the Jekyll/Hyde role of the Lizard.

Spider-Man 4 was to be directed by Sam Raimi and see the return of the cast from the Spider-Man Trilogy. However, Raimi claimed he and Sony could not agree on a script for the film, and the company hired and fired four different script writers during pre-production. Raimi apparently learned something from Spider-Man 3, and claimed he only wanted to direct this film if he had a story worth telling. Sony wanted the film to be released in May 2011, but Raimi felt he could not produce a quality film in that space of time and tried to push for a 2012 release date.

Eventually Raimi decided he couldn't make the 2011 deadline and quit the project. Sony then initiated their backup plan and rebooted the franchise with the first Amazing Spider-Man film released in 2012. The same year that Raimi would have released Spider-Man 4. Because that makes sense.

This is my re-creation of the proposed film, using the proposed actors and imitating the style of the old Spider-Man films.
