The latest Spider-Man movie is "in turmoil", a new report claims.
Production on Sam Raimi's blockbuster has been put on hiatus over Christmas while filmmakers attempt to complete a shooting script, according to Indiewire's Thompson on Hollywood.
Regular franchise producer Laura Ziskin has allegedly taken a backseat for the latest film, titled Spider-M4n, leaving Todd Black (The Taking Of Pelham 123) to deal with demands from Sony, Marvel and director Raimi.
The new Spider-Man script has passed through the hands of James Vanderbilt, David Lindsay-Abaire and Gary Ross. Raimi is keen to dictate the choice of storyline and villain for the superhero's fourth outing.
Filming on Spider-Man 4 is still expected to begin early next year to make the May 5, 2011 release date. Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst will reprise their roles as couple Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.
