The Cabin in the Woods director to helm Spider-Man spin-off
The Cabin In The Woods director Drew Goddard is nearing a deal to helm Spider-Man spin-off film The Sinister Six.
Goddard, who is also writing the script, is in negotiations to direct the film, according to Variety.com.
Last year (13), producers behind the Spider-Man film franchise
announced they are planning a number of spin-off movies, including
The Sinister Six, an ensemble piece featuring a group of the
superhero's arch-enemies, and another film focusing on Venom, who
was played by Topher Grace in 2007's Spider-Man 3.
Goddard is part of a so-called "franchise brain trust" which
includes The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb, two producers
and four other writers, who will collaborate on making the spin-off
films' storylines cohesive.
