The latest  news that ‘Spiderman director Mark Webb is consulting with Cameron himself on how best to use 3-D.

Just a month ago,  ‘Spider-Man 4′ was going to be a conventional sequel, with director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maquire  still attached, and that Raimi, inspired by ‘Avatar,’ wanted to make a film with unusually elaborate — but not 3-D — special effects.

You may also recall that Sony abruptly scrapped this story idea as too expensive and time-consuming, parted ways with its expensive director and star and hired the bargain-priced  Webb who agreed to make the new movie in 3-D.

Both Raimi and the studio wants the next Spidey to be more like ‘Avatar’ but they didn’t agree on what that meant. To Raimi, it meant extra spectacle for the audience. To Sony, it meant the audience should pay extra to wear spectacles.
