There is currently an eBay auction claiming to award the highest bidder with a set visit to Spider-Man 4, a one-hour meet-n-greet with the cast, a walk-on/extra role, a trip to the New York premiere (complete with designer outfits) and red carpet access. This auction was placed by Sony Pictures Entertainment and the profits from the auction will benefit the Stand Up To Cancer charity.

What does this tell us about Spider-Man 4? Absolutely nothing.

Sony most definitely doesn’t have a script that they are banking on, Sam Raimi hasn’t committed to coming back, and if Sam goes, a lot of the cast might go with him.

None of those potential pitfalls will stop Sony Pictures from making a 4th Spider-Man movie, even if they have to cast the thing with Neal Patrick Harris and Bruce Campbell alone. Especially after The Dark Knight proved that other comic book movies could out-perform the Spider-Man franchise. To most that would look like a once-in-a-lifetime film hitting the perfect combination of buzz, tone and a dead co-star giving his career-best performance, but you can bet that someone at Sony just sees it as a new benchmark.
