At this week's ShoWest Kirsten Dunst talked up "Spider-Man 3" and the franchise's future.
"Sam [Raimi] has dedicated so much of his life, like more than ten years, to the 'Spider-Man' franchise with so much passion and love, the man is burnt out at this time...he needs a long vacation to put his creativity towards something else and then maybe we'll revisit it" says Dunst.
What about the possibility of the series continuing without Raimi? "Do they want to give Sam Raimi a heart attack? That's evil. Sorry, that's not happening any time soon. I would just say no for Sam's sake so that he can have a break. We would all do it together because Sam, Tobey and I are a team now, but there's no way it's going to happen very soon. I just can't imagine that. We don't have the story to tell right now".
