Wasting no time following Nikki Finke's DeadlineHollywood.com report that production delays would make Sony's scheduled premiere of Spider-Man 4 unlikely on May 6, 2011, Paramount jumped on the date to release its own Marvel superhero movie, Thor, Daily Variety reported today (Thursday). The film had been scheduled to debut on May 20. On the heels of Paramount's move, Disney nabbed the May 20 date for the premiere of its Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. All of which could result in a musical-chairs-like scramble, since Sony has still not officially given up the May 6 release date for Spider-Man 4. Meanwhile, Movieline.com has published what it says are "leaked" script notes between Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Spider-Man director Sam Raimi in which Pascal describes the screenplay as an "utter mess" and goes on to add, "Looks like we might have to junk the whole thing." (It's not clear whether she's referring to the script or the movie.) Many of the notes seem so over-the-top absurd that the entire "leak" might well be considered a hoax. For example: "PG-13! PG-13! No nudity! Where is this coming from? And full-frontal? Maguire has total nevernude rider, he's not even working out this time (he's really porked up since starving himself for Brothers). ... Definitely definitely no d*ck. CAA [Maguire's talent agency] will f****** kill me if they even ever see this page. TEAR OUT AND BURN."
