It’s still another year before the cameras start rolling on Spider-Man 4, however director Sam Raimi is already thinking about filming locations and how to make his (possible) $170 million+ budget go just that bit further.

Raimi is slated to begin production on Spider-Man 4 in 2010, in fact and, he said, envisions shooting some of that movie in Michigan.
“I’ll be looking at Michigan for our second-unit photography on the new Spider-Man film,” he confirmed.
The extensive infrastructure needed to crank out megabudget productions like the three “Spider-Man” movies he already has made has, for the most part, kept him in Hollywood, Raimi pointed out.
Producers are always looking at the bottom line, and if they can get the same looking stuff somewhere else cheaper, they’re going to shoot there,” Rumble said.
Such was the case with Spider-Man 3.
“It was cheaper to shoot in Ohio because the streets we were shooting on had storefronts that looked a little bit more like New York than Detroit did,” Raimi explained. “But if the incentives Michigan has now had been in place, we would have had the money to adapt a set in Detroit.”
