"Spider-Man" stars, director mum on fourth film

The stars and the director of "Spider-Man 3" gave no clear clues on Tuesday whether Sony's money-spinning superhero would return to the screen in a fourth adventure, but fans got a glimmer of hope from SNE - news).'s Columbia Pictures.Raimi said around 100 animators used new computer programs to portray the crumbling, morphing "Sandman," with staff spending much time and effort studying sand particles."When you get it under a microscope, it's actually made up of a million different things -- it's the most beautiful thing in the world, a grain of sand," he said. Maguire, asked how both he and Peter Parker (a.k.a. Spider-Man) had matured in the third movie, said his character now dealt with conflict and tragedy differently."I was very excited in Spider-Man 3 because I feel like we really get into some new territory for Peter Parker," said the 31-year-old actor, wearing a light grey suit with shirt and tie."In terms of growing up, I'm six or seven years older now. Peter Parker is, like, six months older."
