Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire is in final negotiations to write Spider-Man 4 for Columbia Pictures. Naturally, plot details aren’t being revealed.

Lindsay-Abaire won a Pulitzer in 2007 for his Rabbit Hole. Starring Cynthia Nixon and Tyne Daly, the production opened on Broadway in 2006 and won four Tonys, including best play. He is currently writing the book and lyrics for the Broadway musical adaptation of Shrek. In terms of movies, Lindsay-Abaire adapted Inkheart which opens in January starring Brendan Fraser. He’s also adapting “Rabbit Hole” for Twentieth Century Fox with Nicole Kidman attached to star.

Both Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire will return for Spider-Man 4. Kirsten Dunst is also expected to return. The hope is to get the movie done in time for a May 2011 release.
