Is Maguire being Bought off?

This info comes to us from the revered Obsessed With Film:

It is reported that Maguire is set to earn a record $50 million dollars for the back-to-back shooting next summer over 6 months. What makes this deal even more unique is that Maguire is only expected to be working HALF DAYS! I wish I could work half days for 50 dollars, let alone the quarter of a million Tobey Maguire will earn every day (unless I’ve done my maths wrong, which is quite probable).

Is it just me or is the studio so desperate to make more money that they had to bribe Tobey back to swing the web of Spider-Man. Here's what we all need to understand, He's an actor and actors need money to live. (well ok, we all need money to live.) But if he doesn't want to do anymore Spider-Man movies then He shouldn't have to.

I did enjoy Tobey as Spidey but now I think they should hand the spider powers over to someone else, someone without an annoying lisp. I can believe him when he's playing Peter Parker but I just can't take him seriously as Spider-Man. Way to much emotion and not enough smart ass humor.

Toby must have a good agent to pull that one off. 50 million? Just for the actor? That's ridiculous! Entire movies are made with a lesser budget than that
