Spider-Man 3 is a 2007 superhero film that is the third film in the Spider-Man film franchise based on the fictional Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. Sam Raimi, who directed the previous two Spider-Man films, returns to direct the third installment with a returning cast that includes Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, Rosemary Harris and J. K. Simmons. The film also stars franchise newcomers Topher Grace, Bryce Dallas Howard and Thomas Haden Church. Spider-Man 3 was commercially released in multiple countries on May 1, 2007. The film will be commercially released in the United States and Canada in both conventional and IMAX theaters on May 4, 2007.

Plot

Template:Spoiler After finally being able to find a balance between being Spider-Man, and spending time with Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst), Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) begins to feel secure in his life. However, he is soon attacked by a vengeful Harry Osborn (James Franco), who has powered himself up with Oscorp's "Human-Performance Enhancer" gas and becomes the New Goblin with hi-tech weaponry and a powerful surfboard-like glider Sky-Stick for the purpose of destroying Peter. A clash in New York City between the two former friends leaves Harry with short-term amnesia, and he no longer feels anger towards Peter.

One night, a tiny meteor crash-lands in a park where Peter and Mary Jane are on a date. Unknown to Peter, the meteor contains a black, alien symbiote, which hitches a ride home with Peter on his shoe, and eventually bonds with his Spider-Man costume at night, when he is asleep. After the bonding, Peter finds his costume has changed; it is now black in colour, and has augmented and enhanced his previous spider-powers.

Meanwhile, Captain George Stacy (James Cromwell) of the New York Police Department informs Peter and Aunt May (Rosemary Harris) that the man who was apprehended on the night of the shooting of Ben Parker (Cliff Robertson) was not his real killer; instead, an investigation revealed that he was merely an accomplice of Flint Marko (Thomas Haden Church), an escaped convict from Ryker's Island. The NYPD pursue Marko, and Marko accidentally falls into a physics particle accelerator filled with sand, which molecularly bonds to his body and turns him into the Sandman. Meanwhile, the black suit starts bringing out Spider-Man's more violent and vengeful side, and he seemingly kills Marko after a battle in a disused subway tunnel by turning Marko into mud (by flooding him with water) and allowing him to wash into the sewer system. The darker side of the suit begins to transform Peter's personality as well, causing him to expose a new photographer at the Daily Bugle, Eddie Brock, Jr. (Topher Grace), as a fraud, while stealing his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard). His behavior causes him to push Mary Jane away, and she finds solace in Harry Osborn. However, Harry soon recovers from his amnesia and lures Peter into his mansion to kill him. Peter defeats Harry and throws a pumpkin bomb back at him; the explosion scars Harry badly on one side of his face.

Peter tries to humiliate Mary Jane by openly dating Gwen Stacy in front of her. However, Peter accidentally assaults Mary Jane during a brief struggle at a jazz club. Completely ashamed of his recent actions, Peter goes to a church tower and rips the black suit off; as the symbiote is sensitive to noise, the ringing of the church bell agitates it and causes it to weaken. Coincidentally, a humiliated Brock goes to the same church and prays for God to smite Peter Parker, before overhearing the churchbell ringing. Entering the belltower to investigate, Eddie sees an unmasked Spider-Man, whom he's shocked to realize is Peter Parker. Some of the symbiote falls from the tower and lands on Brock, and upon sensing his hatred of Parker, it envelopes him wholly, forming Venom. Venom approaches the Sandman and claims that the two are united by a common desire to destroy Spider-Man and the latter agrees to help him.

Venom and Sandman kidnap Mary Jane and dangle her 80 stories above the New York streets at a construction site. Peter approaches Harry for help, saying he cannot fight both villains at once, but Harry refuses. Spider-Man arrives on the scene and is brutally beaten by the Sandman until Harry, who has just learned that his father did indeed die by his own hands, flies to Peter and Mary Jane's aid as the New Goblin. Peter rescues Mary Jane, and he and Harry battle Venom and the Sandman together. As the fight progresses, Venom grabs hold of Harry's glider and throws it at Peter; Harry jumps in front of Peter and the glider impales him instead.

Peter attempts to free Eddie of the black symbiote, clanging pipes together to weaken it. However, Eddie has grown too attached to the power the symbiote provides, and attempts to save the symbiote just as Peter throws a pumpkin bomb at it; Eddie dies in the explosion. However the symbiote does not die this way, instead it begins growing rapidly from the remains of Eddie's body. Here it begins forming around the construction site untill the hostless Venom creature attempts to re bond itself to Peter. Here Spider-Man kills it once and for all. Sandman tells Peter that he had no intention of killing Ben Parker that fateful night, but that it was an accident caused by fear and desperation. Peter forgives Flint, and the Sandman disappears. Harry does not survive his wounds and dies with Mary Jane and Peter by his side. Peter and Mary Jane revive their relationship, after attending their friend's funeral.

Cast and characters

Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee has a cameo in Spider-Man 3, as he did in the previous Spider-Man films.[2] Unlike his previous Spider-Man cameos, he has dialogue with Peter Parker in this film. Lee has referred to it as his "best cameo" in an interview.[3] Actor Bruce Campbell, who has had cameo roles as a wrestling ring announcer in Spider-Man and as a rude usher in Spider-Man 2, returns in Spider-Man 3 with a new cameo [4] as a French maître d'.[5] Director Sam Raimi has a cameo in Spider-Man 3 as a Navy admiral.[6] Producer Grant Curtis also has a cameo as the driver of an armored car that Sandman attacks.[7]

Production

In March 2004, with Spider-Man 2 being released the coming June, Marvel Studios had begun developing Spider-Man 3 for a release date of 2007.[8] By the release of Spider-Man 2, a release date for Spider-Man 3 had been set for May 2, 2007 before production on the sequel had begun.[9] The date was later changed to May 4. In January 2005, Sony Pictures Entertainment completed a seven-figure deal with screenwriter Alvin Sargent, who had penned Spider-Man 2, to work on Spider-Man 3 with an option to write a fourth film.[10]

Writing

The third film's story continued with the conflicts and the characters that had surfaced in previous films. Spider-Man 3 explores the corruption of hero and villain alike, with main characters becoming embroiled in scandals and emotional dramas.[11] Immediately after Spider-Man 2's release, Ivan Raimi wrote a treatment over two months, which was so complex that Sargeant considered cutting it into two films, before realizing he could not create a successful climax for the third film to lead onto the fourth. Sam Raimi decided to use the film to explore Peter learning that he is not a perfect avenger, and that there also can be humanity in those he considers criminals.[12] He took the opportunity to make M.J.'s life torturous, similar to Peter's various problems during the second film, grafting the symbiote onto Peter to do this. Maguire relished the opportunity to play a less timid Parker, and to add to this there was the presence of rival love interest Gwen Stacy, as portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard. Of the villains that were possible for the film, Ben Kingsley was involved in negotiations to play the Vulture before the character was cut.[13]

Sargent brought back Harry Osborn as a more formidable adversary for Spider-Man, with Raimi wanting to conclude Harry's storyline.[12] While Osborn had been depicted as taking up his father's Green Goblin mantle in most non-film stories, or the Ultimate Hobgoblin in the Ultimate Marvel comics continuity, Raimi had said at Comic-Con 2006 that Harry would be neither, but instead "somewhere between".[14] Raimi ultimately titled Harry Osborn the New Goblin, and named his glider the Sky Stick.[15] Actor James Franco, who portrays Harry in the film, described the character's villainy as realistic: "It's not just that he turns dark just because it's fun. He has very justifiable reasons for why he does what he does."[16]

Sandman was also added, a character which Tobey Maguire had expressed interest in as a future adversary for Spider-Man during press for Spider-Man 2.[17] While Sandman is a petty criminal in the comics, the screenwriters created a background of the character being Uncle Ben's killer in order to further Peter's guilt over his uncle's death,[18] as well as challenging Peter's simplistic perception of the event.[12] Thomas Haden Church knew Raimi as he had been approached for the director's film The Gift years before and was approached for Sandman because of his award-winning performance in Sideways:[19] Church accepted the role of Sandman despite the lack of a script at the time. The film's Sandman possesses sympathy similarly exhibited by Lon Chaney in his portrayals of misunderstood creatures, as well as Frankenstein's monster and the Golem.[20] Sandman was also influenced by the 2000s incarnations of sympathetic monsters Gollum and King Kong. Church described the attitude of Sandman, "Villains with a conscience have this sad realization of who they are, and the monster they've become — there's a sense of regret. So at the end of these movies there's a dramatic resonance that really stays with the audience."[11]

File:Eddie Brock AKA Venom.JPG
Topher Grace as Venom unmasked

Topher Grace was cast in May 2005[21] as Venom, a character whose perceived "lack of humanity" had initially been criticized by Sam Raimi.[22] Marvel Studios chairman and CEO Avi Arad convinced Raimi to include Venom, telling the director that he had a strong fan base, and the director grew to appreciate the result of the character because of Alvin Sargent's script treatment and the performance of Grace.[12] The film's version of the character was described as being based on an amalgamation of Venom stories. Eddie Brock, Junior, the human part of Venom, serves as a mirror to Peter Parker, with both characters having similar jobs and romantic interests, though Brock differs from Parker in having a bad childhood.[22] Brock's actions as a journalist in Spider-Man 3 also represent contemporary themes of paparazzi and tabloid journalism.[11]

Filming

The film's budget is officially $258 million, which makes it the most expensive film ever made in nominal U.S. dollars, breaking King Kong's budget record of $207 million. It would also be third, in adjusted dollars, to War and Peace's budget of $560 million.[23] Camera crews spent ten days between November 5, 2005, and November 18, 2005, to film sequences that would involve intense visual effects so Sony Pictures Imageworks could begin work on the shots early in the project. The same steps had been taken for Spider-Man 2 to begin producing visual effects early for sequences involving the villain Doctor Octopus.[24] Actors Topher Grace and Thomas Haden Church worked to improve their physiques. Grace gained 20 pounds of muscle,[25] and Church worked out for 16 months.[26]

Principal photography for Spider-Man 3 began on January 16, 2006 and wrapped in July 2006 after over a hundred days of filming. The team filmed in Los Angeles until May 19, 2006.[24] In spring 2006, film location manager Peter Martorano brought camera crews to Cleveland,[27] due to the Cleveland Film Commission offering production space at the city's convention center at no cost.[28] In Cleveland, they shot the battle between Spider-Man and Sandman in the armored car.[13] Afterward, the team moved to Manhattan, where filming commenced until July 1, 2006.[24] Shooting was tiring on Raimi, who often had to move between several units to complete the picture.[13] Shooting was also difficult for cinematographer Bill Pope, as Spider-Man, Venom and the New Goblin mostly wear black during fight scenes that take place at night.[29]

After August, pick-ups were conducted as Raimi sought to film more action scenes.[30] Bryce Dallas Howard performed many stunts, unaware of the fact she was pregnant.[13] The film then wrapped in October, although in the following month, additional special effects shots were taken to finalize the production.[31] At the start of 2007, there were further pick-up shots regarding the resolution of Sandman's story, amounting to four different versions.[20]

Effects

John Dykstra, who won the Academy Award for Visual Effects for his work on Spider-Man 2, declined to work on the third film as visual effects supervisor. Dykstra's colleague, Scott Stokdyk, took his place as supervisor.[32] Sony Pictures Imageworks designed specific computer programs that did not exist when Spider-Man 3 began production to help create performances and shots needed for the film. In addition to the innovative visual effects for the film, Stokdyk created a miniature of a skyscraper section at 1/16 scale with New Deal Studios' Ian Hunter and David Sanger. Stokdyk chose to design the miniature instead of using computer-generated imagery so damage done to the building could be portrayed realistically and timely without guesswork involving computer models.[33]

The creation of Sandman took three years. To understand the effects of sand for the character's creation, experiments were done with sand, such as splashing, launching at stuntmen, and pouring over ledges. The results were mimicked on the computer to create the visual effects for Sandman.[34] For scenes involving visual effects, Thomas Haden Church was super-imposed onto the screen, where computer-generated imagery was then applied.[19] With sand as a possible hazard in scenes that buried actors, ground-up corncobs were used as a substitute instead.[15] In a fight where Spider-Man punches through Sandman's chest, congenital amputee boxer Baxter Humby took Tobey Maguire's place in filming the scene. Humby, who was born without his right hand, helped deliver the intended effect of punching through Sandman's chest.[35]

The suit Topher Grace had to wear as Venom had a webbing motif unlike the comic incarnation. The motif was added by the film design department to give a sense of life to the symbiote, giving it the appearance of gripping onto the character's body.[36] Grace found his costume unpleasant, as it had to be constantly smeared to give a liquid-like feel. The costume took an hour to put on, though prosthetics took four hours to apply. Grace also wore fangs for his character, which bruised his gums.[37]

Music

Originally, Danny Elfman, the composer for the previous installments, did not plan to return for the third installment of Spider-Man because of difficulties with director Sam Raimi. Elfman said that he had a "miserable experience" working with Raimi on Spider-Man 2 and could not comfortably adapt his music.[38] Christopher Young was then announced to score Spider-Man 3 in Elfman's absence.[39] In December 2006, however, producer Grant Curtis announced that Elfman had begun collaborating with Christopher Young on the music for Spider-Man 3.[40] Young kept the themes for Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, and he composed new themes for Sandman, Venom, and the love story.[41]

Marketing

The first teaser trailer for Spider-Man 3 was released on the Internet on June 27, 2006.[42] The first full-length trailer premiered on November 9 on various channels and websites, with an exclusive high-definition version on iFilm, which became available after the premiere.[43] On March 3, 2007 a second theatrical trailer was shown at WonderCon in San Francisco, California,[44] which was attached to the film 300.[45] The final trailer debuted on March 23 2007 on a special website designed by Comcast for the movie.[46]

In New York City, the hometown of Spider-Man's fictional universe, tourist attractions arranged events and exhibits on April 30, 2007 to lead up to the release of Spider-Man 3. The unique campaign include a spider exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History, workshops on baby spider plants at the New York Botanical Garden, Green Goblin mask-making workshop at the Children's Museum of Manhattan, and a scavenger hunt and a bug show at Central Park Zoo.[47]

The multi-platform video game Spider-Man 3 will be released in May 2007 to coincide with the film's release.[48] Spider-Man 3: The Official Soundtrack was released on May 1 2007 and features songs by Snow Patrol, The Killers, and other bands.[49] A special edition of the soundtrack is also in the planning stages.[50]

Hasbro, which holds the license for Marvel characters, has released several toys to tie-in with the film. They include a deluxe spinning web blaster, along with 3 different action figures.[51][52] Toys of the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus from the first two films have been re-released, as have been toys of the Lizard, the Scorpion and the Rhino in a style reminiscent of the films.[53][54] Techno Source created interactive toys, including a "hand-held Battle Tronics device that straps to the inside of a player’s wrist and mimics Spidey’s web-slinging motions".[55] Sideshow Collectibles produced collectibles, which Medicom Toy Corporation distributed.[56]

Release

Spider-Man 3 had its world premiere in Tokyo on April 16, 2007,[57] which garnered positive reaction from Japanese viewers.[58] The film held its UK premiere on April 23 at the Odeon Leicester Square.[59] The U.S. premiere took place at the Tribeca Film Festival in Queens on April 30.[60]

Spider-Man 3 was commercially released in 16 territories on May 1, 2007.[61] The film was released especially in Japan on May 1, three days prior to the American commercial release, to coincide with Japan's Golden Week.[57] Spider-Man 3 will also be released in China on May 3 to circumvent market growth of pirated copies of the film. The studio's release of a film in China before its domestic release will be a first for Sony Pictures Releasing International.[62] The film will be commercially released in the United States on May 4 in a North American record total of 4,253 theaters,[63] including 53 IMAX theaters.[64] Tracking data a month before the U.S. release reflected over 90% awareness and over 20% first choice among moviegoers, statistics that estimate an opening weekend of over $100 million for Spider-Man 3.[65] Online tickets for Spider-Man 3 were reported on April 23 to have been purchased at a faster rate -- three times at Movietickets.com and four times at Fandango -- than online ticket sales for Spider-Man 2.[66] On May 2, Fandango reported the sales rate as six times greater than the rate for Spider-Man 2. The strong ticket sales have caused theaters to add 3:00 AM showings following the May 4 midnight showing to accommodate the demand.[67]

By May 6, 2007, Spider-Man 3 will have opened in 107 countries around the world.[61]

Box office performance

On its international opening day on May 1, 2007 in 16 territories, Spider-Man 3 grossed $29.2 million, a 86% increase from the intake of Spider-Man 2 on its first day of release. In 10 of the 16 territories, Spider-Man 3 set new opening day records.[61] In Asian territories, the film surpassed the opening-day record of Spider-Man 2 in Japan and South Korea. Spider-Man 3 also set opening-day records in Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and the Philippines.[63] In Europe, the film broke Italy's opening-day record, surpassing The Da Vinci Code (2006).[68] In Germany, the superhero film surpassed the success of Spider-Man 2. In France, Spider-Man 3 broke the opening day record previously set by Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.[69]

Critical reaction

As of May 2, 2007 on the movie review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, Spider-Man 3 has a rating of 71% from 62 reviews, with a 56% Cream of the Crop rating based on 17 reviews from major news outlets.[70] On Metacritic, Spider-Man 3 has received a 61% rating based on 18 reviews.[71] Empire's film critic Chris Hewitt found the film satisfactory, feeling Maguire and Franco did well in their roles, though he criticized the decision to have so many villains.[72]
