Dear friends,
Hope you are well.
I wanted to answer a couple questions in my web log that consistently came up in the comments. First of all, unfortunately the Comic-Con piece was one specifically made for that forum and will not been shown again. It was a very crude, albeit exciting, piece with temp sound and temp visual effect shots. We were hesitant to show the segment due to its unfinished nature, but considering that our release date is over eight months away, everything associated with the film is temp at this time. However, we sincerely believed that the fans at Comic-Con deserved to see our progress at that time and therefore we were happy to give them a sneak peak.
In regard to the next time you will get a glimpse of the movie, please know that we will have a trailer coming out this fall. Although I am not at liberty to say when exactly it will hit the theaters and internet at this time, I can tell you that I have seen a rough version of it and I am confident that you are going to be blown away. It is an incredible piece that showcases the full scope of the picture, both in terms of the gripping story as well as the groundbreaking visual effect shots. Be patient, it's going to be worth the wait.
I am writing you this week as I sit with VFX coordinator Mayumi Arakaki, VFX producers Terry Clotiaux and Josh Jaggers, animation director Spencer Cook, visual effects editors Jody Fedele and Rolf Fleischman, editor Bob Murawski, digital VFX supervisor Peter Nofz, director Sam Raimi, VFX supervisor Scott Stokdyk, and producer Laura Ziskin in what will end up being a 2 hour plus meeting. This meeting is one that we have had daily since we wrapped and will continue to do so until the film is delivered. Essentially, the team at Sony Pictures Imageworks shows us, Sam and Bob specifically, the shots that have been turned over which they are working on in order to receive feedback. Turnovers are shots in the movie which require VFX work. Sometimes they are shots that have elements which we filmed in camera during principle photography into which SPI is adding an element, and sometimes they are shots that are entirely CGI.
So, let's have a quick sidebar as I answer a question that may have popped into your head, "How do you turnover shots which are all CG?" Good question. Basically, all scenes start out as storyboards. After a VFX intensive scene is storyboarded, it is turned into an animatic which, all though a crude definition, can be defined as making a cartoon of the storyboards. Next, the animatic is turned into a pre-visualization, or pre-viz for short. During this process, the real world geography of the actual sets/locations are modeled and inserted into the shots as are models of the actors doing the action in the animatic. All of the above is accomplished via the direction of Sam, and at the end of the process you have a representation of what would happen if these shot were achievable in camera. It is SPI's latest iterations of these turned over shots that we review on a daily basis until Sam deems them finaled and ready to be cut into the final version of the film.
Since I started off with some not so great news concerning the Comic-Con piece, let me conclude with something I hope you will enjoy -- a "Spider-Man 2" trivia quiz. Better break out that "Spider-Man 2" DVD. Answer the questions to the best of your ability and submit them to me at
spideyfeedback@sonypictures.com. Who knows, maybe there is something cool in store for you. Here are the questions.
Cheers,
Grant Curtis
- What is the name of the rare element that fuels Doc Ock's fusion machine?
- Name the member of the filmmaking team who played the priest that almost married MJ Watson and John Jameson.
- What is Peter's license plate number on his scooter?
- At what scene in the film do we see the words "Tempus Fugit" on a piece of set dressing?
- Who says the line, "chin up, ok?"
- Who is Henry Jackson?
- How many passengers does Doc Ock throw from the train?
- What is the destination of the elevated train that Doc Ock hijacks?
- According to the Daily Bugle, how much has crime increased since Spider-Man disappeared?
- What is the number of the Pier in which Doc Ock creates his new lab?
In a way I'm happy with not showing the comic con trailer. But then again I'm not at same time. oh and did anyone else see the wallpapper 4 coming soon?

Thanks for clearin up the comic con footage. I would like to have saw it but then again I'm glad I'm not as Venom would look all the more sweeter when i see him for the 1st time on the big screen. Please don't do a Superman on us and show all the best bits in the new trailer just have a quick glimpse of Venom. I wanna be wowed when i see him 1st time in I-max.
Oh and to Cameron, yeah that wallpaper 4 has been there 4 a while now. I'm guessin it's either venom or Harry.
#14 | Posted by: T.J Logan | August 24, 2006 6:18 PM
I can understand that the comic-con vid is an exclusive, and i can't wait for any future info, pics, or vids of Spider-Man 3.
Can't Wait.

Hello Mr Curtis, thanks a lot for clearing that up. I appreciate that. So is the next trailer going to be a completely different one?nothing to do with the trailer shown at Comic-Con? I hope they don´t show a lot of Venom stuff, and keep that as a secret for the movie. I wonder when we can see the next wallpaper.
Thank's a lot Mr Curtis, and sorry about my English, I'm a spanish guy.Keep up the good work.

Venom better look good. That's all I have to say. Oh wait I got one more question, which version of Venom will we see?
#43 | Posted by: Asteroid-Man | August 26, 2006 8:30 AM
one question... will we see venom in the fall trailer like at least his face? and how bout the question of the hobgoblin? is he there in the trailer or not?
#44 | Posted by: stk393 | August 26, 2006 8:55 AM
i agree with asteroid man. venom better be good and sand man better be impressive.
the black suit looks good though,
#45 | Posted by: AJ | August 26, 2006 10:57 AM
Mr. Curtis, Thank you for taking the time to respond to us fans on such a schedule of yours. SM3 is the ONLY thing on my mind right now. When will we get to see Venom? in the next trailer I hope? Say hi to Sam and Tobey for me. There great guys and I would really appreciate it if you did that for me. Cheers to filming, Jake
#46 | Posted by: Jake | August 26, 2006 12:36 PM
Hey guys! I'm a fan of Spider-Man, and when i say I'm a fan, I mean a fan that wishes he could be even though you can't. Any way, I can not WAIT to see Spider-Man 3. I hear it will/is going to be AWSOME.
#47 | Posted by: Drew | August 26, 2006 1:16 PM
Can the wallpaper be a sweet pic of The Sandman in action please?
#48 | Posted by: Brett | August 26, 2006 2:54 PM
Wow. Curtis actually replies to your comment. That is awesome. Well anyways, can't wait for the trailer and can't wait for Spider-Man 3. It will be so awesome...
#49 | Posted by: GreenieGobbie | August 26, 2006 3:57 PM
Dear Mr. Curtis, thank you so much for having another contest! I'm stumped on the wedding question, but I'll try it.
Will Alfred Molina be back in any scene? I heard that his stunt man is in the movie. I didn't see a response to this question, maybe i''ve missed it, I was out of town.
I hope you can say something about it though.
Thanks for making Spiderman 2 better.
I love how the langauge wasn't as bad in the second as in the first. I enjoy 'cleaner' movies than what's out for PG-13 now.
#50 | Posted by: Webrina | August 26, 2006 5:10 PM
That was a nice little quiz. I have seen both Spider-Man 1 and 2 so many times I dream them out in my sleep. I had to go back to the DVD to check out 2 or 3 questions, submitted them in, and then went back to watch the entire film. I have posted so much these past years on blogs ranting and raving about how great Spider-Man is, and voiced my predictions for the second; and the same thing happend with this third one. I'm ranting and raving about my excitement (as is every fan) for this one. I never posted on the offical blogs in the past, with this one I thought, what the heck...why not? The craziest thing of it is, its not that the fans are necessarily "Spider-Man" fans, they are just general fans of the films. I have always loved Spidey, but every since I saw the first film, I have been a die-hard addict. I have come to love Spider-Man even more than when I was a little tike. It's not because they are good Spider-Man films, its because they are just damn good films! I can honestly say I do not know one person who disagrees with that, not a one, well there are people who haven't seen it because they just don't like Spider-Man; but too bad for them, they are the ones who are missing out. At any rate, every fan has full faith in this film and there is no reason it shouldn't knock them out of their seats in the theaters. Especially since the first two did, I still have a busted jaw from seeing the second. People would ask me, "What happened to your face man?" and I would say,
"I saw Spider-Man 2."
"Wow, its that good, huh!?"
"Oh yeah!"
The biggest aspect i'm looking forward to seeing is whats in store for the characters we have come to know and love, and how their development will entail the outcome of the story. The darker look and feel the story appears to have is nothing short of excellent. We all know Raimi already has many films under his belt including The Evil Dead trilogy, and now he will have the Spider-Man trilogy...i'm jealous :) I'm not trying to be a kiss-up, I'm just a crazed fanatic. May is just around the corner, fans all over the web are posting there thoughts on this film, and now I just left you with mine. Love the blog so far Mr. Curtis, I know you'll keep up the good work. I want to thank you Mr. Curtis, Sam Raimi, and the film crew for bringing fans a good quality story to the screen, something most other filmmakers fail to do. This blog has been a neat chance for fans to voice their feelings to the you the filmmakers. So once again, Thank You.

#53 | Posted by: Sina | August 27, 2006 1:49 AM
Hello Everyone !
Just like U, my sister Anaëlle and I are waiting for SPIDERMAN 3. We can't look forward !!
But the fact is that I red in many reviews that their might have more than three malicious in this film.(VENOM, Harry, and an other I don't remember his name !)
My sister is 10 and I hope this movie isn't going to be too frighten as well as that. We love Spiderman we've already seen 100 or 150 times spiderman 1 and 2 ! And when I see the trailer, I'm askin' myself a question : Is Parker will have a double life with M.J ?? I don't understand anything because in fact I don't know ANYTHING about Spiderman's Comics and thanks to S.Raimi I've discovered this fabulous hero.
I just wanna have an answer. If you could say helo to Tobey (hey hey !! lol) it would be great !
Sorry for my english but I'm french I try to do my best !
Bye ;)

Man, I'm Almost More Geeked To See The New Trailer And Wallpaper More Then The Movie!!! Can't Wait To See A Picture Of Venom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#56 | Posted by: Nino Stucki | August 27, 2006 2:37 PM
To Diana & Anaelle;
I really hope its more dark and scary. If they dont make it dark and scary then venom isnt going to show his true colors. If you would read some comics with venom (read the old ones because newer ones he isnt as mean >.>) he was never really nice to anyone when he first came. He was always wanting to eat their brains and stuff.
#57 | Posted by: Cameron | August 27, 2006 3:36 PM
i think that the movie will come out great, but i also think that there are to many charectors in the story line at once. you have harry Osborn as the green goblin the symbiat taking over peter parker, and also the main bad guy sand man. not to mention thinks just got serious betwen peter and MJ. I do think that the movie will do pritty good overal.
#58 | Posted by: jo jo the hobo | August 27, 2006 4:04 PM

Thank you so much for creating this web blog! You guys are awesome and I am so glad you care enough to make sure that everyone gets the updated info on the upcoming movie!

Could you guys create large wallpapers (1680/1050) for Spyderman 3???
#67 | Posted by: Macsilva | August 28, 2006 1:42 PM
Thank you Mr. Curtis. Question. Can you talk about what's going on with the re-shoots? It was reported on super hero hype that James Franco mentioned that there would be re-shoots next month. The rumors are spreading like wildfire at the IMDB boards. Some people think the re-shoots are in response to negative test screenings, and that it called for more action. We really don't know for sure. Can you help us get the facts straight?
#68 | Posted by: Stephanie | August 28, 2006 2:52 PM

#70 | Posted by: kong235 | August 29, 2006 11:10 AM
so...what will venom look like I wonder...? Is the design for venom based on drawings from any particular artist?
#71 | Posted by: Levi Prewitt | August 29, 2006 11:43 AM
Hey! cant wait til spidey 3 comes out! im counting down the days! all the villians sound good, especially the new green goblin, at least he wont look as camp and power-rangerey as before! only recently found out that bryce dallas howard is in it and will be the new love interest for peter. is this true? how could he do that to MJ? is it venoms influence? it also looks like MJ will have an affair with Harry. is this true? i have so many questions!
p.s loving james franco!
#72 | Posted by: Kerri Johnston | August 29, 2006 1:34 PM
thanks for the answer Cameron. Yeah of couse, it MUST be dark and scary !!
I have an other question; In France the movie release on May the 2nd. (Why by the way ??) I want to know if you know when the "avant première" (I don't know how to say that in English) will be.
For the 2nd Spiderman I knew it but now...
Thanks a LOT

#76 | Posted by: heather a.k.a. gwen stacy | August 29, 2006 9:31 PM
Thanks for letting us in on that bit of info 'bout the new trailer. I really hope it comes out soon 'cause I've watched the teaser over and over again, day by day (It never gets old though, I mean never). Due to all of the speculation I've found online, I can't even imagine what the final version of the film will actually be like, but so far, I'm expecting a lot more than the previous spider-man films, especially since this could be the last of the franchize( I'm not just interested in the action and effects, but the story and other mind blowing plot lines that may come in the movie as well). And if this next trailer is as great as u say it is, I definately have something big to look foward to later this fall. Please release it soon, as well as wallpaper 4. Tell Sam Raimi I said Sup, iight? U and him r da bomb man. Spidey rules! Peace out!!!
#77 | Posted by: Benji | August 29, 2006 9:35 PM

#85 | Posted by: James | August 31, 2006 2:06 PM
The teaser for SM3 was awesome and for the theatrical don't show too much of venom, who happens to be the best comic book villian of all time! For trivia I got all but number 4. Oh yeah when is wallpaper 4 due and what does it look like?
#86 | Posted by: 90125 | August 31, 2006 3:04 PM

Spider-Man 3 sounds pretty cool. I can't wait until it comes out. When I was in 4th grade,the boys in my class were talking about the next movie for Spider-Man. I didn't know if they were right,but they were.Spider-Man 3's coming out at the end of 6th grade.Sounds like a great movie.

Thisn movie is gonna be sweet. I can't wait to see the pretty ladies, Kirsten and Elizibeth, I think they're my favorite part of the story, and very nice to look at.

I've been looking for an avenue to express my admiration for this movie franchise, and may-be this is a good one.
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Spider-Man 1. But I was completely unprepared for how much I LOVED Spider-Man 2! It literally rocked my world.
Spider-Man 2 thrilled my whole family... from my 7-year old niece to my 72-year old dad. I myself saw it 9 times at the IMAX... I'd NEVER seen a movie more than twice at a theatre before that!
My fascination with the character came as a surprise to me because, I’m no kid. I'm a professional woman... who is now a total Spidey FAN! How crazy is that?!
Shortly after seeing SM2, I got a few comics for my niece and nephew. They were mildly interested, but I was totally hooked. Who knew... a continuing Spidey "soap opera" with great art! He’s also a character I can relate to… with his struggle to identify and live up to his “great responsibility.” There's a love story (he's married to Mary Jane) and let's admit it, his many endearing qualities make him look all the more delicious in tights! In the past 2 years I’ve read almost all 40 years of Amazing Spider-Man, along with other old titles and the current ones. Collecting and studying Spider-Man is now a hobby of mine.
Of course, I am very excited about SM3. It sounds like the new story is going to be very compelling… but I do worry a little about the “darkness” and what will happen to Peter and Mary Jane. He can go through hell and back, as long as the ending is as exhilarating and uplifting as SM2. I don’t think my heart can take another poignant cliffhanger (SM1) or something depressing. But I trust Sam, and keep you all in my prayers… talk about responsibility… on so many levels this is HUGE.
Look forward to more updates and I’ll be one of the first in line come May!

I can't wait for the third movie to come out! I thought the first two were great and I love the comic books!
#92 | Posted by: Evan | September 1, 2006 12:46 PM

#93 | Posted by: stephen | September 1, 2006 9:31 PM
i really am looking forward to the up coming movie...i'm a spiderman avid fan!!!
#94 | Posted by: alfred maurice azcuna | September 1, 2006 11:29 PM
I've always been a big fan of spiderman... never got round to reading the comics cos i was too lazy to read anything when i was younger, so i feasted mainly on the cartoons....
*PS when would we get to see madamme web??? is she in SM3?
#95 | Posted by: Cypher | September 2, 2006 3:21 PM
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cool. when can we see the new GREEN GOBLIN ?
#96 | Posted by: Robert | September 3, 2006 1:55 AM
Hey guys! went to the cinema yesterday and the spiderman trailer came on! i got sooo excited! i hope it will be as good as 1 & 2 put together, and they were awesome! peace out fellow spidey fans!
#97 | Posted by: Kerri Johnston | September 3, 2006 12:32 PM
Wow, Spidey 3, eh? If it tops the last two then it is guarenteed to blow me away.
I always thought it would be funny to see some Marvel references in the super hero movies. Like to catch a glimpse of the Fantastic 4 tower as Spidey is swinging by or during one of the X-Men movies to see a mysterious figure swing quickly by in the background. Things like that, things that maybe not everybody will catch on the first viewing of the movie and then later on will go, "Holy crap, did you just see what I think I did?"

#106 | Posted by: Drish | September 6, 2006 5:50 PM
Wow! Look at this, you know i sent an eMail to sony pictures a LONG time ago before spiderman 2 even came out, and i told them: "In spiderman 2 if you dont put venom I'm going to be MAD!" or something like that, and I was dissapointed when Venom didn't show up... And then for a long time i waited for any sign of spiderman 3, and it never came! But now i got the sign, far after my giving up point, and I'm very glad to see that venom is finally going to appear! I still am very eager to see what venom will look like in the movie... I want a shot of him...

It's confirmed that the next trailer will come out with Casino Royale on Nov. 17th. A theatrical trailer I hope? It could come out a day before since the teaser trailer came out a day before Superman Returns.

#157 | Posted by: sam cherry | November 5, 2006 12:15 PM
Hey Mr.Raimi,
Maaaan the spiderman 3 looks so cool.I saw the 1st one and thought it was amazing,and spiderman 2 was even better with the very loud theater like quality.I mean it was intense.I even bought the 2 on widescreen special edition dvd,and still watch them over and over.
I thought william dafoe portrayed the goblin so well showed us the evil mind games and people he`s hurt in spidey`s life from the comicbooks onto the big screen.
Alfred Molina did a fantastic job as Doc Ock and all of the years I had watched the animated 90`s series,I pondered what doc ock would be like on the big screen.
The 90`s show was fantastic,and am glad you made me become more of a spidey fan.I mean adding the realistic touches to the birth of gobby and ock were very creative.
I liked the more realistic approach then the more imaginitive comicbook versions of the accidents that made them gobby and ock.
I even read the sunday paper spidey comicbooks too,and I even got the 1st issue in the ultimate spiderman blockbuster giftpack.
Anyways thanks for making my marvel movie experiences more enjoyable and I can`t wait for spiderman 3.
