« Face of the Fan Says Goodbye
Thank You
June 26, 2007

Dear Friends,

I assume by now that you have seen "Spider-Man 3." It is my sincerest desire that you enjoyed the film as much as we enjoyed making it. Hopefully, via this website, you gained a unique insight into the process through which the movie was made, while obtaining an education on filmmaking as a whole.

I want to take a moment to thank you for reading my posts over the years and for watching the webisodes. Just as it has been my honor to carry a very small portion of the Spider-Man torch that has been passed down through the generations since Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created the franchise over 40 years ago, it has likewise been my honor to interact with each and every one of you. I often start out my posts with the salutation, "Dear Friends," and I mean this wholeheartedly.

Until Next Time!
Grant Curtis

To Grant Curtis,
I would like to say thanks to you for giving me the unique insight into the production of Spider-man 3. I have seen the film numerous times, and enjoyed it immensely! It has been a pleasure reading your blogs, and I am sorry that I won't be reading anymore for a while. I sincerely hope that there is a next time, and I will continue to read your blogs then. Also, I like the way you address us as "Friends", I'm honoured. Nice cameo appearance, by the way!
Until Next Time!

Hello Mr. Curtis. I've enjoyed growing up with these movies, as they have made me a fan of the original franchise. It is my hope that you all are proud of your work in spite of the mixed reactions, and some day in the future feel inspired to do another. Whatever the turnout, these movies will stay with me forever.

Mexico TONY,

I'm sorry. I called you Mexico Troy. My bad Tony.

Grant

Alanah Annis,
Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad the wait was worth it. 3 years was a long time, but it takes a long time to make these big movies. & believe me, just as you were excited about seeing the movie throughout those three years, we were equally excited for you guys to see it as well. Sometimes the toughest part for us too is having to wait the 3 years. Glad you enjoyed.

Grant

Tim,
Many thanks to you for watching and reading the blogs & yes, hopefully in 2 or 3 years we'll be writing each other again. Peace,

Grant

Yavinick R.,
Glad you liked it. We sure had fun making it. Have a great and restful summer.

Sincerely,

Grant

SpideyUltraFan,
Thanks for the thank you, but believe me, a sincere thank you for all your support. A lot of factors make making these movies fun, but knowing that we are making them for devoted fans such as yourself make it much, much more rewarding.

Cheers!

Grant

Spy_d,
It has been fun counting down the days together hasn't it? Forgot about that clock - sometimes it's a little daunting, but man, when it gets close to the big date it sure is fun. Have a great summer.

Grant

Sam,
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for the Venom shout out. Topher was amazing, Sam, Ivan and Alvin wrote an incredible character, and James Acheson created an amazing design for his costume. It all came together. Have a swell summer.

Grant

Mr. Excellent,
Wow! Now those are powerful words. Thanks for your time and consideration when making that post. Really means a lot. Have a blessed summer.

Sincerely,

Grant

Kiran Prajapati,
I'm looking forward to the DVD too! It is going to rock. So many great special features and added value. What a blast! Hope you are doing well and great to hear from you from India.

Be well,

Thanks Grant...all the time spent in making this movie was more than excitement...it was a moment of heroism, compromise, and hard work... CONGRATS!!!

I hope u gather enough info + actors for the next big one...SPIDER-MAN 4!!!

Puebla, México
Mr. Grant i want to tell you that your work your acting and collaboration was pretty well, i always read your blog every day, waiting for every new, but i just want to know when is your birthday or your e-mail, But I just want to tell you Mr. Grant that your really make it well.
I hope you are well.
Thank´s.
Arturo.

Hi Grant-

It's been a great experience!! I first would like to thank you very much, for being one of the producers of Spider-Man and bringing him to life. It will always be the original Spider-Man films, in my eyes if they make more. Also, I'm glad you put a lot into making a extended cut of Spider-Man 2!! I absolutely love it. I know that I'm telling you about it now, but I didn't get a chance to, because you were going around the world for Spider-Man 3!!

But, I have to say Spider-Man 3 is very well done. It has action, a great story and it has humor to it. I do hope though, that maybe sometime next year perhaps, you could make a Spider-Man 3 extended cut or Director's cut? I've seen some great pictures of scenes that weren't in Spider-Man 3, which I think they should.

I think Spider-Man 3 is good, though I think Sandman should have more screen time, and I think Eddie Brock shoold be explored a bit for the character. Also, I was really hoping for the Sandcastle scene. I think that would've been better for Eddie and Flint to meet, and to get together, to battle Spider-Man. Other than that, it's perfect. I remember Thomas in a interview, said that there was four endings to Sandman's Spider-Man's scene. Also, if there's is going to be a extended version, would there be a final swing, maybe perhaps with M.J.?

Sorry for asking so much, I guess I'll have to ask just a few more questions on another post. Also, tell you what the Spider-Man films have done for me.

Have a great summer with your family and friends!

- Liam

This was the best movie of all time!!! Let's go for a forth movie!!!
Have a nice summer!

I know this is coming late but I have been following this website since it started and I've never had an as High anticipation for a movie , I must say . I am only 15 but I really think that the Spidey network is amazing . I mean it's great how we can actually get a reply from someone who is working on Spider-Man . I the spidey network is one of the few who does that and reading you're replies mister Curtis , they all seem pretty personal . Oh I've seen you're interviews on the spidey 2.1 dvd and I agreed with almost everything you said. Respect man . And just to say this : Thanks for Spider-Man 3 , Spider-Man is my favourite superhero and has become one of my favourite trilogies ... And I really hope you guys russel up a fourth movie ...

Peace ,
Tim

Cristhian,
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really all starts from an incredible character Stan and Steve created 40 plus years ago. What great characters!

Be well,

Grant

Arturo,
Thank you for the kind words. It is truly and honor to be associated with this franchise and to be able to work with people of integrity like Sam, Laura, Avi and the rest of the gang.

My birthday is August 19 and I can be reached through these posts.

Have a great day.

Sincerely,

Grant

Liam,
Hope you are having a great summer with your family and friends as well.

To be honest with you, I don't know what the future holds in terms of additional DVD releases beyond the theatrical version. I will tell you this though, we are currently busily preparing the "Spider-Man 3" DVD and I think we are going to be coming at you with a product that is going to knock your socks off. We are having a blast putting it together - reliving old moments, meetings, days of filming, etc. I think you are going to be pleased.

Also, thanks for your views about what you wished could have been different about "Spider-Man 3." It is always educational to read not only what people enjoy about the film, but also the places they have concerns about.

Be safe,

Grant

Hey Grant,

Absolutely loved the movie. The first two were great and I thought the effort and love that definitely went into the third one showed on the screen. I ended up seeing the flick five times on the big screen, just as many times as I had seen the second. Such a fantastic movie, I can't give you guys enough credit.

Beside your online blog, I also read the 'Making Of' books for Spider-Man 2 and 3. Both were excellent books, especially the latter. Despite its mammoth 200-something pages, I managed to read it in a couple of days. You really went into every last detail and as someone who's hoping to be a filmmaker one day(fittingly inspired by the first of the series to make movies), I loved every bit of it. I can't thank you enough.

Just one last question, and I'm sure you get these enough, but a friend and me wrote up a treatment for a possible Spider-Man 4 as well as a few beginning script pages. Is there any way I could send this to you?

Thank you and good luck in everything else you do,

Eddy

Mexico, Puebla.

Hi again Mr Grant, i still can´t believe that you respond my coment, i always wanted to talk with someone of the Spider-Man 3 Movie, and you granted my wish, i i tell you that the day August 19 i will say: Happy Birthday Mr. Grant!!!!!, iwas looking for your biography in the wikipedia and intarnet, but i didn´t found it the internet movie database should have it but not, that is why is want to know more about you, i hope to see you soon in the production of Spider-Man 4.Thank you for responding my comment. I wish to you to have a great summer, and there should be a biography about a so graetest person like you!!!!!!!
Thank´s
Arturo

Hey Grant,
I noticed that you made more comments than us. :P I read all your blogs. They are magnificent! I loved your cameo appearance in Spider-Man 3 as much as I loved the movie! I can't wait till Spider-Man 4 and the mysterious Spider-Man 3 DVD. I am taking your word on the DVD being excellent. :) In the future, I hope you get an even larger role in the Spider-Man movie series, because your acting and commitment should be recognized to all of the audience. I just wanted to say I really like what you do! The effort you and all of the crew put into this movie, is fantastic! Well I gotta go. Until next time.

Have a great summer,

Ovais

I loved Spider Man 123 Ihope that you will make Spider Man4 even more interesting but dont get it wrong i lovedcSpiderMan123

Is it true that Sony is planning to make a film of the book "Leonardo's Shadow" directed by Steven Spielberg?

I Think the film was great when are you going to bring out spiderman 4 and good luck to spiderman in Spiderman4

I've been here for over a year and a half on this website, eagerly following all the news, blogs, and videos to learn more about this movie, and I am proud to say I was anything but disappointed on May 4th. Spider-man 3, to put it simple, was incredible. Every single bit of the movie felt like it popped straight out of the comics, especially the symboite and sandman scenes. I've read in your book (which was worth the $50) and your blogs how extensive the visual effects were, and trust me: they paid off! They were mind-blowingly cool.
I especially loved your cameo. I thought I was the only in the theatre to know who you were, so I began to whisper to my friend next to me that the guy in the armored truck was the producer, when I heard the girl a couple rows behind me telling her friend the same!
I am eagerly anticipating the spider-man 3 DVD and all the special features in store for us, but anticipating the next movie even more.
Thank you so much to you and the team for making these movies, and drop by the spider-man network movie forums sometime. Hope to see you there!
-LudaChris

I saw this film many times in theatre bcoz I loved this.Now i'm looking forward to see the 4th.I hope Maguire,Dunst and Sam Raimi will be there in spiderman 4.

Hello Mr. Curtis

I'd like to say first off SPIDER-MAN 3 was a fantastic film, and well worth the wait . I'm also Glad it was a huge success @ The Box Office making a Domestic Total of $335,073,357 & Worldwide: $885,982,864 . IMO it's by far the best Summer blockbuster movie of 2007 .

I am eagerly waiting for the SPIDER-MAN 3 DVD and can't wait to see all the cool special features in store .

I hope to God, You, Raimi, Tobey , Kristen & The rest of the Gang return for spidey 4 .

I'd love to see Peter & Mary Jane finally get married & to see The Lizard as the villian .

You guys did an awesome job bring to life both VENOM & SANDMAN . I hope you'll get the chance to do The Lizard and the other classic villians of spidey in the future movies .Without Sam Raimi at the helm The Spidey movies wouldn't be as Amazing as they are .So I hope to see you, Raimi , Tobey, Kristen back for movie 4 & beyond .

-Peter

Hello Grant

I think Spider-Man 3 is the best movie in the world.
I cried when Harry died. I hope the whole crew returns in 2009 or 2010 for Spider-Man 4. The villains I would like to see are: Lizard and Hobgoblin getting his weapons, armour and glider from Kingpin. If we'd see Carnage as villain I would like to see Mordo, War Machine, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Venom returning and a bit of Dormammu. I would also like to see Pete and MJ finally getting married. And I hope Felica Hardy is mentioned as Jason Macendale's (Hobgoblin) girlfriend (if Hobgoblin will b in Spidey 4).

Have a great summer!

Spiderman III is really cooooooooooool!

I want to know when will be the realese on DVD?

I want my copy now!!!!

Puebla, México
Mr. Grant.

Thanks
