thanks for everything Grant! Spidey 3 was incredible! now, we wait for 4!

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!

-Sam

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.

thanks grant..for spider man 3...

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

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

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.

i liked the movie, I went to the movies with my best friend Arturo, but but i wished that the movie could have more fight scenes and Venom, i wanted to see more venom, i was waiting since i have 10 years old, i thinked that the movie could have a long of 3 hours or more but.... well i hope you guys make the 4th better. Thanks

Hi Grant

Now spiderman 3 is out of cinemas but im waitting for the DVD version which i think is gonna be unic, I cant wait for it.

Thanks from Mexico

Mr. Curtis,

I eagerly scooped up your book and have truly enjoy devouring its glorious contents. I've been savoring your recounts of the successes and challenges, great and small, of each day's events, all relayed with such wit and eloquence, that were producing no longer of interest to you, you might do well to permanently embrace the quill. Your sentiments on Tobey's final day of shooting were especially moving to me and I appreciate the truth and kindness you expressed towards him.

I will miss coming here and reading your spectacular cloud-bursts of new information and insight into the big-budget, filmmaking world. Even as I have cursed it, I already mourn the absense of the long-suffering hype, but the information you shared helped make the wait bearable. I have seen Spider-Man 3, in all its magnificence, an impressive 8 times in theaters and likely will cap it off once more before it leaves the silver screen. As ungrateful as this sounds, I find myself aching for another chapter and grieving the dismantling of this great team. I miss the anticipation of it all, the next big masterpiece. But I stray from the purpose of this post, which is to offer thanks and congratulations to you and the entire team for a job well done.

Sincererly, Thank You,
InsomniacFreak

will there be deleted scenes on dvd release of spider-man 3

Hey Grant!
Can't wait for number 4! I think you guys did a perfect job on Venom and on the film it's self except for the fact that well even though I am a huge Venom fan *hint* to the name,lol umm I think in the scene when Dr. Connors is inspecting the symbiote I think you guys could have explained it's weaknesses a little even though I know Venom's weaknesses, people who don't know much of who Venom is they probably wouldn't have, and by the way will there be any chance for Carnage in 4? Anway hope you get this message soon!
-Venomscurse

Dear Grant
Hey I loved the movie. I t was soo awesome! I loved everything about it. Im just wondering one thing: What is the future of Venom? I have wondered this ever since may 4th
what shal happed to him? Why did raimi kill him off so soon?
will he make an apperancve in SM4?
Thanx for you time

ilove you spiderman 3 movies

Hey, Grant.
Just saying that I really enjoyed Spider-man 3. I saw it on the first night and haven't got round to commenting earlier, so I'm doing it now. I really hope that Peter leaving the Symbiote sample at Connor's lab was a hint to Carnage in four. He's the villian I want alongside Lizard (It's obvious that Lizard will be in four! If he isn't I'm going to personally hire Deadpool...) and possibly Scorpion as a Side-villian. It's obvious that Venom is dead, so I'm not going to go on about how you better bring Venom back, blah blah blah. He's dead. I know. It was there, Eddie's skeleton. So, I hope Raimi, Maguire and Dunst return for four, and if Carnage is in it, I want David Tennant (The current Doctor Who and Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), since he can play a maniac really well.
Thanks,
Climps.
PS. Pop by the Official SM movie boards soon!

Hey Grant I loved Sm3, that's probably one of the best sm movies I've seen out of the 3. I just have a question though, do you know by any chance if Lizard's going to make his appearance finally in spider-man 4? I've been waiting for him for so long also, I think it'd be cool to have Scorpion along with him too. I mean, it could explain to the people why JJJ dislikes Spidey so much. I do like your idea of kraven being in there too though, it'd be cool to see him hunt and fight the Lizard while Spidey's trying to stop them both. But do you think it'd be good to use only 2 villains this time? Imean I liked 3 in the last movie but I think this one should have more story with it but still with a lot of action. I'm looking forward to your reply. Thanks.

Dear Grant:

Hi, I just wanted to pop by and say a few things. First I enjoyed the movie and first I thought it was going fast the action and the scenes. When I saw it the second time it was all fine except for three things: There was abit too much Peter and MJ like too much drama, Peter had more screentime than Spider-man himslf and also Sandman scenes were abit short. Oh and why did you guys killed off Venom? Its fine by me. Also is there any chance for Lizard or Carnage being in the next flim? Thank you for your time.

Hi Grant! I loved SM3. It was so good. Definitly one of my all time favorites. I really hope you do a SM4. I would be so happy. Especially if you use the Lizard. He's one of my favorite villians. Thanks for reading my coments!

Hey Grant, when i went to see spider-man 3 at midnight i was so hyped when i saw the marvel logo. The movie didn't dissapoint me one bit. I left the theatre very satisfied. The movie blew me away. The sandman scenes were AMAZING! You and your team are very awesome.I can't wait for the dvd to come out. Will there be deleted scenes in the dvd? You should come to check out the boards some time.

sincerly, symbiote789

Just curious, have you talked to Alfred Molina lately? ^_^ I hope he does come back for the 4th movie. Cuz, a Sinister Six wouldn't be much without him. That was sad what happend to Harry. ^_^

Hope your summer has been good.

Hey Grant, I loved SM3 it's probably one of the besy of the trilogy I'd say. I have a question though, is there any chance that Dylan will finally get to be the Lizard in SM4, I've really been waiting for that and if Kraven also makes it then would you consider casting Oded Fehr to play him, he looks just like him and I think he'd fit into the cast very well. Looking forward to your reply, thanks.

Hello! It was so cool when you replied back to me! Not many people in the movie biz do that and I'm glad you did! =) It's like having a friend online. You are my best bud! ;)

Hey Grant!I thought Venom was awsome.I don't mind there wasn't much of him,but what we got was good =).I look foward to Spidey 4!Tell Tobey all the fans want him back.I hope to see like Lizard and Carnage.Great job!If you know when Spidey 4,(if there's going to be),will come out,please tell me.Kepp up the good work!!!

Hi...Grant

One of the most exciting things was the MUSIC, I think that Chiristopher Young made a great job, the main titles is just increibe the way he remade the original version and all the music in the movie made each scene more exciting. I relly enjoed it.

Waitting for the 4th Tony

Hi Grant-

Thank you for everything you've wrote back to me with. I hope you do well with your producing of films career go very well. Also, you should become a member of the "Spider-Man Movie Network" message boards. Everyone is very kind on there. If you do become a member, please post every once and while, when you have the chance to.

-Liam/shadow_spidey

Hi Grant-

I would like to ask about the "Original Motion Picture Score" for "Spider-Man 3!!" Someone said on a Chris Young site, that "Sony" is not going to produce one. Is this true or a rumor? There's so many fans in the world that adores the scores to these films you've brought to us. I don't not believe that this is true. It just can't be. It wouldn't be fare at all. I really like what Chris did with Danny's work. He just brought another great essence to this great franchise!! If you can make a new "Spider-Man 2" than you can please help with this matter. If it's a true fact. My Uncle, Ronald Sadoff, a composer & professor of N.Y.U.! Knows and is friends with Chris. He was going to get me a autogragh for the score soundtrack when it came out. From Chris, the next time my Uncle comes to California. But, I don't know if that will happen.

Well, Grant. Thank you for everything you've wrote back to me with. I hope your producing of films career goes very well. Also, you should become a member of the "Spider-Man Movie Network." Everyone is very kind on there. If you could maybe post things everyonce and while, when you have the chance to. I hope to maybe meet you one day, just to talk. I might, because I want to become an actor. I enjoy it very much, acting. Maybe you'll produce a film, I'm in. Which would be an honor to work with you. I'm shadow_spidey on the boards, over there.

Thank you and others that help make these magnificent films possible. Have a great rest of your summer, hope things go well with the dvds. Have a great rest of the year.

-Liam

Hi mr. Grant
Ijust wanted to tell you : happy Birthday, i was a little late that was because my internet problems but well happy birthday!

hi
emm...
well i just wanted to tell you that your work was really good, but I and my friends think that Spider-man 3 needed a little more, like the black suit, we though that peter would make more use of it, and venom could make more fights again Spider-man, we wanted to see more Venom!! and sandman i seem that he wanted to kill spidey, his punches were so painful that the people that was in the movie wanted to cry, we wanted more fights because my friend Arturo and I when we saw all those inedit images we though: ohhhhhhh my god this is going to be the best movie of ever but..... well not enough and the hair of peter, he is not a nerd he is now a super hero and we think tha Spider-man movies are not following enough the comic, i know that changes are good but don´t get out of the comic please without sense but well you still have the chance and the opportunity to make another movie and i hope that you make a good job and the most thing i liked is when the movie starts in the credits song of the start. well thanks
Alejandroand Arturo. be well.

dear friends

the spider-man 3 movie has three villeans
