 Thank YouJune 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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
