"Movie-goers have been looking forward to the theatrical release of Spider-Man(TM) 3 for the past three years," said Jonathan Shair, vice president of planning and scheduling, Starz Entertainment. "We were happy to partner with Sony and Columbia Pictures to give Starz viewers a chance to celebrate its hugely-anticipated release with a national sweepstakes and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie."
Columbia Pictures' Spider-Man(TM) 3 reunites the cast and filmmakers from the first two blockbuster adventures for a web of vengeance, love and forgiveness that will transport worldwide audiences to thrilling new heights on May 4, 2007.
In Spider-Man(TM) 3, based on the legendary Marvel Comics series, Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. When his suit suddenly changes, turning jet-black and enhancing his powers, it transforms Peter as well. Under the influence of the suit, Peter's pride and overconfidence take hold and he begins to neglect the ones he cares about the most. As two of the most-feared villains yet, Sandman and Venom, gather unparalleled power and a thirst for retribution, Spider-Man's greatest battle is the one within himself -- he will need to rediscover who he is and what makes him the hero people love.
