Spider Man 3 Premieres

The first premiere of Spider Man 3 took place last night in Tokyo, Japan and it looks like it was a huge success.

Hundreds of fans braved the damp rainy weather to see the stars of Spider Man 3, Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst make their way down the red carpet.

This is the third film in the Spider Man movies series and rumours are rife that there will be no more Spider Man films after it.

Spider Man 3 not only brings back many of the films favourite characters such as, Spider Man and Mary Jane Watson, it also brings two new bad guys into the action. The new villains are Sandman and Venom.

It is thought that Sony spent somewhere around $250 million dollars to create Spider Man 3. It looks like the company will get a good return on investment yet again. The previous two Spider Man movies have made over $1.6 billion dollars in box office receipts.

Speaking at the Tokyo premier of Spider Man 3, Toby Maguire, who plays Peter Parker aka Spider Man said, "I feel like this film is kind of a natural conclusion to a lot of stuff that's happened in the first two movies. It kind of feels like a natural trilogy."

Despite Toby Maguire's comments it doesn't mean that the star would not return for a fourth Spider Man film. Maguire also said that "if we come up with something we feels deserves to be told," he would be happen to take part again. However, he was also quick to point out that he wouldn't just do the films for fame, "I'm not going to make them just because they've been successful."

The Tokyo premier of Spider Man 3 was a dazzling event. Besides getting the chance glimpse of the stars, fans were treated to a visit from Spider Man himself. A stuntman dressed as Spider Man scaled a nearby building by rope to the great excitement of the waiting fans.

Toby Maguire did an excellent job of stirring the excitement of the fans with his remarks. Maguire said Tokyo would a great location for Spider Man as he would have plenty of skyscrapers to swing from.

The Tokyo branch of Sony is hoping that Spider Man 3 will give a boost to big Hollywood made films in Japan after recent falls. Since last year Japanese films have ruled the film market in Japan. This is the first time that Japanese films have topped box office receipts in Japan.

Two more world premiers of Spider Man 3 are scheduled before the film goes on general release around the world. The next Spider Man 3 premier will take place in London on April 23 and the US premier will take place on April 30 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.

Without giving away any details about the film, critics are saying the Spider Man 3 has created wonderful depth to its characters, something unusual for action movies. Spider Man explores and darker side of himself and deals with some complex emotions.
