World Premiere Of Spider-Man 3 Takes Place In Tokyo
Tokyo, Japan (AHN) - “Spider-Man 3,” the third film in the Spider-Man film franchise and based on the fictional Marvel Comics character, debuted with much fan-fare in Tokyo on Monday.
Thousands of Japanese fans stood waiting in the rain to catch a glimpse of film stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, who lighted up the stage at an open-air event before the premiere.
In the film, the superhero battles his own inner demons that are brought out by his blacker and more powerful suit. Two new villains, Sandman and Venom, also arrive in New York with overpowering abilities.
The film’s budget is reported to be $250 million, making it one of the most expensive movies in Hollywood. According to BBC reports, the visual effects proved to be the most costly.
John Dykstra, who won the Academy Award for Visual Effects for his work on “Spider-Man 2,” didn’t work in the recent sequel, with fellow supervisor Scott Stokdyk taking over the reins.
Tokyo has also opened a Spiderman-themed exhibition at the Roppongi Hills complex, according to DPA news agency.
“Spider-Man 3″ will be commercially released in multiple countries, including Japan, China and some European countries, starting May 1. It will be available for U.S. viewers beginning May 4.
The U.S. premiere will take place at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on April 30.
