Spider-Man 4 to be Released on IMAX May 5, 2011!

IMAX Corporation and Columbia Pictures today announced that the highly-anticipated action-adventure Spider-Man 4, will be released to IMAX® theatres simultaneously with the film's worldwide release on May 5, 2011. The fourth installment of the successful "Spider-Man" franchise, based on the Marvel Comicbook character, will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience. The film will be distributed by Columbia Pictures domestically and by Sony Pictures Releasing International overseas.

To date, the "Spider-Man" motion pictures have generated more than $2.5 billion in worldwide box office receipts.

"The last two 'Spider-Man' releases have been available in IMAX theaters, and we're very much looking forward to our return to a wider IMAX theatre network with this exciting new chapter in the continuing adventures of Spider-Man," said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing. "The addition of so many new IMAX locations will give even more fans of Spider-Man an opportunity to experience the action and adventure in a unique way."

"'Spider-Man' continues to be one of the world's most popular motion picture franchises, and we are very excited to include the latest chapter as part of our 2011 slate," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "Our network has grown significantly and we continue to roll-out new theatres virtually every week, giving more moviegoers the opportunity to experience the movie in IMAX."

"We're so excited to once again work with our friends at Columbia Pictures, Sony and Marvel to bring this beloved superhero back to IMAX theatres," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "The 'Spider-Man' franchise has been so important to the growth of our network and fan base over the years and we're certainly looking forward to re-teaming with the entire cast and production team to bring this next chapter to moviegoers worldwide."

Sam Raimi Hopes To Start Shooting 'Spider-Man 4' In March 2010

Back in March, a little less than two years after "Spider-Man 3" opened with what was then the biggest first weekend ever, Sony and Marvel Studios announced an official release date for its fourth Spidey flick: May 6, 2011. Still up in the air was the date when production would actually begin.

In an exclusive conversation with MTV News on Friday, franchise director Sam Raimi reveled that if all goes according to plan, shooting will begin early next year.

"We're hoping that it's the first week in March," said Raimi.

At the moment, pre-production is in full swing, even as screenwriter Gary Ross ("great director and a very fine writer," said Raimi) continues to work on the script.

"He's working on a draft," he continued. "I just gave him some notes and he's doing a rewrite right now."

On other fronts, "Spider-Man 4" continues to chug along. "The production is starting to come together," Raimi told us. "I've got a production designer who is starting to design the sets and the environments that the picture will take place in. We just brought aboard Scott Stokdyk as one of the two visual effects supervisors, and I worked with him on all three 'Spider-man' pictures."

With Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst set to reprise their roles, Raimi and his team will soon turn their attention to filling out the rest of the cast. "None of the casting has really taken place, but we're starting to think about that now," the director said.

Our chat with Raimi was a wide-ranging one, filled with talk about where he wants to take the Peter Parker character, which villain(s) might be showing up on the big screen, and much, much more. Check back in the coming days for more exclusive Spidey news.

I thought 3 was perfectly fine as a movie. Not as good as 2 (or 1) but certainly a good movie. People seem to forget who is directing these films. Sam "Evil Dead, Army of Darkness etc" Raimi himself. He loves shlocky, surreal and weirdo stuff in his movies. He loves odd camera angles, he loves music in his movies (oy) etc.

Does it really surprise you that when Peter was infected with the Venom symbiote he danced in NYC like he didn't care? lol

While he naturally wouldn't reveal who the villain is in Spider-Man 4, director Sam Raimi told MTV what their thinking is behind the villain they will choose:

"What we're trying to do right now is really understand the journey Peter is going to go on this time and have the villain maybe be a counter to that growth, something that he has to overcome," Raimi said. "Or maybe he has to grow in a way to overcome the villain, because there always seem to be stories of coming of age, of a young man growing up and learning things about life, so once we are identifying the exact movement that Peter has to grow to, I think the villain?and we're trying this right now; we're trying to choose a villain based on who would be the proper counter to that growth, so we really have dramatic conflict."b>

You can check out the full interview here.

There aren't many villians they can choose from anymore that are "good" and not totally comic-y now. Scorpion is an obvious one as they already set it up kinda in previous movies. Kingpin could be a possibility, but he's not even superhuman or anything. Plus, he's just a gangster more or less lol

I don't know. They should never have used Venom in 3. They should have stuck with Sandman and Harry/Goblin Jr. as the two main villians for 3. Venom could have been a perfect villian for 4. I suppose he COULD still be used in 4 since we all know the symbiote wasn't destroyed (plus they can use the comic storyline here and say that it's totally bonded with Eddie Brock's blood now and can't be removed - of course it is later on but that's another comic) and make a return.

But they will just do the same damn storyline again. MJ gets taken by baddie, Spidey has to save her while she screams her ass off, and he saves the day in the end. No what they need to do is either kill her off in 4 or make it so Spidey doesn't "win" so cleanly like in the comics sometimes.

Let's not forget they didn't kill off Gwen Stacey in the last one either. They could do all sorts of stuff with that as well.

I have been reading and alot of people want Lizard to be the baddie

Er, I meant Lizard in my previous post not Scorpion lol

Though they could do Scorpion also. Hell they could do Ultimate Scorpion (which was a clone of Spider-Man) if they wanted to do a Venom-like deal again without Venom lol But then again, in the comics Scorpion eventually DOES turn into Venom (the 3rd one if I remember) so ehhhhh

yeah but i doubt he will be. i want carnage!

Carnage would be hard to do though, if they follow the comics at all. In the comics (if I remember correctly) Cletus Kennedy (or something) is in jail with Eddie Brock (who lost the symbiote). The symbiote comes back to Eddie in the cell and bonds with him again creating Venom again but leaves behind an "offspring" symbiote which bonds with Cletus and he in turn turns into Carnage. Plus, all the villians they've done so far in the movies still had "redeeming" qualities in them in the end (well, most of them).

Carnage, from Cletus (who was a seriel killer) is totally evil and just kills for pleasure. That's kinda dark for a movie that won't want to push a PG-13 rating.

alot of people want venom back and carnage introduced. from the new interview id say it won't be the lizard. maybe mysterio?

I remember reading a rumour somewhere that the man who becomes Mysterio was going to get a mention in S3 but they decided against it.

I say just do the big cross-over movie already. Whether it's the Avengers or not I don't care.

Hell they could even do a Marvel/DC cross-over movie if they wanted to (they did it in the comics!) and it would probably rock.

The problem with another stand alone Spidey movie is this: I think we are all tired of the whiney, teenaged, angst-ridden nerd Peter Parker they've potrayed over the course of the first 3 movies. Let's not forget in the comics Spidey grows up quite nicely, gets married (has that marriage erased from existence lol) and blah blah blah.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
