‘Spider-Man 3′ is rumoured to be the most expensive movie ever made.
According to reports, the film – which is based on the popular Marvel comic book series – cost more than $500 million to make. However, the sum has been much disputed with some Hollywood insiders struggling to accept that so much money was spent on it.
‘Spider-Man 3′ producer Laura Ziskin told the New York Post newspaper: "I refuse to say the real number because it makes me choke. ‘Spider-Man 3′ was a super-expensive movie – the most expensive film we’ve ever made. But there’s no way you can get to $300 million." A Sony representative claims the film cost $270 million. One movie source is adamant the actual total was higher, with production costs alone reaching $350 million, while New York location shoots cost upwards of $1 million a day. Radar magazine reported the final bill for ‘Spider-Man 3′, which stars Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire, was $500 million. The film – which is released next month – also contains ultra-expensive computer-generated special effects. It isn’t unusual for Hollywood blockbusters to cost mega-bucks. ‘Spider-Man 2′ reportedly cost $210 million, ‘King Kong’ $207 million and ‘Titanic’ $247 million.
