IMAX Corporation and Columbia Pictures today announced that "Spider-Man 4," will be released to IMAX theatres simultaneously with the film's worldwide release on May 5, 2011.
The IMAX Corporation released these quotes from various execs...
"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."
Bring it on! I have faith in Raimi and co. The last movie wasn't even the stinker a lot of people make it out to be. Don't get me wrong, it was pretty bad! But it had its moments. Hopefully the next installment rights those big Venom shaped wrongs.
Thanks to Latino Review for the info.
