The "Spider-Man" trilogy comes to your friendly neighborhood Blu-ray machine on Oct. 30, led by "Spider-Man 3" in its multiformat debut.
All of the films, plus "Spider-Man 2.1," make their first HD appearance with "Spider-Man High Definition Trilogy" (retail $99). A double-disc Blu-ray version of "Spider-Man 3" streets for $50. Sony releases its titles solely on Blu-ray, of course, but this still counts as more creepy-crawly news for the HD DVD format.
OnVideo.org broke the story early this morning.
The standard "Spider-Man 3" releases come swinging in with a single-disc version, double-disc special edition and the Spidey threepack. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment also announced a PSP disc.
The double-disc editions in SD and Blu-ray pack in more than six hours of new bonus materials. Evil-doers will love the trio of featurettes about the series' villains: Sandman, the Gobin and Venom.
Other extras include three pieces on stunts, bloopers, two audio commentaries and the Snow Patrol music video. The first commentary has director Sam Raimi
"Spider-Man" was your basic blockbuster, pulling in more than $888 million worldwide. Critics seemed lukewarm to mildy enthusiastic on the film; I thought it was similar on quality to the first film and not as good as the second, a terrific popcorn pic that also was directed by Raimi.
