Spider-Man is a 2002 American superhero film,
the first in the Spider-Man film series based on the fictional
Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It was directed by Sam Raimi
and written by David Koepp. It stars Tobey Maguire as Peter
Parker, a high-school student who turns to crimefighting after
developing spiderlike powers, along with Willem Dafoe as Norman
Osborn (a.k.a. the Green Goblin), Kirsten Dunst as Peter's love
interest Mary-Jane Watson, and James Franco as his best friend
Harry Osborn.
After being stuck in development hell for nearly 25 years, the
film was licensed for a worldwide release by Sony Pictures
Entertainment in 1999 after it acquired James Cameron's original
scriptment. Directors Roland Emmerich, Tim Burton, Chris
Columbus, and David Fincher were considered to direct the
project before Raimi was hired as director in 2000. Koepp wrote
the script, using Cameron's scriptment as a basis, and it was
revised by Scott Rosenberg and Alvin Sargent during production.
Filming took place in California and New York City from January
until June 2001. Spider-Man was released on May 3, 2002, and
became a critical and financial success. With $821.71 million
worldwide, it was 2002's third-highest-grossing film and is the
30th highest-grossing film of all time. Reviews were very
positive with critics praising Maguire's performance in
particular.[citation needed] Spider-Man was, for its time, the
only film to reach $100 million dollars in its first weekend,
the largest opening weekend gross of all time, and the most
successful film based on a comic book. The film's success led to
a successful film trilogy composed of it, Spider-Man 2 (2004)
and Spider-Man 3 (2007), all directed by Raimi and starring
Maguire, Dunst and Franco.
