Spider-Man 3<\/strong><\/a> is out this Friday and I recently caught up with three of the key people who helped bring the film to the screen.<\/p>\n

\"Sam<\/a>Director Sam Raimi<\/strong><\/a> is the main man behind all three Spider-Man films<\/a>. He emerged in the early 1980s with cult horror The Evil Dead<\/a> and went on to direct films like Darkman<\/a> and A Simple Plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the Spider-Man character was finally released from the legal problems<\/a> that had prevented any film version getting made, Sam was the inspired choice to bring the iconic Marvel superher<\/a>o<\/a> to the screen.<\/p>\n

We spoke about the different story lines, the new villains and the technology behind the visual effects. We also discuss his friend Bruce Campbell<\/a> (who again returns in a cameo), the “classic” yellow car that appears in all his movies and whether or not he’ll return for a fourth Spider-Man film<\/a>.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"James<\/a>James Franco<\/strong><\/a> has has played Harry Osborn<\/a> in all three Spider-Man films. The first film in 2002 was his big breakthrough but you may have seen him in a TV movie biopic about James Dean<\/a> or more recently in The Company<\/a> and Tristan and Isolde<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Spider-Man he was Peter Parker’s friend who also happened to have a scientist father known as The Green Goblin<\/a>. The second film saw him thirst revenge when he realised his father died in a fight with Spidey and he also discovered the Goblin’s extensive weapons stash.<\/p>\n

James discusses his role, where this film picks up after the last film, the challenge of acting against a green screen and what director Sam Raimi has brought to the trilogy.<\/p>\n

\"Topher<\/a>Topher Grace<\/a> <\/strong>is the new kid on the Spidey block. He plays Eddie Brock and the eagerly anticipated villain Venom<\/a>. You might remember him from the TV series That 70s Show<\/a>, Traffic<\/a>, Ocean’s Eleven<\/a> and Ocean’s Twelve<\/a> (where he has uncredited cameos as himself!).<\/p>\n

More recently he has starred in films like Win a Date With Tad Hamilton<\/a>, P.S.<\/a> and In Good Company<\/a> in which he starred alongside Dennis Quaid<\/a> and Scarlett Johansson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That film helped him win his current role in the latest Spider-Man film. The character of Venom is a big fan favourite and we chatted about how he got the role, the secrecy surrounding the film and the differences between the character in the comic and this film.<\/p>\n
