Spiderman 3 - The most expensive film ever made

Upcoming film 'Spiderman 3' may be the most expensive movie ever made, with reports claiming that more than 500 million dollars could have been spent on its production.

Although sources associated with film production claim that 350 million dollars have been spent on the production of the movie, reports published in Radar magazine say that the total expenses may have crossed the 500 million-dollar mark after the inclusion of the cost of publicity and marketing.

Laura Ziskin, one of the film's producers, however refuted the claims of the 350 million dollar expenditure on the movie that opens on May 4. While she refused to reveal the actual amount spent on the film's production, she did claim that the project was a super-expensive movie.

"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," the New York Post quoted her as saying.

A representative for Sony Pictures says that only 270 million dollars have been spent on the movie. The source also told that each day's cost of shooting was around one-million dollars, and that the producers have spent heavily on computer generated special effects.
