The Spider That Could

I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts from KCRW, The Business, yesterday that talked about how Spiderman 3 might be the most expensive movie in history.

The Most Expensive Movie Ever Made

If you don't get to click on the link above, they key to the story, according to Radar Online is that Spidey 3 cost a whopping $500 MILLION DOLLARS. Yes, half a billion dollars.

Analysts speculate that this will mean great things for studios who have been itching to dump money into films, but have decided against it because they don't want to be looked on as the ones who started the trend.

Isn't that something? So there it is. Now, when a studio wants to spend $350 million on a film, they can say, "Hey, at least we're not spending $500."
