Petaling Jaya, 24 September 2007 – Mediamax.com Sdn Bhd (Mediamax), the sole licensee and distributor of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (SPHE) today launched Spider-Man™ High Definition Trilogy, a three-pack release of all three films on Blu-ray™ High-Def. Tim Meade, Vice President, Asia Licensing, SPHE joined Ms. Jamie Tiong, General Manager of Mediamax in unveiling the new release at the Sony Style Showroom in The Curve. A surprise appearance by “Spidey” himself added to the excitement during the launch.

The Spider-Man™ High Definition Trilogy will allow fans the exclusive opportunity to collect both Spider-Man™ and Spider-Man™ 2 in high definition, along with Spider-Man™ 2.1 and Spider-Man™ 3. Spider-Man™ 3 will also be available as a stand-alone two-disc release on Blu-ray™ High-Def.

“The arrival of Blu-ray™ movies in Malaysia will pronounce a new standard of home entertainment excellence and experience. Spider-Man™ 3 on Blu-ray™ is certainly a must-have collectible especially among the high definition (HD) movies enthusiasts,” said Tim Meade during the launch.

Spider-Man™ 3 will also be available in several versions for fans to collect including a single-disc release, a two-disc Special Edition release, and a three-pack DVD release which will include Spider-Man™ and Spider-Man™ 2 on DVD with collectible O-Ring packaging.

The two-disc Spider-Man™ 3 Blu-ray™ High-Def and two-disc Special Edition DVD offer fans more than six hours of all-new bonus materials, including a trio of featurettes spotlighting the cinematic creation of the web crawler’s greatest nemeses. Grains of Sand - Building Sandman details the challenges Sony Pictures Imageworks faced in creating the iconic villain; Re-Imagining the Goblin explores the changes in the New Goblin character from page to screen; and Covered in Black – Creating Venom follows the cinematic creation of Spider-Man’s archrival.

The two-disc’s added value also has a trio of features on the creation of the spectacular stunts in the movie: Hanging On…Gwen Stacy & the Collapsing Floor, where stunt coordinator Scott Rogers explores the logistics of the dangerous stunt performed by Bryce Dallas Howard; Fighting, Flying & Driving – The Stunts, wherein Stunt Coordinator/2nd Unit Director Dan Bradley and Stunt Coordinator Scott Rogers provide a behind-the-scenes peek at the various “gags” in the film; and Wall of Water where the viewer is taken into the creation of one of the biggest stunts in the film. In addition, the discs offer bloopers, a Snow Patrol music video, and two audio commentary tracks with cast and filmmakers.

Following the official launch, media members were invited to experience the paragon of home entertainment excellence through a Blu-ray™ High-Def product demonstration. Members of the media were thrilled with the distinct video and audio quality of the Blu-ray™ format that is at least 6 times better than the performance of the HD DVD. A Sony Product Specialist explained that traditional DVD is limited to a format of 480i and 576i definitions, whilst Blu-ray™ is able to support 720p, 1080i and 1080p definition, hence offering finer picture quality.

Prior to the launch of Spider-Man™ 3, Mediamax has brought in 30 titles in Blu-ray™ format including “Ghost Rider”, “Casino Royale”, “Kung-Fu Hustle”, “Monster House” just to name a few.

“Following the recent success in releasing 25 titles in Blu-ray™ in Hong Kong, we are confident that Malaysia will do equally well given the potential in the market,” said Jamie Tiong, General Manager of Mediamax.
Spider-Man™ High Definition Trilogy and Spider-Man™ 3 will hit major stores very soon. Spider-Man™ High Definition Trilogy is priced at RM399.90; Spider-Man™ 3 stand-alone two-disc release on Blu-ray™ High-Def at RM 179.90.
