SPIDER senses are tingling all over Worcester this weekend, with cinemas holding sneak previews of the new Spider-Man film this weekend.
The film, which stormed the box office in America, does not officially open in this country until next weekend
Directed by Evil Dead director Sam Raimi and based on the comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the film stars Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker, the nerdy student bitten by a genetically modified spider.
The cast includes Kirsten Dunst as love interest Mary Jane Watson and Willem Dafoe as Norman Osborn and the Green Goblin.
A sequel has already been announced and shooting is expected to begin in January, 2003 for a release date in 2004.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst are expected to return as Spider-Man does battle with Dr Octopus and the Lizard.
Staff at The Odeon Cinema, on Foregate Street, are crawling up the wall with excitement as the show begins at 11am on Saturday, June 8 and continue almost hourly throughout the day.
