Holy @#$%, New Movie Spider-Man Is Actually Doing Some Real Web-Slinging
 |
?Um, is anyone else as amazed by this shot as I am? I mean, I know it’s not a new (or better) look at the costume or anything, but to see a real person in any kind of Spider-Man costume swinging around the city on a webline just blows my mind. Obviously, I don’t think the movie is going to have no CG — that would be ridiculous. But if the new Spider-Man flick has even one scene of an actual human being swinging through the air — well, that would be one more scene that Raimi’s Spider-Man movies had, and a very, very cool improvement. If the new Spidey movie didn’t have my benefit of the doubt before, it certainly does now. (Via Superhero Hype)
