Spider-Man Really Swings, Baby
Last week I posted a pic from the Spider-Man reboot movie set of an actual human being in an actual Spider-Man costume actually swinging around. Some of you thought that the pic was somehow made up in CG, which strikes me absurd, because I don’t know why anyone would bother to mock-up a shot so innocuous and unexciting. It would pretty much be the least ambitious fake ever.
At any rate, /Film found this footage from the Spider-Man reboot movie set of an actual human being in an actual Spider-Man costume actually swinging around, so shut the hell up.
