-- "The wealth of material [in the span of the comics] -- whether it's story or character -- is really profound but I also feel it's my responsibility to reinvent it in some ways," says Webb.
The director namedrops Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, pointing out that in the earliest Spidey comics Peter Parker was "a nerd with big glasses. ... What was important in those early comics was this notion that Peter Parker is an outsider and how we define that in a contemporary context [is important]. That, I think, was one of the challenges for us -- getting Peter Parker's outsider status to be current. Peter Parker is a real kid. He's not a billionaire. He's not an alien. He's a kid who gets picked on and gets shoved to the outside. The 90-pound weakling, that's who Spider-Man is when he gets bit. So much of the DNA of the character is the fact that he was a kid when he got bit. He is imperfect, he is immature and has a bit of a punk rock instinct. In his soul he's still a 90-pound weakling even after [the transformative bite]."
-- "I love a lot of the Ultimate Spider-Man artwork and story lines, there's a lot more of an adolescent, playful quality," he says. "And I think that's a big part of [the] Spider-Man universe and hasn't really been explored cinematically before."
-- As for differences between his and Sam Raimi's films, expect more stunts that are "grounded physically." His team has "spent months and months and months developing rigs so he could swing in a way that wasn't computer-generated. Obviously there's going to be enhancements and CG [sequences], but it's based in a physical reality and that's a new technique [for this film brand]."
-- The villain is "new" and "something we haven't seen before and villains help define the story in a very specific way."

Wow, it looks awesome now that it's in HD!! Thanks a bunch, man!
Agreed. though,It does..I almost feel silly for watching the leak yesterday because it definitely didn't do it justice..looks like Peter was on a field trip to Oscorp and that he flicked the spider-web, causing a vibration (foreshadowing hopefully) and that caused the spider to bite him. and my favorite shot has to be him sitting in his room in the costume sitting Indian style..all of the blue just does it for me. reminds me of this poster I have
Not sure how that site got a good copy, but it's still an illegal copy =) Should be up officially very soon.
One thing I really think is cool is the Oscorp stuff. This could be a build up to Norman Osborn.
dont know if anybody mention it , but it looks a lot like raimi's testing on the cgi spidey

It worked, IMO.I don't like the camera for this. the camera angles should be simple and should be as static as possible. the camera follows spidey and it looks like he is just crawling on the floor that 'happens' to look like a wall. film the shot with spidey climbing the simply, the 'wow' factor is already in the shot with spidey doing the impossible.
Why the hell was that there, anyway?him pulling the spider web out of his neck..geez lol
Why the hell was that there, anyway?
it's eally hard to believe this was filmed with a DIGITAL camera it really looks like 35m film. stunning. also is it just me or does the POV seem 'faster' in HD?
It worked, IMO.
Yeah, lol. I wonder why they had the spider bite him on the neck?lol I have no idea..I'm trying to figure that out because it's not like the spider burrowed inside of him..that's a bite mark..it did make for a cool visual though
Well, of course it does, it's in HD, lol.also is it just me or does the POV seem 'faster' in HD?
the guys who shot the film said it looks like 35m and they were right..it really does look like a David Fincher film
