THE ROAD TO SPIDER-MAN: Hollywood’s Longest Web | Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy

from Cinema Shock · host Cinema Shock

When we wrapped our Sam Raimi: The Entertainer series, we promised we’d be back to talk about Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN films — and folks, we keep our promises. But before we dive into the production of Raimi’s blockbuster trilogy, we’re kicking things off with something a little different: a look at the decades-long saga that brought Spider-Man to the big screen. From the aborted Cannon Films version in the ’80s to James Cameron’s infamous unmade script — and all the legal, financial, and creative chaos in between — this is the full story of how Peter Parker finally swung into theaters under the direction of Sam Raimi. So join us for The Road to Spider-Man, the first entry in our new series covering Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN TRILOGY.
