Marc Webb Tries To Justify 3-D For Spidey Reboot

In a chat with Total Film director Marc Webb says that The Amazing Spider-Man reboot was shot in a way "very specifically for 3D".



Webb tells the site "there’s an experiential component to 3D that’s really fantastic and we’re experimenting with generating that point of view so you feel how Spider-Man feels when he’s jumping over these buildings.We made a conscious effort to do those effects practically and we had an incredible stunt team. We built this whole rig – hundreds of feet long – in Harlem, and we actually swung a man through traffic down the street. I thought that was really exciting, not to mention an incredible level of acrobatics!"

Webb adds that a big reason that he did the film had to do with exploring the relationship between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and his mentor Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) who becomes the Lizard....

"His [Parker] relationship with Connors, who is both mentor and adversary, I think makes for a really beautiful and interesting story."

Martin Sheen Chris Zylka Emma Stone Denis Leary and Sally Field co-star.

The script was penned by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent

A release date is set for July 3, 2012.
