THE ROAD TO SPIDER-MAN
Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy, Part 1
When we covered Sam Raimi's spook-a-blast cinema a few months ago in our series Sam Raimi: The Entertainer, we made a promise to our listeners that we'd soon be covering the director's SPIDER-MAN films as well. And folks, say what you will about the Cinema Shock crew, but we keep our promises!
We're kicking this series off with something a little different. During the course of our research, we realized that the road that led to Raimi's first SPIDER-MAN film was a long one, fraught with starts and stops over the course of several decades, with several prominent directors being attached to adaptations of the character over the years.
And we figured, this was far too much information to cram into an episode about the production of SPIDER-MAN(2002), and it was all far too interesting to skip over and, besides, one can see the fingerprints of some of these other attempted SPIDER-MAN films in the final product.
So join us on The Road To Spider-Man as we trace the history of the webslinger's journey to the big screen in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy, Part 1!
