1. Hello, this is J.K. Simmons.Copy !req
2. Actually, this is J.K. Simmons
and that is Tobey Maguire.Copy !req
3. Tobey Maguire.Copy !req
4. Gonna watch Spider-Man
and talk to you guys.Copy !req
5. Yeah. And that was
the Columbia lady shedding light.Copy !req
6. Very cool logo.Copy !req
7. Marvel Comics. I thought it was
part of the movie when I first saw it.Copy !req
8. It's just the Marvel logo.Copy !req
9. And very cool Danny Elf man...Copy !req
10. - Score.
- ... theme here, yeah.Copy !req
11. Yeah.Copy !req
12. I remember sitting at the premier...Copy !req
13. really remember
just right off the bat just being...Copy !req
14. sucked right in.Copy !req
15. Oh, yeah. It was so exciting too.Copy !req
16. The energy and anticipation
of the film was just insane.Copy !req
17. - Yeah.
- It was...Copy !req
18. I was like on the edge
of my seat and...Copy !req
19. I couldn't wait to see
how people responded.Copy !req
20. - "J.K. Simmons."
- Hey, I heard of him.Copy !req
21. Yeah.Copy !req
22. I've worked with him before actually.Copy !req
23. - Right, there's a little trivia fact.
- Sure.Copy !req
24. Cider House Rules.Copy !req
25. - Played Charlize's pops, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
26. I can't remember his name.Copy !req
27. - The lobster man. Ray.
- Right.Copy !req
28. Ray, the lobster man.Copy !req
29. I gotta say, I had a great time
on this film...Copy !req
30. and it comes from Sam.
Sam Raimi.Copy !req
31. Absolutely. Yeah.Copy !req
32. He was...Copy !req
33. It was hard for me
to get this job actually.Copy !req
34. The studio was hesitant
to hire me...Copy !req
35. as this is a huge investment
for them...Copy !req
36. and, you know, I guess people
are used to seeing me...Copy !req
37. in art-house films...Copy !req
38. playing more passive,
less heroic characters...Copy !req
39. very introspective, and...Copy !req
40. They didn't...Copy !req
41. They said,
"Well, we like him as an actor.Copy !req
42. We're not sure if he's right
for this role."Copy !req
43. And Sam Raimi really fought for me.Copy !req
44. And it was hard.
I had to fight with him...Copy !req
45. but he was so supportive
and so passionate...Copy !req
46. about having me in the movie.Copy !req
47. You know, I went through
two screen tests...Copy !req
48. for the film.Copy !req
49. And then off to the races...Copy !req
50. but it was good
because I really felt...Copy !req
51. like a partner with Sam.Copy !req
52. - Yeah.
- So it was a good way to go into it.Copy !req
53. And then just having a ball with Sam
making the movie.Copy !req
54. He's so much fun, so funny.Copy !req
55. Yeah, yeah, he's great. He's...Copy !req
56. I described him once as being like...Copy !req
57. a really, really smart 9-year-old boy.Copy !req
58. Because he's got a lot of
that kind of fun about him.Copy !req
59. Fun, silly energy, but very smart
and very collaborative.Copy !req
60. Yeah.Copy !req
61. There's Kirsten Dunst,
who I flew out to Germany...Copy !req
62. when I had strep throat.Copy !req
63. We had read tons of girls
and we were like...Copy !req
64. four weeks before
we started shooting.Copy !req
65. And, you know,
that's a short amount of time...Copy !req
66. for this kind of film,
where they have all these...Copy !req
67. I mean, she didn't have
a superhero costume...Copy !req
68. but, you know,
they need preparation time.Copy !req
69. Right.Copy !req
70. And I didn't wanna go.Copy !req
71. And I said to Sam...Copy !req
72. Didn't wanna spend eight hours
on a plane with strep?Copy !req
73. Yeah, I didn't. Well, actually
I had to go to New York.Copy !req
74. From LA. To New York...Copy !req
75. No, L.A. to Germany for...Copy !req
76. 17 hours, be in Germany, Berlin...Copy !req
77. then go to New York
for two days...Copy !req
78. and come home.
And I called my doctor...Copy !req
79. and said, "Can you give me a note
so I can call Sam...Copy !req
80. or give the note that I can't go
to Sam?" And I called...Copy !req
81. "Dear Mr. Raimi, Tobey is too sick..."Copy !req
82. And I called Sam and I said, you know,
"My doctor doesn't think I should go."Copy !req
83. Sam said, "Tobey...Copy !req
84. I've gotta tell my kids that...Copy !req
85. Daddy can't be with them
this weekend...Copy !req
86. and I really don't wanna do that.
This is about sacrifice.Copy !req
87. And pack your bags
because you're coming to Germany."Copy !req
88. So off we went,
and thank God, because that was it.Copy !req
89. I mean, I'm not gonna say,
you know...Copy !req
90. We basically all knew
right as it was happening...Copy !req
91. - Yeah, yeah.
- ... that she was it.Copy !req
92. She was so...Copy !req
93. There were a lot of wonderful names
and ideas that came up for casting...Copy !req
94. but then, yeah, when I met Kirsten
and saw her doing it, there's just...Copy !req
95. Nobody could have been any better.Copy !req
96. For the role, yeah, exactly.Copy !req
97. Public-school kids.
I'm not showing up in the Rolls.Copy !req
98. What, you want me
to trade in my car for a Jetta...Copy !req
99. because you flunked out
of every private school...Copy !req
100. And these guys...Copy !req
101. Willem and James Franco.Copy !req
102. One of the great things
that you notice...Copy !req
103. in the very first scene is that...Copy !req
104. you see actors playing
father and son all the time...Copy !req
105. that there's no way
they could be related.Copy !req
106. And these guys, you know...Copy !req
107. not only are they both
good actors...Copy !req
108. but they actually...Copy !req
109. - Look like...
- They could be related.Copy !req
110. Exactly.Copy !req
111. Good job.Copy !req
112. There I am, looking like a nerd.Copy !req
113. It's perfect.Copy !req
114. So was that a big stretch,
the nerd thing?Copy !req
115. Well, it is a big stretch,
but people don't realize that.Copy !req
116. Only my friends realize that.Copy !req
117. Impressive.
Your parents must be very proud.Copy !req
118. I live with my aunt and uncle.
They are.Copy !req
119. It was great working with Willem.
I like...Copy !req
120. I think I threw in the DVD
of Last Temptation of Christ...Copy !req
121. the night before I started
working with him.Copy !req
122. You know, I said, "I'm going to work
with Jesus Christ tomorrow."Copy !req
123. Right.Copy !req
124. He had just gotten done...
The vampire...Copy !req
125. - What was the vampire movie?
- Shadow of the Vampire.Copy !req
126. That was just out when we...
When I started working with him.Copy !req
127. Yup.Copy !req
128. This is the most advanced electron
microscope...Copy !req
129. Peter Parker,
impressed with things...Copy !req
130. that most teenagers
couldn't care less about.Copy !req
131. That's what most teenagers
care about.Copy !req
132. Yeah, exactly.Copy !req
133. For example, the Delena spider,
family Sparassidae, has the ability...Copy !req
134. This is very typical...Copy !req
135. you know, sweet, smart,
underdog character...Copy !req
136. and getting picked on here.Copy !req
137. - Right. And big, mean Joe.
- Right.Copy !req
138. Flash Thompson.Copy !req
139. That's the other thing about this,
I had such a good time...Copy !req
140. because everybody in the film...Copy !req
141. like these guys, were great
and they were a lot of fun.Copy !req
142. And I just say, that all comes
from Sam again, in my opinion.Copy !req
143. Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
144. I was gonna say... This is
the Sam Raimi butt-kissing hour...Copy !req
145. but it's really true.Copy !req
146. You know, he does
a great job of hiring...Copy !req
147. not only people who are gonna be
really good at their job...Copy !req
148. but people that, you know,
you can spend a few months with...Copy !req
149. and really collaborate with
and have a good time with.Copy !req
150. The whole process before we started
shooting, for a couple months...Copy !req
151. I mean, I trained physically
for four or five months...Copy !req
152. but the whole process
of getting in a room...Copy !req
153. with the different actors
and Sam...Copy !req
154. And we would go through,
scene by scene...Copy !req
155. and break down the scenes
and what they meant...Copy !req
156. for our characters,
and what place they had in the film...Copy !req
157. and in our characters' arcs...Copy !req
158. was a great process because
it gets us all on the same page...Copy !req
159. and we're all going in to make
the same movie with the same tone.Copy !req
160. And we all felt like...Copy !req
161. we were partners
in making the film.Copy !req
162. We were filmmakers and not just
hired puppets to come in and...Copy !req
163. - Come in and say the lines. Yeah.
- Right.Copy !req
164. So that's always nice
because I can see my...Copy !req
165. You know, my handprint
on the movie here and there...Copy !req
166. beyond just my performance,
which is a lot of fun.Copy !req
167. Yeah, it was really a very...Copy !req
168. Especially considering the big-budget,
blockbuster nature of it...Copy !req
169. it was a very collaborative,
supportive, fun kind of project.Copy !req
170. Genetically designed super-spiders.Copy !req
171. There's 14.Copy !req
172. I beg your pardon?Copy !req
173. - One's missing.
- Yeah.Copy !req
174. I guess the researchers
are working on that one.Copy !req
175. There's James snaking my girl.Copy !req
176. You were talking throughout
that woman's entire presentation.Copy !req
177. Let's go talk about how we listen.Copy !req
178. - Come on, go for it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
179. Getting the nerve.Copy !req
180. I think that's a moment
that we can all identify with...Copy !req
181. - ... from adolescent days or beyond.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
182. Well, I do wanna say that
this is acting for me at this point.Copy !req
183. - Sure.
- Great.Copy !req
184. Where do you want me? Over here?Copy !req
185. Yeah, that's great.Copy !req
186. Don't make me look ugly.Copy !req
187. She's great. She's just so natural.Copy !req
188. So believable and solid,
but fun and funny.Copy !req
189. Something I love is,
she doesn't work with vanity...Copy !req
190. and she's not...
She doesn't really care, you know.Copy !req
191. She's not, like, cautious or vain...Copy !req
192. or looking at herself, self-conscious.
She just goes for it and...Copy !req
193. is there
to have a good time and...Copy !req
194. Oh, here's the one.Copy !req
195. Here's the little guy
that sets the whole mess in motion.Copy !req
196. What is in this thing?Copy !req
197. What is in that little guy?Copy !req
198. By the way, that wasn't my hand.Copy !req
199. That was not my thumbnail.Copy !req
200. And I know I'm blowing
the magic of movies there...Copy !req
201. but that was not my thumbnail.Copy !req
202. So a hand model got a day at work?Copy !req
203. I don't know who that was.Copy !req
204. - That was probably Sam. Yeah.
- Sam Raimi.Copy !req
205. Now see that thumbnail?Copy !req
206. - Oh, that's not...?
- That's mine.Copy !req
207. How strange.Copy !req
208. "New species."Copy !req
209. OSCORP, the empire of evil.Copy !req
210. We solved the horizon glide
and the multi-G balance issues.Copy !req
211. I feel bad things for this guy.Copy !req
212. Something's gonna happen.Copy !req
213. Mr. Balkan, Mr. Fargas.Copy !req
214. - Norman.
- Mr. Osborn.Copy !req
215. Always a pleasure to have
our board of directors visit.Copy !req
216. I want to see the progress report
on human performance enhancers.Copy !req
217. We tried vapor inhalation with rats.
Their strength increased by 800%.Copy !req
218. - Excellent.
- Any side effects?Copy !req
219. In one trial, yes.Copy !req
220. An aberration. All the tests since
have been successful.Copy !req
221. In Mr. Osborn's defense, you know...Copy !req
222. this guy could be
a little more understanding...Copy !req
223. a little more compassionate.Copy !req
224. They're working on
some pretty serious stuff.Copy !req
225. The military is known
for their compassion...Copy !req
226. - ... and understanding.
- Absolutely.Copy !req
227. Very empathetic.Copy !req
228. Let's talk it out.Copy !req
229. We need to take the whole line
back to formula.Copy !req
230. - Back to formula?
- Dr. Osborn.Copy !req
231. I'll be frank with you.Copy !req
232. I never supported your program. We
have my predecessor to thank for that.Copy !req
233. The general has approved
Quest Aerospace...Copy !req
234. to build a prototype
of their exoskeleton design.Copy !req
235. - They test in two weeks.
- And if your performance enhancers...Copy !req
236. have not had a successful
human trial by that date...Copy !req
237. I'm gonna pull your funding.Copy !req
238. One of the conversations
I had with Sam early on...Copy !req
239. before I even knew
if I wanted to do the film...Copy !req
240. was, you know,
what's the tone of this film gonna be?Copy !req
241. Is it gonna...?Copy !req
242. Are we gonna try to make it
as believable as possible...Copy !req
243. and have the fantasy
come out of characters...Copy !req
244. that are grounded
and based in a reality...Copy !req
245. or is it just gonna be...Copy !req
246. you know,
a big, fun comic-book movie?Copy !req
247. I said,
"Because I'd be interested in it...Copy !req
248. if it was coming out
of real characters and truth."Copy !req
249. And that's where
he was coming from.Copy !req
250. And he was describing
the tone of it to me and...Copy !req
251. Well, Sam was a big Spider-Man fan
as a kid too.Copy !req
252. I don't know if you were.Copy !req
253. I was not, but Sam apparently was
a gigantic Spider-Man fan...Copy !req
254. with the thing hanging above...Copy !req
255. like a poster or a painting
hanging above his bed...Copy !req
256. and he read.Copy !req
257. But I went back and read about
the first four years of issues...Copy !req
258. - ... which is the period that Sam read.
- Yeah.Copy !req
259. You know, the early stuff.Copy !req
260. Basically, that's sort of
what the film covers too.Copy !req
261. - Yeah.
- The creation of Spider-Man...Copy !req
262. - ... and the beginning of...
- The origin story.Copy !req
263. I hear there might be a sequel.Copy !req
264. - Really?
- Yes.Copy !req
265. When are they
talking about making that?Copy !req
266. Some time in the spring, I think.Copy !req
267. I hear, like, late March
they're gonna go into production.Copy !req
268. I guess we're hearing
the same vague rumors then, yeah.Copy !req
269. I think every other May, there'll be
a new Spider-Man movie for...Copy !req
270. That's the idea.Copy !req
271. For the next couple decades
or so.Copy !req
272. I'm gonna have to, you know...Copy !req
273. They'll have to recast me
as Uncle Ben one of these days.Copy !req
274. Now, I do wanna say,
this effect, which was brilliant...Copy !req
275. I do wanna clarify
that this is not my body...Copy !req
276. the skinny dude.Copy !req
277. They had me walk...Copy !req
278. Or they had the kid walk
and then I had to match his walk.Copy !req
279. This recombination lab,
we use synthesized...Copy !req
280. And they somehow
put my head on his body.Copy !req
281. It was pretty clever.Copy !req
282. combining the genetic
information from all three spiders...Copy !req
283. My nose looks pretty...Copy !req
284. - Nostrils are pretty clear.
- Always a nice shot.Copy !req
285. - Yeah.
- Is that your skull there in that shot?Copy !req
286. That's not my actual skull.Copy !req
287. Something's happening.Copy !req
288. Seems like more than a dream.Copy !req
289. Yeah, all those effects
were just genius.Copy !req
290. I guess they spent
a little time on that...Copy !req
291. - ... after we got done with our jobs.
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
292. Now, I'm asking you for the last time.
We can't do this.Copy !req
293. A lot of the questions that I find
that I get from people in the street...Copy !req
294. always have to do with the...Copy !req
295. Not always, sometimes have to do
with the technical aspects of it.Copy !req
296. And often people are asking me,
like I have a clue:Copy !req
297. "How did they do that thing
with the...?" You know.Copy !req
298. - I'm not sure. Right.
- I just, you know...Copy !req
299. say my lines and try not to waste
anybody's time too much.Copy !req
300. It begins catalyzation when the vapor
hits the bloodstream.Copy !req
301. It's amazing how long it takes
to do all that stuff too.Copy !req
302. 40,000 years of evolution...Copy !req
303. and we've barely tapped
the vastness of human potential.Copy !req
304. This is a pretty interesting idea
for a villain actually...Copy !req
305. you know,
human performance enhancers.Copy !req
306. Yeah. It certainly resonates...Copy !req
307. in a lot of different aspects
of real life.Copy !req
308. Oh, that's cold.Copy !req
309. A guy facing losing his company
and everything he's built...Copy !req
310. and all his work
that he cares personally about...Copy !req
311. These are some of the things that I,
you know...Copy !req
312. That I thought would be tricky...Copy !req
313. things to handle
that were handled pretty well.Copy !req
314. Because that's where you can
really lose me in a film like this.Copy !req
315. Being like a big action-y,
superhero film, you know.Copy !req
316. Right, what are the themes
that it's...?Copy !req
317. - What's it about besides...?
- Right.Copy !req
318. It's not just like,
"Oh, a superhero, supervillain"...Copy !req
319. but there's personal stuff
going on for these characters.Copy !req
320. That's one of the things you always
look for, or at least I do, that...Copy !req
321. Especially playing a bad guy.
You know, is he just, you know...Copy !req
322. a two-dimensional,
quote, unquote, bad guy or is he...Copy !req
323. a human being that could be...?
Who's coming from somewhere?Copy !req
324. Yeah, nothing interesting
about the other...Copy !req
325. And Willem, obviously,
I mean, you know...Copy !req
326. He does...Copy !req
327. You wonder if, does he
make parts really fascinating...Copy !req
328. or, you know, is he...Copy !req
329. - Or is it written like that? Right.
- ... drawn to only the really...Copy !req
330. quirky, interesting parts?Copy !req
331. - Probably a little bit of both, you know.
- Yeah.Copy !req
332. It's always...Copy !req
333. hard for me
to go beyond the material.Copy !req
334. I've just been fortunate,
I think and...Copy !req
335. Selective and fortunate
to work on good things.Copy !req
336. Yeah, that's really it.
It's both of those.Copy !req
337. Yeah, and this was what
I love so much. It's like...Copy !req
338. a bunch of art-house people...Copy !req
339. - ... making a big movie, you know?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.Copy !req
340. A little late for school.Copy !req
341. I'm 27 now but...Copy !req
342. This was a great touch,
with the glasses.Copy !req
343. - This is great.
- I don't remember...Copy !req
344. if that's directly from the script,
or if that was...Copy !req
345. I don't recall. Yeah.Copy !req
346. But there were a lot of those
really nice little touches.Copy !req
347. And the "Oh, by the way,
what the hell is my head on top of?"Copy !req
348. - Tobey's been doing his sit-ups.
- Yeah.Copy !req
349. That was five months of six days
a week, four hours a day...Copy !req
350. - ... nutritionists, trainers...
- Right, for about eight seconds of...Copy !req
351. - Right.
- Plus all the stunts and stuff...Copy !req
352. and looking good in the suit but...Copy !req
353. This is the thing that I think...Copy !req
354. helps you buy it
for the rest of the movie.Copy !req
355. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
356. I also did yoga for flexibility...Copy !req
357. and martial arts and gymnastics.Copy !req
358. What martial arts?Copy !req
359. - Tae Kwon do or...?
- No.Copy !req
360. This guy, Steven Ho,
who was my martial arts trainer...Copy !req
361. - That was fun, that little stunt there.
- Yeah.Copy !req
362. Yeah, now that was...
There was no effect.Copy !req
363. - No effect.
- You did the deal?Copy !req
364. They had a little lip for me to...Copy !req
365. The top hand,
I had a little lip to grab onto...Copy !req
366. and, yeah, just did it.Copy !req
367. - It was simple but fun.
- Yeah. No, that was great.Copy !req
368. And there were obviously a lot of
stunts and things that were done...Copy !req
369. digitally and all that, but I thought
that was a great little moment.Copy !req
370. Well, we discussed it too...Copy !req
371. because we were talking about
maybe doing a flip or this or that...Copy !req
372. and I said, "You know,
let's just do something...Copy !req
373. that comes out of his energy."Copy !req
374. The discussion wasn't just me,
but the discussion was:Copy !req
375. "Let's do something that comes
out of his newfound energy...Copy !req
376. - ... that wasn't too elaborate."
- Right.Copy !req
377. And also if they caught him doing it,
it would be strange, but...Copy !req
378. not like "Oh, you did
a double flip off of the staircase."Copy !req
379. - Like, "What's up?"
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
380. Hey, M.J.Copy !req
381. This is a part we really wanted to...
Not this scene...Copy !req
382. but this section of the movie...Copy !req
383. just build it slowly, the discovery...Copy !req
384. confusion...Copy !req
385. fear and then acceptance...Copy !req
386. - ... of his newfound powers.
- Oh, of the powers, yeah.Copy !req
387. Probably my favorite part
of the film.Copy !req
388. Yeah, this is a great sequence.Copy !req
389. And actually, you know,
when I first saw it, I was...Copy !req
390. unclear about when you slap
the side of the bus right there...Copy !req
391. and it comes off in your hand.
I thought, "Oh, why did that...?"Copy !req
392. It wasn't until a minute later,
I went:Copy !req
393. - "Oh, because of the spiderweb."
- Yeah.Copy !req
394. The little hairs that come out
of the...Copy !req
395. But he doesn't know
what's going on there.Copy !req
396. He being me playing him in there.Copy !req
397. There's a really great pace
to the movie too.Copy !req
398. Putting the different elements
together...Copy !req
399. putting the different plots
together. You know, the way...Copy !req
400. Sam and the editors out...Copy !req
401. between your plot
and Willem's plot here...Copy !req
402. and ultimately, the newspaper office
and all the other fun places.Copy !req
403. There's a great piece they put in there
with that little scary moment.Copy !req
404. - The whole theater jumped.
- Yeah.Copy !req
405. But I agree with you.Copy !req
406. But this is all really just setup
to getting...Copy !req
407. to your character,
J. Jonah Jameson.Copy !req
408. To the real central character
in the film.Copy !req
409. This is just...Copy !req
410. you know, all back-story,
so they can see what is really...Copy !req
411. That's one of the things
that was so remarkable to me...Copy !req
412. about how well done
this film is, is that...Copy !req
413. there was so much exposition.Copy !req
414. You know, really meeting
all these characters for the first time...Copy !req
415. and really taking time
to get to know them.Copy !req
416. - Oh, this was very cool too.
- Yeah, I love this stunt. It was fun.Copy !req
417. I heard that took you three takes
to get all those things right.Copy !req
418. You know what?Copy !req
419. They were gonna do that digitally
and...Copy !req
420. Someone came up with the idea...Copy !req
421. of standing above the camera
and dropping all that stuff...Copy !req
422. and hoping it landed right.Copy !req
423. And I think we saved them
a bunch of money.Copy !req
424. - Are you kidding me?
- Swear to God.Copy !req
425. - I had no idea.
- We gave it a shot, you know.Copy !req
426. I held the tray
and he dropped stuff...Copy !req
427. and I had to move the tray around
and it just landed so we could...Copy !req
428. I had assumed that
that was done digitally.Copy !req
429. No.Copy !req
430. It was not.Copy !req
431. Because I'm a Method actor,
I actually have webbing in my wrist.Copy !req
432. - You had that surgically implanted?
- Yes.Copy !req
433. - You're intense, man.
- Yeah, very.Copy !req
434. No, they had his...
Well, that's real but some of the...Copy !req
435. This was a very funny sequence.
And then the...Copy !req
436. - Yeah, the tray trailing behind you.
- Yeah.Copy !req
437. Parker?Copy !req
438. - A little prop acting there.
- Yeah.Copy !req
439. It worked.Copy !req
440. This was a sequence that...Copy !req
441. I had no idea
what it was gonna end up like...Copy !req
442. but the idea of it...Copy !req
443. - ... sounded cool.
- Yeah.Copy !req
444. The first time we really see
the Spidey-sense.Copy !req
445. - It's a fight!
- Think you're pretty funny, freak?Copy !req
446. There was so many
of those specialty shots and...Copy !req
447. - Come on, Flash, stop.
- I don't wanna fight you, Flash.Copy !req
448. - I wouldn't wanna fight me neither.
- Kick his ass.Copy !req
449. Help him, Harry.Copy !req
450. How'd he do that?Copy !req
451. So did you work on that stuff,
that triple backward flip there?Copy !req
452. I actually did and I...Copy !req
453. I can't say that I did it as well
as the stuntman...Copy !req
454. or anything like that...Copy !req
455. but I was working
with my gymnastics coach...Copy !req
456. and getting in the harness
and doing double backflips.Copy !req
457. I never did a triple,
but I did some double backflips.Copy !req
458. And I could pull them.Copy !req
459. Sometimes the landings
weren't really smooth.Copy !req
460. - You didn't stick the landing?
- Yeah.Copy !req
461. One thing that worked well
about the movie...Copy !req
462. but about this sequence is...Copy !req
463. real Spider-Man fans who had...Copy !req
464. all the knowledge about
the intricate details of this...Copy !req
465. really appreciated
the attention to detail.Copy !req
466. And people who didn't know
Spider-Man...Copy !req
467. who were just going
to see a movie...Copy !req
468. didn't feel they were
out of the loop.Copy !req
469. - Yup.
- Because it all developed so well.Copy !req
470. - Yeah. This is fun.
- This is great.Copy !req
471. Yeah, I went to this...Copy !req
472. convention, a sci-fi convention...Copy !req
473. and people were so excited
when we showed them...Copy !req
474. the scene in the cafeteria.Copy !req
475. And they couldn't be more jazzed.Copy !req
476. And, you know, like you said,
we were making the film for...Copy !req
477. people who really knew
the comic book...Copy !req
478. as well as people
who had no idea.Copy !req
479. Right.Copy !req
480. This was fun. I was actually...Copy !req
481. Well, there I was on the roof...Copy !req
482. and they had me on a wire
jumping down.Copy !req
483. But the other stuff,
jumping from buildings...Copy !req
484. I was in a parking lot...Copy !req
485. with this huge green screen
behind me...Copy !req
486. and a rig above me
that had wires hooked up.Copy !req
487. And I was running
and they would yank me up about...Copy !req
488. Go, web!Copy !req
489. This was Sam's idea.Copy !req
490. Just completely his idea.
And I was like, "Sam, are you sure?Copy !req
491. You know, if it's not good,
please don't leave it in the movie.Copy !req
492. Because I'm really putting myself
out there."Copy !req
493. Everybody that works with Sam
has a few of those moments.Copy !req
494. - Right.
- "You really want me to...?Copy !req
495. Well, okay."Copy !req
496. I just went for it and...Copy !req
497. Yeah, it's great. This is one
of the big laughs in the movie.Copy !req
498. Yeah, it was fun.Copy !req
499. It was good. And that's why
I like working with people...Copy !req
500. who I feel like I trust.
You know, I like their films.Copy !req
501. I appreciate them as a filmmaker.Copy !req
502. So then it gives me more freedom
to try things.Copy !req
503. It's so important not to have that voice
in the back of your head warning you:Copy !req
504. - Right.
- "You can't really trust this guy.Copy !req
505. - You're gonna look like an idiot."
- Yeah.Copy !req
506. So I've been very fortunate
during my whole career.Copy !req
507. And with Sam it's great.Copy !req
508. And I'm very excited
that he's doing the next one.Copy !req
509. Yeah.Copy !req
510. - I'll say that hurt.
- Yeah?Copy !req
511. That hurt.Copy !req
512. Some things actually hurt
on this movie.Copy !req
513. And I will say that the stuntmen
who were doubling me...Copy !req
514. some of the real Spider-men...Copy !req
515. probably had a few... Or did have a
few more bumps and bruises than I did.Copy !req
516. - Yeah.
- But I got my share too.Copy !req
517. And they did a great job...Copy !req
518. and not only
did the more risky things...Copy !req
519. but also helped me choreograph
some of the moves when I was doing it.Copy !req
520. Yeah. That's another
part of what's collaborative about it.Copy !req
521. It's not like,
"Tobey's gonna go sit in his trailer...Copy !req
522. while the stuntman comes in."Copy !req
523. - Right.
- You guys worked together...Copy !req
524. on making that transition smooth.Copy !req
525. - Why don't you do them?
- Get in here and do the dishes.Copy !req
526. Was this in Queens? This location?Copy !req
527. I think so.Copy !req
528. It was somewhere in New York.
They put you in a vehicle...Copy !req
529. and took you there and...Copy !req
530. - Yeah.
- It was across a bridge.Copy !req
531. Yeah.Copy !req
532. I know there was a Laundromat
down the street.Copy !req
533. Did you get a little laundry done
between shots?Copy !req
534. No, but I sat in there,
watched a basketball game.Copy !req
535. - Yeah?
- I did, yeah.Copy !req
536. I, of course, live in New York,
and all of my scenes...Copy !req
537. which were to take place
in New York were shot in L.A.Copy !req
538. In Los Angeles. Of course.Copy !req
539. Yeah. Do you like Los Angeles?Copy !req
540. I do not like Los Angeles.Copy !req
541. You do not like Los Angeles.Copy !req
542. I love New York.Copy !req
543. My wife and I discuss moving out
to the West Coast once in a while...Copy !req
544. - ... because her family is out here.
- Yeah.Copy !req
545. And I've steadfastly resisted
thus far...Copy !req
546. but we'll see. You know.Copy !req
547. - You have to spend time in both.
- Yeah, you do.Copy !req
548. Not to get too specific,
but you live in Manhattan?Copy !req
549. Lived in Manhattan for a long time...Copy !req
550. and then when our family grew,
we moved out to the burbs.Copy !req
551. I see. Very good.Copy !req
552. I love visiting New York.Copy !req
553. I wanna...Copy !req
554. act...Copy !req
555. on-stage.Copy !req
556. This is really the scene where...Copy !req
557. I think Kirsten's character
is really a good character...Copy !req
558. and she has a really good arc.Copy !req
559. And that she's a little bit of a typical...
I don't wanna say "typical."Copy !req
560. She's got the thing I can relate to...Copy !req
561. which is being in school
and really wanting to be popular.Copy !req
562. - Wanting to belong to the cool group.
- Right.Copy !req
563. And she gets involved with people
maybe for the wrong reasons.Copy !req
564. And she hasn't thus far,
in her home life or in school...Copy !req
565. felt like anybody
has appreciated her...Copy !req
566. or understood her...Copy !req
567. or she's felt like she could
open up or trust anyone.Copy !req
568. And Peter...Copy !req
569. you know, is a pretty open kid.Copy !req
570. And really
has been infatuated with her...Copy !req
571. since he was 6 years old...Copy !req
572. so to have the opportunity
to be one-on-one like this...Copy !req
573. and look at her and say,
"I'm here to listen and understand...Copy !req
574. and care.Copy !req
575. And whatever your troubles are...Copy !req
576. you can share them with me
and trust me."Copy !req
577. And he's very supportive
and encouraging.Copy !req
578. It's so great also in a quote-unquote
action movie, a superhero movie...Copy !req
579. to actually have
extended scenes like this...Copy !req
580. that are really about the interaction
between these two kids...Copy !req
581. and not just there to set up
the next car chase or whatever.Copy !req
582. In so many movies today...Copy !req
583. it's like your longest scene...Copy !req
584. is 30 seconds or something,
you know.Copy !req
585. You're doing
a one-and-a-half page scene...Copy !req
586. and it's your big scene, you know.Copy !req
587. I actually have to memorize
a couple of lines for...Copy !req
588. Yeah, this and the scene later
in the hospital.Copy !req
589. A lot of nice little scenes
with you and Kirsten.Copy !req
590. And the rain of course.Copy !req
591. Yeah.Copy !req
592. And this was derived...Copy !req
593. from the actual comic books.Copy !req
594. - Him doing the wrestling match.
- Right.Copy !req
595. Of course, this is you
doing all the artwork?Copy !req
596. The drawing. Oh, yes, of course.Copy !req
597. No. And to be honest with you,
I'm not even sure who...Copy !req
598. - That same hand guy.
- Right.Copy !req
599. - The same guy that got bit.
- Same guy.Copy !req
600. You know...Copy !req
601. This is a real credit to Sam
and the editors I think.Copy !req
602. Because this is obviously
something they put together that...Copy !req
603. - ... goes into his mind and...
- Right.Copy !req
604. you know, becomes whimsical...Copy !req
605. but it's supported with what's
going on with the character.Copy !req
606. That's the kind of thing,
when you're shooting it...Copy !req
607. it's one of those tedious days
where, "Now we're gonna do a shot...Copy !req
608. - ... of you looking at your notebook."
- Right. Exactly.Copy !req
609. And it all gets put together
and it's all worth it.Copy !req
610. And Rosemary Harris,
who is so wonderful.Copy !req
611. Oh, I love her.Copy !req
612. She's great.Copy !req
613. I've actually done a couple movies
that she was in...Copy !req
614. with Sam directing,
and never worked with her, you know.Copy !req
615. - Never had a scene with her.
- Yeah, she was in The Gift.Copy !req
616. Something else or it was just The Gift?Copy !req
617. That's the only other time
that I've been in a film with her.Copy !req
618. And here's an example of...Copy !req
619. another character
who's really progressed...Copy !req
620. in terms of the superhero
and supervillain...Copy !req
621. at a similar rate.Copy !req
622. - Yeah, right.
- Which is what you were talking about.Copy !req
623. Something's bothering him. Maybe
he's too embarrassed to tell me.Copy !req
624. Maybe I'm too embarrassed
to ask him.Copy !req
625. I just don't know anymore.Copy !req
626. Cliff was very much into the part...Copy !req
627. and it's a very important part
as Uncle Ben for Peter Parker.Copy !req
628. And...Copy !req
629. He just worked really hard
and would come up with...Copy !req
630. He would write stuff
to either support scenes...Copy !req
631. or as alternative dialogue...Copy !req
632. and it was great.
He's a really poetic guy.Copy !req
633. And he's a father himself,
so he was...Copy !req
634. Because we haven't talked
for so long...Copy !req
635. He seems like he would be
a cool dad.Copy !req
636. You shirk your chores.
You have all those...Copy !req
637. Yeah, this is such a pivotal scene
in the movie.Copy !req
638. If you don't love this guy
and appreciate what he's saying...Copy !req
639. and buy into this whole thing,
then...Copy !req
640. I mean, this becomes
Peter's motivation, really...Copy !req
641. for who Spider-Man is.Copy !req
642. Yeah, and like you say, it's also...Copy !req
643. I mean if you're a Spider-Man fan...Copy !req
644. Oh, sorry. That was
one of the great jokes too.Copy !req
645. "I know, I know. I know the changes
you're going through."Copy !req
646. Yeah, yeah, kind of.Copy !req
647. He says, "I went through exactly..."
No, not exactly.Copy !req
648. - A little different.
- Right.Copy !req
649. But if you're a Spider-Man fan,
then you see all this stuff coming.Copy !req
650. You know what the guy's
gotta say in this scene.Copy !req
651. But I think that's what's so great,
is it really felt like...Copy !req
652. organic and natural and...Copy !req
653. Are you afraid I'll become a criminal?Copy !req
654. And I'm gonna go ahead and say...Copy !req
655. that was also
Sam's great choice in casting...Copy !req
656. in particular the guy who plays
Peter Parker-slash-Spider-Man.Copy !req
657. Indeed.Copy !req
658. - Just kidding.
- That's one of the things...Copy !req
659. that Sam does so well, you know.Copy !req
660. Get the right people
for the right parts.Copy !req
661. Little red sweatshirt coming out
of the back of the jeans.Copy !req
662. Little subtle touch
that probably most people...Copy !req
663. didn't see there.Copy !req
664. Yeah, I'd be among
those most people that missed that.Copy !req
665. Including you, yeah.Copy !req
666. This was the first...Copy !req
667. big sequence we shot. We shot
some stuff in my bedroom first.Copy !req
668. And then came...Copy !req
669. The shirt-off scene
was the first day of work.Copy !req
670. - Oh, really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
671. But then this was like...Copy !req
672. the next couple weeks
or something.Copy !req
673. Or next 10 days.
And we had a huge crowd...Copy !req
674. and it was fun working with...Copy !req
675. "Macho Man" Randy Savage.Copy !req
676. Because he knows
how to work crowds.Copy !req
677. And these are extras
who signed up and were excited...Copy !req
678. but after four or five days
of sitting around...Copy !req
679. with their brown paper-bag lunches,
it's like...Copy !req
680. - The novelty kind of wears off.
- Yeah, the novelty wears off.Copy !req
681. And he would perform for them...Copy !req
682. and he would get me in
on the action.Copy !req
683. He would whisper things to me,
"Okay, now do this and do that."Copy !req
684. - And I would, you know...
- You would do it, of course...Copy !req
685. - ... because you're not stupid.
- Right.Copy !req
686. And the guy's arm
is bigger than my chest.Copy !req
687. No, no. Sign me up.Copy !req
688. - This is a funny character here too.
- Yeah.Copy !req
689. Understand the NYWL is not
responsible for any injury you may and...Copy !req
690. "Probably Will." Yeah.Copy !req
691. And you're participating
under your own free will?Copy !req
692. Yes.Copy !req
693. Down the hall to the ramp.
May God be with you. Next.Copy !req
694. Told you! Told you!Copy !req
695. Winner!Copy !req
696. Next victim!Copy !req
697. Yeah, I think this is the first part
of the movie where...Copy !req
698. I'm covering
my 4-year-old's eyes...Copy !req
699. - ... when we were watching it.
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
700. I'm surprised sometimes
that people are like:Copy !req
701. "Oh, yeah, my 3-year-old
loved the movie."Copy !req
702. - I'm like, "Really? Okay."
- Yeah.Copy !req
703. One of the nice things
about the flavor of the movie...Copy !req
704. Certainly that last sequence with
you and Willem gets pretty intense...Copy !req
705. but it's not too scary...Copy !req
706. for a 9-, or 10-, or 11-
or 12-year-old.Copy !req
707. No, my little guy has actually
only seen a few selected scenes.Copy !req
708. - Portions of it.
- But I gotta tell you, in all honesty...Copy !req
709. - ... he's a huge Spider-Man fan.
- Yeah?Copy !req
710. He's jumping off the bunk bed
just like Spider-Man!Copy !req
711. - He was Spider-Man for Halloween.
- Oh, yes.Copy !req
712. Completely uncoerced, I promise.Copy !req
713. This is Sam Raimi here
I'm talking to.Copy !req
714. - That's his hand. That's Sam.
- Okay, all right.Copy !req
715. That's his Alfred Hitchcock
appearance.Copy !req
716. - Exactly.
- Excellent.Copy !req
717. I did not know that either.Copy !req
718. We were all encouraging him,
"You have to do it."Copy !req
719. He was throwing stuff at me.
He loves to get involved like that.Copy !req
720. He was one of the people
throwing popcorn.Copy !req
721. And later he throws rocks at me
and all kinds of stuff.Copy !req
722. Fake rocks, but...Copy !req
723. And he would tell people, "Really,
no, throw it right in his face."Copy !req
724. And I love that Bruce Campbell...Copy !req
725. who is...Copy !req
726. Who Sam has worked with
numerous times...Copy !req
727. is the guy
who introduces Spider-Man...Copy !req
728. and gives Spider-Man his name.Copy !req
729. A little good piece of history
for them, you know?Copy !req
730. Bruce told me,
he was one of the first to warn me:Copy !req
731. "Listen, Sam likes to get involved.Copy !req
732. He likes to throw things at you."
He was, like...Copy !req
733. He kept prodding him with a stick
in one of the Evil Dead movies.Copy !req
734. - There's Bruce right there.
- Yeah.Copy !req
735. This is some kind of mistake.
I didn't sign up for a cage match!Copy !req
736. He doesn't really know what the extent
of his powers are right now, you know?Copy !req
737. He just wants the girl. He wants
to make the three grand to buy the car.Copy !req
738. Basically everybody's motivation
at that age, pretty much.Copy !req
739. - At that age?
- Yeah, okay, sorry.Copy !req
740. - Does it change?
- I forget, you're still a young pup.Copy !req
741. I'm 27. Does it change?Copy !req
742. You tell me because I know...Copy !req
743. - ... you're a couple years older.
- No, it doesn't change.Copy !req
744. - When the kids come along...
- Right.Copy !req
745. it's slightly different. But I'm 47
and I still try and impress...Copy !req
746. - ... my wife once in a while.
- There you go.Copy !req
747. How long did
this whole sequence take?Copy !req
748. I don't recall exactly.
I feel like it was like a week or so.Copy !req
749. And this was a chair
made of a different material...Copy !req
750. but was like an aluminum.
So it was still a metal.Copy !req
751. - They would...
- And he was still...Copy !req
752. - ... wailing on you.
- He would bang you...Copy !req
753. but it didn't really...
He would just kind of pop it.Copy !req
754. - Like he hits and then pulls back.
- Yeah.Copy !req
755. But I always like
a little contact because...Copy !req
756. it gives me something to react to.Copy !req
757. Oh, yeah, there's nothing worse
than a stunt fight where there's...Copy !req
758. You're really having to fake it.Copy !req
759. There's one thing worse,
getting hurt badly.Copy !req
760. - Right.Copy !req
761. And those bars had some kind of
metal inside of them...Copy !req
762. and were just padded.
But I think, you know...Copy !req
763. I think he was feeling
a little bruised up after that stuff.Copy !req
764. See, that's such a great shot there.Copy !req
765. And Sam stays on your eyes maybe
twice as long as a lot of guys would.Copy !req
766. - Yeah.
- But it's all worth it.Copy !req
767. Now get out of here.Copy !req
768. A hundred bucks'?
The ad said 3000.Copy !req
769. Well, check it again, webhead.Copy !req
770. It said three grand for three minutes.
You pinned him in two.Copy !req
771. For that, I give you 100.
You're lucky to get that.Copy !req
772. I need that money.Copy !req
773. I missed the part
where that's my problem.Copy !req
774. - Hey, what the hell...?
- Put the money in the bag.Copy !req
775. Hurry UP!Copy !req
776. Hey! He stole the gate!Copy !req
777. Stop that guy!Copy !req
778. Stop him! He's got my money!Copy !req
779. Thanks.Copy !req
780. What's the hell's the matter with you?
You let him go!Copy !req
781. Cut him off in the lobby
and call the cops!Copy !req
782. You could've taken that guy apart.
Now he'll get away with my money.Copy !req
783. I missed the part
where that's my problem.Copy !req
784. A little vindictive there.Copy !req
785. Pleased with himself.Copy !req
786. Now, that's where people who
don't know the plot of Spider-Man...Copy !req
787. are thinking:Copy !req
788. "Yeah, okay, that was kind of glib
and kind of clever.Copy !req
789. But I'm not sure if I'm liking
what this guy's doing right there."Copy !req
790. Yeah. Well, that's
what I like about it too.Copy !req
791. It's, again, different layers
to a character.Copy !req
792. He's not just...Copy !req
793. You know, he's a normal person
who makes mistakes.Copy !req
794. Right. Yeah, yeah.
He makes bad choices and is not...Copy !req
795. This is just...Copy !req
796. - What happened?
- Carjacker. He's been shot.Copy !req
797. We just called the paramedics.
They're on their way.Copy !req
798. Uncle Ben?Copy !req
799. Uncle Ben.Copy !req
800. Uncle Ben?Copy !req
801. Peter.Copy !req
802. I'm here, Uncle Ben.Copy !req
803. Peter.Copy !req
804. They got the shooter.
He's headed south on Fifth Avenue.Copy !req
805. We got three cars in pursuit.
All right, folks. Come on, move back.Copy !req
806. - That's a great transition.
- Yeah.Copy !req
807. - No.
- Yeah, how was that...Copy !req
808. wall-climbing effect done?Copy !req
809. That would be John Dykstra
and his team of magicians...Copy !req
810. animating...Copy !req
811. Animating that sequence.Copy !req
812. Which I'm not sure
why it was animated exactly.Copy !req
813. I feel like it could have...Copy !req
814. But some of this stuff is
pretty amazing that they did. It's...Copy !req
815. This was green screen,
they shot me.Copy !req
816. And then they probably shot some
kind of plate shot for this.Copy !req
817. I don't even remember
how we did all this.Copy !req
818. You're going between
live-action and animation.Copy !req
819. - Yeah. Exactly.
- And it's really... You know...Copy !req
820. I've never been a huge fan
of the computer animation...Copy !req
821. but it really... It's getting...Copy !req
822. - It's getting pretty good now.
- Yeah.Copy !req
823. Really, it's pretty seamless
in this movie.Copy !req
824. It's certainly the best
that I've seen in any of...Copy !req
825. the movies I've seen
with computer animation.Copy !req
826. It's pretty great. You're
dealing with the progression...Copy !req
827. - ... of how good Peter is here.
- Right.Copy !req
828. Because, you know,
he's a little awkward and his...Copy !req
829. The way his body moves around.
And he slowly gets the hang of it.Copy !req
830. And part of this,
I was actually on a car.Copy !req
831. And Michael Papa john was actually
shooting live rounds at you or...?Copy !req
832. They weren't live rounds, no.
They were...Copy !req
833. I'm not sure exactly.Copy !req
834. That would be animated.Copy !req
835. You didn't do that jump?Copy !req
836. No.Copy !req
837. But then I was there
on the car moving.Copy !req
838. That stuff was a lot of fun for me.Copy !req
839. Very different stuff for me,
different than anything I'd ever done.Copy !req
840. And it was fun to do that.Copy !req
841. I think that's one of the things that
almost every actor I've worked with...Copy !req
842. You know, there's... Again we
hearken back to that 9-year-old boy...Copy !req
843. part of you. Just to be running
around, jumping on stuff.Copy !req
844. And doing action sequences
and fights.Copy !req
845. You know, that's part of the fantasy
about being in the movies...Copy !req
846. - ... that you had when you were a kid.
- Exactly.Copy !req
847. To be, like, stimulated creatively
as an adult...Copy !req
848. and get to play as a child
in the playground, like:Copy !req
849. "Oh, I get to be
in a superhero movie, you know?Copy !req
850. Oh, that's cool."Copy !req
851. You know, and do,
like, action sequences.Copy !req
852. Don't hurt me. Give me a chance.
Give me a chance!Copy !req
853. What about my uncle?
Did you give him a chance? Did you?Copy !req
854. And here he realizes that
he is responsible or feels responsible...Copy !req
855. - ... for his uncle's death.
- Right.Copy !req
856. His actions have come back
to haunt him.Copy !req
857. See you.Copy !req
858. Freeze! We've got the place
completely surrounded.Copy !req
859. They actually built the falcon thing
I'm sitting on in a studio...Copy !req
860. and the rest was a plate shot.Copy !req
861. Like green screen.Copy !req
862. Oh, no. My God.Copy !req
863. This is a scene where
you don't get in on Rosemary...Copy !req
864. but I came in and she just like...Copy !req
865. You know? She blew me away. I came
in, I didn't even have to do anything.Copy !req
866. Just look at her and just, you know,
I was falling to pieces watching her.Copy !req
867. And that's one of those scenes,
it's so effective and... In a way...Copy !req
868. when I'm doing a scene like that,
I'm like, "Yeah, but let's see our faces.Copy !req
869. Let's see the emotion that we're..."
But, you know, we've seen that.Copy !req
870. We saw that in Uncle Ben's
death scene with you...Copy !req
871. and it's so interesting
to have that...Copy !req
872. - ... further-away perspective...
- Yeah.Copy !req
873. on that gut-wrenching
emotional moment.Copy !req
874. It is interesting that she's...
Despite the fact...Copy !req
875. the camera's on her back
the whole time...Copy !req
876. - ... and it's, you know, 30 feet away...
- Yeah.Copy !req
877. she knows... Well, obviously,
she's a great actress.Copy !req
878. She's working just as hard
as if it were a close-up.Copy !req
879. - Absolutely.
- That's what makes that scene work.Copy !req
880. If you two just hit your marks,
went where you were told...Copy !req
881. because it's a long shot,
then it wouldn't be effective.Copy !req
882. - That was another great little transition.
- Yeah.Copy !req
883. "Chess." That's what we said there.
"Chess." Oh, man.Copy !req
884. It's not quite the same
without Uncle Ben.Copy !req
885. I think it's about a month later...Copy !req
886. after his death.Copy !req
887. And this triangle is interesting...Copy !req
888. because you have
James and his father...Copy !req
889. and, you know...Copy !req
890. James, who's Harry Osborn, isn't
quite what Norman wants in a son.Copy !req
891. - Right.
- And my character, Peter, is more...Copy !req
892. You know, a science whiz
who really appreciates his work...Copy !req
893. and is driven and wants to do
things for himself.Copy !req
894. It creates some jealousy for Harry.Copy !req
895. But I really crave that father figure
and that mentor.Copy !req
896. To get close to somebody like that
who has the kind of accomplishments...Copy !req
897. he has in science
is amazing for Peter's character.Copy !req
898. Right.Copy !req
899. And this is after.Copy !req
900. It's an empty house
without Uncle Ben.Copy !req
901. I missed him a lot today.Copy !req
902. I know.Copy !req
903. Acting's funny,
because this is one of those scenes...Copy !req
904. that's kind of a tough scene,
for me anyways.Copy !req
905. And we did it a few times...Copy !req
906. and, you know, just one time
I got hooked into it and it felt right.Copy !req
907. - And the other times didn't. You know?
- Yeah.Copy !req
908. They say, you know, it's like
lightening in a bottle or something.Copy !req
909. You're just there to... Turn the camera
on, you hope to catch the moments.Copy !req
910. Right.Copy !req
911. And a lot of the other time... A lot of
the other takes here, I felt like I was...Copy !req
912. You know, I wasn't connected to it,
or I was pushing or it felt okay.Copy !req
913. This one... And I don't know how it...Copy !req
914. I'm not talking about
how it comes off to people...Copy !req
915. but for me, it felt honest.Copy !req
916. Well, and that's a...Copy !req
917. Right there is one of the differences
between working on stage...Copy !req
918. and working in the movies,
you know, because you do get...Copy !req
919. You get the opportunity to...Copy !req
920. - Do it more than once.
- ... have a few sort of:Copy !req
921. "Well, that one was okay.
Let's try it again." And...Copy !req
922. It's also always good
to have the other actor in the scene...Copy !req
923. you know, really working with you
and connecting with you...Copy !req
924. - ... and helping to bring that out.
- I need that.Copy !req
925. I mean, I... I'm not... I'm not good...Copy !req
926. I mean, I won't say "not good"...Copy !req
927. but for me, I feed so much
off of the other actor, you know?Copy !req
928. Yeah.Copy !req
929. And just the sort of,
the crying thing itself.Copy !req
930. I mean, there are a lot of tricks
that you can use...Copy !req
931. to have water
coming out of your eyes...Copy !req
932. - ... but if it's not connected...
- Right.Copy !req
933. and coming from
somewhere inside...Copy !req
934. at least I think... You know, I think
you can always tell the difference.Copy !req
935. Yeah. Well, actually,
I don't wanna get into that...Copy !req
936. but there's
Sean Peon's performance...Copy !req
937. in Dead Man Walking.Copy !req
938. There's a whole sequence
where he's not really shedding tears...Copy !req
939. but he's, like, shaking,
almost like convulsing with emotion.Copy !req
940. There's no tears
coming out of his eyes...Copy !req
941. but he's... I mean,
I'm so there with his character.Copy !req
942. He's working so hard to not
have the tears come out of his eyes.Copy !req
943. - Unbelievable.
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
944. - Yeah, he can act a little bit.
- Yeah, he's all right.Copy !req
945. So all this stuff when, you know,
Spider-Man's doing his thing...Copy !req
946. Now, that's Lucy. That was just
Lucy Lawless who plays Xena...Copy !req
947. which Sam is involved
in the TV show.Copy !req
948. So she made a little cameo
that probably most people...Copy !req
949. Did not know that either.
Quite the makeup job.Copy !req
950. Yeah, exactly.Copy !req
951. Those were the Twin Towers reflected
in his eye there for a second.Copy !req
952. - Now the movie gets going here.
- Thank God!Copy !req
953. Like a breath of fresh air.Copy !req
954. Really uptight fresh air.Copy !req
955. Great head of hair
on the guy though.Copy !req
956. This is what's fun too
about being an actor. It's like...Copy !req
957. of course, I know it's you, but
you're disappearing into a character.Copy !req
958. It's a really definitive character...Copy !req
959. both in his look and in his attitude,
you know?Copy !req
960. It's like, people... I would tell people,
"Oh, yeah. That's J.K. Simmons.Copy !req
961. He was in this and that."
"Really? That's the same guy?Copy !req
962. Get out of here." You know.Copy !req
963. Every copy.Copy !req
964. That's the fun part of being the
semi-anonymous character actor...Copy !req
965. to be different all the time.
And that, of course, is...Copy !req
966. - ... Ted Raimi...
- Right.Copy !req
967. being abused by his boss,
as he is abused by his older brother...Copy !req
968. the director.Copy !req
969. Very much so.Copy !req
970. Put an ad on the front page:
"Cash for a picture of Spider-Man."Copy !req
971. He doesn't wanna be famous?
I'll make him infamous!Copy !req
972. There's the Moondance Diner.Copy !req
973. A landmark downtown.Copy !req
974. Peter Parker is seeing Mary Jane
for the first time since graduation.Copy !req
975. - What are you doing around here?
- Begging for a job. How about you?Copy !req
976. These are of course,
all extras that you see...Copy !req
977. despite how crowded
New York can be.Copy !req
978. At least in the local area there.Copy !req
979. Right. So you have...Copy !req
980. hundreds of people
working crowd control et cetera...Copy !req
981. in New York's finest
and everybody else...Copy !req
982. cordoning off the area,
keeping...Copy !req
983. the fans and the curious onlookers...Copy !req
984. wand the photographers,
at cetera, away.Copy !req
985. Yeah. With people it's kind of fun...Copy !req
986. you know, because they're excited
about what we're doing...Copy !req
987. and so I kind of like that.Copy !req
988. It took me a little getting used to
having several photographers...Copy !req
989. in your eyeline as you're shooting
something, just clicking away.Copy !req
990. - That's nice.
- It was disconcerting at first...Copy !req
991. but then I got used to it.Copy !req
992. And they try to strike deals
with you too, you know:Copy !req
993. "Give me a couple good shots
and I'll leave you alone."Copy !req
994. - Yeah? Great.
- Yeah.Copy !req
995. Yeah, and then once you do that
for one guy, then you...Copy !req
996. Then they're calling all their buddies.Copy !req
997. Getting on the paparazzi hotline.Copy !req
998. But...Copy !req
999. There's Peter being, in her eyes,
supportive and understanding...Copy !req
1000. unlike other people in her life.Copy !req
1001. Let's get some lunch some evening.Copy !req
1002. And him...Copy !req
1003. still being affected
and infatuated by her...Copy !req
1004. but just finding out
that he's been deceived...Copy !req
1005. by his roommate-slash-best friend,
Harry Osborn.Copy !req
1006. Timing's perfect. Hey.Copy !req
1007. Five new contracts. It'll be great.Copy !req
1008. Storming Norman's
making his weekly inspection.Copy !req
1009. Better than the average
two broke, out-of-work guys'...Copy !req
1010. - Apartment?
- ... Manhattan apartment. Yeah.Copy !req
1011. Well, there was actually
big discussions about that...Copy !req
1012. and how to do it,
and it was basically decided that...Copy !req
1013. Norman probably owned
the building.Copy !req
1014. - Right.
- And gave the apartment...Copy !req
1015. to his son.
And I kept talking to them about...Copy !req
1016. You know, and they agreed that it
should be somewhat modest in size...Copy !req
1017. inside, despite its size.
Because it's obviously...Copy !req
1018. - ... a pretty nice place for Manhattan.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1019. I don't think
I could afford that apartment.Copy !req
1020. - Well, not before Spider-Man.
- Right.Copy !req
1021. - Maybe after the sequel.
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1022. Pete, you're probably looking
for a job now, right?Copy !req
1023. Dad, maybe you can help him out.Copy !req
1024. - No, I appreciate it, but I'll be fine.
- It's no problem. I'll make a few calls.Copy !req
1025. No, I couldn't accept it, sir.
I like to earn what I get. I'll find work.Copy !req
1026. I respect that.Copy !req
1027. You want to make it
on your own steam.Copy !req
1028. That's great.Copy !req
1029. What other skills do you have,
Parker?Copy !req
1030. I was thinking about photography.Copy !req
1031. Hello.Copy !req
1032. Let's go! Move it!Copy !req
1033. Watch the street!Copy !req
1034. - And this was on the backlot.
- I was just gonna say...Copy !req
1035. we didn't block off the New York
streets for this sequence, but...Copy !req
1036. a good re-creation.Copy !req
1037. And then all the stuff
in the Spider-Man suit...Copy !req
1038. I had to go back
and loop everything.Copy !req
1039. You know, go in the studio
with just a microphone...Copy !req
1040. and say lines to pictures and stuff.Copy !req
1041. Crap, crap. Megacrap.Copy !req
1042. I'll give you $200 for all of them.Copy !req
1043. I was disappointed at the premiere,
they laughed so hard...Copy !req
1044. at the first "crap,"
that they missed "mega crap."Copy !req
1045. That's it.Copy !req
1046. Obviously a very supportive
audience there that night.Copy !req
1047. Give you 300.
That's the standard freelance fee.Copy !req
1048. - Tear up page one. Run that photo.
- Headline?Copy !req
1049. "Spider-Man, Hero or Menace?
Exclusive Daily Bugle Photos."Copy !req
1050. I went and spent couple days hanging
around at the New York Post...Copy !req
1051. soaked up the atmosphere, got the
sense of the big-city newspaper office...Copy !req
1052. and what it's like.
And that line about...Copy !req
1053. how much I'll give you
for the photos was actually...Copy !req
1054. one of the little details
that I gleaned during that process.Copy !req
1055. - In terms of what standard fees...?
- What's really the going rate for...?Copy !req
1056. And how'd we do?
Is it pretty realistic?Copy !req
1057. - We changed it.
- Right.Copy !req
1058. Because I think it had originally
been something different in the script.Copy !req
1059. And here's Elizabeth Banks,
plays Betty Brant...Copy !req
1060. a classic...Copy !req
1061. Spider-Man relationship
between him and her.Copy !req
1062. I'm working with her
again in a movie now.Copy !req
1063. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1064. - Now, will she be back in sequels?
- I haven't seen the script...Copy !req
1065. but I imagine. I mean, she works at
the Bugle, so she'll at least be there.Copy !req
1066. Whether there's
any future with them...Copy !req
1067. I don't know. There's certainly...
Stuff goes on with them in the comics.Copy !req
1068. Right. Maybe in the seventh
or eighth sequel, we'll get to that.Copy !req
1069. Yes.Copy !req
1070. I'm basically planning on semi-retiring.
I'll do a Spider-Man every two years.Copy !req
1071. - And that's it.
- Hope that'll pay the mortgage.Copy !req
1072. Do a little theater here and there.Copy !req
1073. - Sure.
- Yeah, why not?Copy !req
1074. And my kids can go to a state school.
You know, I'll be taking it easy.Copy !req
1075. And they pull the company
out from under him.Copy !req
1076. With entrenched management.Copy !req
1077. The deal is off if you come with it.Copy !req
1078. The board expects your resignation
in 30 days.Copy !req
1079. You can't do this to me.Copy !req
1080. I started this company.Copy !req
1081. You know how much I sacrificed?Copy !req
1082. He's starting to crack up a little.Copy !req
1083. A little Mr. Hyde coming out there
in Dr. Jekyll.Copy !req
1084. Norman, the board is unanimous.Copy !req
1085. We're announcing the sale
after the World Unity Festival.Copy !req
1086. I'm sorry.Copy !req
1087. You're out, Norman.Copy !req
1088. I have a feeling these OSCORP guys
are gonna meet an unhappy ending.Copy !req
1089. Something dark
is looming in the future.Copy !req
1090. They gave him
a little too much information.Copy !req
1091. They're gonna announce it
right after the Unity Fest.Copy !req
1092. And here we are in Times Square,
Southern California.Copy !req
1093. Yes.Copy !req
1094. And Peter has his first
non-Spider-Man assignment.Copy !req
1095. Macy Gray.Copy !req
1096. Coincidentally,
a Columbia recording artist.Copy !req
1097. Really?Copy !req
1098. - Strange how that happens.
- Yes.Copy !req
1099. Funny enough, I was promoting
Spider-Man in Europe...Copy !req
1100. and she was touring in Europe
and I bumped into her...Copy !req
1101. in three different countries
while I was promoting Spider-Man...Copy !req
1102. and I hung out with her a little bit.
And my friend played in front of her.Copy !req
1103. A buddy of mine who's a musician...Copy !req
1104. was, you know, just playing
the guitar and singing.Copy !req
1105. She was like, "Why don't you
come up and open for me?"Copy !req
1106. - Get out of here.
- He went up. Swear to God. In England.Copy !req
1107. I forgot the theater,
but it was like 5000 people...Copy !req
1108. and he walks out on the stage,
just him and his plug-in acoustic...Copy !req
1109. and he played a Beatles song...Copy !req
1110. which I won't hum.Copy !req
1111. M.J., would you do me a favor?
I forgot my drink inside.Copy !req
1112. A little Spidey-sense. Something...Copy !req
1113. What could go wrong
in Times Square?Copy !req
1114. Right.Copy !req
1115. - Have you seen my father around?
- Well, I'm not sure if he's coming.Copy !req
1116. Oh, I think he's coming.Copy !req
1117. - What is that?
- Must be new this year.Copy !req
1118. What is that?Copy !req
1119. That's our glider!Copy !req
1120. One of the times
when Sam is at his best...Copy !req
1121. Sam Raimi, is doing the scenes
with lots of extras...Copy !req
1122. when he comes out
to inspire them...Copy !req
1123. and try to get the reactions
that he's looking for...Copy !req
1124. out of groups of 10, or 20,
or 100 or 4000 people.Copy !req
1125. This was such a big job for him too.Copy !req
1126. He was directing, like, three or four
units at a time sometimes, you know.Copy !req
1127. It was unbelievable.Copy !req
1128. This shot I like, coming up of the...Copy !req
1129. - There's Stan. There. Stan the man.
- That was Stan Lee. Right there.Copy !req
1130. Peter risking his secret identity
to save a couple people.Copy !req
1131. - A little bit of a Superman shot.
- The Clark Kent moment there, yeah.Copy !req
1132. - Why I loved it though, it was good.
- A little homage.Copy !req
1133. I was a big Superman fan as a kid.Copy !req
1134. Well, you know, I was that age.Copy !req
1135. Very tasteful deaths.Copy !req
1136. Hello, my dear.Copy !req
1137. It's Spider-Man!Copy !req
1138. That was Laura Ziskin's daughter.
Our producer.Copy !req
1139. Willem basically was insisting
on doing almost everything himself.Copy !req
1140. Yeah?Copy !req
1141. And part of the reason was...Copy !req
1142. because he's so specific with
his physicality of the character.Copy !req
1143. And the stuntmen were great, but...Copy !req
1144. you know, Willem did it the way
Willem did it, you know.Copy !req
1145. He really acts
with every ounce of his body.Copy !req
1146. And he's very in shape.
He's a seasoned yogi...Copy !req
1147. and has a lot of control...Copy !req
1148. of his body...Copy !req
1149. even though he hit me and
kicked me many times for real.Copy !req
1150. Well, he probably meant to.Copy !req
1151. Yeah. I think so. It was fun.Copy !req
1152. But, you know, I'm like...Copy !req
1153. the younger actor
working with the guy I admire...Copy !req
1154. and I'm holding up
on my punches, you know.Copy !req
1155. Now, both you and Willem had the
constraint of working in those outfits...Copy !req
1156. which obviously were
hot and uncomfortable...Copy !req
1157. - ... and limited your visibility, et cetera.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1158. Well, Willem's was
actually fairly heavy, his suit.Copy !req
1159. So I know... He had this, like,
special chair between takes...Copy !req
1160. so he could relieve
some of the weight of the suit.Copy !req
1161. Mine was not that heavy...Copy !req
1162. but it's a one-piece that I couldn't
get in and out of myself...Copy !req
1163. and my lenses would fog up
a little...Copy !req
1164. - ... so the vision would be restricted.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1165. If I ever had to use the restroom
or get a sip of water...Copy !req
1166. it was, like, a 30-minute process.Copy !req
1167. And the zippers broke all the time.Copy !req
1168. They weren't even gonna
put zippers on it...Copy !req
1169. and I insisted.Copy !req
1170. There were gonna be zippers, but they
weren't gonna put the little handles on.Copy !req
1171. They did, but they broke anyways.
They ended up stitching me in the suit.Copy !req
1172. Sewing the suit up
at least 60 percent of the time.Copy !req
1173. Don't mind us.
She just needs to use the elevator.Copy !req
1174. So not a lot of potty breaks on days
you were in the Spider-Man garb?Copy !req
1175. No.Copy !req
1176. But I think it's...
I mean, we went through...Copy !req
1177. I went through, like, 30 different
fittings and I went through...Copy !req
1178. You know, where they cast my body,
which was very uncomfortable...Copy !req
1179. because the guys who did it
did not tell me that the plaster cast...Copy !req
1180. would rip hairs out of my body.Copy !req
1181. Sounds like you got a plaster cast and
a free body-waxing at the same time.Copy !req
1182. It was fabulous. And it was
some of the most excruciating pain...Copy !req
1183. I've ever been through.Copy !req
1184. See, and people think
it's all glamour and parties.Copy !req
1185. Then I had to stand nearly naked in
front of dozens of people all the time.Copy !req
1186. - They'd take photos, computer scans.
- Staring at the intricate details.Copy !req
1187. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.Copy !req
1188. Luckily I had been working out
for many months...Copy !req
1189. so, you know,
I was the newly buffed Tobey.Copy !req
1190. And then they played with
the different graphics on the suit.Copy !req
1191. Three-dimensional webbing versus
webbing that was just in the design.Copy !req
1192. And finally we came up with...Copy !req
1193. And face mask versus not
a face mask versus helmet, versus...Copy !req
1194. just the material. And it was
some kind of a spandex y material...Copy !req
1195. Lycra or something.Copy !req
1196. And it was pretty...Copy !req
1197. You know, it was pretty good
for movement. It was...Copy !req
1198. They designed it, because Spider-Man
is such an agile character...Copy !req
1199. so you could move around,
and do flips and run around.Copy !req
1200. - Right.
- You know.Copy !req
1201. It wasn't as bad as what I heard
that the Batman suit was.Copy !req
1202. - Apparently, that was...
- Not fun to move in?Copy !req
1203. Not fun, yeah.Copy !req
1204. This wasn't so bad.Copy !req
1205. He's hearing voices.Copy !req
1206. Somebody.Copy !req
1207. Who said that?Copy !req
1208. Don't play the innocent with me.Copy !req
1209. You've known all along.Copy !req
1210. Where are you?Copy !req
1211. Follow the cold shiver
running down your spine.Copy !req
1212. Willem would, like,
basically never be in his trailer.Copy !req
1213. He just always wanted to be in on
the action wandering around the set.Copy !req
1214. It was good to see.Copy !req
1215. He was so involved and invested.Copy !req
1216. And I really think
that's what makes this movie fly...Copy !req
1217. for me, is that...Copy !req
1218. people are trying to give real
performances within the comic book...Copy !req
1219. - ... fantasy world.
- Right.Copy !req
1220. To say what you won't. To do what...Copy !req
1221. Yeah, he's a hard-working guy,
pays a lot of attention to detail.Copy !req
1222. I read an article
that was interesting about...Copy !req
1223. You know, and I don't wanna...
I'm going to generalize a little...Copy !req
1224. but how younger actors...Copy !req
1225. We?Copy !req
1226. don't use their bodies
as much nowadays.Copy !req
1227. That it's a lot about head acting.Copy !req
1228. And it was theorizing that...Copy !req
1229. because people came out
of the theater much more...Copy !req
1230. years ago, whereas a lot of people
are just going straight into film...Copy !req
1231. Right, where it's all about close-ups
and subtlety, yeah.Copy !req
1232. In theater you're there.Copy !req
1233. Your whole body, people
are watching all of you all the time.Copy !req
1234. So I think that's why Willem's
such a great choice, is that...Copy !req
1235. he really physicalizes
his character.Copy !req
1236. That was pretty maniacal.Copy !req
1237. - The old Flatiron there.
- Yup.Copy !req
1238. - Here we are back there.
- Back in Los Angeles.Copy !req
1239. Yeah, back in Los Angeles-slash-L.A.-
- slash-New York.Copy !req
1240. We were in Manhattan
three shots ago.Copy !req
1241. Now we're in L.A.Copy !req
1242. How about "Green Meanie"?Copy !req
1243. Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city.
That's slander.Copy !req
1244. It is not. I resent that.Copy !req
1245. No reasoning with J. Jonah.Copy !req
1246. Do you know what? I really love
what was done with your character.Copy !req
1247. I don't know where it came from,
exactly“.Copy !req
1248. but in this scene,
there's some real...Copy !req
1249. redemptive quality about J. Jonah
because he's kind of a hard-ass...Copy !req
1250. - ... and whatnot, but...
- That was very important to me.Copy !req
1251. Sam and I actually met a lot
during preproduction...Copy !req
1252. and talked about the script...Copy !req
1253. and trying not to make this guy
two-dimensional either.Copy !req
1254. Here he is risking his own life to...Copy !req
1255. He's protecting Peter Parker, which
I think is pretty courageous, you know.Copy !req
1256. He's like... Oh, he's not such
a bad guy, he's got some courage.Copy !req
1257. Yeah, he's just got a little burr under
his saddle about old Spider-Man.Copy !req
1258. In the comic books,
there was something about him.Copy !req
1259. He had, like, a big admission
where he says...Copy !req
1260. Someone was questioning him
or he has some confessional...Copy !req
1261. where he says
he doesn't like Spider-Man...Copy !req
1262. because Spider-Man is so altruistic
and it's unrealistic or something.Copy !req
1263. - And how can anybody be that good?
- Right.Copy !req
1264. And it made him
feel less about himself.Copy !req
1265. Right, exactly.
He's both suspicious and envious.Copy !req
1266. - Yeah.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1267. You and I are not so different.Copy !req
1268. I'm not like you.Copy !req
1269. This was a good choice,
to be able to see...Copy !req
1270. - See the eyes.
- ... Willem's eyes in this outfit.Copy !req
1271. Well, and how to carry a film
and keep an audience interested...Copy !req
1272. in characters where
you can't see them ever?Copy !req
1273. Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1274. And I thought the eyes were good,
to see Willem's eyes.Copy !req
1275. And Sam and I talked a lot about
how to keep people...Copy !req
1276. with Peter Parker
even when he was in the mask.Copy !req
1277. And, you know, it was challenging,
but I guess you just...Copy !req
1278. We tried to do it with physicality
and a little bit of dialogue.Copy !req
1279. Sometimes he talks to himself
to keep people involved.Copy !req
1280. But this is the villain
spouting his philosophies.Copy !req
1281. - The bad guy credo here.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1282. A little bit of the, like Darth Vader,
"Join me."Copy !req
1283. What we could create.Copy !req
1284. Kind of an antagonistic
buddy scene here.Copy !req
1285. That's, again, one of the admirable
qualities about Peter Parker, is that...Copy !req
1286. he doesn't... Not only does
he not go to the dark side...Copy !req
1287. in a big way, but he doesn't
take advantage of his abilities...Copy !req
1288. even in small ways for
his own gain, really, like he could.Copy !req
1289. Right. And I think that came out
of the wrestling situation...Copy !req
1290. when, you know,
vindictively he let that guy go...Copy !req
1291. and then felt responsible
for his uncle's death.Copy !req
1292. The responsibility.Copy !req
1293. Here we are on the backlot again.Copy !req
1294. - It's me again.
- Hey!Copy !req
1295. How was your audition?Copy !req
1296. I have a feeling it's gonna rain.Copy !req
1297. - You do?
- I could feel it in the air.Copy !req
1298. You know what?Copy !req
1299. I underst... My senses are tingling.Copy !req
1300. Took two buses and a cab
to get in the neighborhood, but...Copy !req
1301. So how'd it go?Copy !req
1302. Kirsten, she's so great because
she's so beautiful, but so real.Copy !req
1303. So beautiful in a
sort of unglamorous...Copy !req
1304. - ... actual girl next door, you know.
- Definitely.Copy !req
1305. Well, that's the thing.Copy !req
1306. She is gorgeous and sexy,
but not self-conscious at all.Copy !req
1307. Very confident and self-assured...Copy !req
1308. and, you know, isn't afraid.Copy !req
1309. Never mind.
That's none of my business.Copy !req
1310. It's not?Copy !req
1311. Why so interested?Copy !req
1312. I'm not.Copy !req
1313. You're not?Copy !req
1314. This is some of the most fun I had,
is doing my scenes with her.Copy !req
1315. She just gives you so much.
It's amazing because...Copy !req
1316. I'm trying to think. I think she was 18...Copy !req
1317. when we started the picture and
then turned 19 during production.Copy !req
1318. That's what amazing too.
She's been around for so long.Copy !req
1319. - Not unlike her co-star, actually.
- Right.Copy !req
1320. Somebody that has...
You know, when I was your age...Copy !req
1321. I think I was doing summer stock
in Montana.Copy !req
1322. But people like you and Kirsten,
who started at such a young age...Copy !req
1323. - I think she even younger than you.
- Yeah. I can't remember...Copy !req
1324. but 3, or 5, or 6,
somewhere really young.Copy !req
1325. - And I started when I was, like, 13.
- Yeah, you were an old guy.Copy !req
1326. - You were almost growed up.
- Yeah. That's right.Copy !req
1327. This is similar to the screen test
that I did.Copy !req
1328. Get off me!Copy !req
1329. Very professional stuntmen.
She was never in danger.Copy !req
1330. Although this was one
of her favorite scenes...Copy !req
1331. because she got to
kick some butt.Copy !req
1332. This is a fun shot here.
I had to run...Copy !req
1333. in here and I jumped up
in this little trapdoor they had.Copy !req
1334. Then they shut the door
behind me...Copy !req
1335. spin around,
and a double dropped down...Copy !req
1336. all in one shot.Copy !req
1337. Then it's me. And then they cut
and come in closer, and it's me.Copy !req
1338. And Kirsten... This is our
big kiss moment coming up.Copy !req
1339. The much talked about
upside-down kiss.Copy !req
1340. When we shot her
close-up coverage...Copy !req
1341. it was before...
I was actually standing...Copy !req
1342. right side up for part of it.Copy !req
1343. And she leans off camera...Copy !req
1344. when he comes up.Copy !req
1345. And she planted one on me.Copy !req
1346. - It really is a tough business, isn't it?
- Yeah, it was tough.Copy !req
1347. I will say
that was the enjoyable one.Copy !req
1348. When I was actually upside down,
I couldn't breathe.Copy !req
1349. - Water was pouring down.
- See the veins popping out of his neck.Copy !req
1350. I mean, it couldn't have been
more uncomfortable.Copy !req
1351. I literally couldn't breathe.
I apologized to Kirsten:Copy !req
1352. "Listen, I'm gonna have to
suck air out of the side...Copy !req
1353. of our mouths."
Because right there...Copy !req
1354. the mask is rolled up
to my nose and the mask is wet...Copy !req
1355. so it's no longer breathable at all. I
could only breathe through my mouth...Copy !req
1356. and then I was kissing her,
so there was nowhere to breathe.Copy !req
1357. It was unbearable. And it was,
like, 4:30, 5 in the morning.Copy !req
1358. Of course, yeah.Copy !req
1359. - Good shot. Oh, yeah, definitely.
- Worth it though, great shot.Copy !req
1360. Absolutely.Copy !req
1361. Now, this is not the backlot.Copy !req
1362. No. And this was New York,
as well.Copy !req
1363. Yeah. Again, this is a scene that we've
seen versions of this a million times.Copy !req
1364. And maybe it's just because
I'm a dad now but, you know...Copy !req
1365. And I apologize for not knowing
this actress's name but she's...Copy !req
1366. a New York actress that,
you know, works all the time.Copy !req
1367. She's great. And I've seen her
in a couple other things too.Copy !req
1368. She's like one of those people,
you know.Copy !req
1369. You're in the business, you're privy
to watching people's careers grow.Copy !req
1370. And she was so good.Copy !req
1371. And then I saw her in
a couple other movies or TV shows...Copy !req
1372. I'm not sure what,
and I went, "Wow."Copy !req
1373. I bet she's gonna do
really, really well.Copy !req
1374. No!Copy !req
1375. - It's okay. Your baby's fine.
- Oh, my baby!Copy !req
1376. God bless you, Spider-Man.
Bless you.Copy !req
1377. - Spider-Man is wanted.
- Right.Copy !req
1378. A lot of these guys
that play New York's finest...Copy !req
1379. and/or New York's bravest...Copy !req
1380. in these movies
actually are New York cops...Copy !req
1381. or New York firefighters.Copy !req
1382. I don't know
either one of these guys.Copy !req
1383. - I don't know if they are.
- Yeah, I'm not sure.Copy !req
1384. But, yeah, we have a combination
of actors and the real deal.Copy !req
1385. Where are you?Copy !req
1386. Where are you?Copy !req
1387. Of course all of my dialogue
is looped.Copy !req
1388. That's a whole different challenge,
being in the recording studio...Copy !req
1389. five months later
and having to try and re-create...Copy !req
1390. the same level of involvement.Copy !req
1391. You're pathetically predictable.
Like a moth to the flame.Copy !req
1392. You end up doing that in just about
every movie you do, even if it's just...Copy !req
1393. sitting around a table talking,
there's always...Copy !req
1394. For one reason or another, there's
always some re-recording to do.Copy !req
1395. Yeah, you always do it,
but this was very heavy.Copy !req
1396. Oh, great.Copy !req
1397. Yeah.Copy !req
1398. This was a cool shot.Copy !req
1399. How'd you get your body
to do that in slow motion?Copy !req
1400. - You're amazing.
- Oh, thanks.Copy !req
1401. - Yeah, in all of that fire too.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1402. To be honest with you...Copy !req
1403. a lot of times in the movie, I can't
tell when it's me or a stuntman. I swear.Copy !req
1404. Because a lot of times,
we would both do things.Copy !req
1405. - Right.
- You know, because...Copy !req
1406. we wanted it to be me
and sometimes...Copy !req
1407. there were things I couldn't do
as well as the stuntman...Copy !req
1408. - ... and we would both try it.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1409. And at first, you know,
I would be all gung ho and say:Copy !req
1410. "I wanna do it! I wanna do it!"Copy !req
1411. And they would be...
You know, Sam and Laura...Copy !req
1412. would discourage me, you know:Copy !req
1413. "We don't really need you
to do this one and it's dangerous."Copy !req
1414. And by the end of the film
I was like:Copy !req
1415. - "No, just let him do it." You know?
- Yeah, "Bring in the double."Copy !req
1416. - Well, it was a long shoot for you.
- It was a very long shoot, yeah.Copy !req
1417. And I'll say, another person
behind the scenes...Copy !req
1418. who really cares
about the character...Copy !req
1419. and had a lot of great input
was Avi Arad...Copy !req
1420. who's the head of... I believe
he's the head of Marvel Entertainment.Copy !req
1421. I mean, I don't know his actual title.Copy !req
1422. But, you know, these characters
are his babies.Copy !req
1423. And he just did a fine job
working with everybody on this movie.Copy !req
1424. And he's gotta be one of the most
prolific producers in Hollywood now...Copy !req
1425. with all of his Marvel movies.
It's unbelievable.Copy !req
1426. And he's... The thing about Marvel...Copy !req
1427. characters...Copy !req
1428. is that they are relatable,
they are human. They're not...Copy !req
1429. you know, perfect heroes...Copy !req
1430. and just evil villains.Copy !req
1431. This was actually
one of the hardest stunts...Copy !req
1432. just being up on that wall.Copy !req
1433. As hard as that... On the ceiling.
As hard as that...Copy !req
1434. And bleeding, always a drag
when they cut you...Copy !req
1435. - ... and you have to bleed.
- Right, of course.Copy !req
1436. Then you gotta rehydrate and you can't
take a potty break because of the suit.Copy !req
1437. - Great shot here too.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1438. - Hey, everyone.
- Oh, Peter!Copy !req
1439. Sorry I'm late, it's a jungle out there.
I had to beat an old lady with a stick...Copy !req
1440. Yeah, now, was that in the script,
or was that...?Copy !req
1441. I can't remember. I think it might have
been something Sam came up with.Copy !req
1442. It was really loose. You know,
going into this film, I'm thinking...Copy !req
1443. you know, super big budget...Copy !req
1444. you know, potential franchise...Copy !req
1445. movie series for the studio.Copy !req
1446. It's gonna be really a lot of chefs
in the kitchen.Copy !req
1447. But they really gave us a tremendous
amount of freedom to play around.Copy !req
1448. That's what was great
about this film.Copy !req
1449. You know, I really went in going,
"Okay, be prepared for anything."Copy !req
1450. Because I hadn't done a film like this.
But it was the most freedom...Copy !req
1451. I think I'd had on any film...Copy !req
1452. which was pretty great.Copy !req
1453. I stepped off a curb and got clipped
by one of those bike messengers.Copy !req
1454. Well, let me see.Copy !req
1455. Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
1456. We discussed doing a Spidey-sense
moment here at the table.Copy !req
1457. But despite our budget,
we couldn't afford it.Copy !req
1458. That's the amazing thing
about movies.Copy !req
1459. No matter what the budget is,
it's never enough.Copy !req
1460. There's a top to it.Copy !req
1461. Whether you're on a 5-million-dollar...
I've been on $400,000 movies.Copy !req
1462. And this one that, you know, they
won't even tell you how much it cost.Copy !req
1463. And it's never enough.Copy !req
1464. - I've got to go.
- Why?Copy !req
1465. Something
has come to my attention.Copy !req
1466. Are you all right?Copy !req
1467. He has just discovered the identity
of Spider-Man.Copy !req
1468. I planned this so you'd meet M.J...Copy !req
1469. Well, I guess that's it, then.
Spider-Man's gonna be outed.Copy !req
1470. Yeah.Copy !req
1471. That's it. And here's...Copy !req
1472. Harry Osborn
getting a little insensitive too.Copy !req
1473. Yeah, it's hard to confront
the old dad figure too much here.Copy !req
1474. - Yeah.
- He sort of loses his backbone.Copy !req
1475. You're wrong about her, Dad.Copy !req
1476. A word to the not-so-wise
about your little girlfriend:Copy !req
1477. Do what you need to with her,
then broom her fast.Copy !req
1478. Thanks for sticking up for me,
Harry.Copy !req
1479. - You heard?
- Everyone heard that creep.Copy !req
1480. That creep is my father.
With luck, I'll be half of what he is.Copy !req
1481. Shut up about stuff
you don't understand!Copy !req
1482. Harry Osborn!Copy !req
1483. I'm sorry, Aunt May.Copy !req
1484. Spider-Man is all but invincible.Copy !req
1485. But Parker, we can destroy him.Copy !req
1486. Getting advice from himself.
"Attack the heart."Copy !req
1487. Parker must be educated.Copy !req
1488. What do I do?Copy !req
1489. I think it's the merging of
the characters within himself. He's...Copy !req
1490. Yes?Copy !req
1491. He's starting to accept his... The evil
side is his more dominant side now.Copy !req
1492. Warrior attacks
neither body nor mind.Copy !req
1493. Tell me how!Copy !req
1494. The heart, Osborn.Copy !req
1495. First, we attack his heart.Copy !req
1496. In this scene, Aunt May.Copy !req
1497. And forgive us our trespasses...Copy !req
1498. Yeah, it's a great... The characters,
both Aunt May and Uncle Ben have...Copy !req
1499. a great combination
of wisdom and innocence.Copy !req
1500. Yeah, absolutely.Copy !req
1501. And Uncle Ben is really kept alive...Copy !req
1502. throughout the movie and throughout
the comic books he was too.Copy !req
1503. Two milligrams IV.Copy !req
1504. Get the BP.Copy !req
1505. Aunt May. Is she gonna be okay?
What happened?Copy !req
1506. You have to leave.Copy !req
1507. - What happened?
- Those eyes!Copy !req
1508. Those horrible yellow eyes!Copy !req
1509. He knows who I am.Copy !req
1510. Peter gets caught up.Copy !req
1511. Feeling responsible once again
for a loved one.Copy !req
1512. That was a great little shot there
of you actually saying the line:Copy !req
1513. "He knows who I am."
Because it was so important...Copy !req
1514. to make that... Most people probably
would have understood that...Copy !req
1515. with just what you were doing
with your face...Copy !req
1516. but I'm sure Sam felt it was
important to make it very clear.Copy !req
1517. And it was good, I think,
not to bring back in the voice-over...Copy !req
1518. idea too much
throughout the movie.Copy !req
1519. To just use that
as a kind of a bookend device.Copy !req
1520. Yeah. There was a lot of discussion
about when Peter should realize...Copy !req
1521. that Norman figured it out.Copy !req
1522. - Thanks for coming.
- Of course.Copy !req
1523. How are you?
You okay about the other night?Copy !req
1524. Yeah, I'm fine. I just felt bad
about leaving Aunt May.Copy !req
1525. - Have you talked to Harry?
- He called me.Copy !req
1526. I haven't called him back.Copy !req
1527. Yeah, and here again in the middle of
this quote-unquote action movie...Copy !req
1528. you know, we have a really nice
extended scene here...Copy !req
1529. about the characters...Copy !req
1530. and what's going on in their lives.Copy !req
1531. There's so many different...Copy !req
1532. It's funny.Copy !req
1533. you know...Copy !req
1534. stories going on within this.Copy !req
1535. And it's actually a pretty complex,
epic sort of film.Copy !req
1536. But do you think it's true, all the
terrible things they say about him?Copy !req
1537. That nice little shot of Aunt May
actually being awake now.Copy !req
1538. - Yeah, eavesdropping.
- Listening in to the whole thing.Copy !req
1539. I'm sort of his unofficial
photographer.Copy !req
1540. Which would be kind of skeevy...Copy !req
1541. if it wasn't somebody
as sweet as Aunt May.Copy !req
1542. Here's...Copy !req
1543. Peter getting himself
in a little bit of a pickle. Going into...Copy !req
1544. Speaking in third person
of his alter ego.Copy !req
1545. This is really one of the great romantic
little speeches here, though.Copy !req
1546. - It's really nice.
- Yeah, it was nice.Copy !req
1547. We did a lot of work on the dialogue.Copy !req
1548. It was very...Copy !req
1549. tricky.Copy !req
1550. And she's looking back in yours...Copy !req
1551. There it is. When you have...Copy !req
1552. someone great to work with like
Kirsten, it makes it so much easier.Copy !req
1553. Right. Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's...Copy !req
1554. You're doing all the talking,
but it's so much a two-person scene.Copy !req
1555. - Yeah. Yeah.
- She contributes so much to it.Copy !req
1556. You can see her, like, progressively
opening and getting touched.Copy !req
1557. And then that...Copy !req
1558. feeds me and informs my stuff.Copy !req
1559. The truth is, you don't know
what you feel...Copy !req
1560. except you know what kind of man
you want to be.Copy !req
1561. It's as if you've...Copy !req
1562. reached the unreachable...Copy !req
1563. and you weren't ready for it."Copy !req
1564. You said that?Copy !req
1565. Well, something like that.Copy !req
1566. There's the little comic relief.Copy !req
1567. Yeah, little backpedal. "Yeah, you
know, something like that. Whatever."Copy !req
1568. It's great working with actors too,
and it's not always the case, where...Copy !req
1569. Obviously, when this scene is shot,
they point the camera on you...Copy !req
1570. and do the whole scene,
then they turn everything around...Copy !req
1571. take their four hours to light it,
and they point the camera on her.Copy !req
1572. But often times,
or at least sometimes...Copy !req
1573. you work with other actors who,
when the camera's not on them...Copy !req
1574. they kind of show up
and sit there and aren't really...Copy !req
1575. contributing much
to what you're doing.Copy !req
1576. But it's obvious that you guys
were working for each other a lot.Copy !req
1577. Well, I've heard a lot of stories
about that kind of thing.Copy !req
1578. And I've been fortunate enough not to
have had to experience it too much.Copy !req
1579. Yeah, it's not... I mean, only
a few times that I've felt that way...Copy !req
1580. about another actor.Copy !req
1581. Nobody in this movie.Copy !req
1582. No.Copy !req
1583. Well, you were right about M.J.Copy !req
1584. - Except for maybe Ted Raimi.
- Yeah, that guy. I don't know.Copy !req
1585. - How did he get the job?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1586. - What was the deal there?
- It was just a good audition, I think.Copy !req
1587. And how does he feel about her?Copy !req
1588. He's loved her since the 4th grade.Copy !req
1589. He pretends like he doesn't, but
there's no one Peter cares for more.Copy !req
1590. A little bonding moment
for father and son.Copy !req
1591. Yeah, they keep trying.Copy !req
1592. I haven't always been there for you,
Havel?Copy !req
1593. You're busy. You're an important man.
I understand.Copy !req
1594. That's no excuse.Copy !req
1595. I'm proud of you.Copy !req
1596. I've lost sight of that somewhere.
But I'll make it up to you.Copy !req
1597. I'm going to rectify
certain inequities.Copy !req
1598. Wake up, little spider.Copy !req
1599. Wake up.Copy !req
1600. Go home, dear.Copy !req
1601. You look awful.Copy !req
1602. - And you look beautiful.
- Well, thank you.Copy !req
1603. - I don't like to leave you here.
- But I'm safe here.Copy !req
1604. - Can I do anything for you?
- You do too much.Copy !req
1605. College, a job, all this time with me.
You're not Superman, you know.Copy !req
1606. A smile. Finally.Copy !req
1607. Haven't seen one of those on
your face since Mary Jane was here.Copy !req
1608. Hey.
You were supposed to be asleep.Copy !req
1609. You know, you were about 6 years old
when M.J.'s family moved in next door.Copy !req
1610. And when she got out of the car,
and you saw her for the first time...Copy !req
1611. It reminded me when she said
"you're not Superman" of the trailer.Copy !req
1612. I think the people who cut the trailer
in the Marketing Department...Copy !req
1613. did such a good job, because
obviously the awareness was...Copy !req
1614. very high.Copy !req
1615. But they also did a good job
of not giving away the entire movie.Copy !req
1616. Yes, which is a real pet peeve of mine.
It was a really good trailer.Copy !req
1617. - It was a good trailer.
- It gave you a real sense of it without...Copy !req
1618. Not giving away the whole thing, yeah.Copy !req
1619. Tell me, would it be so dangerous...Copy !req
1620. to let Mary Jane know
how much you care?Copy !req
1621. Everybody else knows.Copy !req
1622. I'll be right back.Copy !req
1623. But...Copy !req
1624. Come on, pick up.Copy !req
1625. - Hey, M.J...
- Sing your song at the beep.Copy !req
1626. By the machine.Copy !req
1627. Hello? You there?Copy !req
1628. I'm just calling to check up on you.
Will you call me when you get in?Copy !req
1629. All right, well...Copy !req
1630. Don't...Copy !req
1631. Don't go up any dark alleys.Copy !req
1632. Hello?Copy !req
1633. Can Spider-Man come out to play?Copy !req
1634. Where is she?Copy !req
1635. Well, she's on top
of the Brooklyn Bridge.Copy !req
1636. Was it the Brooklyn Bridge?Copy !req
1637. I think so.
Now, a lot of this was done...Copy !req
1638. on the sound stage
or in green screen...Copy !req
1639. - ... but you did some on location too?
- Yes. Yeah.Copy !req
1640. If that's the tram, I guess it's probably
the 59th Street Bridge, isn't it?Copy !req
1641. I don't think it's the Brooklyn Bridge.
Is there a Queensboro Bridge?Copy !req
1642. The Queensboro Bridge
is the 59th Street Bridge.Copy !req
1643. There you go.Copy !req
1644. This is a very cruel choice...Copy !req
1645. that the Goblin
proposes to Spider-Man.Copy !req
1646. In a moment.Copy !req
1647. Now, this whole sequence
is so complicated with...Copy !req
1648. you know, sound stage,
green screen...Copy !req
1649. shooting it
on actually the location...Copy !req
1650. and then the animation.Copy !req
1651. Yeah, filmmaking has changed
and evolved a little bit.Copy !req
1652. It's not pointing
the camera at actors anymore.Copy !req
1653. No.Copy !req
1654. Yeah, this was great.Copy !req
1655. Contrast that with the first sequence
where he's chasing the carjacker...Copy !req
1656. and trying to get a handle
on his abilities...Copy !req
1657. and now he's completely
in command.Copy !req
1658. Let die the woman you love...Copy !req
1659. or suffer the little children.Copy !req
1660. Kirsten...Copy !req
1661. You know, Sam asked Kirsten,
he said:Copy !req
1662. "There's a lot of stunts and wire work.Copy !req
1663. And are you in shape and prepared...Copy !req
1664. to do this and get beat up a little?"
She was like, "Yeah. No problem."Copy !req
1665. And I'm thinking, "Come on,
I'm playing Spider-Man.Copy !req
1666. What does this girl gotta do?"
You know?Copy !req
1667. And I think that she probably...Copy !req
1668. had to do as much, if not more.
I love that shot.Copy !req
1669. - Yeah. Yeah.
- So cool.Copy !req
1670. She had to do as much,
if not more...Copy !req
1671. stunt stuff...Copy !req
1672. stunt work than I did.Copy !req
1673. This was a bit
of an excruciating sequence.Copy !req
1674. We're on a sound stage,
hanging from wires all day long.Copy !req
1675. - Holding a 6-inch ram in one arm.
- Yeah, of course.Copy !req
1676. - Right.
- That'll wear you out.Copy !req
1677. The secret there
is the core strength.Copy !req
1678. We're gonna bring the barge
right under you.Copy !req
1679. - He's coming back!
- Listen. I need you to climb down.Copy !req
1680. - I can't.
- Yes, you can!Copy !req
1681. M.J., you can do it. You have to.Copy !req
1682. Trust me.Copy !req
1683. That's another real acting challenge.
You know, we were talking about...Copy !req
1684. the whole crying scene,
emotional scenes.Copy !req
1685. You know, to do this
damsel-in-distress thing...Copy !req
1686. you know, that Kirsten does here
and maintain that level of panic...Copy !req
1687. you know, for what
I'm sure was a few days...Copy !req
1688. - ... of shooting this sequence.
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
1689. Then also at Times Square on the
balcony, she had to do all that stuff.Copy !req
1690. That's another great shot here.Copy !req
1691. - He's not gonna make it.
- He's gonna make it!Copy !req
1692. We had all the people...Copy !req
1693. doubting Spider-Man
with J. Jonah's...Copy !req
1694. - ... headlines.
- Right.Copy !req
1695. You know, they're not sure where
Spider-Man's coming from, if he's...Copy !req
1696. a good guy or a bad guy.Copy !req
1697. That really always continues
to be the story...Copy !req
1698. of Peter Parker and Spider-Man.Copy !req
1699. He's never universally acclaimed
like Superman...Copy !req
1700. or some other superheroes.
There's always...Copy !req
1701. a significant group of people that...Copy !req
1702. But here's a moment
where he gets some support...Copy !req
1703. which is encouragement for him
that he's on the right path.Copy !req
1704. Because it makes
him question himself earlier.Copy !req
1705. Spider-Man, watch out!Copy !req
1706. - But the moment of victory is short.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1707. Now, this is the sequence
where I got beat up the most.Copy !req
1708. Yeah, this...Copy !req
1709. That's a cool effect.Copy !req
1710. This is where Willem was not
entirely pulling his punches...Copy !req
1711. coming up here.Copy !req
1712. When did you shoot this? Toward the
end that you shot this sequence or...?Copy !req
1713. We came back to it a couple times,
but I do believe it was towards the end.Copy !req
1714. And it was really dusty
and smoky and...Copy !req
1715. As you see, they had to put lots
of blood and sweat all over me...Copy !req
1716. and I'm in the suit. And dirt.Copy !req
1717. Yeah, that's another element
that adds to...Copy !req
1718. - ... a long day.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1719. Then I had to get beat up a lot.Copy !req
1720. Then I'd have to go back and do
looping and make all these little...Copy !req
1721. noises. Try to vary
the grunts and efforts.Copy !req
1722. And that right there is where I got
some nice little bruises on my ribs.Copy !req
1723. I had to throw myself into bricks.Copy !req
1724. Many times.Copy !req
1725. He might be done for.Copy !req
1726. Yup. No sequels.Copy !req
1727. Spider-Man's gonna buy it.Copy !req
1728. But now that you've really
pissed me off...Copy !req
1729. He makes the mistake...Copy !req
1730. talking about torturing
the woman he loves.Copy !req
1731. M.J. and I...Copy !req
1732. we're gonna have a hell of a time.Copy !req
1733. In classic WWF style.
Just when you thought he was down.Copy !req
1734. Don't count him out.Copy !req
1735. An extra reserve.Copy !req
1736. It's great that you both have your eyes
to work with in this sequence too.Copy !req
1737. Yeah.Copy !req
1738. Peter, stop!Copy !req
1739. Stop! It's me.Copy !req
1740. Mr. Osborn.Copy !req
1741. Peter, thank God for you.Copy !req
1742. You killed those people
on that balcony.Copy !req
1743. The Goblin killed!
I had nothing to do with it!Copy !req
1744. Don't let him take me again.
I beg you. Protect me.Copy !req
1745. Don't trust him.Copy !req
1746. You tried to kill Aunt May.
You tried to kill Mary Jane.Copy !req
1747. But not you.Copy !req
1748. This is great, because as an audience,
you're going back and forth here.Copy !req
1749. Oh, now you know.
He's definitely, you know...Copy !req
1750. - Right.
- ... still in the Mr. Hyde persona.Copy !req
1751. It's fully taken him.Copy !req
1752. Thank God for you.Copy !req
1753. Give me your hand.Copy !req
1754. Believe in me
as I believed in you.Copy !req
1755. I've been like a father to you.Copy !req
1756. Be a son to me now.Copy !req
1757. Uncle Ben lives.Copy !req
1758. His name was Ben Parker.Copy !req
1759. Godspeed, Spider-Man.Copy !req
1760. Thank God for that Spidey-sense.Copy !req
1761. Peter...Copy !req
1762. - That's gonna leave a mark.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1763. Don't tell Harry.Copy !req
1764. That's a nice moment
before he dies.Copy !req
1765. "Don't tell Harry." He does care.Copy !req
1766. - Spidey misunderstood once again.
- Right.Copy !req
1767. He's trying to do a good deed...Copy !req
1768. hiding the Green Goblin alter ego.Copy !req
1769. Harry sees Spider-Man and thinks
he's responsible for his father's death.Copy !req
1770. Hey-Copy !req
1771. I'm so sorry, Harry.Copy !req
1772. I know what it's like
to lose a father.Copy !req
1773. Now, was this shot in the fall?Copy !req
1774. No. It was...Copy !req
1775. I swear on my father's grave,
Spider-Man will pay.Copy !req
1776. I'm gonna say it was...Copy !req
1777. early spring in New York.Copy !req
1778. You're the only family I have.Copy !req
1779. Maybe late winter.Copy !req
1780. A little extra guilt for Peter Parker.Copy !req
1781. And a little suggestion
of what may be to come...Copy !req
1782. for Harry's character.Copy !req
1783. No matter what I do...Copy !req
1784. no matter how hard I try...Copy !req
1785. the ones I love will always
be the ones who pay.Copy !req
1786. So they're gonna live
happily ever after, right?Copy !req
1787. Yes, finally. After...Copy !req
1788. Have a big kiss and
they'll walk off hand in hand.Copy !req
1789. As any big...Copy !req
1790. superhero Hollywood movie
should be...Copy !req
1791. there should
be a happy ending, right?Copy !req
1792. Finally, after all this time.Copy !req
1793. All these challenges...Copy !req
1794. tragedy...Copy !req
1795. Peter Parker gets
what he wants most.Copy !req
1796. I kept thinking:Copy !req
1797. The true caring and love
of Mary Jane Watson.Copy !req
1798. Yeah, sorry. Not gonna happen.Copy !req
1799. For the first time in movie history...Copy !req
1800. I get to say no to a girl.Copy !req
1801. Who makes me feel...Copy !req
1802. like I'm more than I ever
thought I could be.Copy !req
1803. That I'm just...Copy !req
1804. me.Copy !req
1805. And that's okay.Copy !req
1806. The truth is...Copy !req
1807. This is a great arc for her character,
that she's really...Copy !req
1808. grown up and settled into herself,
and learned what's important...Copy !req
1809. and set her priorities straight...Copy !req
1810. though she had to
go through a lot to get there.Copy !req
1811. Peter is tortured.Copy !req
1812. All I wanted was to tell her
how much I loved her.Copy !req
1813. Intoxicated.Copy !req
1814. You can't what?Copy !req
1815. Tell you...Copy !req
1816. everything.
I mean, there's so much to tell.Copy !req
1817. One of those tough scenes,
there's so much wind...Copy !req
1818. I had to loop the whole thing.Copy !req
1819. - Oh, really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1820. That I will always be there
for you.Copy !req
1821. I will always be there
to take care of you.Copy !req
1822. I promise you that.Copy !req
1823. I will always be your friend.Copy !req
1824. Only a friend...Copy !req
1825. Peter Parker?Copy !req
1826. That's all I have to give.Copy !req
1827. People had really emotional
reactions to this.Copy !req
1828. They'd get pissed off like,
"Why? What happened?Copy !req
1829. I don't understand.
Why didn't they get together?"Copy !req
1830. It's pretty emotionally mature...Copy !req
1831. of Peter there, even though
it might be a little extreme.Copy !req
1832. Well, that's as close
as he comes to... You know...Copy !req
1833. it's still very real,
but it's very noble.Copy !req
1834. - Yeah.
- Very self-sacrificing.Copy !req
1835. "It is my curse."Copy !req
1836. Who am I?Copy !req
1837. I'm Spider-Man.Copy !req
1838. Oh, you're Spider-Man?Copy !req
1839. And she touched her lips there,
like maybe she...Copy !req
1840. - Right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Maybe she knows something.Copy !req
1841. I think we wanted to leave it
ambiguous, like...Copy !req
1842. Something was...Copy !req
1843. - We're not sure if she knew or not.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1844. This is one of the coolest...Copy !req
1845. - ... sequences, I think. What a shot.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1846. All in all, I'm gonna say
it was pretty cool to play Spider-Man.Copy !req
1847. - It was kind of a fun movie.
- It was fun.Copy !req
1848. A lot of work, but a lot of fun.Copy !req
1849. And seeing it again,
which I haven't in a little while...Copy !req
1850. getting a little nostalgic
and looking forward...Copy !req
1851. - ... to revving the engine back up...
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1852. next year. Going back to work.Copy !req
1853. Back into training and...Copy !req
1854. There's Lucy Lawless.
Punk-rock girl, Lucy Lawless.Copy !req
1855. Oh, yeah.Copy !req
1856. The stunt guys did such a great job.Copy !req
1857. I mean, I was literally putting my life
in these guys' hands...Copy !req
1858. because they do all the wire rigging
and I'd be hanging 100 feet in the air.Copy !req
1859. And if they screwed up, you know,
I could be seriously injured or die.Copy !req
1860. Yeah, it was nice to have confidence
in those guys too.Copy !req
1861. Actually, for two days I was strung up
on one of those rigs...Copy !req
1862. - ... just in the set there. Yeah, yeah.
- In the office with the Goblin, yeah.Copy !req
1863. Well, there you have it.
Are you off back to New York?Copy !req
1864. I am indeed.Copy !req
1865. And maybe J. Jonah Jameson
will get...Copy !req
1866. some New York exterior scenes
in the sequel so I can...Copy !req
1867. That'd be nice. We should call Sam.Copy !req
1868. ride my bike to work
instead of flying out to L.A.Copy !req
1869. I would like to spend
some more time in Manhattan.Copy !req
1870. Yeah, well let's talk
to Laura and Sam.Copy !req
1871. - Perfect.
- See what we can figure out.Copy !req
1872. You know, now that
we're in a successful franchise...Copy !req
1873. maybe we can yield some
of our weight around and...Copy !req
1874. Well, thank you guys for
hearing us talk about our movie.Copy !req
1875. Watching ourselves
and rambling on about ourselves.Copy !req
1876. Thank you for indulging us
and I hope you enjoyed it.Copy !req
1877. And I'm gonna go try to make
another good movie for you.Copy !req
