It's hard to have Tim Buraton's "Batman" and Richard Donner's "Superman", but after ELOEL Schumacher's Batman movies have become laughter, the genre seemed to be dead in the water.

Enter: Sam Raimi. The Director of Horror already had Make a name for himself as the author of Gonzo behind the films "Wicked Dead"With an allure to launch the camera through the air at incredible speeds while jumping between humor and horror like an Olympic athlete. So when Sony Pictures brought it to the ship to bring Spider-Man to the silver screen for the first time, no one was sure it would work.

Among those who were skeptical was Stan, The man whose name is synonymous with Marvel Comics. Obtaining Lee's approval was a critical test of the film's sustainability. If Lee didn't like what he saw, they wouldn't stand a chance with real fans, and producer Avi Arad shared a funny anecdote for Lee's reaction to see "Spider-Man" CGI for the first time that almost led him to tears.

Today is a well -known mechanics of approaching the difficult film for visual effects: The director will take the script and work with the visual effects team to collect a rough version of the stage that involves rudimentary visual effects to give a sense of how it will look like before.

The review of these "pre-visualization" cuts of the film is a key part of the process because all the notes given can be easier to solve before the visual effects team begin to stain your hands, and so producer Avi Arad has made sure to share this early reduction in the film. Unfortunately for Arad, he failed to prepare him for what he was supposed to see, which led to a funny moment that called Arad "One of the greatest moments" of making the film:

"(I) I was showing Stan for the first time to fly CGI to Spider-Man. I see it, and he was like uncle, you know? And he whispered in his ear, 'that's it?' And then I realized that he did not know he was a pre-vision.

Stan Lee was already an old man at the moment when Spiderman entered production, and the visual effect process was still in its infancy in 2000, so it's no surprise that Stan did not realize that this was just a rough cut of what the film would look like. Fortunately for the team behind Spiderman, they were able to convince him that everything would succeed:

"I said:" Stan, the world has never seen anything like it. " "Yes, but it doesn't look cool." I told him, 'Don't worry. However, when he saw it ended, he had a bunch of tears in his eyes because it's his baby. "

The rest is, as they say, history. "Spider-Man" has become the greatest superhero film of all time, thanks to its important visual effects that, as Arad described, the world has never seen before. And while Lee may have never fulfilled his dream of playing Spiderman's greatest hatred, J. Jonah JamesimsonAt least Raimi and the company were able to give their baby blockbuster treatment he deserved.
