Marc Webb: Amazing Spider-Man is not inspired by Sam Raimi’s series

Marc Webb, who is the director of The Amazing Spider-Man, has played down comparisons from Sam Raimi’s series. He claims that his movie is not inspired by the previous three releases which were made by director
Sam Raimi and admitted that his take will be a totally new one. He added that the movie has a new villain and Peter Parker’s role is also different.

Webb claimed that it is really important for him to make it clear that his movie is not inspired by any of the previous takes on the Marvel Comics character.

“It’s really important for us to be able to communicate that this isn’t a remake of Sam Raimi’s movie. There’s a new territory, there’s a new villain, it’s a different Peter Parker,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.

The director added that the movie has all the moods to it and there are dark as well as lighter moments in the movie. He added that the movie also has humour to it and the story is a totally different one.

“There are certainly darker, more intense feelings in this movie. There is betrayal, there is tragedy, but there’s also humour and romance… There are moments of furiousness and gravity, absolutely,” he continued.

He stated that there have not been major changes in the new outing and the basic premise is still the same.

“Certainly the materials that have come out have a darker sentiment or there’s a darker projection, but we’re very keen on staying loyal to the humour of
Spider-Man,” he concluded.

The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to release on July 3, 2012.
