So I would say the studio has been very generous.
But that isnt how New Yorkers experience New York.
We dont go and stand under the Empire State Building its somewhere over the top of the tenement there.
The scene we saw filming on that hot June day was of a graduation.
The only problem is, Peter Parkers late for the ceremony.
The kiss, we later learned, was initially improvised.
I didnt know I was going to do it, Andrew Garfield revealed.
I just thought, I just missed my girlfriends valedictorian speech.
How am I going to make it up to her?
Then I was thinking, Im graduating.
I dont really give a fuck about this place, and fuck all of the people.
So Im going to go in and have fun.
If there was one word that kept surfacing throughout our day on the Spidey set, it was funny.
Remember the scene inThe Amazing Spider-Manin the subway carriage?
The sequel will have more physical comedy moments like that, were told.
It was fun, playful, physical stuff, Webb told us.
We took that to the extreme [this time.]
Im a big fan of old Buster Keaton movies, and what Chaplin used to do.
Its also funny, agrees producer Matt Tolmach, casually dropping that familiar word into the discussion again.
We felt the need and the desire to really go to the tone of Spider-Man.
Its intense and funny.
Hes always so funny and self-deprecating.
One of the things Im doing in this movie is embracing the lunacy., says Webb.
Did we mention itll also be funny?
I read about the trickster archetype, and what he does is uses his enemys weaknesses against themselves.
Bugs Bunny would be a good example of that.
Its the kind of action you dont normally see in aSpider-Manmovie as well, Armstrong said.
Theres a big vehicle chase, theres a couple of fights without Spider-Man involved.
A lot more in this film than the last one).
I dont enjoy it, Stone said.
I dont enjoy physical activity all that much.
Im okay with it.
I dont really love fighting.
Id rather do it verbally.
Id rather verbally beat someone down.
But yes, that is happening.
Its just so hard… no, its really fun.
I probably need to be more physical in general.
Theyre both moving into the future in a pretty complicated emotional state.
He has to love her.
Theres two hours he cant meet someone else and fall in love with her.
As weve since found out, her characters being dropped from the film altogether.
Because it provides an operatic quality, which is what we were going for, Marc Webb says.
And, you know, they have a tricky relationship.
Ill leave that for the movie!
I feel more confident in the script, Garfield said.
The story is beautiful and layered and rich.
So in that respect, I came in much more confident.
Were trying to do a lot more practical, Webb told us.
Youd be insane not to take them seriously.
Paul Giamatti is a jewel of an arthouse actor, and you make him this crazy villain.
And again, the internet goes crazy.
This gives us license to say to Paul, Go crazy.
In a first for theSpider-Manmovies, Marc Webbs sequel will feature at least one scene with snow in it.
[Laughs] Wed sit there and huddle and say, This is worth it!
Rhino likes to bust through walls thats what he does.
He smashes right through the wall of a bank.
Thats how he robs it.
Hes a little bit weirdly playful in that way.
Because the set will rotate.
[Peter Parker] doesnt believe in gravity the same way we do, Friedberg said.
He doesnt have to adhere to its rules.
It wasnt on a gimbal.
It was on a rotisserie.
But he can walk on walls.
Its like a slight-of-hand thing where theres lots of Spider-Men appearing one at a time from different angles.
How will this work on screen?
Weve no idea but were looking forward to finding out.
One of the more surreal moments during our stay on the Spidey set?
