SPIDER-MAN (2002) | Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man Trilogy, Part 2

After a long, long road, the rights to the Spider-Man character finally landed with Sony/Columbia and before long, director Sam Raimi was attached to direct.
In this episode, we'll take a deep dive into the creation of Raimi's first SPIDER-MAN film, from the early days of its conception, through multiple screenplays (and screenwriters), the casting of Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst in the film's lead roles, all the way through filming and release. We'll also dig into the film's legacy and how it led the way for the current comic book movie boom, in Part 2 of our look at Sam Raimi's SPIDER-MAN Trilogy.
