Everything We Learned – /Film. On August 2. 2, 2. I traveled to Atlanta to visit the set of Spider- man: Homecoming and learned a lot about the first solo adventure of Tom Holland’s wall- crawling superhero. Let’s run through everything you could possibly want to know. Peter Parker. Even though this movie is set to come out a year after the release of Captain America: Civil War, the film’s opening takes place during the events of that film. In the movie’s opening montage, Peter Parker goes on a whirlwind tour of Berlin, discovers the first class life, and has a lot of fun with his new suit. The movie’s actually story begins just under five months later, with Parker as a high school sophomore. Tom Holland explained that for Peter Parker, “It’s almost like he went to summer camp and now he’s back at school again.” He elaborated: “Here’s this kid who goes on this adventure with Iron Man and all of the Avengers, and then suddenly he’s stuck on the subway going back to school. It’s a very fun thing to play; that sort of stroppy teenager after having the best time of his life. But there’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel for Peter Parker.”When the film begins, Peter Parker has been Spider- Man for less than a year. There’s a line in Civil War that got cut where he says, “the last four or six months, or something, crime had dropped by four or six percent” which implies when he started. Aside from the airport battle in Berlin, Spider- Man has not come up against any super- villains. However, the kids at school make fun of Peter Parker (one of them calls him “Penis Parker”). They shot the exteriors at a school in Brooklyn (Franklin K. Lane), and the interiors were shot at a school in Atlanta (Grady High School). Director Jon Watts wanted the world to look like a modern day high school and not like a movie high school. Producer Amy Pascal said that “He brought a modern day sensibility to it that I think was really fresh.” Watts himself said that the high school atmosphere was “a big part” of his pitch for the movie: “The very first thing I made was a look book of what I wanted the world to look like and what the kids should look like and the high school should look like. I lived in New York for thirteen years and it should look like a school in New York, it shouldn’t look like a school in the Midwest in the 5. So I pulled a bunch of pictures of kids and documentary photos of kids in schools, and that was part of my pitch and everyone was really into that and followed through with the casting, which is so, so cool. I love the kids.”One of the goals was to make it look like a real high school in Queens, and that meant casting a class full of diverse students. Pascal said it was really important “because it’s the world that we live in. And we don’t live in that other world anymore. And we needed to catch up with the way the world really is, and people who go to the movies and people want to see themselves and. But, we did.”The Story Approach. Co- Producer Eric Hauserman Carroll explained how the story was developed: “We at Marvel start with something called the Discussion Document, where it’s sort of like a Mission Statement. It’s a 2. 0 to 3. This is what we think will be fun! Here’s some cool characters!’ We laid them all out and put all of the ones who had been in the movies before and Vulture just felt compatible with the MCU. When we sort of struck on the fun thematic thing of the Vulture being somebody who scavenges what the Avengers and their enemies leave behind, we all just got really excited by that. But we told all of the writers and all of the directors who came in, . It’s one of these best- idea types of scenarios.’ If someone came in with the greatest Doc Ock pitch of all time, then we were like, ! It feels new, it feels different, it feels MCU specific, we would have done it. But frankly, I think all but two people came in and pitched the Vulture to us. And we were excited. We were leaning that way anyway, but then we heard that idea that . It feels MCU. It feels unique. It feels like you haven’t seen it before.’”Spider- Man’s origin story will not be explored in this movie, although the film will reference it. Uncle Ben is mentioned. The producers assured us that Spider- Man’s origin story has not been changed in this new incarnation. They wanted to avoid retelling the story because they felt it would lock them into a structure of a movie that has already been made a couple of times. They won’t even show a flashback to his origin because the audience already knows it well. Spider- Man: Homecoming has been described as a real high school story – they want Spider- Man to be this complicated small world soap opera. This will be a story told from the ground- level. Even Peter Parker has a fear of heights, like anyone would standing on a multi- story building. Critics share their thoughts on Spider-Man: Homecoming, the wall-crawler's newest adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a 2017 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man, co-produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios, and. We will not see him swing down 5th avenue in this movie or jump off a 4. There is a bit of reluctance and we see him taking it in small steps, working his way up to the Spider- Man we know. Peter Parker doesn’t want to be Peter Parker. He knows that people love Spider- Man and would rather be him. But as he invests himself more into his alter ego, he leaves a lot of people in his personal life angry that he has abandoned them. As described to us, the theme of the film is Peter Parker having to come to acceptance of his place: “Who am I?” It’s a coming of age story. It’s him wanting desperately to be accepted by the cool kids, but then realizing that he is cool. They have made a conscious decision not to include or mention anyone who has been in the past Spider- Man films outside of Peter, Flash and Aunt May. So don’t expect to meet Harry Osborn or hear a mention of Oscorp. Their goal is for every frame of this to feel different from the previous incarnations. Also, don’t expect to see The Daily Bugle for this and a more logistical reason. As Eric Hauserman Carroll explained: “We toyed with it for a while, but again, we didn’t want to go down that road right away, and if we do do a Daily Bugle, we want to do it in a way that feels contemporary. Spider-Man: Homecoming is a 2017 superhero film directed by Jon Watts, and the sixteenth entry of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Homecoming marks Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Homecoming works as both a (very) funny high school comedy/drama and strong standalone superhero movie set in the MCU. Spider-Man: Homecoming has all the elements of a blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) film, including the unmissable Stan Lee cameo. But what separates. A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web. Working in a newspaper while fighting crime and overachieving, it just felt like one of those things where like? Maybe it’s what he does in college or something like that. But for now, no.”Production designer Oliver Scholl says most of the film is set in Queens, with Manhattan looming in the background: “It’s a very conscious choice to say he is not in Manhattan. Tom Holland plays the beloved webslinger in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming,' his first full adventure in Marvel's Cinematic Universe. A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging superhero. Midway through “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” there’s a sequence that revs the picture up in that buzzy spectacular “Hey, I’m watching a Marvel movie!” way. Manhattan stands for the big guys. It’s always across the river. That’s what he aspires to. That’s where the Avengers Tower is across the river. Looming in the sunset. But he’s not there. Yet.”The Spider- Man Suit. As indicated by the most recent trailer, we will see Peter Parker in his homemade suit that we saw balled up in Civil War. The suit is really simple: goggles, sweatpants, a red hoody with a logo made in sharpie. Peter doesn’t get his sexy close- up shots of getting in costume. Instead, it’s super clumsy, as you’d expect from someone trying to put on a onesie in an ally. The advanced Spider- Man suit that Tony Stark created is filled with cool technology that we didn’t see in Civil War. As you saw in the trailer, the Spider- Man logo on the chest can be deployed as a remote drone. Most of the cool tech has been disabled as part of some safety systems, and Tony can track the suit via GPS. There’s a lot of practical Spider- Man in this movie, more than even the producers had expected going in. The suit plays very well in medium- to- wide shots, as well as close- ups that don’t involve the moving eyes (which require CG). The filmmakers realized they can get away with more than they initially thought. After Parker is able to deactivate the “Training Wheels” protocol, he discovers the suit has a voice operating system like Jarvis, although voice casting was not decided at the time we were on set. The suit also has a holographic interface. Says Carroll: “Probably most notably, it starts talking to him, and he goes, . So he’s like, . Pretty much drive? How are you going to get there?’ And he’s like, . Carroll explained: “Scientific accidents gave almost everyone their powers in all five of the previous ones. So when we looked to reinvent the movie, we looked at what sort of tact we could take. And one was that all of the MCU movies try to have this quasi- plausibility, you know what I mean? As much as we can. And we felt like if a kid is running around in a skin- tight suit with all of these cool features, it’s probably going to be pretty high tech.”We will see Peter Parker inventing his web fluid, a scene we saw in the first teaser trailer. A chemist helped us figure out what would melt good together to give us that length of . So that was something we actually shot,” Carroll said. The hologram we saw on the ceiling in the Civil War post- credits scene is part of the interface for his web shooters. Carroll explained: “One of the ideas is that when he does this . That was sort of unlocked for him. So when he shines that, it will go . And if he wants to web a guy to the wall, it goes . It’s kind of like a DSLR camera. He can shoot without it, or he can hold that thing a second, get his aiming right, and really choose a web to shoot.”Tom Holland’s favorite new gadget in the tech suit involves augmented reality: “My favorite gizmo that the suit has. It’s almost like the first time you play a video game and the controls are all funny, and it’s really funny seeing him look like a badass, but inside panic and not know what to do.”As for how any of the tech works, don’t ask Robert Downey Jr. Holland recalls that he was “doing that scene with Robert and I asked one of the prop guys, Can you walk me through what we’re doing here? Because I was unscrewing a DVD player, and Robert was like, Dude, I don’t know what Tony Stark does. It was great.”Pages: 1 2. Next page. Cool Posts From Around the Web.
