Marc Webb Is A Genius (And Loves His Crew)
Alright, I know we’ve all known Webb is a genius since (500) Days Of Summer hit theaters, but these Tweets prove that he’s more than just a genius when it comes to directing his films. He’s a marketing superstar. He’s made the wait for this film way more exciting than I imagined it could be, and made it the source of more speculation than any other film currently in production.
He’s turned this film into a J.J. Abrams-esque event, where people know so little, but speculate and think they know so much. As I said, absolutely everything I’ve posted today could be completely wrong. I don’t think it is, or else I wouldn’t have written it, but I still could be way off base. None of us actually know except for those involved with the film.
I’d also like to point out how many pictures of random people in the crew Webb has posted. He’s showing his appreciation for those who aren’t usually appreciated, but are still vital to the film-making process. From Ozzy the electrician to Joel the prop guy, Webb has garnered re-Tweets of pictures of crew members that the majority of fans would have never thought about otherwise. A classy move from a mastermind of his craft.
We still have a long, long time until the film comes out (it hits theaters May 2, 2014), meaning it’ll be a while until any of this speculation is confirmed. That also means there’s plenty of more time for Webb to tweet more pictures and reveal more about what he has planned.
Perhaps we’ll have enough revealed in the next month that I can do another one of these posts in 31 days. If that’s the case, be sure to check back and we can try to decode these cryptic messages together.
Until then, get your noses in your Spidey comics and try to find something out that I couldn’t. If you happen to do that, be sure to share your findings and predictions in the comments section, because after all, what’s the fun in going to a movie if you don’t know exactly what’s going to happen beforehand?
