Sony’s decision on Spider-Man to get out ahead of the leaks has proven to be a wise one, considering how many oglers and lookers-on have managed to snap photos or video of the stunt shooting so far. With how ubiquitous high-res cellphone cameras have become, the necessarily wide-open nature of this kind of shooting, and the fact that the suit looks a bit wonky pre-color correction… they must have seen this coming. Even showing what the suit will actually look like has done nothing to quell the negativity that invariably the bursts into full bloom whenever these things are revealed though. From the first good look at the suit in-motion a couple of weeks ago, to this most recent batch of pictures to slip out, the endless snark and desk-chair costume designing has led to plenty of blowhard discussions of color balance and shoe design.
Ultimately, the thing is red and blue and has a red bug-eyed mask- little else matters. That said, see it in fully post-processed action and I’m sure it will look much sexier than the over-lit stunt suit.
What makes these On Location (password protected) pictures fun is seeing the production in action- especially the shot which seems to have the side of a truck coated in adhesive strips that allow the stunt man to stick on (and will surely be seamlessly painted out later). It looks like there will be a hell of car-chase sequence somewhere in the film- a good thing since high-speed chases are Spider-Man’s bread and butter and there’s been some worry that this film will ditch most of the action for melodramatic romance. Balance! Also, for as long as it lasts, check out a short video of Spider-Man swinging his ass around an 18-wheeler on a web, with the less-than-glamorous ending of a bunch of stunt assistant grabbing the guy once his swing is done.
Also, it’s always worth a chuckle seeing a ridiculously costumed stunt-man chilling out in a suit that probably cost as much as my life.

That suit has a very strange quality to it… very plastic. It actually looks like too-shiny CGI to me. For a moment, I thought the first photo was a shot of a figurine toy. I guess that will make it quite easy to integrate with actual CGI, and I suppose thats the point.
will they CGI in his balls later?
What. The. Fuck? is up with the asscrack shot?

That ass shot is unfortunate. Looks like Spidey has taken up doing gay porn to make ends meet.

The suit borders on looking like a cross between the Ben Reily clone Spiderman suit and the Spiderman 2099 suit. And those are two suits that I liked, but this one with its racing stripes down the legs, the blue fingertips and not to mention it looks like it wasn’t even fitted right….well, at least Tobey McGuire wasn’t there to put on more weight for the role like he did in Spiderman 3 (and I mean fat eating steaks weight.)
Agreed about the 2099 suit. I didn’t even notice the blue fingertips until you said something.
For that matter I’m surprised that it doesn’t have the weird junky web spinners from the 70′s TV show. And what is up with the ballet shoes on Spidey….huh?!
It will take a lot to convince me that a Spidey reboot it worth my time. (I am getting to the point where I almost want to boycot anything with a “reboot” label.) But I am getting interested in Cap and the Avengers films.

“Ultimately, the thing is red and blue and has a red bug-eyed mask- little else matters.” Every designer in the world would disagree with you. Why don’t we just go back to the suit in that shitty spandex TV effort of the late 70s/early 80s if that’s the case? Numbnuts.
