David Fincher mocked the Spider-Man origin concept and explained his vision for the superhero movie.In an interview with The Guardian, Fincher opened up about presenting his concept for a Spider-Man movie in 1999. In his unique take, Fincher’s vision omitted the traditional “bitten by a radioactive spider” narrative from the comic book, instead focusing on an adult Peter Parker. With a laugh, The Killer director recalls, “They didn’t seem too keen on the idea.” Their perspective was clear: “Why tamper with the origin story?” Fincher responded, “Because it’s rather simplistic?” While the original origin story held significant meaning for many, Fincher’s view was different. He looked at it and remarked, “A red and blue spider? There are countless creative opportunities in life, and that just isn’t one of them.”Ultimately, Sam Raimi was chosen for the project. Sony Pictures had Fincher along with Roland Emmerich, Tony Scott, Chris Columbus, Barry Sonnenfeld, Tim Burton, and Michael Bay as potential directors. In 2009, Fincher expressed a similar opinion about the Spider-Man movie at the BFI Southbank. He got a laugh out of the audience in attendance when he said that making the movie would have kept him up at night because he “just couldn’t shoot somebody being bitten by a radioactive spider.”David S.
