Spider-Verse movie to be 3D and hand-drawn
>Jake Johnson(New Girl, Jurassic World) is your new Peter Parker. But unlike all of the other Spider-Man movies we’ve seen thus far, Sony Pictures Animation’s upcomingSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versewon’t follow Peter as the central character. Instead, it tells the story of Miles Morales, Marvel’s half-black half-Hispanic character who is bitten by a radioactive spider and takes on the superhero mantle.
>During Sony’s presentation at CinemaCon yesterday, they debuted a new sizzle reel of footage from the movie, which is a hybrid of hand-drawn and CG animation that has the feeling of a comic book story popping off the page and onto the big screen.
>Shameik Moore(Dope, The Get Down) stars as Miles Morales, and last teaser ends with a quick encounter between Miles and Peter Parker.Online reports about the CinemaCon footage indicate that when Peter spoke in that footage, it was with Johnson’s voice. (When asked to confirm the casting, a Sony representative did not immediately respond.)
>Assuming Johnson is actually on board, this is perfect casting. Johnson has built a career on playing snarky and quick-witted jokesters, and he’s a great delivery vehicle for writerPhil Lord‘s sense of humor. I’m a big fan of Johnson’s work in an indie comedy calledDrinking Buddies, which showed he can have a mixture of sincerity and sarcasm thatshould serve him well as this version of Spider-Man.
