What did we learn from this?
- Don’t hire writers who haven’t wrote one major film
- if you’re adapting a specific comic book, don’t throw away all the things people love from it
- make sure everybody is on the same page BEFORE you start filming
Destin Daniel Cretton reveals Tom Holland improvised a crucial line in the scene where Peter visits Aunt May’s grave near the end of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’.
“[He] came up to me and said, “I’m just going to try some dialogue.” I said, “Great.” So we mic’d him up, and he squatted down, gave the flowers to Aunt May, and said the lines that ended up in the movie.
At the time, I didn’t think much of it. I was just letting him improvise. But as soon as he said, “You’d be happy to know that I’ve decided I’m not going to do this alone anymore,” that statement became the north star of the entire movie.”
