“Spider-Man Noir” To Get A B&W Version?

The forthcoming Nic Cage-led “Spider-Man Noir” TV series at Amazon may be releasing versions in both color and black-and-white.

In a recent interview with Coming Soon, actor Lukas Haas offered an update on the live-action Amazon MGM Studios series in which he co-stars with Lamorne Morris, Brendan Gleeson, Jack Huston, Li Jun Li, Cameron Britton and more.

Cage plays an aging and down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who is forced to grapple with his past life as the city’s one and only superhero. The actor reprises his role in human form after voicing the character in 2018’s animated “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”.

Haas plays an underling of Brendan Gleeson’s character (believed to be the film’s villain) and dubs it an incredible project. He then reveals the possible split versions:

“Just getting to, to do that noir thing. It was very genuine film noir, the way they filmed it, like the long shadows. We filmed it in – I think it may come out in both black and white and color, but when we filmed it, the monitors were all black and white, so you got this feeling and it looked very, very authentic.

To the point that I would actually go and look at the monitor and think I was looking at some older footage, but it was actually just a monitor of what was on the camera at the time. They did a beautiful job with the filters and all that stuff, making it look like genuine old 1930s, black and white film.

But obviously, just the writing, and Nic is incredible. It’s just a really fun project and I cannot wait to see how it turns out.”

Abraham Popoola, Karen Rodriguez, Cary Christopher, Michael Kostroff, Scott MacArthur, Joe Massingill, Whitney Rice, Amanda Schull, Andrew Caldwell, Amy Aquino, and Andrew Robinson also star in the series which hasn’t set a premiere date as yet on Amazon Prime.
