Watch out for this Spidey. There’s a new fan film in the works launching soon titled The Spider, described as a “horror take on Spider-Man.” Not to be confused with the other two actual spider horror films opening soon – Sting and Infested. Written and directed by Andy Chen, an up-and-coming young filmmaker who goes under the name “Locust Garden” on social media, the short film features a legit cast. Chandler Riggs (seen in “The Walking Dead” & “A Million Little Things”) stars as Spider-Man, along with Caylee Cowan, Matthew Vorce, Kyra Gardner, Holgie Forrester, Carl Addicott, David Rice, Andrew Hernon, Kealani Kitaura, Ronan Arthur & Ben Thomas. With a score by Alexander Taylor. It is an entirely fan-made, non-profit film inspired by Spider-Man. Our pals over at Live for Film also point out that there is actually a “fully mutated Man-Spider” from the comics, and this short also seems similar to the Truth In Journalism Venom fan film from 2013. Some cool shots in this quick teaser – from the looks of it he’s going to go full The Fly. Chen’s hype: “Look out for this one!!! It’s going to be the most insane one yet!!!” Be ready.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Andy Chen’s The Spider, direct from YouTube:
Thanks to Live for Films for the tip on this short and this trailer for it. Here’s the only very brief description via YouTube: “A new horror take on Spider-Man.” The Spider is written and directed by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andy Chen who goes under the moniker “Locust Garden” – you can see more of his work on his Vimeo or visit his official website or follow him on IG @locustgarden. Produced by Artin John & Kealani Kitaura. Chen explains: “I had this idea to make a horror Spider-Man fan film soon after my Shrek horror film blew up. And I’m so honored to announce we have the amazing Chandler Riggs playing Peter Parker!!” The Spider is based off of characters from The Amazing Spider-Man comics by Marvel (this is a non-profit fan film, unaffiliated and not endorsed by Marvel, Sony, or Disney). There’s no final release date set for The Spider yet – Chen says this will be debuting online “soon”. To watch more shorts, click here. Your thoughts?
