One of the stars of the lastSpider-Manseries, now mega-starJames Franco, spoke toShortList Magazineabout the new film,The Amazing Spider-Man:
I had a great time on the Spider-Man films and Tobey [Maguire], Kirsten [Dunst] and Sam Raimi [the series' director] have all become lifelong friends. My role in those films was not my favourite but I’m OK with the new one. The thing is, the technology is advancing so fast that often the new renditions sell themselves as having the cutting-edge technology.

Sometimes it’s about the new actors, but if you think about the first Batman films, those performances are great. You’ll always remember Jack Nicholson as The Joker regardless of what new technology comes along.
