Line #18 Trivia/SpiderManTheMovie


1	* AshcanCopy: [[https://youtu.be/XZZYfqkzATo The Kellogg's Mail-In PC Demo]] was nothing more than a re-skinned version of ''[[VideoGame/SpiderMan2000 Spider-Man]]'', but with the default costume being re-textured to look like the movie's costume, the intro cutscene and opening Creator/StanLee dialogue removed (all other cutscenes are still in the game), and it would go up to the fight with Rhino before ending.
2	* CastTheRunnerUp: Creator/JoshKeaton was originally going to voice Spidey and did many of his lines, but Creator/TobeyMaguire became available at the last minute. Keaton's lines were used for Harry Osborn instead, and would go on to [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan get his]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 chances at]] [[VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions playing]] [[VideoGame/SpiderManEdgeOfTime Spidey]].
3	* CreatorBacklash: Jamie Fristrom, one of the designers for the game, was unsatisfied with the way the web-swinging worked since in his words, it looks like Spider-Man was flying instead of swinging as Spider-Man. The executives told him it was too late to change the mechanics as the levels were already done. He decided to use his prototype mechanics for ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2'' and worked on it with Treyarch designers.
4	* ExecutiveMeddling: In a nicer way. Jamie Fristrom wanted to change the swinging mechanics as he already developed a prototype as he was unsatisfied by the way the web-swinging worked. The executives told him it was already too late as the levels were already done and he agreed. He'd eventually decided to use the newer mechanics, albeit a prototype to be used in the second game.
5	* OrphanedReference: Spider-Man's web use is limited in this game (as opposed to being organic like in the movie) due to Treyarch using an older script for reference in which Peter does use web shooters.
6	* TheOtherDarrin:
7	** Cat O'Conner replaces Creator/KirstenDunst as Mary Jane in this game.
8	** Jay Gordon replaces Creator/JKSimmons and Wrestling/RandySavage in the respective roles of J. Jonah Jameson and Bonesaw [=McGraw=].
9	** Creator/JoshKeaton replaces Creator/JamesFranco as Harry Osborn.
10	** Peter Lurie replaces Ron Perkins as Mendell Stromm.
11	** An unknown actor replaces Creator/CliffRobertson as Uncle Ben.
12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** Originally, Treyarch wasn't working on a movie tie-in game, but instead an UpdatedRerelease of the first Neversoft ''Spider-Man'' game for the Platform/PlayStation2. The decision to shift projects came about when Activision struck a deal with Sony and Columbia to produce video games based on the ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'' early on in development.
14	** Sound files in the game's files reveal there was supposed to be a character gallery structured in the same vein as ''VideoGame/SpiderMan2000'', but with Tobey Maguire narrating instead of Stan Lee.
15	** Also in the game's sound files was an alternate background to the "Race Against Time" stage, in which Green Goblin would threaten New York with {{EMP}} bombs instead of deadly gas.
16	** A Multiplayer build was in development, but ended up getting cut.
17	** As revealed in [[https://youtu.be/5GMpu5Jer8s this E3 footage]], there was an alternate game over screen [[ItsAWonderfulFailure where the front page of the Daily Bugle's newspaper would mock you on your failure]].
