Rhys Ifans spoke to The Orlando Sentinel (via CBM) about working with Marc Webb on The Amazing Spider-Man:
I put my whole body into 'Spider-Man.' It was a thrill to work with Marc Webb. He's like Roland Emmerich. He's doing blockbusters, but he has an 'indie' heart, an indie character-oriented sensibility....That was a very telling thing on the set. We knew it would be action-packed and epic and all that. But Marc made sure that the human dynamic was paramount, and that's going to elevate the film possibly to a place that the other [ Spider Man] films got to.
The creative director of the Batman cartoon took to Reddit for requests of different Batmen people wanted to see. There are a ton but Breaking Batman, above, is one of the best. Thanks to /Film editor David Chen for the heads up.

The beauty of photography or cinema is that you make every choice based on the content at hand. On The Avengers, I did a couple of shots on the iPhone and they are in the movie. In fact, they are in the trailer! I understand that sometimes there is no choice and you have to go for the cheapest option, but if you are limited for choice, you can still make poignant decisions that will effect the look of the film.
