Plus, the performances that he got from those little boys I thought was really something. What we saw in Jon was somebody who actually knew the whole thing. You don't have like a movie and then an action scene and then a movie and then an action scene. There are a lot of directors who are very, you know-successful action directors-that don't always tell the story through action, and action having a beginning, middle and end. And one of the things I loved about Cop Car was that with very little money, he was able to tell a story through action. PASCAL: Well I loved Cop Car, and so did Kevin. What was it about Jon Watts that made him the right choice for you? So, the fact that all these companies were willing to work together to make that happen-believing that everybody needed each other in order to have that happen. Truly, it was because Spider-Man is great, the character is great and people love him. And truthfully-there is nothing cynical I can find in this statement-everybody did it because they wanted Spider-Man to be great. No studio likes to share anything with anyone, let alone three studios. And Kevin and I had been talking for a very long time about that, and here's the thing that I wanted, I emphasize for all of you, because I think this is really important and I don't think it will ever happen again in the history of the movie business: You have three studios that came together to have this movie being made.

And there's only so many times that you can tell the story of, "I really want everyone to love me and if I tell them I'm Spider-Man, they'll love me, but I can't tell them!" We’ve told that story as many ways as I could figure out, and Kevin and I had been working together since the very first movie, because he used to get coffee for Avi, if you can believe it. Because he was always the only superhero. But the thing that we hadn't done was put him in the Marvel universe, and put him in a world where there are other superheroes. And we tried doing a lot of different things as you all know and documented. AMY PASCAL: We made five Spider-Man movies, and we needed to do something different.
