The quality of material on television is really spectacular and this is an emblem of that.
You also did an episode ofThe Office.
Was that fun to do?
Marc: Yeah, it was cool.
Doing that TV was a little bit different because the language had already been developed.
But, it was really fun to work with the actors.
Kathy Bates was really fantastic.
Was it important for you to giveLone Stara real feature film look?
It absolutely was really important.
For me, I just looked at it like a movie.
Did you have more of a budget than you did on(500) Days of Summer?
Did coming from that indie background help you get this done with this limitations?
Marc: Oh, yeah.
Youre operating at a very fast pace.
But, I also come from music videos and commercials, where the pace is also very clippy.
Is there any update you’re free to give about howSpider-Manis going?
Marc: Oh, I cant talk about that yet.
But, youre working on it and everything is going well?
Marc: I dont know yet, but well make an announcement.
I know I sound like a jerk, but all that stuff has to be talked about first.
Are you ready for the jokes about your last name, in association withSpider-Man?
Marc: Well see.Varietyhas already spun the puns, as it were.
Im sure it will continue.
Hopefully, theyll come up with more interesting versions of that.
With the advent of cable TV, its very sophisticated, very interesting and more like a novel.
How deep you’re free to get into the characters is very specific to TV.
Its just different than movies.
