We’ve already seen pics, now a video has surfaced from the set of the new Marc Webb directed Untitled Spider-Man film which involves a stunt performer (not actually leading man Andrew Garfield) doing a front handspring flip onto the back of a moving pickup truck. The video which you can see HERE, popped up on TMZ, sadly however, it is not an official video from a source like Entertainment Tonight (who usually gets good BTS access), but rather from someone’s personal video recorder.

While the video quality is not the best you certainly get a good idea of what is going on here and you can probably imagine what it will look like in the finished film. Having said that I have always loved actual stunts by actual performers over heavy CGI work which is one of the few pet peeves I had with Raimi’s films. Sometimes Spider-Man felt too CGI for my liking. So this stunt really comes through for me on that. I’m guessing that the overall terrible looking costume has to do with the distance and quality with which this video was shot because I quite liked the official image from a few days ago. So despite the bad looking costume from far away is anyone else excited to see such a cool daring stunt being performed here instead of green screen and CGI?
