14 minutes of 1999 chaos: Will Smith, a giant spider, and peak Hollywood excess.
This is a promotional behind the scenes featurette that originally appeared on HBO. A lot of the usual interviews and behind-the-scenes clips, but enjoyably, there are a few shots that look at how the FX were filmed.
Practical Effects
Giant mechanical spider construction footage that explains everything.
Production
Salma Hayek hosting with visible confusion about this assignment.
Director
Mark Herzog
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Barry Sonnenfeld originally wanted the spider for Men in Black, where it was rejected for being too ridiculous.
This featurette captures peak '90s blockbuster arrogance mere months before The Matrix rewired Hollywood's approach to action.
