[fully lost] "Year of Spider-Man" 5 minute live-action promotional short film from 2000
Just found out about this and created a wiki page for it the other day: https://lostmediawiki.com/Year_of_Spider-Man_(lost_informational_short_film;_2000)
It was a 5 minute short film created to show Marvel investors to get them excited because the first Spidey movie was in development and on schedule to finally be released by Sony in a few short years. There's a handful of snapshots from the short and it looks neat, the vibe of it simply looks top notch. They use the same suit for many public appearances at the time and at the Universal theme parks.
I used to browse a lot of Spidey fan sites in the early 2000s looking for any info on the movie or comics as a kid but I missed seeing anything about this before, thankfully a few places had some stuff about this thing archived otherwise I never would have heard of it. I'm super into obscure stuff with the character, I created the pages for the Spider-Man versus Kraven the Hunter page a few years back as well as for Spider-Man: The Venom Factor. Unfortunately it's all stuff that doesn't seem to have any leads out there.
For this, I found the person who apparently owned Big Chair Productions was named Rob Michael Cohn but it doesn't seem like there's any good contact for him out there.
