Zendaya<\/a> are also involved in campaigns for other 2026 contenders like The Odyssey and Dune 3 and Holland is in pre-production on a new film, so their availability going forward is not known. Rothman himself plans to host screenings and tastemaker events on both coasts.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"\"](\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\")

\n\tIn addition to Los Angeles and New York, there will be special screenings in London, Paris, Madrid, Copenhagen, Sydney, Rome, Mexico City, Berlin and Tokyo. And, as Deadline teased in September, the studio plans to do a big rerelease of the movie before year\u2019s end \u2014 possibly as Deadline intimated with some unseen footage \u2014 that will also bring new attention to the film and hopefully inspire those Academy voters who have not seen the movie (and based on my conversations there are many) to see it in a theater.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI think Academy members would be interested in this because it\u2019s very significant from a storytelling movie. This is really the first of these kind of movies that I can think of that does not climax in a giant battle. In this movie there is no giant action sequence at the end. The climax of this movie are two young people sitting on the edge of a bed, talking to each other, and sharing their their deepest pain. This movie is melancholy in that way and beautiful,\u201d he said. \u201cI think people might take Spider-Man for granted, and not only that, I think they make assumptions about it. When you see the movie those assumptions are undone. It\u2019s a very moving, quite personal film. Destin (Daniel Cretton) is a really personal filmmaker. This is the guy who made Short Term 12. That\u2019s what I say when I encourage people to see it, you know, people of my generation. I say you may take it for granted, you may think it\u2019s just another, but it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s really the first, when I think about it. I think it\u2019s the first superhero movie that\u2019s really a super person movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\tTo date, the only movies even remotely in the \u201csuperhero\u201d universe to crack the Best Picture race have been 2018\u2019s Black Panther, and 2019\u2019s Joker, though the latter is really a drama far removed from what is expected in the genre.<\/p>\n
\n\tSo the biggest question is can Sony change the trajectory of the franchise in terms of Oscar and get the point across that the record-shattering success of this movie is for a reason? Rothman compares it to the Lord of the Rings franchise in hoping there can be recognition for a movie that has taken a known brand to, yes, a brand new day.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe Academy members are really, really smart, and they know filmmaking,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if they see the movie, which maybe they wouldn\u2019t necessarily do, if they see the movie, I think they\u2019ll recognize how extremely skillful it is, because they\u2019ll know how hard it is to tell an intimate emotional story in that arena. But more than that, I think it\u2019s this specific movie. It\u2019s the work that Destin did, as I said, a true humanist director who put character and emotion first.\u201d<\/p>\n
