First Look at Miles Morales' SPIDER-VERSE Horror Short Film THE SPIDER WITHIN

While fans are still enjoying Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse in theaters, Sony Pictures Animation has developed a short film set in the Spider-Verse titled The Spider-Within. This short film gives Miles Morales his own horror story.

The Wrap debuted a first look at the short, which you can see above, and the story for the film focuses on “what happens when Miles Morales (once again played by Shameik Moore) starts to feel the pressure of his life as Spider-Man, which results in a scary, trippy little jaunt through his subconscious.”

The short was directed by Jarelle Dampier, who said in an interview: “My favorite genre is horror. I think it’s the perfect envelope to give great messages out, especially to younger audiences, and I think it’s something that we’ve kind of shied away from for a long time. But I think if you take a character that kids really love and you put that character in a thrilling situation, I think they get a lot out of it. I say kids, but really I’m talking about all of us. I’m talking about the kid inside of us, you know what I mean? The ability to use something scary with something we love, I think that’s the combination to landing the points, sticking the landing in the film.”

The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is a short film created through Sony’s LENS program and it was written by Khaila Amazan. The crew also includes VFX Supervisor Clara Chan, Animation Supervisor Joe Darko, and Producers Michelle Raimo-Kouyate and David Schulenburg.

There are no details one when the short film will be released, but we’ll keep you updated!
