‘Spider-Noir’s Lord & Miller Were Sold On Nicolas Cage’s Take On The Hero: One Part Bogie, One Part Bugs Bunny – Contenders TV

When it came to finding the right tone for MGM+ and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, executive producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller immediately signed on to star Nicolas Cage’s novel inspiration: 70% Humphrey Bogart and 30% Bugs Bunny.

“One of the things that you don’t think about with Noir is that you’re like, ‘It’s super serious,’” said Miller during Spider-Noir’s panel at Deadline Contenders TV event Saturday, “But Bogart always had a twinkle in his eye and he was always doing something clever, and he and Bugs Bunny have more in common than you might think.”
