This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Spider-Man Versus Kraven the Hunter''''' is a 1974 American superhero short film written and directed by Bruce Cardozo.<ref>((Cite book |last=Young |first=Clive |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AhzuAAAAMAAJ&q=Spider-Man+Versus+Kraven+the+Hunter+fan+film |title=Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind the Camera |date=2008-10-15 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |isbn=978-0-8264-2923-0 |language=en))</ref> It is a [[fan film]] that was endorsed by [[Marvel Comics]] and authorized by [[Stan Lee]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.popmatters.com/review/72519-homemade-hollywood-by-clive-young/|title = Homemade Hollywood by Clive Young, PopMatters|date = 14 April 2009))</ref>

==History==
According to an article in the 1975 issue of [[FOOM]], the film features appearances by [[Kraven the Hunter]] and [[Gwen Stacy]], and the story is based on issue fifteen of the comic book, ''[[The Amazing Spider-Man]]''.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.fanfilmfollies.com/featured/ten-fan-films-that-well-never-see/|title = Ten Fan Films That We'll Never See - Fan Film Follies|date = 21 March 2010))</ref><ref>http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tW3g8zCM6c0/TQmDfoF07jI/AAAAAAAABWo/VSBffzAS2cs/s1600/FOOM%2B4%2BSpidey%2Bfan%2Bfilm.jpg ((Bare URL image|date=March 2022))</ref>

In October 1972, Cardozo wrote a letter to Stan Lee explaining the project. He received a very enthusiastic letter of approval providing the film was limited to a non-commercial exhibition (because of commercial licensing commitments Marvel Comics had at the time). Next, he presented the idea to his experimental film class, proposing a half-hour, 16mm, color, sound, semi-professional Spider-Man movie. When he outlined the special effects the class felt that it was impossible, but his instructor, Peter Glushanok, was very interested and gave Cardozo the go-ahead.

The first term was spent almost entirely in pre-production. Cardozo was a perfectionist and spoke with hundreds of people before deciding on the cast alone. He wanted the audience to say to themselves, "he or she looks and acts exactly like the characters." Daphne Stevens and Marilyn Hecht made the costumes, Richard Eberhardt designed the graphics, such as the Spider-signal, (as well as playing Spider-Man in costume) and Art Schweitzer created the unusual lighting effects featured throughout the film. Cardozo worked on the scenario, production direction and special effects.

They built an entire section of the building for Spider-Man to climb. They used travelling matte shots to make Spider-Man swing through Times Square at night with all the neon signs flashing in the background to produce breathtaking and dazzling visuals. Rather than using a phoney-looking backdrop when Spider-Man climbs up and down buildings, they matted in colorful sunsets and backgrounds and utilized travelling mattes in a scene where Kraven sends lions after Spider-Man in the final conflict.

The second term was hectic with more shooting and editing by Julie Tanser. When the film was bout 3/4 finished, they gave Stan Lee, Ray Thomas and other members of the bullpen, a preview of some of the key scenes of the film. They were very impressed and enthusiastic about the results and encouraged them to finish the project.

Cardozo and his crew had hoped to have the film distributed in some form in the future, but on April 24, 2015, Cardozo died, and his computer containing the only known copy of the film was destroyed, making it a [[Lost film|lost film]]. Its last known showing was at the Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention in Los Angeles in 2005.<ref>((cite web|author=CBR staff|url=http://www.cbr.com/august-14th-la-scifi-comic-book-con-details/?view=list|publisher=[[Comic Book Resources]]|title=August 14th LA SciFi & Comic Book Con Details|accessdate=2017-08-26|date=August 3, 2005|archive-date=2017-09-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170915032954/http://www.cbr.com/august-14th-la-scifi-comic-book-con-details/?view=list|url-status=dead))</ref> The film was never available online because Cardozo was against it.<ref>((cite web|author=Green, Scott|url=http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/06/23-1/video-proto-cosplay-captured-in-1969-spider-man-fan-movie|title= Proto-Cosplay Captured in 1969 &quot;Spider-Man&quot; Fan Movie|publisher=[[Crunchyroll]]|accessdate=2017-08-26|date=June 23, 2012))</ref>
