Sam Raimi, director of the upcoming Spider-Man movie, told the official Marvel Comics Web site that he's aiming for a PG-13 rating for the film. "The movie is really being made for the whole family," Raimi told the site. "Spider-Man worked as a comic book, because in Stan Lee's original conception, he was a real human being. It really brought out the base of people who could appreciate comic books."

Raimi also added, "I think it completely changed the demographic at that point, because suddenly, here was a real character with a love relationship--and sometimes two. He had family problems. It wasn't about being a strong guy. He was a real human being. So I think we're trying to make the picture appeal to an intelligent audience, so that adults can really enjoy it. But at its heart, it will have a lot of fun and excitement and adventure that the kids will also enjoy."

And in the upcoming edition of Marvel's Ultimate Marvel Magazine, Raimi will talk about his long time affection for Spidey's character, also based on a report from the site.

And on March 23, expect new feature content on the official Spider-Man Movie Web Site.
