As someone who covers a huge amount of streaming news most weeks, it takes quite a lot to surprise me – I've seen countless shows launch with ominous teasers, first-look images and overhyped press releases in my time. That said, I think it's worth spotlighting the fact that Prime Video just announced something that sets a pretty bold new precedent.
Taking the wraps off its highly-anticipated adaptation of Spider-Noir, the campy noirish spin on the classic Spider-Man story that gained a lot of popularity when its main character featured in Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse a few years ago, Prime Video's doing something I've never seen before. It's going to release the show in two distinct versions at the same time: one in black and white, the other in full colour. There's even a trailer for each version.
