ITALIAN SPIDERMAN IS DEAD
Greetings friends,
For a number of reasons, mostly evil ones, there will be no more Italian Spiderman. May his legacy live on forever in the ageless capsule of hyperspace.
With him, also, dies Alrugo.
Thank you for all the love you have sent towards the hero in the red turtleneck. We are deeply sorry that we cannot bring you any more of his antics, however we assure you, by no means have we stopped creating.
After a tumultuous journey, we, Dario Russo (Director of Italian Spiderman) and David Ashby (Italian Spiderman himself) have formed a new company, named:
DINOSAUR
We apologise for the long, long radio silence, but we felt it would be wrong to make any false promises and or presentations until we had a new a worthy product to bestow upon you, so with great fanfare, we present for your titillation, the first title under the DINOSAUR banner:
"DANGER 5"
You can watch the Danger 5 trailer on the Dinosaur YouTube page.

And we welcome you to visit Dinosaur's homestead on the Interweb:
www.dinosaurworldwide.com
It has been far too long dear friends. We hope you enjoy the new and exotic stones of entertainment that we have harvested from the earth and painstakingly refined for your pleasure, and it is a joy to return to your company amongst the bosom of the information superhighway. You'll be hearing more from us.
Stay posted.
Yours truly,
DINOSAUR

From 1964 - 1968 the extravagant production of the feature film Italian Spiderman, bankrupted Alrugo Entertainment and it's founder, Alfonso Alrugo. Unable to distribute the film in Italy, Alfonso sent the only print of the film to a distributor friend of his in New York. The cargo ship containing the only print of Italian Spiderman sunk somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. On Alfonso's death bed, his two grandsons vowed to go in search of the sunken print. After four years at sea, in 2006 they located the sunken vessel and retrieved the film cans containing Italian Spiderman. For the last two years, the brothers have been restoring the print to prepare it for the world. The Alrugo brothers have faith in the internet as a method of communicating to a world audience and hence released the Italian Spiderman trailer on the net in November '07. After receiving nearly half a million hits on youtube alone, the Alrugo brothers have decided to release the rest of the Italian Spiderman feature to the world via the internet.
Let me tell you, guys - regardless of all the funny, you have some really impressive skills. It is, I think, the most convincing recreation of that style of filmmaking, and if it wasn't for the content, I would probably never consider this may be an homage as opposed to the real thing.
