In the meantime, Apple provided a few new shots from the movie last night, and two of them feature villain the Lizard, played by Rhys Ifans, a whole lot of CGI, and what looks like a couple of really nifty gloves. Check out those pics below. Read More »

Before Paul Feig directed Bridesmaids and became a mainstay on Hollywood’s comedy director go-to list, he’d made a fantastic career working in TV. Along with Judd Apatow, he co-created the seminal show Freaks and Geeks which launched the careers of some of the biggest movie stars in the world (Rogen, Franco, Segel, etc.). The show wasn’t a hit with audiences when it first aired but its frank and funny take on high school continues to resonate with audiences who discover it today.
In a new interview, Feig revealed that he used a bit of that talent on the set of Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man, punching up one of the scenes that takes place in a high school. Read more after the jump. Read More »
The print campaign for Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man has been nothing short of outstanding. It began with the gorgeous teaser poster, showing Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) struggling with his role as the web-slinger. From there a bunch of international posters leaked. Now, the final theatrical poster has been revealed and it sells the one thing people need to see to drag them into the theater: Spider-Man, front and center. No BS or tease.

For most of the past year, the only members of the public who had any real idea what to expect from the villain in Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man were those in attendance at Sony’s panel at Comic Con last year, when the first footage of the Lizard was shown. Over the past couple months we’ve seen images of licensed products that showed a hint of the character, and the full-length trailer revealed quite a bit as well.
But the best look at the actual face of the character now comes via more merchandizing. In this case, a big poster shows us just what Marc Webb and his designers and effects team have cooked up as the post-transformation visage of the character played by Rhys Ifans. Read More »
Director Marc Webb was one of the many filmmakers talking to the press at WonderCon in Anaheim this weekend where he showed up an impressive Amazing Spider-Man sizzle reel previously only seen by select audiences. And though the film, which stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, isn’t out until July 3, our friends at CinemaBlend got Webb to confirm, in a very vague way, that this film sets up future installments. You can not only read his exact quote, but watch and listen to it after the jump. Read More »
The viral campaign for Sony and Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man hasn’t been nearly as exciting as the one for Fox and Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, but here’s a new installment from the Spidey viral that makes a few things clear.
We’ve wondered since the film was announced where classic Spidey character J. Jonah Jameson fits in, and how his newspaper the Daily Bugle, which employed Spidey alter-ego Peter Parker in most versions of his story, will evolve to find a place in the modern world. With print publications holding a far less important public role than was once the case, the Bugle seemed anachronistic.
This clip shows that the Bugle is now a television station, and while there is no version of the Jameson character, his role of vocal Spider-Man naysayer has been picked up by Denis Leary‘s character Captain Stacy. Read More »
No, that’s not a mistake in the headline. During the WonderCon panel for The Amazing Spider-Man, Emma Stone revealed that, prior to the film’s script being written and Gwen Stacy being made the central love interest in Sony’s Spidey reboot, she was originally brought in to meet to play Mary Jane (originally played by Kirsten Dunst in Sam Raimi’s trilogy).
Find out what else we learned from the panel below!
