With director Marc Webb now a few days into production on 2014′s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it should come as no surprise that Sony has released an official plot synopsis. What does come as a surprise is how many questions this thing leaves unanswered. It mentions a few narrative connections from the first film, but while Paul Giamatti is listed as a cast member, it doesn’t explain how The Rhino plays into what sounds like another teen angst story. We’d heard Felicity Jones was in talks, but she’s no where to be found. Same goes for Martin Sheen. Yet Thor‘s Colm Feore is a new addition. Who does he play?
The synopsis also confirms the film will be released in 3D, even though Webb is apparently shooting 35mm anamorphic. Can you say post-conversion? Read it all below. Read More »

Director Marc Webb took to Twitter Monday night to post the following tweet:
Day 1.#anamorphic #film #philthecameraoperator twitter.com/MarcW/status/2…
— Marc Webb (@MarcW) February 5, 2013
“Day 1″ obviously refers to filming on what still being called The Amazing Spider-Man 2, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Paul Giamatti, Sally Field and Martin Sheen. It’s scheduled for release May 2, 2014.
What’s also of note in this tweet is Webb’s revelation that the sequel will be shot on 35mm film. The original was shot digitally. Check out a bigger version of the image after the jump. Read More »
