View Full Version : Spider-Man 4 Swings Into IMAX on May 5, 2011
MAX Corporation and Columbia Pictures today announced that the highly-anticipated action-adventure "Spider-Man 4," will be released to IMAX theatres simultaneously with the film's worldwide release on May 5, 2011. The fourth installment of the successful "Spider-Man" franchise, based on the Marvel Comicbook character, will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience. The film will be distributed by Columbia Pictures domestically and by Sony Pictures Releasing International overseas.
To date, the "Spider-Man" motion pictures have generated more than $2.5 billion in worldwide box office receipts.
"The last two 'Spider-Man' releases have been available in IMAX theaters, and we're very much looking forward to our return to a wider IMAX theatre network with this exciting new chapter in the continuing adventures of Spider-Man," said Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures Releasing. "The addition of so many new IMAX locations will give even more fans of Spider-Man an opportunity to experience the action and adventure in a unique way."
"'Spider-Man' continues to be one of the world's most popular motion picture franchises, and we are very excited to include the latest chapter as part of our 2011 slate," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "Our network has grown significantly and we continue to roll-out new theatres virtually every week, giving more moviegoers the opportunity to experience the movie in IMAX."
"We're so excited to once again work with our friends at Columbia Pictures, Sony and Marvel to bring this beloved superhero back to IMAX theatres," said Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "The 'Spider-Man' franchise has been so important to the growth of our network and fan base over the years and we're certainly looking forward to re-teaming with the entire cast and production team to bring this next chapter to moviegoers worldwide."

The IMAX release will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR(R) (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
Sam Raimi Talks Spider-Man 4 Villains...Sort of.
he helmer of the 3 Spider-Man films share his thoughts about possible foes for the Amazing Arachnid in his 4th outing.
MTV has an exclusive chat with Sam Raimi about Spider-man 4 Villains
here's an excerpt:
"I love the Lizard," said Raimi. "There's a great story there in the Marvel comic books about Dr. Connors. I'm less familiar with Carnage."
Raimi then took a long pause. "I'm not allowed to say at this point," he confessed.
Spilling the identity of the villain months before the film's prospective March shoot date was a little too much to hope. But Raimi was keen to illuminate his thought process regarding how and why he and his creative team select a specific villain. As he explained, it has less to do with the mention of a particular villain in an earlier film (as is the case with the Lizard) or about connecting the fourth film to another planned Marvel adaptation (see Carnage in "Venom").
Rather, the choice of a villain comes down to what makes most sense for the arc of Peter Parker's character. And with screenwriter Gary Ross still working on a draft of the script, everything is still very much in flux.

It seems like just a matter of time before they put the lizard in there. Dr conners has been in all the movies, I'm surprised its taken this long..
Sam Raimi Wants Spider-Man 4 "To Get Back To The Basics"
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8037/spider-man%204.jpg
Sam Raimi wants to make it up to the fans for what happened in Spider-Man 3 by getting back to the basics.
For fans and renowned film critics alike, the Spider-Man franchise took a slight detour in "Spider-Man 3" for several reasons. "Spider-Man 3" earned a whopping $891 million at the box office but that was not enough to overshadow the chaos depicted throughout the film. The biggest pitfall seems to stem from the collection of too many villains as opposed to focusing on developing a solid story with a particular villain. Well, Sam Raimi has heard the voices and will correct on the mistake with his release of "Spider-Man 4."
When recently asked about having three villains in the third movie, he replied, "I think having so many villains detracted from the experience. I would agree with the criticism." This could mean anything...possibly having the same number of villains but this time around concentrating on a particular enemy? Or it could mean Spider-Man this time around will have only one foe to battle against.
On May 29, 2009, Raimi released a much lower budget film by the name of "Drag Me to Hell," which earned $42 million domestically and $40 million overseas, on a budget of $30 million. Apparently it was a humbling experience because compared to the three Spider-Man films where the budget exceeded $100 million, working on "Drag Me to Hell" was a more intimate process.
"I think I've learned about the importance of getting to the point and the importance of having limitations, and I'm hoping to take that into a production where I'm actually allowed to explore with more of the tools to pull it off with a little more splendour. I hope I don't lose that edge that I've just found. That would be my approach to Spider-Man 4: to get back to the basics," he said.
#####
Whispers68: When he says "get back to the basics," hopefully he is referring to "Spider-Man 1 and 2." I applaud the director for listening to the voices of consumers when he decided to go a bit left with his creative control on "Spider-Man 3." I'm personally not a fan of the entire series but I've seen them all and will definitely check out part 4, 5, and 6 when they're released.
Sam Raimi Confirms Bruce Campbell to Play Big Role in Spider-Man 4
It seems the horror legend Bruce Campbell will play a worthy role in Spider-Man 4.
Actor Bruce Campbell, who appears in all three Spider-Man films, mentioned over a month ago that he would have a significant role in Spider-Man 4, but the part was never confirmed by director Sam Raimi...until now.
When asked by MTV News about Campbell's participation, Raimi laughed and said, "I promised him we would write something because I really love putting him in the pictures. I promised him a good, meaty role."
When asked what role Campbell would play, Raimi said, "I don't even know what it is yet."
Dr. Curt "The Lizard" Connors Confirmed for Spider-Man 4
pidey actor Dylan Baker was at a presentation of Trick 'r Treat last night at New York’s Walter Reade Theater for Lincoln Center’s third annual “Scary Movies” program.
During a post-screening Q & A, Baker confirmed that he is on board for Sam Raimi’s forthcoming Spider-Man 4. According to reports, Baker said that he had just gotten his first call concerning Spider-Man 4 that very day. Baker appeared in Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 as Dr. Curt Connors, a professor at Empire State University. When friend Michael Dougherty ribbed him about “just appearing in the background” Baker said that, basically, that’s what he’d be doing. It was unclear if they were being truthful or if, in fact, Dr. Connors would become supervillainThe Lizard in this fourth entry in the film series. During their riffing, Dougherty used the phrase “co*ktease for another year” as to whether or not we’d see The Lizard.
We here at CBM believe that this would be the best way to go with Spider-Man 4 -- especially after the lackluster Spider-Man 3, which fell into the same old formula that has killed comic book movie franchises in the past, specifically, throwing too many villains into the mix. Focus on a single villain and do it right! Here're the reasons WHYThe Lizard should be the lead villain:
1. He's a classic Spidey villain! Don't you dare make up another quasi-gobby. Stick to the classics.
2. His backstory is unique and aligned with spidey's own--which makes for good drama. They are kindred spirits, only Peter's accidental science experiment went right, whereas Connor's purposeful one went horribly wrong.
3. The Lizard is an sypathetic villain. His motives aren't evil. You don't dislike him like your typical evil supervillains. That is a plus. He's not interested in world domination like ever other

The Villain For Spider-Man 4 Is The Lizard..And The Lizard Only?
According to a "reliable source" it seems The Lizard may not just be the villain in "spider-Man 4," but he'll be the only villain present in the sequel. This sounds too blemished in my opinion but reporting to see what others feel about the rumor.
While reviewing comic book related news, I came across an article on Latinoreview.com involving the most current and highly talked about comic book sequel..."Spider-Man 4."
It has been in discussion for weeks as to who the villain or villains would be in the sequel. With the recent update of Dylan Barker returning for the role of Dr. Curt Connors, everyone speculated that this means The Lizard would finally get some screen time.
The site goes a bit further by stating not only will the villain be the Lizard, but if the reliable source is correct, he'll be the only one to appear in the film.
"Jim here. In what must be exclusives week at MarketSaw, we get a quick update on SPIDER-MAN 4 which of course is getting lensed in stereoscopic 3D.
We all pretty much knew that either The Lizard and/or Carnage would be in this movie and now we have word that it will be The Lizard ONLY. No multiple villains. Again, strong source here. Of course, things could change - but it is highly doubtful.
I couldn't be happier! SPIDER-MAN 3 suffered from too many story lines in my mind and with only one villain, Sam Raimi can focus on the character development and really build Dr. Curt Connors / The Lizard the way it should be. If there are too many bad guys you lose the connection - it is a good thing to almost feel bad for them when they lose (or win as the case may be). It is very hard to develop two villains within the same movie and establish that honest mind meld with them."
Someone sent me a Spider-man 4 plot... really!
Got this from an intern friend involved in storyboarding. It could be (and very well may be) a very creative fabrication, but it sounds awesome! His internship would be kaput if this lead back to him, but I had to share his summary! It has the return of Norman Osborne, the Scorpion, the Lizard, Black Cat, a new Venom, Alistair Smythe, and sets up for Carnage...AND IT ALL MAKES PERFECT SENSE. It also fills in the holes of the past 3 movies. AND he tells me they're thinking of using Bruce Campbell as Scorpion/New Venom! Again,I don't know how legit this is he could just be messing with me, but it stands alone worth reading. Enjoy-
Spider-Man 4 The movie opens with the marriage of Peter and Mary Jane. The marriage is oddly normal. Peter is more concerned that his spider-sense is NOT going off than anything else, leaving him distant and distracted. This upsets Mary Jane. Aunt May has a dizzy spell, and nearly faints, but contains herself without anyone noticing. The two go on honeymoon without a qualm, but with underlying tension.
The next scene is one of Dr. Conners sequencing reptilian DNA codes in his office, late at night. He is startled when his sample of Peter's symbiote suddenly becomes violent, and breaks its casing in an attempt to escape. Dr. Conners quickly catches the specimen, and places it in a stronger container. We see the trapped symbiote hungrily advancing on the specimens it is placed next to, a large emperor scorpion, and a bearded dragon.
The next scene is a fundraiser event in which concerned citizens may make private donations in an effort to try and stop spider-man. They are concerned that a costumed, super-powered "hero" only taunts and encourages criminals to become super criminals, leaving a wake of destruction in their battle between ""good and evil." Specific incidences from the last three movies are recalled, as well as sum totals of property damage, and other villains are referenced, such as the Rhino and Mysterio. J. Jonah Jameson, in a show of bravado, turns the event into a media spectacle, making a large public donation to the cause. Peter is of course in attendance, photographing the event, and profiling his potential enemies. Peter is put on the spot by Jameson to join the effort against Spider-Man, which he declines. This leads to a heated argument, and a falling out, and Peter leaves the Bugle. The chairman of the event, Alistair Smythe, ask his people if Parker is the Bugle photographer famous for capturing Spider-Man on film. When the fact is confirmed, the commissioner tells his people to "keep an eye on the boy."
Leaving the fundraiser in anger, Peter decides to swing around the city as Spider-Man, to blow off some steam. At home, Mary Jane gets a call from Aunt May, asking for Peter to take her to the hospital. Mary Jane says Peter is out working, but rushes to Aunt May's house to take her to the hospital just in time. We cut back to Peter swinging over the city, late at night. He stops to listen to a portable police scanner, and hears that the silent alarm has been tripped at the museum. He swings his way over leaving his scanner and clothes tucked away in a web pack on the rooftop, to return to them later. As he leaves, we see the cell phone ringing in his coat pocket as a call from Mary Jane. He silently descends on a voluptuous criminal with long blonde hair in a skintight catsuit. Intrigued, he slowly lowers himself down to take a closer look, but the dinosaur skeleton his web was attached to collapses, allowing theBlack Cat to escape, and creating another incident of damage. Spidey feels terrible about his "smooth move," but pursues the Black Cat through the museum. She always manages to escape to the shadows, but the two finally meet on the rooftop of the museum. The Black Cat seductively talks to Spider-Man, while Spidey does his best to remain composed. He says he has to take her in, and she says that she didn't steal anything, nor was she going to. He says she was trespassing, and she says he was, too, but that she didn't destroy any property in the process. As the sexual tension mounts, Spidey's phone from his webpack rings. This distracts him, he turns his head, and the Black Cat makes her escape. She leaves him a calling card with a kiss on it. Parker unmasks, sees numerous missed calls, and looks horrified as he checks his messages.
We now cut to the Black Cat running away on foot, and towards the campus of Peter's University. She unmasks, and throws an NYU hoodie on over costume. A close-up of her ankle reveals a very, very, damaged piece of the symbiote releasing itself from her boot on campus. Cut to Dr. Conners in his laboratory, feeling invigorated. He has finally isolated the regenerative element of reptilian dna, and injects it into himself in an attempt to regrow his lost limb. Nothing seems to happen. He is crestfallen, and leaves to go home. On his way, he runs into a very panicked Peter, running toward the NYU medical facility. Dr. Conners tries to share his success with Peter, but Peter blows past him to see Aunt May. Dr. Conners dejectedly walks home. Peter bursts into the hospital to find Aunt May and Mary Jane. Aunt May is unconscious, and Mary Jane is exhausted. Peter asks a flurry of questions, and we find out that Aunt May has been having heart trouble since Uncle Ben died, but has been keeping it a secret from Peter, to allow him to focus on school. Mary Jane talks with Peter about the attention that she needs, and convinces Peter that she has to move in with them while she's in this state, saying she doesn't have long. Peter tells her that he just walked out on his job with the Bugle, and Mary Jane is furious. "What about your family? My modeling is just taking off, but I can't support us yet! And what about Aunt May? After all she's done for you? Aren't you the one who's always talking about responsibility?" Peter is stunned, and tells her that he's sorry, and to go home and get some rest. He thanks her for taking care of Aunt May, and tells her what a wonderful wife she is. They make up, she leaves, and Peter stays the rest of the night with Aunt May. Peter tries to call Dr. Conners to apologize, but gets no answer. He leaves a message, saying he will come by the campus in the morning to visit him.
As Peter is leaving the message, we see a sleeping Dr. Conners with the start of a new limb. The next thing we hear is a dialogue between a familiar voice, and Mr. Smythe on the phone. They talk about the fundraiser, and the coming public auction of Oscorp. Smythe ensures the voice that with the combined donations of private donors, Mr. Jameson, Mr. Fisk, and the Smythe family fortune will be more than enough to buy out Oscorp. "Have you got a candidate?"the voice asks, "I need a spider-slayer…" Smythe responds that they have found ex-SEAL named Mac Gargan to be interested. "What about the boy?"the voice asks. "we'll be recruiting him tomorrow," Smythe replies. "Good." The voice says, and hangs up. The goblin mask is seen out of focus hanging on the wall in the background. Cut to Dr. Conner's biology class at NYU, where he is teaching with a fully regrown limb. He is lecturing on the human genome, and the possibilities of the future of medicine and humanity. The class is dismissed, with Dr. Conners ending on the note "with this great power, comes great possibility." As the class leaves, Felicia approaches Dr. Conners to talk to him about a grade on one of her papers. She sets up an after school appointment with her, and she leaves. As she walks away, she passes Peter Parker. Peter smiles at her awkwardly/creepily, she pauses, but dismisses the idea and moves on. Peter approaches Dr. Conners, saying "I was always taught that with great power comes great responsibility." Dr. Conners is quite pleased to see Peter, and the two retire to Dr. Conners private lab. The two discuss Dr. Conner's breakthrough as well as Aunt May's condition. The symbiote, having been dormant, becomes quite hostile when it senses Peter. It escapes again, freeingthe scorpion in the process. It bonds to the scorpion, and then immediately spits out an empty exoskeleton. The two catch the symbiote, and then examine the scorpion 's exoskeleton. Dr. Conners becomes very angry with Peter, and then quickly calms down and apologizes. They then turn their attention to the symbiote, and the exoskeleton. The symbiote is noticeably bigger. Dr. Conners states that the symbiote only wanted the "juice" that was inside. "Like a spider…" Peter says. As Peter leaves the campus, he is approached by Alistair Smythe, who has learned of Dr. Conners' success, through colleagues at the school. He wishes to regain functionality of his legs. He praises Dr. Conners, and it is revealed that Peter is a recent graduate student of his, and is also currently out of work. Smythe offers Peter a job on the spot. Peter is hesitant, recognizing him as the head of the anti-Spider-Man fundraiser. Dr. Conners emerges, and tells Peter he'll be praying for his Aunt. Peter then immediately takes the job, putting his family before his public image. Peter goes home to check on Aunt May, and tell Mary Jane the good news. When he approaches Aunt May, she is weak, but awake. He decides to omit that he lost his other job, and just tells her that he was offered a new position. She tells him that she is so proud of him, and she knows Uncle Ben would be, too. Peter asks her why she didn't tell him about her heart. She tells him that she knew how much he had on his plate, and wanted to make sure that he got himself though school without any distractions. She then goes on to say that she is so happy for him and Mary Jane, and that he couldn't be in better hands. She tells him that marriage is rough, especially at first, and talks about her and Uncle Ben's rocky beginnings. As they talk, Mary Jane finds thecalling card left by the Black Cat in Peter's pocket as she does laundry. Infuriated, she immediately confronts Peter. He tries to explain, but has no answer good enough to appease her.
We cut to Smythe leaving Dr. Conners' office. Dr Conners has refused to sell his technology, telling them that it is brand new, and unsafe, and that "with great power comes great responsibility." Felicia approaches the classroom, as Smythe and his associates discuss how they can get the formula. Felicia, overhearing them, offers to obtain the secrets, for a fee. She secretly sees this as another opportunity to see Spider-Man, and sets her terms and price. They agree to pay her for the secrets, and they set a meeting time and place for the delivery. We cut to Peter's first day as a bioengineer for Smythecorp. He is praised for his ingenuity and work ethic, and starts to feel good about himself again. He talks to Mary Jane on his lunch, and finds out that Aunt May is in much better shape. Cut to the bowels of the research facility, where Mac Gargan is introduced, and is preparing to receive his first inoculation of the Oscorp Serum. Smythe suggests waiting for the data from Dr. Conners' lab to enhance the end result of the project, but "the voice" is impatient. "I don't know what that will do," he says, "and it could take years to find out. I know exactly what this will do. And this is exactly what I want." Gargan is given the gas, and soon after placed into a suit quite similar to the Goblin's original suit. This suit however, features no hoverboard, and instead features a large tail made of one of Doc Ock's tentacles, recovered from the bay. We now cut to Dr. Conners. He wakes up scaly, and dry. He is in a very fight or flight state of mind. He wants to approach his sleeping wife, but decides he can't. He calls Peter, and asks him to meet him at his lab. Peter, quite elated, leaves work to buy roses for Mary Jane and Aunt May. He tells them he'll be home for dinner, but is interrupted by Dr. Conners' frantic call. He tells his family that he will be home soon, but that he has to make a quick trip to see Dr. Conners first. Mary Jane is annoyed, but accepting. Peter dons the Spider-Man outfit, and makes his way to the campus by web to save time. We now cut to a fully finished Scorpion, the ultimate spider slayer. "The voice" talks to the Scorpion as he awakes, telling him about his new strengths and abilities. He is extremely pleased with his new suit and tail, and then asks, "how do I take it off?" The voice replies simply, "that is not an option." Gargan is enraged, and demands an explanation. The voice explains that he a lot of money and a lot of technology went into his suit, and that he has to be kept in check. He offers to release him out of the suit only after spider-man is killed, and once the information from Dr. Conners' lab is obtained. "you," the voice says," are now a Spider-Slayer, property of Smythecorp." He is informed that another has been sent to retrieve the data, but is advised, "I would get it myself if I were you."
We now see the Black Cat attempting to break into Dr. Conners' lab. She does, and obtains the data just as spider-man arrives. "This is a little more than just trespassing," Spidey says. He demands that she returns the data, but tells her that he won't turn her in if she does. She playfully says, "you'll have to catch me first," and takes off. Just as the chase begins, the Lizard emerges in full form, indiscriminately attacking the Black Cat, injuring her. An epic fight ensues between Spidey and the Lizard, as Spider-Man tries to lead the Lizard away from the campus. The fight is fierce, and ends in the sewers, where Spider-Man loses the Lizard. He leaves immediately to try to catch Black Cat. We cut to her on foot, disc in hand, trying to reach the meeting place. She realizes Smythe and his men know her true identity and she may be in over her head.As she hobbles along, she is curtailed by the Scorpion, who wants to deliver the data himself. Spider-Man catches up to them just in time to try to obtain the data for himself. Another massive fight ensues, this time with Spidey also trying to protect the Black Cat while trying to retrieve Dr. Conners' data. He realizes that the only way to try and help Dr. Conners is to analyze the data for himself. Spidey escapes with the data, and with the Black Cat, to the fury of the Scorpion. In a Goblin-like rage, he vows revenge on everyone, from Smythe, to Jameson, to Spider-Man. We see Spider-man swinging away with the injured Black Cat towards the hospital, and she flirts with him the whole way there. When they get to the hospital, she thanks him for being her hero, and lifts his mask to kiss him. He hesitates, but kisses her back, passionately. He pulls his mask down, and takes off for home. When he arrives home, Mary Jane is cleaning up dinner, and Aunt May is already asleep. She is mildly upset with him, but reminds him that she knew what she was getting into when she married him. She kisses him, but is very quickly upset when she tastes the Black Cat's lipstick on his lips. She realizes that it's the same shade from the calling card, and furiously comes back at Peter, wiping his lips, and then showing him the color on the tissue, and the color on the card. Without saying a word, she slaps him across the face, marches upstairs, and locks the door behind her. Devastated, Peter sits down at his computer with Dr. Conners' data, and spends all night analyzing it.
He discovers that not only has Dr. Conners' body mutated, but that he is now controlled by his "reptile brain," making him a very complicated enemy. This means he has no motivation outside of those a reptile might have, making him extremely hard to fight, or predict. He also wishes no harm on Dr. Conners, and wishes only to return him to his human state. He wonders why he himself didn't mutate, and decides to analyze his own DNA. At work the next day, Peter discovers that an element of the Oscorp serum was what prevented the arachnid takeover of his own DNA, and realizes that to save his friend, he must track down whatever is left of Oscorp, to isolate the serum. He notes he is much happier to be a "spider-man" than a "man-spider." He stops by Harry and Norman's grave to reflect, on his way home from work, and passes by the Bugle on his way home. As he looks over at the Bugle, his spider-sense tingles, and he sees a confrontation happening upstairs. The Scorpion is confronting J. Jonah Jameson over his donation to the foundation that was responsible for his suit. Jameson says he didn't know they would use it to make "more freaks," and the Scorpion chastises him for just throwing money at problems and expecting a solution. Spider-Man intervenes to Jameson's disgust, and takes the fight with the Scorpion out to the street. We now see the Scorpion in full stride, using his prehensile tail and immense strength to chase spider-man in much the same way a Gibbon would swing through trees. He fires "goblin bombs" from his suit at spider-man, causing lots of destruction. Jameson ponders the destruction, wondering how many people would be killed instead of him in the rubble and aftermath. He tells the paper to run a story condemning the anti-spider man fundraiser, with a headline reading "Freak Factory!" He then tells them to get Parker on the phone, because he was "the only one around here that could ever get a half-decent picture of that abomination." Spider-man continues to fight the Scorpion, and maintain damage control, in a fight leading back to the Globe on top of the Bugle. As they fight, Spider-Man recognizes the armor and tail as remnants of the Green Goblin and Doc Ock. The Scorpion is obviously stronger than Spider-Man, but Spider-Man is able to retain his balance on top of the globe, while the Scorpion is not. The Scorpion falls a great distance, damaging his tail, but he escapes.
Peter has an epiphany, realizing that there is a tie between the anti-Spider-Man coalition, and Oscorp. He digs further, and realizes that the very company he works for has deep connections to Oscorp. He returns to his job as Spider-Man to investigate, where he comes across the lab that created the Goblins, Doc Ock, and the Scorpion. He is confronted by none other than Norman Osbourne! He explains that the serum didn't let him die, and that it took a long time for him to heal, but that he is alive. He shows spider-man the scars he has from the glider as proof of his claim, and talks to him about Harry. He says that he will have his revenge for everything he's done to him, on everyone he loves, no matter how long it takes, because he can't die. This sends Spider-Man into a frenzy. He destroys as much of the lab as he can after obtaining a sample of the Oscorp serum, and leaves Norman for dead. The Scorpion returns to the lab to find a half-dead Norman Osbourne, not realizing that he was "the voice," he has sworn vengeance against. He restocks on bombs, and leaves to get a new copy of Dr. Conners' data from his lab. As the Scorpion arrives at the lab, he blows a hole in the side of the building with a bomb, and advances inside. We see the damaged piece of symbiote emerge behind him in the blast hole. As the Scorpion enters the building to take the computer, the Lizard savagely attacks him. A large fight ensues in the lab, brutal on both sides. During the fight, the specimen of the symbiote is released, which finds and re-bonds with the damaged piece of the symbiote. The symbiote is careful to avoid the flames, but with the addition of the damaged portion of the symbiote, requires a host immediately. It braves the flames to find the Lizard and the Scorpion viciously fighting inside. The symbiote finally bonds to the Scorpion. As it bonds to him, it pries off his scorpion suit, wanting only the host body inside. The newly formed Venom is hit with the memories of both Eddie Brock and Peter Parker, as a new entity entirely. The symbiote was in such a desperate, weakened state, that it bonded inseparably from Gargan, making no distinction between host and symbiote. It rushes to escape the flames, the Lizard close behind. Venom now has even greater strength than the Lizard, and the fight starts to lose balance, with Venom winning, when Spider-Man appears. Just as he is about to join the fight, Black Cat appears. Spider-Man tells her to stay out of it, but she refuses. He tells her he doesn't want to have to protect her again, and she says with a wink that she can handle herself. She jumps down to try to retrieve the computer discarded by Gargan, and is immediately injured again. Spider-Man swoops down to get her to safety, and then tries to get the Lizard away from Venom. Venom brutalizes the Lizard, leaving him critically injured. He is about to finish the job, when Spider-Man blindsides him. This thrills Venom, and he takes off after Spider-Man. The injured Lizard slinks back into the sewers, and the Black Cat and the computer are gone. An amazing fight ensues between Venom and Spider-Man as they swing through the buildings of New York. As they fight, Spider-Man leads them back towards the blazing remnants of Oscorp, which is continually rattled by explosions. Spider-Man leads him in through the flames, knowing that the new symbiote can't withstand the flames. Venom desperately tries to pursue him, despite the flames, and is weakened to the point that the symbiote retracts into his body. Spider-Man flees to try and find the Lizard before it's too late to help him. When he returns to the campus, the Black Cat is waiting to direct him down the sewers, and lead him the Lizard. When Spider-Man finds the Lizard, he half-heartedly tries to fight Spidey, eventually collapsing. Spider-Man administers a trace amount of the Oscorp serum to the Lizard. He jumps up with a start, but the Black Cat knocks him out with a well-aimed kick to the face. Spider-Man thanks her for help. She asks when she'll see him again, and comes in to kiss him. He retracts, saying he can't. She desperately tries to convince him that superheroes can date, but he pulls off one of his gloves, showing a wedding ring. Black Cat is quite taken aback, not realizing that under his costume he was a normal man with a normal life. As things are put into perspective for her, she is ashamed, and disappears. Spider-Man looks over at the Lizard, who has now returned to being Dr. Conners, minus his limb. He brings Dr. Conners to the hospital. Before they enter, he changes into his street clothes. A half-conscious Dr. Conners sees Peter's face, and laughs to himself in a daze, saying "brilliant, but lazy…" before passing out again.
As he's leaving the hospital, he is surprised to see Mary Jane in the waiting room, teary eyed and distraught. They immediately embrace, Mary Jane tells him that Aunt May collapsed, and that she doesn't have much time. She tells him what room she's in, and to go say goodbye. Peter sees Aunt May, barely conscious, and holds her hand. He tells her how much he loves her, and thanks her for everything he's done. He can't believe he's saying goodbye, and asks her if she can even hear him. "Of course I can," she weakly replies. He smiles, and hugs her, tears streaming down his face. He apologizes to her for not being there for her as much as he should have, and that he wants to tell her something very important. She clutches his hand, and says "Peter…I already know. And Uncle Ben would be so proud. We are both so proud of you…Spider-Man…" She closes her eyes, and her heart monitor flat-lines. We are now at Aunt May's funeral. It is very small, and very heartfelt. Peter tells a story about Aunt May from when he was a little boy, but bursts into tears before he can finish. Afterward, Jameson approaches Peter to apologize for their falling out. He tells Peter that if he ever tells anyone, he's fired. Peter asks if that means he has his job back. Jameson says as far as he's concerned, Parker took a sabbatical, due to the ill health of his Aunt. Peter smiles, and thanks him. Jameson reminds Peter that if anyone finds out about this act of compassion, he's fired. After the service, Peter walks through the graveyard, noting Ben and May Parker, as well as Norman and Harry Osbourne. Mary Jane approaches him to comfort him. "He's not in there, MJ," he says. "Who's not in where?" Mary Jane asks. "Norman Osbourne," he says. "Norman Osbourne is not in that grave." We now cut to a secret facility, where Osbourne and Smythe are discussing their future plans. They make mention of the fact that Parker's research on his own DNA, and the link between the Oscorp serum and mutation suppression are all stored on their company computer. They also note how Gargan was arrested and blamed for the fires at Smythecorp, and has been sent to a maximum security prison. They both agree that how he got out of his suit will always be a mystery. The final scene in the movie takes place at Ravencroft Asylum, where Gargan is being placed in a cell. He is locked up, his door shuts, displaying his name. As the camera pans away from his door, we see that the name on the cell next to his is Cletus Kasady. Credits-
Here Is Your Spider-Man 4 Rumor Rundown!
I love rumor rundowns. You get to read what is really going on and then you also get to see what is complete BS. Many thanks to UGO for providing the info for this installment of "Jman's Rumor Rundown"!
"Confirmed:
Spider-Man 4 will begin shooting in March 2010 with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst signed on to star. (MTV)
It will be released on May 5, 2011 in theaters and IMAX. (Comingsoon.net)
The first draft of the script was written by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac) and rewritten by Pulitzer winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Robots). A new draft will be written by Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville). (IGN)
James Vanderbilt has also been hired to pen a Spidey 5 & 6. (MTV)
Raimi is planning a smaller, intimate movie using skills and sensibilities he picked up on Drag Me to Hell. This means less villains then Spider-Man 3. (Coventry Telegraph)
Producer Todd Black says the villain will be "a big part of New York" and that he/she will be one of the bad guys from the comics, not an original for the film. (NY Post)
J.K. Simmons will return as J. Jonah Jameson. (MTV)
Dylan Baker will return as Dr. Curt Connors, who many know as the alter-ego of Spidey villain The Lizard.
Rumor:
Could Carnage end up in Spider-Man 4? Or maybe he'll make an appearance in Venom or his own movie? (MTV)
Bruce Campbell, who has appeared in all of Raimi's Spider-Man films, may play a "major role" in the next installment, who some speculate could be Mysterio. (Access Hollywood)
During a Q&A at Wizard World, actor Michael Papajohn, who played the mugger who kills Uncle Ben in the first film, said he would be reprising his role in the new installment. (Comingsoon.net)
Spider-Man 4 could tie into the writer/director Gary Ross' own Venom movie. (MTV)
The Lizard could end up being the movie's only villain. (Marketsaw)
Willem Dafoe has ideas on how he could return to the franchise, but hasn't gotten a call. (MTV)
Debunked:
Producer Todd Black says the film will not feature the wedding of Peter Parker and Mary Jane. (NY Post)
The villain will not be Morbius the vampire (NY Post)"
And there you have it. Personally I think Raimi would be committing moviedom suicide if he does not use The Lizard. I mean come on? It would only make sense. The Dr. Curt Conner's character is ready to go. Slap your momma and let's bring it on!!!
Spidey Gets To Tangle With The Black Cat In Spider-Man 4!!!
Mania.com broke the story:
"We can exclusively reveal that actress Rachel McAdams has met with the producers of the film for a major role. McAdams (of 'Wedding Crashers' and 'Sherlock Holmes' fame) is said to be a top contender for the role of Felicia Hardy, known to comic fans as The Black Cat."
Finally a piece of major news. If this holds true it will please a lot of fans.
But what about The Lizard getting his chance to wreak havoc on New York City? Mania.com has also learned that Raimi is going the two villain route, their source says Raimi and company are trying to cast a yet unnamed Villain. Which puts the kaboosh onThe Lizard rumors as Dr. Curt Conners is already cast and has been since Spider-Man 2. Unless off course they are referring to "The Lizard" side of Doc Conners but more then likely that will be a CGI effect. Not that that's a bad thing, but it is what it is.
I guess I don't understand how much character build up time is required to get "The Lizard" on screen? It's already set up! All we can hope for is that Raimi will take his time and let Spidey grow up(Spidey is a smart ass, has been since forever), maybe a taste of Kitty will help that happen.

More On The Black Cat Story: Search For New Female Lead Confirmed!
Slashfilm have more on the Black Cat story which Jman broke yesterday. It seems that Sam Raimi is definitely on the look out for a new female lead..be she Black Cat or someone else...
A scooper over at Slashfilm has sent them a link confirming that British actress Romola Garai has auditioned for a lead role in Spider Man 4. Garai is a 27-year-old British actress who starred in Amazing Grace, The Other Man and Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Its still not been confirmed that Black cat is the character she is up for, but it seems a likely possibility given the details from the other story.
Garai shared the details about what she was up to last week, which included a video audition for the latest Spidey:
"Love is at the root of everything good that has ever happened and will happen.” This phrase swam into focus as I moved up the escalator at Oxford Circus tube on Tuesday morning on my way to put myself “on tape” for a part in Spider-Man 4. This is the acting equivalent of the London Marathon in that it’s important to try your best as long as you understand that you aren’t going to win."
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8073/blackcatcastingrumor.jpg
Could Garai and Rachel McAdams be up for the same part of Black Cat? Again, nothing is definite on that front. Keep an eye out for further developments.
Black Cat Confirmed in Spider-Man 4...Possibly Vulture?
Black Cat Confirmed in Spider-Man 4...Possibly Vulture?
A reliable Spidey-source reveals details of the fourth Spider-Man installment.
There’s obviously some heavy auditioning going on for a certain female antihero that most believe to be Felicia Hardy, the Black Cat. It has been rumored that Sam Raimi has met with both Rachael McAdams and Romola Garai for the role. But is this information viable?
According to a credible source, it seems without a doubt we will see the feline cat burglar in Spider-Man 4. According to Slashfilm.com, we might have a possible plot outline revealed:
"I’ve verified with Hey U Guys that their sources are 100% legit, and am pleased to confirm that they’ve passed the sniff test easily. This is still just a rumour, sure - but it’s a very nice smelling one. Have a quote:
Their report goes on to tell us that the big screen Felicia Hardy is not the daughter of a cat burglar, as per the original, but that her old man is, for some of the film at least, the new man in charge of the Daily Bugle. This is presumably how she first meets Peter Parker, who she then goes on to fall in love with and discover the secret identity of - which will, as was inevitable, put both of them in danger. Jeez, Pete - can’t you just keep it in your pants mask?
Hardy’s father is not only a newsman but also reportedly a villain in some sense, though possibly not a costumed one. On the other hand, Hey U Guys tell us that theirsource were calling this chap a “viper”, over and over. It doesn’t really add up that they’ve confused “lizard” and “viper” but how about “vulture” and “viper”? There’s also an outside chance that the word was “venom” and there’s some cross-over between Spider-Man 4 and the touted Venom spin-off on the cards. Vulture seems most likely to me… or Hardy senior might just be a ticked off news man with no animal alias."
But wait, True Believers, there's more:
"The Hey U Guys story suggests that it’s the death of Felicia’s pop that provides the catalyst for her change of heart. Does Mr. Hardy die because an out-of-costume Peter feels he can’t act to save him? Again, that seems to be the strong implication but only time will tell. I definitely see the comments Raimi has made about needing a villain and a dilemma specific to Peter’s new circumstances marrying up very nicely with a plot line aboutSpider-Man’s need for a secret identity."
If this source is indeed reliable, the hope of seeing either the Lizard or Kraven in the fourth Spider-Man movie is dead in the water. Unless, of course, four villains is just what Raimi has in mind. What do you think?

:lol2: Spider Man 4: The Death of a Franchise
Will Spider-Man 4 have a Spider-Son?
Is Peter Parker going to have a child in Spider-Man 4 or does this mean Carnage will be the villain?
It appears that Sony is on the search for a 2 year old Caucasian toddler with red hair for the upcoming comic book sequel Spider-Man 4. SpoilerTV has intercepted a casting notice for the film, which strangely only features one role, a character named “Toddler Boy”.
Here is the decription from the casting breakdown:
[TODDLER BOY]
2 or 3 year old boy to play 2 year old, Caucasian with RED HAIR, an adorable toddler with an engaging personality, on set experience preferred. IDENTICAL TWINS ONLY
The fact that they are looking specificly for young boy with RED hair leds us to believe that the child will be of relation to Mary Jane (played in the series by Kirsten Dunst). By the time the fourth film is in theaters, it will have been four years since the last time we saw Peter Parker of MJ on the big screen. Could it be that they have since begun creating a family? Or is it possible that Mary Jane is somehow no longer with Peter, and has a child of her own?
It's also possible that the child could be acting as a young Cletus Kasady, who grows up to be the villain Carnage!
Black Cat Rumors Are False!
Reports of Rachel McAdams or Romola Garai playing the Marvel villain Black Cat have turned out to be untrue for the next Spider-man movie.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8558/blac-cat--rachel_mcadams.jpg
Rachel McAdams (Red Eye) was said to have met with producers for Spider-Man 4 a role rumored to be Felicia Hardy, Black Cat, but the actress has confirmed alas it's not true.
McAdams told Hollywood Insider: "That's a total rumour, I have to say.
"I was in Toronto the other day and someone came up to me and said, 'I just heard you're doing Spider-Man 4.' And I said, 'Really? No one told me!' It's not true."
Sony Pictures representative added: "It's an internet rumour, as so many things are these days."
Also Black cat news is, there is no Black Cat news. Actress Romola Garai, has not been cast as Black Cat either. She was mentioned in her column in The Observer that she was auditioning for Spider-Man 4.
She then explained that she was one of dozens of actresses who had attended auditions for the Spider-man movie and no role was specified.
This is what she told Digital Spy: "I had no idea that with Spider-Man 4 being such a big film... that people would pick up on it. I was a bit taken aback. The point I was making is, 'I'm not going to get this [role]!'"
Many thanks from the guys at The Geek Files for the heads up.
Anne Hathaway Wanted For Spider-Man 4
Possible new character unveiled for Spider-Man 4?
From Nikki Finke:
"You know I'm insecure about my geek bonafides which I've been trying to improve in recent years. (Heck, I grew up never reading a single comic book.) But I'm aware that the internet has been afloat with "Spider-Man 4" casting rumors in recent days. While Sony Pictures insists no decisions have been made, sources tell me that the producers have approached Anne Hathaway to star in the film. Maybe you experts have an idea whom she'll play? All I know is that she's wanted for a starring role, and she won't replace Kirsten Dunst who's also cast. UPDATE: You readers think the role is The Black Cat."
I wonder whom she'll be.
Twitter's MarvelScoop, who has previously given us dead-on info regarding Marvel movie news, just released this tidbit:
"Exclusive scoop: Anne Hathaway will play 'Valeria' in the next SPIDERMAN"
Maybe some of you Spider-Man historians can shed light on who this character could be.
The only one that comes to mind is Valeria Richards, the daughter of Reed and Sue Richards. Since the FF movie rights are owned by Fox and not Sony, I see that as very unlikely, though. It could also follow along the lines of the previously leaked plot regarding the Vulture and his daughter.
Casting Picks May Mean Sam Raimi is Already Screwing Up Spider-Man 4
Good news is, Vulture and Black Cat are villains. Bad news is, they are not much like their comic book counterparts.
As many people have heard, Black Cat will be in Spider-Man 4. First Rachel McAdams was rumored for it, then Julia Stiles, and we reported Alyson Hannigan. Now Nikki Finke has said Anne Hathaway is the top contender for Black Cat, and and she is a VERY reliable source. She was the one that revealed Chris Hemsworth was Thor so that just about proves it.
Now MovieScoop (http://twitter.com/MovieScoop) on Twitter revealed that Anne Hathaway will play "Valeria"... the only Valeria in the comic books is Valeria Toomes. Adrian Toome's daughter. If no one knows who Adrian Toomes is, he is Vulture. Get how they messed it up yet?People may try to say MovieScoop is unreliable, but they were the first to say that Stuart Townsend and Ray Stevenson were in Thor just days before they were confirmed by Variety.
Felicia Hardy is the Black Cat in the comics, not Valeria Toomes. In fact, I dont beleive Valeria Toomes has ever been a major character. That is a MAJOR redux in these films, almost just as big as Uncle Ben being killed by the Sandman. Also, Black Cat is espeacially not Vulture's daughter.I dont know if anyone has come across this, but there was also the rumored plot line of the Black Cat which fits in with this latest news.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apparently she is the daughter of the new editor of The Daily Bugle, a man who is also referred to as ‘a viper' (more on this in a second). She falls in love with Peter Parker, and uncovers his true identity. Her father then dies, and Hardy becomes a threat to Peter Parker (presumably as The Black Cat).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The source that revealed this also said that 'Viper' may have meant 'Vulture'. Is it just me, or is this almost exactly like the Norman/Harry story? Peter kills Valeria's father, she finds out, then gets revenge on him. That is WAY too similar in my opinion. Also, I cant get my head around the idea of replacing Felicia Hardy as The Black Cat with some chick that probably appeared in only one or two issues.
But it sounds too me like Vulture will be the only villain in Spider-Man 4, then at the end Valeria will uncover the truth leading into Spider-Man 5 where she becomes The Black Cat.
Well there you go guys, now you have something other then Peter and MJ possibly having kids to bitch about.

John Malkovitch To Play The Vulture In Spider-Man 4 ...Anne Hathaway Confirmed?
Yes, its Spidey 4 rumor time at CBM! But Movieline are claiming that their inside sources are accurate on this latest news...
This from Movieline...
"Movieline has confirmed with sources close to the film that Raimi’s sequel is circling John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway to play Spider-Man’s adversaries, and neither evildoer is quite what you might have expected.
If negotiations proceed according to plan, Malkovich will be playing Spider-Man’s nemesis the Vulture, who packs a punch despite his advanced age. The Vulture is able to fly through the air and brandish his sharp wings to attack Spider-Man."
As for Hathaway...
"The 27-year-old actress is currently the top choice for Felicia Hardy, who’d been long-rumored as one of the new characters in this installment. (Other names bandied about for the role included Julia Stiles, Rachel McAdams, and Romola Garai.) However, unlike in the comic books, this Felicia Hardy doesn’t transform into the Black Cat. Instead, Raimi’s Felicia will become a brand-new superpowered figure called the Vulturess."
I know, sounds like a load of Schumaker doesn't it? They go on to say that the reason the character of The Lizard was dropped is because " The suits simply can’t bring themselves to sign off on such an odd-looking enemy — instead, they’d rather hew closer to villains with a human face." This part I can believe..but since Dylan Baker is already confirmed to reprise the role of Curt Connors, again, sounds fishy.

No Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 4?
ComingSoon.net talked to Bryce Dallas Howard, who said she has not been contacted about reprising the role of Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man 4. Here's a clip:
Q: Will your character Gwen have a big role in "Spider-Man 4?"
Bryce Dallas Howard: Oh goodness! I don't know. I mean, it was really made clear to me when we all did "Spider-Man 3" that it was entirely possible that a character could come back or a character could not and this could be just a specific plotline to that film because there's so many stories in the comic book series and you want to pack as much in as possible so it's truly up to Sam, up to, you know, the writers and the people who have done such an amazing job protecting that franchise and choosing the best storylines for audiences and I'm a fan first. I had an incredible time working with them but more than anything what I want is for that franchise to just continue to kick butt and to really appease the really really really loyal fans, so, including myself.
Kirsten Dunst Written Out in Spider-Man 4
This news is either the best/worst news to come of the fourth film!
According to Contact Music, Kirsten Dunst is being written out of Spider-Man 4 and Anne Hathaway will be the new central love interest of the film series. Anne Hathaway is rumored to be playing Black Cat or Vulturess, neither have been confirmed. In fact, Hathaway has not been confirmed.
A source says, "The plan is for her character to be written out, probably by dying. "Anne will take over as Peter Parker's new love interest for this project and for Spider-Man 5 and 6 which are being written now. Anne's in L.A. doing a lot of meetings on the movie, because filming is right around the corner."
I know that Kirsten Dunst is so-so to Spidey fans. Some love her, some hate her. It intrigues me though that Hathaway will likely be Black Cat in all three of the next films... how will they make it so that she sticks around?
cookiepussproduction: My theory has been that considering Vulture and Black Cat are looking to be the villains (heck, I even did an article once talking about certain things I picked up on and made the connections), and Felicia Hardy was said to be Adrien Toomes daughter, which makes me think that The Vulture will be the main and only villain in Spider-Man 4, Felicia becomes Black Cat in Spider-Man 5, then she returns for Spider-Man 6?
'Spider-Man 4' delayed over script clashes
The latest Spidey sequel is proving villainously difficult to plot out.
Sony and director Sam Raimi are at loggerheads over which direction to go with the villains for the latest installment -- an impasse which has prompted the studio to delay its scheduled spring production start and potentially to bump the pic from its May 11, 2011 release slot.
Raimi wants to have a criminal known as the Vulture act as the primary antagonist in the film while the studio, which dislikes the idea of the winged wrongdoer, is pushing for a romantic sub-plot involving a burglar named the Black Cat in addition to another villain.
A succession of writers has tried to marry the two parties' differing visions to no effect.
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire ("Rabbit Hole") was hired in October 2008 to pen a key version of the screenplay, on top of the earlier version penned by James Vanderbilt ("Zodiac"). Last year, Sony brought in Gary Ross -- Oscar-nominated for his adapted script on 2003's "Seabiscuit" -- which he also helmed.
Alvin Sargent is penning the latest iteration.
Word of the Sony-Raimi conflict first surfaced mid-December on genre Web site IESB, but at the time Sony denied the report, saying tweaking of the script was "nothing unusual."
The differing views about the villain have their origins in the making of "Spider-Man 3."
Raimi, a fan of the wall-crawling super-hero since the character's 1960s debut, wanted to use classic villain Vulture in addition to Sandman, another classic creation, for that movie. The studio pushed him to use Venom, a character that was introduced in the late 1980s, because it thought that character, with its slick alien-symbiote origin, would lend itself to more effective marketing material and a way to attract "the kids."
"Spider-Man 3," while ensnaring $890 million in its worldwide web, turned out to be reviled by both the fanboy community and by many critics. In addition to a hefty paycheck, Raimi purportedly returned to helm the fourth installment in order to leave the series on a high note.
Production still could begin by this summer. While Sony insiders maintain the pic still could remain in its current release date, a shift to a date later in summer 2011 may be more likely considering the lack of a final script for the visual effects-driven project.
John Malkovich Will Play The Vulture In Spider-Man 4!
Malcovich has confirmed he will play The Vulture in the fourth Spider-Man movie while talking on an Italian chat show..
As a guest on an Italian tv Show called "Quelli che il calcio", actor John Malkovich has confirmed that he will play The Vulture in Spider-Man 4.
He has confirmed the production's stopped and that he's waiting on the screenplay.
Finally he said that he is hoping that the shooting will begin very soon.
Editors note: My Italian's a bit rusty, but I think the title of the article certainly sounds like it's confirmed. I'll take Cyc89's word on it! Cool? Not cool?
BuddyLee
2010-01-11, 10:47 AM
fuck both of those, give me lizard or nothing.
I don't see how they can make this movie without the Lizard. What's the point of having Dr. Connors in all of the other movies if you aren't going to transform him at some point?
In the end this franchise is going the way of the Joel Schumacher Batmans.
So looks like NOTHING
Spider-Man 4 Scrapped; Raimi and Maguire Gone; Sony Plans Franchise Reboot for 2012
WHOA. As I mentioned earlier, Nikki Finke just recruited Variety’s chief newshound Mike Fleming, and now the new duo are coming out of the gate with a massive story. Their first big report is that Sony is scrapping Spider-Man 4 after script and schedule concerns caused Sam Raimi to walk away from the film. The scuttled sequel has already been confirmed by a Sony Pictures press release, and the studio will now go for a full franchise reboot. New director, new cast. Details after the break.
Finke and Fleming’s report says the decision was made just today, and that the studio will start over with a “franchise reboot” script by James Vanderbilt. They quote sources reporting that Raimi said he couldn’t make the picture’s 2011 release date and maintain quality standards.
The Sony press release offers more info. Shorn of back-patting quotes, the core info is as follows:
Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.
That means no Malkovich, no Vulture, no Vulturess, and no more Kirsten Dunst. Let’s see what Sony comes up with now; bets on a thinly-translated Ultimate Spider-Man adaptation? Reboot writer James Vanderbilt wrote an early draft of Spider-Man 4, and had been hired to write the presumptive fifth and sixth films.
When that deal for SM5 and 6 came down last August, the possibility of those scripts being the basis for a reboot was mentioned, so this isn’t an utter left-field surprise. Though a studio scrapping a film as potentially massive as Spidey 4 in favor of a reboot is still a huge deal; this is nothing like rebooting the Hulk, or Ghost Rider or Fantastic Four.
What next for Raimi? Will he go directly on to World of Warcraft, the Dennis Lehane adaptation The Given Day, or something else? (Another smaller film?) All things considered, you’ve got to guess that he and Tobey Maguire are both more happy than anything else to get away from increasingly difficult franchise.

Why reboot what was a pretty successful franchise? Take away the 3rd movie and it's gold. You reboot shitty movies not good ones.
New Gritty Spider-Man: Good or Bad?
What direction is our favorite web-slinger headed now? Will it be dark? Will it be total camp? See what SONY has planned here!
Entertainment Weekly reports:
"According to studio insiders, Sony was working on both Raimi’s Spider-Man 4 and the new origin story from James Vanderbilt, who wrote Zodiac. The original plan was to keep the Spider-Man gang together for one last film in 2011 before rebooting the series in 2012. When it became clear that Raimi would not be able to make the summer 2011 release date planned for Spider-Man 4, the studio opted to scrap Spider-Man 4 altogether, and focus solely on the series reboot.
Who will helm the new film is anyone’s guess but with the studio interested in a more gritty, contemporary redo of the series, they are certainly focused on younger directors making waves in Hollywood. One name that has popped up is Marc Webb, the man behind (500) Day of Summer. He was previously in discussions with the studio to take over Moneyball, but that job went to Bennett Miller. Michael Bay has also previously expressed interest in taking over the Spider-Man franchise and Seabiscuit director Gary Ross worked on one of the drafts of Spider-Man 4 and is said to be a huge fan of the comic book series."
Nimrod Antal is Sam Raimi’s Pick for the Spider-Man Reboot?
The last name touted as front runner for directorship of the new Spider-Man series was 500 Days of Summer’s Marc Webb. Okay - there’s that infamous Freakonomics theory that your name can shape your life, but maybe it seems this Webb might not stick. Another new name has been put forward, and this time it’s none other than Nimrod Antal, director of Kontroll, Vacancy, Armored and the upcoming Predators.
So, what did he do to deserve this honor?
According to Quiet Earth, it shook out a little like this:
Sam Raimi met Nimrod on the Sony lot before his first US film, Vacancy. They clicked, so Sam hired him to direct Armored. Now, Predators is getting some great word-of-mouth around tinsel-town. Warners loves it and now Sam Raimi and Sony want the director back at the studio to helm Spider-man.Their source is apparently “an industry insider” which is at once vague and discouraging, and this sort of story is way outside of the Quiet Earth’s typical comfort zone, but I like the site a great deal and they have a rock-solid reputation for trustworthiness.
The angle with Webb is apparently that he’s an expert in the young and hip and his Peter Parker and Mary Jane could have the same pizazz as Summer’s Joseph Gordon Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The angle with Antal, seemingly, is that he’s got experience with action sequences and - and this is the most interesting thing to the rumour, I think - satisfies both Sam Raimi and Sony.
Is the implication here that Sam Raimi is being kept on as a producer or consultant, or somehow being given some exit privileges that afford him say in his successor. Of course, even a credited position can easily mean nothing at all and we all know how Joel Schumacher’s Batman films turned out even though they had Tim Burton’s name in the credit block.
What Got Spider-Man 4 Canned & Spider-Man Reboot Script News!
According to Moviehole, a friend has the dirt...
Moviehole reports that a friend of theres who works at the Sony Pictures Technologies, shot him an e-mail revealing what got Spider-Man 4 cancelled. I dont know if this is real, but it sounds legit.
“Did you read the script man?", the friend asks, "I mean, it was [frick]ing terrible – it was pretty much Spider-Man 3 all over again. I kid you not, it was just a mess. Seriously. You say people are ‘sobbing’ now, but had this film been made, fans would’ve been jumping off roof-tops!".
He goes on to say that Raimi, Maguire and Dunst were all locked in to return, and John Malkovich and Anne Hathaway both were in talks to play Vulture and Vulturess. Although, Hathaway eventually dropped out.
The script started out with Vulture and Black Cat as the villains, but Black Cat eventually was scrapped in favor of the Vulturess, which mind you, was Sony's idea. NOT Raimi's as we all had thought. Beleive it or not, a third villain was also being considered.
Scouting for filming locations had begun, and he adds, "Basically, it was Peter Parker, in between changing his little one’s diapers (yeah, since Spidey 3, Peter already knocked up Mary Jane), fighting the new editor of the Daily Bugle, who's The Vulture (where is J. Jonah Jameson?), and Black Cat. They’ve rewritten it since then (Black Cat is now Vulturess), but I believe the gist of the story remains. Or.. remained".
When Sam Raimi told Sony that he could not meet the May 2011 release date, Sony took advantage of that and stopped production in favor for the reboot.
"Thing is, there’s another script – this reboot script, that was completed around the same time as the Spider-Man 4 script. And it’s apparently - haven’t read it myself – much better.”.
Moviehole got in contact again with him to see if he had any more info but he didn’t, only that the new film will be the first in a new trilogy – a trilogy that’ll be more “Dark Knight” than “Spider-Man” as we know it. “They’re losing the fluff”, he said.
He also goes on to say that if Sony had not put out Spider-Man 4 or the Spider-Man reboot, they would have lost the rights of Spidey, and it would have been reverted back to Marvel. Which of course, Sony would not mind raping the franchise if it meant keeping it under there wing.
It all sounds interesting in the least if it is not true, but I think it is legit. It all sounds perfectly reasonable.
Why Can't We Let The Movie Spider-Man Grow Up?
So Sony have dumped Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, and plan to reboot the Spider-Man movie franchise by taking Peter Parker back to his high school days to start all over. Sounds like half of a great idea, at least.
I actually have nothing against bringing in new people to make the next Spider-movie, especially after the mess of the third (As blasphemous as it may sound, I was never completely sold on Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker anyway, and don't get me started on Kirsten Dunst); there's no reason why the Spider-Man movies couldn't just be treated like James Bond, the actors, directors and writers changing on a regular basis as the movies continue (See also, to lesser effect, the Batman movies. But we got Chris Nolan in the end, so there's that). No, what I don't understand is why the franchise is finding itself going backwards for the next movie. This is how Sony announced the news:
Peter Parker is going back to high school when the next Spider-Man hits theaters in the summer of 2012. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios announced today they are moving forward with a film based on a script by James Vanderbilt that focuses on a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises.
Here's what makes no sense to me: WHY ARE THEY PUTTING PETER PARKER BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL?!?
It isn't just this movie reboot; Marvel Comics have become obsessed with permanently de-aging Spider-Man over the last decade, first with their Ultimate Spider-Man series - where writer Brian Michael Bendis has publicly announced that Peter will never graduate high school no matter how long the series runs - and then with successive series Spider-Man Loves Mary-Jane and Marvel Adventures Spider-Man. Every new version of Spider-Man, it seems, will make sure that he's underage and fulfilling the high-school fantasies that his fanbase never achieved.
But why? Despite Marvel's insistence otherwise, Spider-Man isn't really a high-school character. The original version of the character had graduated and was attending university less than three years after his creation; if anything, the college-age Peter Parker is probably the archetypal one for most fans, having managed to survive for twenty years or so (There's a post-grad involved somewhere in there, but even so, apparently Peter wasn't really fast with the learning). Of course, this is the publisher who retconned the character's 25-year marriage because they thought it made him seem too old, so perhaps there's some kind of not-so-subconscious wish fulfillment makeover on behalf of the creators going on here.
http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/8/2010/01/500x_spider2.jpg
It seems off, though; as a character, Spider-Man works best not as a high-school kid, but just past that, at the point in his life where he's leaving that world of security behind and having to juggle newfound responsibilities as an adult (Including having to take responsibility for himself) with his newfound powers. Don't get me wrong, Ultimate Spider-Man works - but because of the sharp, witty writing, not because of the high-school setting (The same with Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, for that matter). Unlike, say, Buffy, Spider-Man isn't about metaphors for high-school, but about what comes afterwards - Dealing with asshole bosses (Hello, J. Jonah Jameson!), money worries and a repeatedly screwed-up lovelife (One of the things that the movie series has skipped over, by bringing in Mary-Jane so early: Hopefully the reboot can do more with that aspect of the comics) as well as all the superhero stuff people come back for time after time.
(There's also an argument to be made that it's about growing up in general - stuck between two identities, one of which is a reminder of who he "used" to be, and is expected to continue to be for others, and the other, which identifies as "Man" as opposed to boy, where he feels more free and yet has arguably a greater responsibility to more people. But that's neither here nor there.)
But even if Spider-Man was a classic high-school tale, rebooting the movie franchise still seems premature, not just in terms of time (There'll only be four years between "versions" of the character, enough time for the old version to be fresh in audiences' minds), but also in terms of untapped potential in the Raimi version. Yes, some villains have been used (and, in the case of the Green Goblin, used up) already, but there are many more left untouched. Also, for the most part, the characters are still relatively clean slates beyond the basics that are unlikely to change in any version of the franchise. Why risk confusing, or worse, upsetting fans by overwriting or remaking stories they've just finished with when there's so much else left to do?
It would be one thing if the Spider-Man movies weren't hugely successful - As much as I think that rebooting the Fantastic Four and Daredevil movies is a bad move, at least you could argue that their cinematic versions have untapped potential, both in terms of financial success and moviemaking - but the idea of hitting reverse on the franchise that pretty much restarted the superhero movie boom while it was still in motion seems such a counter-intuitive move (Why mess with success, as they say?) that it either speaks to a future disaster, or some impossibly cunning plan that we can't appreciate yet. Based upon the choice to de-age the character, I'm worried that it's not the latter.
Potential Spider-Man Director Marc Webb is an 'Ultimate' Fan
Not only does he follow Spidey comics, but he thinks Joseph Gordon-Levitt could successfully pull off the role.
Update! Gordon-Levitt has a few words of his own to share with fans. . .
MTV recently spoke with Marc Webb at the Golden Globe Awards and posed the question if he was indeed a Spidey fan. "Of course," he commented. "Stan Lee, big fan ... love the 'Ultimate [Spider-Man]' stuff. How could you not be a fan of Peter Parker and Spider-Man?."
When asked if his 500 Days of Summer Star star would will make a good Spider-man, Webb said:
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt would make a good Meryl Streep — he can do anything," with a laugh.
All he had to add when asked if we should expect an announcement regarding his next project any time was, "I hope so!"
Update: MTV later caught up with actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt to find out if there was a real connection between him and the new Spider-Man film.
"You and your movie gossip," he laughed. "It's a fun conversation to have with you...It's like a game of chess."
Though he didn't have anything else to add regarding news of the film, Gordon-Levitt expressed how grateful he was just to hear rumors tying him to the project:
"I'm honored and flattered that you would ask me that," he smiled.
Marc Webb Confirmed for New Spider-Man Trilogy
It seems Sony may found a new Spidey director, in Marc Webb.
So it finally seems that Sony has found interest in a director for the Spideyreboot. I guess now they have another trilogy planned.
"Commenting on the announcement, Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures, said, “At its core, Spider-Man is a small, intimate human story about an everyday teenager that takes place in an epic super-human world. The key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker’s life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter’s shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man’s adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey.”
Arad and Ziskin added jointly, “Over the years, the Spider-Man comics have been told with bold and creative new writers and artists who have re-calibrated the way audiences see Peter Parker. Marc Webb will do for the new direction of the films what so many visionary storytellers have done with the comic books. He is an incredibly talented filmmaker and we look forward to working closely with him on this new adventure.”
Webb said, “This is a dream come true and I couldn't be more aware of the challenge, responsibility, or opportunity. Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to ‘take over’ from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man.”
Stan Lee, co-creator of Spider-Man, added, “I’m excited that Sony has chosen a director with a real penchant and understanding for the character. This is a brave, bold direction for the franchise, and I can’t wait to see what Marc comes up with next.”
Added Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, “The idea of re-imagining the on-screen story for one of the world’s most iconic superheros is sure to deliver an exciting new dimension to Spider-Man fans everywhere. There are volumes of comics and material available to inspire fresh and compelling takes on Peter Parker and his journey as Spidey and we look forward to seeing this come alive onscreen.”
MARC WEBB has won acclaim with his film debut (500) Days of Summer. He has several MTV VMAs™ including 2009's Best Director award for Green Day's "21 Guns," 2006 Best Rock Video for AFI’s “Miss Murder,” and Best Group Video for The All-American Rejects’ “Move Along.” The Music Video Production Association honored him in 2006 as the Director of the Year for his work with Weezer, AAR, and My Chemical Romance.
In addition to two Golden Globe nominations including Best Picture (musical or comedy), his first feature film, (500) Days of Summer, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, has been nominated for three Independent Spirit Awards, including Best Feature. Webb was also awarded the Spotlight Award, which honors outstanding directorial debuts, by the National Board of Review.
"
MarvelFreshman: Hopefully with the help of Marvel Studios, they could make a decent film. And maybe I could grow to like the character. But really I didn't expect them to announce a director for the Spidey reboot, before Marvel Studios announced the director for THE AVENGERS. Seeing how both films will release in 2012.
Spider-Man 2012 Budget to Be in the $80 Million Range
Check out more plans Sony has for the reboot, According to Hollywood Reporter. Including the cast direction, prodution year, and plot fragment.
It was announced earlier today that Marc Webb, will be directing the reboot, while Jim Sturgess is rumored to helm the title role. Well now Hollywood Reporter is reporting more of Sony's plans for the film:
"The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it."
"The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade's "Ultimate Spider-Man" comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst."
"Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin are producing the new movie, which will begin production this year."
MarvelFreshman: Now that I think about it, in the first Spider-Man film, they did kinda rush the death of Peter's uncle. That aspect should be what makes SPidey want to be a hero. I think that was the main problem with the first Spider-Man. They rushed over the franchise to get to an older Spidey for the sequels. High school should be Peter Parkers's main place as a character. Now that I think about I would really like it more, if he would stay a teenager. I'm starting to like this reboot idea.
Do you guys remember the Venom movie that was in the works. I wonder what affect the reboot will have on that.
A Few More Details On Webb's Spidey Reboot
Um, so, Sony is apparently REBOOTING THE SPIDER-MAN FRANCHISE WITHOUT SAM RAIMI!! WTF??? I just heard of this! JK! Here are a few more details on (recently announced) director Mark Webb's Spidey reboot.
Webb, who has options on two sequels, will now tackle a Jamie Vanderbilt script that sees a “Spider-Man” movie that will look and feel very different from the big movies that went before it.
The plan for the movie is to be in the $80 million range and feature a cast of relative unknowns (so you can quash those Rob Pattinson or Gordon-Levitt rumors at this point). And the story will be pared down to center on a high school kid who is dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though the teen had the power to stop it.
The touchstone for the new movie will not be the 1960s comics, which were the inspiration behind the movies by Raimi, who grew on up on them, but rather this past decade’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” comics by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley where the villain-fighting took a back seat to the high school angst.
OK, so. On the surface this is a lazy, creatively bankrupt move that sets a bad precedent for comic book franchises. I mean, you make three movies, then start over and reboot the trilogy? What happens when you reach the end of THIS trilogy, you reboot it again? It seems like a very short-sighted move to ignore 40-plus years of material and tell the origin story AGAIN; it seems like it would be moving the character backward, not forward. Moreover, the franchise will only be ten years old when this comes out; everyone is very familiar with Spidey's cinematic beginnings. And since Rami's films were big blockbusters, you can bet that a lot of people own the DVDs at home. In other words, huge mistake right?
Well, I admit, the idea of a "reboot" is slowly growing on me, especially after reading some of the details of this piece (maybe using the modern comics as a springboard would mean less cheese), and after the director of "500 Days of Summer" was officially announced. I still think you can "fix" the series in mid-stream without a complete do over, but Raimi's films were never perfect, so maybe this is a chance to make things a little more right. If they take out the campiness, don't waste an hour on the origin, and don't do an exact remake of Raimi's first film, I think they'd be on the right track. Oh and if Sony was smart, they'd try to take advantage of this and integrate the character into Marvel's already-connected cinematic universe. Now, that's REALLY wishful thinking. At any rate, at this time I'm taking a "wait and see" attitude.
P.S. I would suggest taking a look at this piece over on IGN, which lists some freaking GREAT suggestions as to what should be included in this new "Spider-Man" film. If Sony is dead set on going this route, adhering to this list would go a long way to convince everyone it was a good idea.
Clive Owen Addresses Spider-Man Rumors
The actor has been linked as being the top contender for the role of Kraven the Hunter in the next Spider-Man installment, but what does he have to say about it?
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/ponyboyzero/kraven.jpg
It is still unclear which villains James Vanderbilt wrote into his Spider-Man script. Clearly, the fan favorite villains for the recently canceled Spider-Man 4 Dr. Curt Connors/the Lizard and Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the Hunter. Now, it appears Sony is making an attempt to give the fans a little of what they asked for in the rebooted franchise.
Apparently, the latest rumor links actor Clive Owen to the role of Kraven. The Coventry Telegraph recently caught up with Owen and asked if he was officially cast for the role.
He said, ""That's the first I've heard. My [daughters] would like me to do it though."
When questioned as to whether this would classify as his 'dream role', Owen remarked:
"I've never had [a dream role], I just take it as it comes. I'm always excited by the idea that the next one could be a gem or something that sets me on fire."
David Henrie has His Sights Set on Spider-Man
Disney star David Henrie talks to OK! about the buzzing rumors that he is next in line to play Spider-Man...
"I think a month ago I saw something pop up on Google Alerts that said, 'David Henrie Might be the Next Spider-Man' and it’s been spreading around ever since," the 20-year-old told OK! Magazine in Hollywood, "I am just happy to read it."
"I am very blessed that the rumor is even going around and I am very happy about it! That would be a dream role for me."
Henrie however realizes that it will take a lot of work to fill former Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire's shoes, "I love Tobey and I have been watching him forever so I would do whatever it takes to follow him in the role."
http://i48.tinypic.com/2ros0zn.jpg
OK! Magazine Reports Zac Efron Will Be the Next Spider-Man
According to UK based OK magazine, Zac Efron has been hand-picked for the role of Peter Parker by no other than Tobey Maguire himself and he's got the part of our beloved web-slinger.
Zac Efron to be the next Spider-Man.
Zac Efron is set for £9m pay day.
High School Musical star, Zac Efron will take over filming later this year.
Zac Efron will take over from current spidey Tobey Maguire.
Producers believe Zac Efron will bring a new fan base to Spider-Man.
OK magazine is reporting Efron is set to nab a whopping £9million pay day as he dons the trademark red & blue spandex as Spider-Man.
Their also saying the reboot movie is due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to be released in cinemas by 2012.
Spider-Man Tobey Maguire, 34, after quitting the franchise, a studio insider revealed: "After dumping Spidey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role."
The Spider-Man Producers believe that Efron, 22, has a massive teen following, which will bring new fans to this new Spider-Man Ultimate reboot franchise with him starring as the red & blue spandex superhero and alter ego geeky Peter Parker.
They have also expressed interest in reuniting Efron with gal pal and co-starer of High School Musical fame, Vanessa Hudgens. She's hotly tipped to replace Dunst as Mary Jane, Peter Parkers love interest and their source added: "It would be a great coup to land her as well. The franchise would be revitalised and transformed by two of Hollywood’s most gifted and fast-rising young stars."
Thanks to OK magazine for the heads up and their link is below.
LEEE777 - So is this just a wild UK Tabloid Rumor or will this in fact turn out to be true, you decide and as always comments please below.
Logan Lerman In Talks To Play Spider-Man!
Lerman has revealed that there's interest from both himself and the studio in having him play Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot...
"There have been a few discussions, it's definitely something I'm looking into," Lerman revealed to Access Hollywood.
The actor did however emphasize that talks are in the preliminary right now.at the moment, "It's just, you know, conversations are starting. It's a long process with the studio and the producers and everything. But it's definitely a project that I'm really interested in, of course," he said.
The 18 year-old actor said that he's a big fan of the character and added, "I'd love to focus on the human element a little bit more. It'd be such a fun experience."

Logan Lerman in Talks for Spider-Man Re-boot? Not According to the Studio!
So unbelievable! Only a few hours after Logan Lerman's words about his role in Spider-Man's reboot...Sony and Lerman's preps denied all!
From Heath Vision:
"Logan Lerman is not in talks to play Peter Parker in the "Spider-Man" reboot.
Both Columbia Pictures and the actor’s camp have denied that Lerman, who stars as the title character in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” is a candidate for job. In an interview with Access Hollywood, Lerman reportedly said, “There have been a few discussions; it’s definitely something I’m looking into.” That has led to reports that Lerman is the new Parker.
While a “wide net” is being cast, according to a studio spokesman, “No offers have been made, nor have any business discussions been made with Lerman.”
The actor’s camp also confirms no business discussions are being held at this time.
The studio has yet to even close a deal with the film’s potential director, Marc Webb, who would helm what promises to be a much more lean and high school-focused movie than the Sam Raimi-Tobey Maguire predecessors.
Anything to do with Spidey is hot news, of course, but it’s one thing for an actor to say, “I’m very interested in it,” like Lerman did, and another to actually have the studio interested in him. At this stage, Sony is looking at all actors who could fit the bill of a high school teen and is compiling a list.
And Lerman is on that list.
Complicating Lerman's chances is his turn in "Percy Jackson," another mega franchise (which opens Feb. 12). If "Jackson" is a hit, Fox is likely to move fast on a sequel, thus tying Lerman up."
MY NOTE:
So...Or Lerman said jokes or Lerman has talks to early about...;)
Ultimate Spider-Man Writer Brian Bendis Consulting Spider-Man Reboot?
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/bendis.jpg
Brian Bendis is a well known, well respected bestselling comic author. He has won critical acclaim including five Eisner Awards (the comic equivalent of the Oscar), and remains one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. Bendis was behind the Spider-Man comic book reboot, Ultimate Spider-Man, which he continues to write ten-years and 130-something issues later. Could Bendis be consulting on the upcoming 3D Spider-Man reboot?
Latino Review noticed that Bendis tweeted on January 11th responding to fan questions about the film:
i work as a consultant on the marvel movies. this is a sony movie. i have no involvement. but maybe if you all scream loud enough :)
And earlier today Bendis tweeted:
Just spent a very interesting morning at Sony with the entire spidey movie team!! Very very cool stuff!!
Looks like Bendis might’ve been consulting Webb, screenwriter James Vanderbilt, and team on the new big screen reboot. It shouldn’t be that much of a surprise as the (500) Days of Summer director told MTV in January that he is a big fan of the Stan Lee material, but he “love(s) the ‘Ultimate [Spider-Man]‘ stuff
Rumor: Spider-Man Has Been Cast
The Cinema Source reports that a certain fan favorite has landed the role of the new Peter Parker.
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k158/ponyboyzero/00153g2e.jpg
The Cinema Source recently reported that Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Logan Lerman has been cast in the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Marc Webb's reboot. This exclusive news was related to the site by an insider source.
The Cinema Source doesn't supply any further details regarding the rumored casting choice or how they came about this information. Until this is confirmed by the studio, don't consider it official.
This isn't the first time we've heard Lerman's name linked to the new Spider-Man franchise; which will focus on a younger Peter Parker that tries to balance his first few years of crime fighting with high school. Lerman has stated that he is very interested in the role, but there has been no word that the studio is actively pursuing him as a candidate.
You know the drill, Confirm or Debunk below.
Brian Micahel Bendis Says New Spidey Will Be Ultimate!
So says the Ultimate Writer himself!
A anonymous tipster sent the below info into SuperHeroHype via LatinoReview:
"I talked to Bendis today.
Yeah, I met him at Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, it was awesome. Got a picture, and a signature. Awesome guy, I ate some of his cookies. Was thirty minutes late though.. I asked him really quickly about the reboot, I told him to "give a lot of good ideas to the movie, just please make sure its really good". (Sorry to all the Ultimate-SM haters).
He told me, "From what I've heard it's going to be exactly like this (pointing to my Volume 1 of Ultimate Spider-Man". ("Verbatim")
.. So. Yay!"
I guess that means we could get a mutated Green Goblin at the end of the first flick? Your guess is as good as mine. Sorry Non Ultimate fans but at least we are getting away from Raimi's Green Goblin Power Ranger outfit. With James Cameron helping with visual effects you can bet we will get a more Comic realistic version of Gobby this time around!

Hollywood is seeking a new Spider-Man after Sony Pictures made the shock announcement that Tobey Maguire would no longer take the lead role in the £2 billion franchise. Sony said that a new Spider-Man film would appear in 2012 focusing on Parker, a teenager “grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing superhuman crises”. Although Maguire is hugely popular with young film goers, he would be 36 by the time the new film was released.

Alvin Sargent Rewriting Spider-Man Reboot
According to THR, Spider-Man 2012, script will be rewritten by veteran screenwriter, Alvin Sargent. Check It Out!
Until today, the latest news on the Spidey reboot being Sony Saying the Reboot Humbles Them! & rumored guys to takeover the role, but all have proven inaccurate. And with the likes of Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America being the most talked about Marvel heroes, leaving Web-head in the shadows of the media.
But now today, THR has brought Spidey back in the picture with reports that "The veteran screenwriter, Alvin Sargent, is doing a production polish as the studio runs with eight legs toward a planned shoot later this year.
While this is no surprise, being that Sargent has reworked the previous 'Spider-Man' franchise, and would have even worked on the fourth installment to that franchise, but of course it was scrapped.
THR includes that The new “Spider-Man” is rumored to be more emotionally anchored and realistic than the previous movies. Word is that Peter Parker will be a 17-year-old high school kid struggling with shifting hormones and an outsider status. And let’s not forget the death of his uncle. And the studio is working off a script by Jamie Vanderbilt, who wrote “Zodiac” and a draft of “Spider-Man 4” before the studio scrapped its plans for the sequel to re-start the series.

A Columbia spokesperson did not comment on the casting process, saying “There have been a number of names floated online and almost every week, someone calls with a new rumor. We are not commenting on the casting process or rumors such as these.” Alvin Sargent is currently rewriting the script for the 2012 reboot.
DCMF: Casting relative unknowns in a story (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=18516#) that roots Parker back in high school, outlining the tale of a teen dealing with the knowledge that his uncle died even though he had the power to stop it. With Sam Raimi'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=18516#) previous franchise, it obviously dealt with this and moved on. So I'm curios at how general audiences will retake this story, downgrading from the talented Toby Maguire to an relatively unknown. What do you think?
Jamie Bell Closing In On Spider-Man?

According to Bleeding Cool, One of the actors from the short list may be close to getting the role...
Last week it was reported that Sony has a short list of actors that may be close to portraying Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in the franchise reboot. Bleedingcool.com is reporting that Jamie Bell (Jumper, Billy Elliot) may be very close to inking the deal...
In the last twenty-four hours, Bleeding Cool had received repeated reports that Sony have settled on their new Spider-Man. And he is Jamie Bell, English actor, star of Billy Elliot with another major comc-book lead under his belt, playing Tintin in the upcoming Spielberg/Jackson/Moffat/Cornish/Wright CGI adaptation of the popular comic.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/15865/3953202.jpg
I think Bell is a talent, a fine actor who will no doubt have a solid future in the industry, but is he ready for the role of a lifetime? That's the hard question. You guys know what to do!
Update: Although Bleeding Cool haven't heard anything back from Sony after their inquiry as to whether Bell's securing of the role is legit, Cinematical have received a firm "No Comment". No we all know that no comment means..well, no comment! But its not a denial, and since studios are not usually too hesitant about quashing a rumor, I for one think it may just mean Bell is our Spidey. But hey, who knows! You will as soon as we do. -Ror.
The Lizard To Be The Villain In Spider-Man Reboot?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/18905.jpg http://b.scorecardresearch.com/b?C1=8&C2=6035047&C3=445.9429&C4=ad20487b&C5=22&C6=15t7ju11a4k9nq&C7=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/%3Fa%3D18905&C8=The%20Lizard%20To%20Be%20The%20Villain%20In%20S pider-Man%20Reboot%3F&C9=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/&C10=1366x768&rn=92936898http://b.scorecardresearch.com/b?C1=8&C2=6035047&C3=445.9429&C4=ad20487b&C5=152129&C6=15t7ju11a4k9nq&C7=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/%3Fa%3D18905&C8=The%20Lizard%20To%20Be%20The%20Villain%20In%20S pider-Man%20Reboot%3F&C9=http%3A//comicbookmovie.com/&C10=1366x768&rn=11996455 http://ans.giantrealm.com/img/gr.comicbookmovie/ros;tile=2;sz=300x250;ord=1234567890 (http://ans.giantrealm.com/click/gr.comicbookmovie/ros;tile=2;sz=300x250;ord=1234567890)
The next villain we could see in the Spider-Man big screen rouges gallery could be Dr. Curt Connors himself, aka The Lizard. Plus, an update on the Jamie Bell as Parker rumor.
This rumor comes from the same sources that reported that Jamie Bell was close to nabbing the role of Peter Parker. This time its all about the bad guy. Bleeding Cool claim that despite The Lizard being the fan favorite villain in the ongoing Sam Raimi saga which is of course now scrapped, the scaly one will appear in Marc Webb's rebooting of the story (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=18905#).
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spiderman_lizard.jpg
After yesterdays news that Michael Fassbender may have been approached to play the villain in the new Spidey movie, its possible(if either or both of these stories (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=18905#) even hold water of course) that he may be playing Curt Connors, who we hjave previously seen in Rami's films (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=18905#) played by Dylan Baker.
The site also has some further info on the Bell rumor...
I’m told that Jamie Bell was scheduled to fly into California this week. The plan is that he will be undergoing a few weeks of camera tests while simultaneously working with a personal trainer to ensure he is able to perform some of the more spider-like stunts that will be required of him. However this is being considered a formality.
As for Josh Hutcherson, previously much favoured, I’m told that he may be caught in an option on a previous movie deal and, as a result, may not be available for any web swinging.
Frank Dillane is still being considered for the role, but he appears to be Sony’s back up plan. Unless something goes very wrong, I understand that Bell will be playing the Spider-Man role. To the extent that Jamie has been heard referred to as Spider Man in casual conversation around Sony.
And they wonder how these things leak…
Since Bell's rumored securing of the role and this new report of The Lizard being the villain comes from the same source, its likely that they are either both true or both complete tripe! Anyway, let your fingers do the talking (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=18905#) and confirm or debunk below.
Spider-Man Shortlist Gets Longer: Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin Considered (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/11/spider-man-shortlist-gets-longer-aaron-johnson-and-anton-yelchin-considered/)
Posted on Friday, June 11th, 2010 by Russ Fischer (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/russ-fischer/)
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/johnson-yelchin-spider-man.jpg
A couple weeks ago we reported that Sony and Marc Webb were looking at five actors (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/26/spider-man-actor-shortlist-features-jamie-bell-andrew-garfield/) to play Peter Parker in the new version of Spider-Man: Jamie Bell; Andrew Garfield; Alden Ehrenreich; Frank Dillane; and Josh Hutcherson.
Last week we heard that Jamie Bell was the front-runner (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/07/big-big-rumor-jamie-bell-cast-in-spider-man-reboot/), albeit without any official confirmation. Now there are two more names to add to the list: Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin, from Terminator: Salvation and the upcoming Fright Night remake. (What, no Don Glover (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/30/donald-for-spider-man/)? Damn.)
http://b.scorecardresearch.com/b?c1=8&c2=2102&c3=34&c4=516627&c5=&c6=&c15=1929%2c398%2c1477%2c1311&c16=SFRB1%2cSFRB2%2cBK001%2cPCMG3%2cZIDM1&cv=1.3&cj=1
The LA Times (http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/06/spider-man-aaron-johnson-anton-yelchin-webb.html) reports the names, but doesn’t present any specific intel on either actor, or on the previous list, for that matter. But both of these actors are people many expected to see on a Spider-Man shortlist — they’re among the more notable up and coming guys who can both act and do the physical stuff necessary to make a film like Spider-Man work.
After Johnson’s turn in Kick-Ass, many naturally speculated about his suitability for Spider-Man. The lead characters of the two films have certain similarities, and Johnson’s performance was strong.
As Movieline (http://www.movieline.com/2010/06/aaron-johnson-joins-spider-man-casting-derby-despite-his-own-reservations.php) notes, Johnson once appeared to lack any real interest in Spider-Man. (In stark contrast to the typical actor’s stance of never saying no in public.) But things could have changed, depending upon what sort of offers he’s been made in the wake of the performance of Kick-Ass.
And Yelchin is a strong choice in some ways. I’ve expressed an admiration for his work more than once; while he didn’t have much chance to shine in Star Trek, I thought he killed in Terminator: Salvation as the young Kyle Reese. My first impulse is that I’m not certain he’s right for Peter Parker, but thinking about it more, he really does have a look and vibe that cuts back to some of the early depictions of the character. I’d love to see Webb go that direction, though I don’t really expect him to.
Spider-Man Screen Tests Under Review at Sony (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/27/spider-man-screen-tests-under-review-at-sony/)
Posted on Sunday, June 27th, 2010 by Russ Fischer (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/russ-fischer/)
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/amazing-spider-man-1.jpg
This is a pretty small update to the story about the casting of Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man, to be directed in 3D by Marc Webbhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/27/spider-man-screen-tests-under-review-at-sony/#). We’ve had one major leaked actor shortlist (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/05/26/spider-man-actor-shortlist-features-jamie-bell-andrew-garfield/), which was later augmented (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/11/spider-man-shortlist-gets-longer-aaron-johnson-and-anton-yelchin-considered/) with a couple more names. And despite rumors that Sony liked any given actor over the others, the casting process is ongoing.
A new report says that Sony has shot screen tests with most of the names on the list, and is still working with Webb to choose a lead so that the rest of the film can be cast around him.
Deadline (http://www.deadline.com/2010/06/sony-views-screen-tests-of-spider-man-finalists-decision-expected-shortly/) lists the actors who have tested and are now actively being considered. Jamie Bellhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/27/spider-man-screen-tests-under-review-at-sony/#), Anton Yelchin, Aaron Johnson, Andrew Garfield, Alden Ehrenreich and Logan Lerman (whose name seemingly just can’t be cut out of the Spider-Man talk, no matter what happens) have all tested.
That accounts for all the shortlist names but two: Frank Dillane and Josh Hutcherson. Dillane reportedly didn’t test, because he plans to go to school at London’s Royal Academy of Dramatic Art this coming fall. So he’s probably out of the running. Hutcherson isn’t mentioned at all by Deadline, so we don’t know what his status is with Sony, but he’d always seemed like an outside chance due to other commitments. Just a week ago he said that he was still part of the mix for Spider-Man, but that the Journey to the Center of the Earth sequel would shoot in October, which likely conflicts directly with Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/27/spider-man-screen-tests-under-review-at-sony/#).
Also mentioned as being in the running, but possibly not having tested, is Michael Angarano, who is certainly in the same age bracket as the other actors, and is skilled. He also seems like an outside chance, but can’t be ruled out yet.
Out of all these names, I still like Anton Yelchinhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/27/spider-man-screen-tests-under-review-at-sony/#). Alden Ehrenreich would also be a great choice, but one I don’t expect the studio to go for. So: nothing has really changed; we’re just a step or two forward in the process.
RUMOR: Josh Hutcherson Has Been Cast as Spider-Man! Lizard to be Villain!
Blue Sky Disney has leaked the news and the Internets are aflame!
With all of the talk about who would be the next Peter Parker, every male actor and their Mom auditioned for the role with Sony selecting a handful of candidates as the finalists for the coveted role of Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=19605#). I thought they'd wait until Comic-Conhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=19605#) to announce who he would be, but Blue Sky Disney got the scoop:
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/16764/josh_hutcherson_1950572.jpgYour friendly, rebooted Spider-Man in the flesh. Word from my Bothans is that Sony has settled on "Journey to the Center of the Earth'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=19605#)" Josh Hutchersonhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=19605#) as the newly, high school bound Peter Parker. After several extensive test shoots were performed, Marc Webb and the top Sony $uits decided that Hutcherson was the right fit for the role and an offer was made and has been accepted. Now I wonder who'll be cast as the Lizard?
Sirawesome: He looks pretty close to the part and has some decent acting chops, I think he'll go fine in the spidermanhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=19605#) reboot. What do you guys think of Hutcherson?

The actor has talked to ComingSoon.net about his audition for the role of Peter Parker in Marc Webb's upcoming Spider-Man (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/) reboot...
The site managed to catch up with Josh Hutchersonhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/2_bing.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=19600#), who's one of the candidates on the rumoured "short list", and asked him a few questions about his audition. Below are the parts where he talks about the Spider-Man reboot but to read the rest, just follow the link at the bottom of the page!
http://i50.tinypic.com/296m0qe.jpg (http://tinypic.com/)
On his audition and how he feels about being considered for the role:
"I think a lot of people are auditioning and talking about it, so it's an honor to be considered on the same list with some of these actors that I'm up against. It's really cool. To be talked about in that kind of role is very awesome."
On whether he's still in the running:
"I really don't know what's going on with everything right now. It would be an honor to play that role, it's a big thing, it's a total game changer. I really want to play a comic book hero. I'm not really huge into comics, but I've always been big into superheroes from the cartoons and the movies that have been made about them."
On whether he got to read the script for the movie:
"No, they won't let anybody read that. They have it in a safe inside a vault inside some secret Fort Knox location."
Christoph Waltz Considered For the Lizard in Spider-Man Reboot?
According to 'The Playlist', Sony is considering Inglorious Basterds star Christoph Waltz for Marc Webb's 3D reboot of "Spider-Man. Check it Out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spidy%20back%20copy.png

With Andrew Garfieldhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=21173#) set to lead Sony's Spider-Man reboot, director Marc Webb has moved on to casting supporting characters. And according to Production Weekly via The Playlist, the studio is now considering the Inglorious Bastards star Christoph Waltz, for the villainous role of Curtis Connors, The Lizard.
The source says specifically, "Earlier this week we heard that Sony is interested in "Inglourious Basterds" star Christoph Waltz for the villain character in Marc Webb's 3D reboot of "Spider-Man." The same piece of information is now in this week's pages of Production Weekly: Sony interested in Waltz (presumably this is the Lizard if the rumors are correct).
If true, the 53 year old Austrian would sure bring much-needed star power to the reboot, recently winning an Oscar for best actor in a supporting role in Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds. And recently wrapping up on Michel Gondry's Green Hornet unsurprisingly as the film's villain, being in a superhero flick such as this wouldn't be anything too diverse from the actor's resume.
And as for the villain for Spidey's return, it's a pretty much guaranteed that Dr. Curtis Connors would be the usual medical doctor and researcher, but unlike Sam Raimi's trilogy, we may actually get to see when Connors' cure turns out to be worse than his disease; The Lizard.
Anyhow, Marc Webb will be directing the reboot, with filming expected to begin late this year. And the webslinger swings into theaters July 3, 2012 in the infamous 3D!
Candidates For Love Interest in Spider-Man Reboot Revealed
THR has Exclusive young actresses that could possibly be the main love interest in Sony's Spider-Man reboot. Check it Out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spidy%20back%20copy.png
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/spider%20horefemalwdaokf.png
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Marc Webb has narrowed down actresses to portray the potential lover interest in Spider-Man reboot.
Ophelia Lovibond, a British up-and-comer who appeared in “Nowhere Boy” and “4.3.2.1” and recently wrapped William Monahan’s “London Boulevard”;
Lilly Collins, repped by CAA and ROAR, who appeared in “The Blind Side” last year and will be seen in “Priest.”
Teresa Palmer - Teresa Palmer, who is currently shooting “I Am Number Four” and was the romantic lead in this summer’s “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” The actress, repped by WME and Management 360, read with Garfield last weekend.
Emma Roberts - has twice flown from the set of “Scream 4” for readings. (Sweeney Management-repped Roberts co-starred with Lovibond in “4.3.2.1.”)
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, the love interest in “Scott Pilgrim vs the World,” was in the arachnid web but sources say she has now fallen out.
THR goes on to say starting today and heading into the weekend, select actresses are meeting with Webb and new Spidey actor Andrew Garfieldhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=21692#). And unlike Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, the main love interest WON'T be Mary Jane, and could be Gwen Stacy, Parker’s other love interest in the comics, or possibly a new character.
And Mary Elizabeth Winsteadhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=21692#), who portrays the love interest in Edgar Wright's recent Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, was also in the mix, but reportedly has fallen out. And although it was rumored that the film's setting would be in Peter Parker's College years, according THR; the story is more grounded in the high school.

Andrew Garfield Speaks On His 'Spider-Man' Future!
[/URL]
The young actor who'll soon be recognized as the new face of Spider-Man speaks on his approach to the role, prep work, and films he has planned after. Check It Out!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/Spider-man-Andrew%20Garfield%20Banner.png
Sony officially announced British actor Andrew Garfield as the new face of Peter Parker for the Marc Webb-director reboot, back in July. And now speaking with Jay A. Fernandez of THR | Risky Business on his experience at the Telluride [URL="http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22299#"]Film (http://www.superherostuff.com/characters/Spiderman/spiderman_merchandise.html) Festival, Fernandez gets a few answers from Garfield, on his future as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, approaching the role, and prep work.
Have you been prepping for Spider-Man?
"I have been waiting for this phone call for 24 years, for someone to call me up and say, "Hey, we want you to pretend to be a character that you’ve always wanted to be all your life, and we’re going to do it with cool cameras and cool effects and you’re going to feel like you’re swinging through New York City. Do you want to do that?" [laughs] “Let me just consult with my seven-year old self and see what he thinks...” So my seven-year-old self started screaming in my soul and saying, This is what we’ve been waiting for. Like every young boy who feels stronger on the inside than they look on the outside, any skinny boy basically who wishes their muscles matched their sense of injustice, God, it’s just the stuff that dreams are made of, for sure. It’s a true [frick]ing honor to be part of this symbol that I actually think is a very important symbol and it’s meant a great deal to me, and it continues to mean something to people. So yeah, I feel like I’ve been preparing for it for a while. Ever since Halloween when I was four years old and I wore my first Spider-Man costume."
What's your approach to wrapping your brain around the coming shift in terms of your increased visibility with Spider-Man?
"Not to give it credence, not to give it any of my energy. Just approach it like any other job that I care about deeply. That may be naïve of me to think that I can just get away with that. But if you give focus to something, it will grow. I just want to be an actor, really. And of course all those things came into consideration when I was making the decision. But at the end of the day, I had faith that I would be able to not be defined by it. And I still have faith that I will be able to get lost in roles and just keep doing what I love to do."
Have you gotten any advice about how to balance it?
"I’ve witnessed other friends go through it, so I’m aware of the pitfalls, for sure. So I already feel as prepared as I can be, and also no advice can really prepare you for something so visceral."
Is there any other prep work you’ll need to do? Will you need to change your physicality or do training?
"I’m sure there will be a bunch of that, yeah. Flexibility is my main focus right now. Making sure that I can be as flexible as possible. It’s all kind of starting up so I haven’t really got much to say about it."
You start shooting in December, but are you planning anything else after or in the meantime?
Yeah, sure. There’s a film that I really like that I shouldn’t really talk about. I really want to do a play afterwards. I was already thinking, "How am I going to offset this experience and create equilibrium within my system after this incredibly big thing?"
Director (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22299#) Marc Webb & the studio are currently on the search for supporting roles, in which Ophelia Lovibond, Lilly Collins, Teresa Palmer, and Emma Roberts are being looked at for the Spidey's main squeeze. And Sony has July 3, 2012 set for Spidey's return in 3D!
Hilary Duff As Spidey's New Gal?
By Melissa Molina on September 07, 2010
http://www.latinoreview.com/images/upload/1283877399_image_1275462022.jpg During the middle of an interview with NHL hockey player Mike Comrie, the reporter on that piece gazed upon a pile of paper that was sitting on his kitchen table. Mind you, he recently married former Disney star Hilary Duff, which makes this all the more intriguing.
Although tastefully furnished (Comrie says he's unsure if anything is from The Brick), it is relatively humble by Beverly Hills standards. The kitchen contains evidence of their professional lives – his daily diet is posted on the fridge (from a bacon cheddar burrito for breakfast to five pigs-in-a-blanket as a nighttime snack) and a script marked “Spiderman” sits on the table, with lines for a character simply called “girl” highlighted in yellow (rumours swirl about who Spidey's love interest will be in the series' next instalment.)
It looks like Hilary Duff is in contention to be the new love interest of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Since Andrew Garfield is locked in to be the web slinger in the Marc Webb directed reboot, we'll be hearing about these things for awhile.
If she's one of the actresses who's a possibility to be our new innocent maiden, does that mean we throw out thelist (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/who-will-be-spidey-s-new-love-interest-10883) of could-be leads previously reported? No idea, but rumors definitely suck at a time like this.
Do you want Hilary Duff to be your new Gwen Stacey/Mary Jane/random new girl? Or would you rather have it be someone else?

On Whether He Wants To Do A Movie Like Spider-Man To Reach A Bigger Audience:
"That's a byproduct maybe. But it's not something that comes into my thought process. I want my life to be my life, and I want my work to be my work. I don't want to identify one with the other. What's important is life comes first. My family comes first, and my friends, and my happiness comes first. It just so happens I get happiness out of working hard. I get happiness out of working on something hard. The idea of fame isn't something that interests me, the idea of celebrity isn't something that interests me."
On Whether He's Worried About Having To Answer Spider-Man Related Questions For "The Next 10 Years":
"You just put that in my head! No, I haven't really given it that much thought. As I was saying, I'm going to approach it like I approach any other role. I'm just going to work as much as I can, because it's been such an important symbol to me since I was four years old. It's meant so much to me, and it's given me so much hope as a skinny little streak of piss, who feels more powerful inside than he looks on the outside. Every skinny boy's dream. I'm very lucky."
On Where The Movie Will Take It's Influences And The Tone We Can Expect:
"What's wonderful about Spider-Man is it's no one's and it's everyone's. It means so much to so many people. It's mythology and a legacy. There is no definitive version. You look back at the Dick Cook Stan Lee comics to the Ultimates and the Incredibles and the Amazings, then you go to the original cartoon series in the 70s and how that translated to the one in the 90s that Avi Arad was involved in, it's constantly shifting and reflecting the time and being as relevant and topical as it can be. I think it's going to shift again. I don't know in what way, but it's going to be defined by where we are as a society, and hopefully people are going to enjoy it, because I think we're going to enjoy making it."
On Whether He's Met Stan Lee Yet:
No, I haven't. That's going to be very cool though."
Variety reports that Easy A actress Emma Stone, has been added to the list of candidates for Spidey's main squeeze in the upcoming reboot. Check it Out!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/Spidey%20art%20by%20drago%20flame.jpg
With the actress' most recent film (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22992#) Easy A, bringing in more than $18 million on the opening weekend at the box office, Emma Stone (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22992#) is circling various roles for upcoming Sony (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22992#) reboots. Variety reports that in addition to circling a role opposite Jonah Hillhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22992#), in the 21 Jump Street reboot...
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/stoneama.jpg"Stone has also been added to a list including Lily Collins, Teresa Palmer and Mia Wasikowska the studio is considering for the female lead in the untitled "Spider-Man" reboot"
And while the other three actresses are also still in the running for the role, Variety's insiders say Stone may have an advantage given her relationship with the studio. When the first set of candidates were revealed, it was said that the Peter Parker's love interest wouldn't be Mary Jane Watson, like in Sam Raimi's trilogy. And it's strongly believed to be Gwen Stacy.
If her close relationship with studio lands her the role, Stone would star opposite lead Andrew Garfield. And with big news coming soon, claims director (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=22992#) Marc Webb, Spidey's 3D return to theaters begins world-wide July 3, 2012.

Emma Stone to be Offered "Mary Jane" Role in Spider-Man Reboot!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/23368.jpg
Sony Pictures has apprently found their new "Mary Jane" for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot; In young Easy A actress Emma Stone. Check it Out!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spidjane.jpg
Early reports listed Easy A actress Emma Stonehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=23368#), as a candidate for a love interest in the Marc Webb-directed Spider-Man reboot, that would NOT be Mary Jane Watson, who Kirsten Dunst portrayed in Sam Raimi's trilogy. But now Deadline is reporting...
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/emma%20jane.jpg"Sony Pictures Entertainment will imminently offer the role of Mary Jane Watson to Emma Stone"
Other actresses who were listed as contenders, which include Glee's Dianna Agron, Mia Wasikowska, Georgina Haig and Dominique McElligott, will be considered for the role of Gwen Stacy, which Bryce Dallas Howard played in Spider-Man 3.
Deadline also says that "Gwen Stacy will be a plum part for the first installment, because she is the first love interest of the high school-aged Peter Parker. And Mary Jane becomes more pivotal in the later installments of the Spidey saga."
The rumor of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman portraying Venom, has yet to be confirmed. So with Andrew Garfield set to lead, production is set to begin by the end of the year. And Spider-Man swings back in theaters July 3, next year in 3D.
Confirmed: Emma Stone Will Star In Spider-Man, But As Gwen Stacy!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/23545.jpg
The rumors suggested the red head would be up for the role of Mary Jane Watson in Marc Webb's Spider-Man, but now its official: Stone will play Gwen Stacy..
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/8073/EMMA-STONE.jpgThe announcement came today via press release from Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment and Matt Tolmach, president of Columbia Pictures that stone will play Gwen Stacy in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot, and not Mary Jane Watson as was previously rumored.
Said Tolmach of the announcement:
“It’s been an incredible journey for us to watch Emma’s star rise as an actress. She is extraordinarily talented and has a very special on-screen spark that is perfect for this role. Given her history with the studio, casting her in one of our most important franchises is a real thrill.”
Marc Webb added:
"The chemistry between Andrew and Emma was stunning and made Emma the clear choice. At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own. Much to my surprise, it was fun to find out that our choice for Gwen (Emma) is also a natural blonde.”
Stone has previously stared in Superbad, The House Bunny, and Zombieland, all for Columbia Pictures; she can currently be seen in Easy A.
So, I assume she will be dying her hair anyway! See the full press release by clicking the link below. So we know the female lead will be Gwen Stacy, does that mean MJ won't be in the movie at all? Rumors point to the contrary, but we shall see I guess.
Rhys Ifans Will Be Our New Spider-Man Villain!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/23794.jpg
The Welsh actor has been offered the still unrevealed role of the villain in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot..
Well, this came out of nowhere. Its just a shame we still don't know exactly which villain Ifans will be playing..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/Rhys-Ifans-Cast-as-the-Villain-in-SPIDER-MAN.jpg
Here is the official press release..
Commenting on the announcement, Tolmach said, “We have been very fortunate to attract some of the best actors working today to play the villains in the Spider-Man movies, and it is exciting to see that trend continue with Rhys Ifans. After seeing his performance in our upcoming film Anonymous, we’re in awe of his talent and think he’s the perfect choice to take on this role.”
The filmmakers prefer to not reveal which character Ifans will be playing in the forthcoming film.
Webb added, “What sets the Spider-Man villains apart is the complexity of their relationships with Peter Parker. Rhys' incredible ability to embody both warmth and rage makes him the ideal choice for this character."
Spider-Man is being overseen at the studio by Tolmach and Rachel O'Connor. Ifans is represented by United Talent Agency, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Independent Talent Group.
RHYS IFANS’ breakout performance came in 1999 in Roger Michell’s Notting Hill, opposite Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, for which he received a BAFTA Film Award nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role. Prior to that, Ifans starred in Heart, Twin Town, August, and Dancing at Lughnasa, and since then, he has appeared in more than 20 films, including Vanity Fair; Rancid Aluminium,Little Nicky; The Replacements; Hannibal Rising, Enduring Love; Human Nature; Formula 51; Hotel; The Shipping News; Once Upon A Time in the Midlands, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Pirate Radio; Greenberg; and Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang. He will next appear inMr. Nice, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Passion Play, and Columbia Pictures’ Anonymous, for director Roland Emmerich.
On television, he played the role of Peter Cook in Terry Johnson’s “Not Only But Always,” for which he won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actor. He also appeared in “A Number.” In the theatre, Ifans has appeared in “Accidental Death of an Anarchist,” “Bad Finger,” “Volpone,” “Under Milk Wood,” “Beautiful Thing,” “Thyesters,” and, most recently, Patrick Marber's adaptation of “Don Juan in Soho” at the Donmar Warehouse.
Many feel that because Stacy is involved, then the film may lead to her death, which would involve The Green Goblin(providing they stick to the comic of course). But since he has already appeared its likely Webb will want to go another route, even though this is a reboot. Venom has also been rumored. What do you folks think? He certainly looks the part for Goblin anyway.
Rhys Ifans Will Play the Lizard in ‘Spider-Man’ (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/13/rhys-ifans-will-play-the-lizard-in-spider-man/)
Posted on Wednesday, October 13th, 2010 by Russ Fischer (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/russ-fischer/)
http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/images/the-lizard-1.jpg
Well, Dylan Baker got screwed. After patiently doing very little in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies as Dr. Curt Connors, a part which was slowly setting up Mr. Baker (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/13/rhys-ifans-will-play-the-lizard-in-spider-man/#) for a villainous (or dangerous) turn as The Lizard, the actor now has to watch someone else play the role he built.
Much speculation has gone down over what character would occupy the villain’s role in Marc Webb’s upcoming Spider-Man reboot, and The Wrap (http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column-post/exclusive-sony-new-spider-man-villain-lizard-21693) now reports that it will be The Lizard. With Rhys Ifans recently announced (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/11/rhys-ifans-cast-as-spider-man-villain/) as the lead villain in the film, that puts him in the role of a teacher/scientist whose attempt to regenerate his missing arm leads to severe genetic catastrophe. Rather than regrowing an arm, he is turned into a reptilian monster.
Mr. Ifans is great for the part, though I was looking forward to seeing how the much more sympathetic Dylan Baker, who was also looking like a mentor figure to Peter Parker in Sam Raimi’s films, would end up playing the character. I’d expect we’ll see a more overtly evil and dangerous version here. The Lizard will face off against Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and perhaps menace Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy. Alternate romantic (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/10/13/rhys-ifans-will-play-the-lizard-in-spider-man/#) lead Mary Jane Watson is in the film, but an actress hasn’t yet been announced for a role.
Here’s a rundown on the Lizard’s basic history from the Marvel wiki (http://marvel.com/universe/Lizard_%28Curtis_Connors%29):Curt Connors was a gifted surgeon who went into a war to help his country. He performed “meatball” surgery on wounded GIs, but his arm was injured in a blast and had to be amputated. He eventually became obsessed with uncovering the secrets of reptilian regeneration, and studied reptilian biology extensively. From his home in the Everglades, he finally determined a serum taken from the DNA of a reptile. He had successfully regrown the missing limb of a rabbit, and, despite the warnings of his wife, chose to test it on himself. Connors ingested it, and his arm did indeed grow back. Unfortunately, it had one side effect: Connors was subsequently transformed into a reptilian monster!
Young Peter Parker & Billy Connors Casting Call for Spider-man Reboot Unveiled
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/23973.jpg
Sony is reportedly on a hunt for a young Peter Parker, and the son of The Lizard, Billy Connors, for the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. Make the jump for audition specs.
According to Moviehole, Sony launched auditions this morning in search of young actors for their Marc Webb-directed Spider-man reboot. The casting call not only calls for a young Peter Parker, but also a young Billy Conners, whose father Dr. Curt Conners, Welsh actor Rhys Ifans (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=23973#) will be playing in the film.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spidey%20billy.jpg
"Sony want[s] a dark-haired Caucasian boy to play actor Peter Parker at age 4 to 6 years old. Ideally, the boy should look a little like Andrew Garfield...In addition, the studio's on the hunt for an actor to play Billy Connors, the son of Dr. Curt Connors... Applicants need be between 8 and 11 years old."
In the comics (via Comicvine (http://www.comicvine.com/billy-connors/29-6724//)), Billy Connors a young boy,is the son of Martha & Curt Connors. He once had cancer but is now (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=23973#) a survivor. Billy alongside his mother must suffer the consequences of his father's errors. Billy is put into a foster home after he is cured and retains no love for his father. When Curt becomes the Lizard in "SHED", the Lizard wants to punish Connors and kills Billy who says just before he dies that he always new his dad would kill him.
Anyhow, starring Andrew Garfield (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=23973#) as Parker in High school, Emma Stone (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=23973#) as Gwen Stacy, and of course Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors himself, Spider-Man 3D swings into theaters July 3, 2012. From today's news, just knowing the film will be going in a different direction brings great feelings, what do you think?
Sam Elliot And John Slattery In The Running For J Jonah Jameson In Spider-Man
Apparently those 2 actors are among a group that have met with Marc Webb to play the grizzled, grouchy editor of The Daily Bugle..
As shooting day approaches, Marc Webb and Francine Mailer are working around the clock to fill out the remaining roles in Webb's upcoming Spider-Man reboot. We have our Peter Parker(Andrew Garfield), our Gwen Stacy(Emma Stone) and our villain in the form of The Lizard(Rhys Ifans).
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/slat.jpg
The last major role to fill is apparently J Jonah Jameson, and WhatsPlaying report that Webb has met with up to a dozen actors for the part. Two names they know are Sam Elliot(Ghost Rider, Hulk) and John Slattery(Mad Men, Iron Man 2). Both have CBM experience and would seem like good fits for the part. Although I think many fans will find JK Simmons' portrayal of Jameson in Sam Raimi's previous movies hard to beat.
Sally Field Joins Spider-Man
Just a couple hours ago, it was revealed that Martin Sheen was in final negotiations to join the cast of Columbia Pictures’ 3D Spider-Man reboot. Now HeatVision is reporting that Academy Award-winning actress Sally Field (Norma Rae, Places in the Heart, Forrest Gump, Mrs. Doubtfire) is also in talks to join the film, which is being directed by (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb. Sheen will play Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben, so it is likely that Field will play the role of Aunt May.
In the traditional Spider-Man story, Peter Parker is brought up by Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Parker is given superpowers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Uncle Ben’s murder during a robbery results in Parker’s new ambition to become a crimefighter. Widowed Aunt May is nurturing and supportive of Peter although, for most of the comic mythology, she has not known of his secret life as Spider-man.
Field will join a cast which so far includes Andrew Garfield (The Social Network, Never Let Me Go) as Parker, Emma Stone (Superbad, Easy A) as love interest Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as the movie’s villain, The Lizard, and Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now, The Departed, Catch Me If You Can) as Uncle Ben.
Its Official: MJ Will Not Feature In The Spider-Man Reboot
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/24888.jpg
We thought Emma Stone (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=24888#) might be MJ, then we heard there would be two female leads, then that MJ would only have a small part etc etc. Well it now looks like our favourite smokin hot red head will not feature in Marc Webb's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=24888#) movie..at all.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/mj3%20copy.jpgThis thing has being going back and forth ever since the reboot was announced. It was assumed that Mary Jane would be a part of the story. But then news broke that director Marc Webb was actually on the look out for 2 female leads, surely MJ and Gwen Stacy? Then that was narrowed down to one, and Emma Stone looked likely to nab the role everyone assumed was that of MJ since, despite being naturally blond, Stone has donned the red locks in most of her other roles. Well as we know, Stone will be Gwen Stacy. And we now know courtesy of The Wrap, Miss Mary Jane Watson will not be appearing at all..
..an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap that Mary Jane Watson will not appear in the film after all, as the character is not currently featured in James Vanderbilt's screenplay, and apparently never was.
Even so, word is that the original idea was to have a love triangle (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=24888#) between MJ, Stacy and Parker but this idea was dropped. There was also talk of Stone playing MJ(which is evidently where all of the 2 female leads talk sprang from), but when she won the part of Stacy instead they decided to stick with one lady to get Parker's Spidey sense a tingling. I'm sure many will see this as a good thing. There is no need to over complicate the plot with this first movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=24888#), and there is plenty of time to bring MJ in later on. Provided they don't reboot this franchise before a sequel comes out of course..
Zooey Deschanel To Play Betty Brant In Spider-Man?
Apparently, Marc Webb has big plans for J. Jonah Jameson's secretary at The Daily Bugle and wants to reteam with (500) Days of Summer star Zooey Deschanel in the role...
The character (played by Elizabeth Banks) didnt really have too much screentime in the last three movies, but according to Showbiz Spy, a "movie insider" has told them that she'll have a much larger role and that Marc Webb already has an actress in mind for who should play her!
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/bett2.jpg
"Betty was a minor character in the previous Spidey movies but Marc has big plans for her. He wants a strong performer to carry the role and Zooey fits the bill perfectly. The role is hers if she wants it."It's worth remembering that Betty Brant was Peter Parker's first love interest for a little while back in the 1960's, so could that be the big plans that Marc Webb has for the actress? Although I'm hoping to see Gwen in that role, Deschanel is a fantastic actress and seems like a great choice, so here's hoping it works out!
Oh, and in a slightly pointless bit of trivia for you, Zooey's sister (Emily, star of TV series Bones) was actually in Spider-Man 2 as the receptionist Peter delivers pizzas to at the start of the movie. You learn something new every day, huh? :)
Denis Leary Joins the Cast of ‘Spider-Man’ (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/)
(http://www.slashfilm.com/author/russ-fischer/)
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/denis-leary.jpg
The latest small casting move on Marc Webb‘s Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) reboot is the addition of Denis Leary, who is now negotiating to play the father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). It’s only a small casting move in the sense that the role might not be a very large one; regardless, Mr. Leary would be a welcome addition to the cast.
The idea that he might not see much screen time is a guess — we don’t actually know, and his part could be more significant than expected. His character, George Stacy, was a one-time NYPD Captain, and he had a small but notable supporting role in the main Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) comics continuity at one time. (Only read this Marvel Wiki (http://marvel.wikia.com/George_Stacy_%28Earth-616%29) background if you’re not averse to possible spoilers for the movie.) Elements of his comic story will have to be changed to fit this film (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/#) — in the comics he played into a Doctor Octopus story, and as far as we know Doc Ock isn’t in the movie — but the character can fill more or less the same role with a different antagonist.
He joins a lineup that includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) (well, a couple stuntmen and many computers (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/#) will also be Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/)) and then Rhys Ifans as the Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, presumably Sally Field as Aunt May.
THR (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/denis-leary-join-spider-man-46702) notes that this is the first live-action movie role for Denis Leary (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/#) since 2002; shortly after that he started his well-regarded stint as the core cast member of Rescue Me. He’s done voice work in the Ice Age movies (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/#), but it will be very nice to see him back on the big screen in the flesh.
Chris Zylka Cast as Flash Thompson in ‘Spider-Man’? (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/)
(http://www.slashfilm.com/author/admin/)
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/flashthompsoncasting.jpg
Actor Chris Zylka (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/chris-zylka/) responded to a tweet (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/#) from a hometown friend congratulating him on being cast in Marc Webb‘s Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) reboot. I know that sounds a bit speculative, but ComicBookMovie (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MCUsNewsStorys/news/?a=25458) claims to have learbed that Zylka has been cast as Eugene Thompson in the upcoming 3D feature film (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/#).
Eugene is better known to comic book fans as Flash Thompson, a character created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, first appearing in Amazing Fantasy #15 published in August 1962. According to wikipedia, the character is “a star high school football player (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/#) and classmate of Peter Parker (secretly the superhero Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/)) who mercilessly bullies “Puny Parker.” On the other hand, Flash greatly admires Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/), an irony in which Parker takes some gratification. After graduation, Flash joins the United States Army and is haunted by his combat experiences, leading to alcoholism. Later on in the series, Flash and Peter become friends.”
If true, Zylka joins a cast which includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) (well, a couple stuntmen and many computers (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/#) will also be Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/)) and then Rhys Ifans as the Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, presumably Sally Field as Aunt May, and Denis Leary as the father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone).
Zylka has had roles in Hannah Montana, Everybody Hates Chris, Cougar Town, 10 Things I Hate About You the television (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/#) series, the made for television movie My Super Psycho Sweet 16 and the Gregg Araki movie Kaboom
Emma Stone Talks About Playing Gwen Stacy In Spider-Man!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/25602.jpg
The actress talks about how she's preparing for the role, going back to being blonde, what we can expect to see from Gwen in the movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=25602#), keeping the fans happy and much more...
http://i53.tinypic.com/2zdshu9.jpg (http://tinypic.com/?ref=2zdshu9)
On Getting The Role Of Gwen Stacy In The Upcoming Reboot:
"The way I have to approach it, and I think Andrew would agree, is just like any other movie. You're going to put the same amount of focus into this that you would with anything. It just happens to be an exponentially bigger budget. So there's that. It'll probably feel different when we start to do press, but we won't have to deal with that for another year and a half. And there are harnesses I'm going to have to use in this one. That's the only difference. Just the harnesses."On Going Back To Blonde To Play The Character:
"Today I went and did hair tests, because I have blonde hair now since Gwen has blonde hair. My natural hair is blonde, so it's kind of nice. I looked in the mirror and said, "Oh my god, it's me again, it's been so long!" We're finalizing the visual stuff. And I think we'll start actually rehearsing, because we start shooting in two weeks. Andrew and I went and learned about science yesterday. Gwen really likes science, so we learned about science. I was home-schooled, so I never went to chemistry class in a traditional setting like Gwen is into. That was really beneficial."On What We Can Expect To See From Gwen In The Movie:
There are a lot of changes happening on a day to day basis. There's a lot of open dialogue about where we're going with this and how Peter and Gwen are going to come together and what makes the most sense for the story we're telling. It's an ever-changing thing. We're still in that development period. It's so fantastic. My background is in improv and things like that, so this kind of ever-changing nature is ideal for me."On How She Plans To Keep The Fans Happy:
"There's a part of me that really wants to please people that love Spider-Man or Gwen Stacy and want her to be done justice. I hope they'll give me license to interpret her my way. But that fan base, I'm one of them, so I completely understand why they would be judgmental of certain things. I try not to look [at stories on the Internet] because I do care and I don't want to psych myself out. I kinda half to stay off the Internet. I'm not thick-skinned enough. I get too sensitive. I don't want it to effect what I'm doing."On The Kind Of Gwen Stacy She'll Be In The Movie:
" I wouldn't call Gwen a damsel in distress. But who know what's going to happen? It's so early."
‘Spider-Man’ Casting: Peter Parker’s Parents and A Second Villain (http://www.slashfilm.com/spiderman-casting-peter-parkers-parents-villain/)
[/URL]
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/spideycastingscott.jpg
[URL="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/spider-man-set-parents-villain-56039"]HeatVision (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/admin/) has learned that Campbell Scott (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/campbell-scott/) (Roger Dodger, The Spanish Prisoner) has signed on, and Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire, The Darjeeling Limited), Annie Parisse (Rubicon, National Treasure) and Julianne Nicholson (Kinsey, Little Black Book) are in talks to join the cast of Marc Webb‘s 3D Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) reboot. Find out which character (http://www.slashfilm.com/spiderman-casting-peter-parkers-parents-villain/#) they will play, after the jump.
Scott and Nicholson will play Parker’s parents, Richard and Mary Parker, who leave their son an orphan. As you might recall, Parker’s uncle Ben and Aunt May become his parental guardians. Its not clear if they will appear in flashbacks or a prologue, but I wouldn’t expect them to have a big role in the film. We previously learned that Columbia Pictures (http://www.slashfilm.com/spiderman-casting-peter-parkers-parents-villain/#) were casting a young actor to play the boy-age Peter Parker, so one could assume the parents are to be used in those scenes (sequences).
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/ZZ38A4E25E.jpg
Khan will play Van Atter, joining the film as a second villain. Rhys Ifans (http://www.slashfilm.com/spiderman-casting-peter-parkers-parents-villain/#) has previously been cast as a villain named The Lizard. In the comics, Nels Van Adder was a former research assistant who volunteered to become a test subject for a chemical developed by Stromm and Norman Osborn. He becomes a villain named Proto-Goblin. According to Marvunapp (http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/progob.htm), the character “possesses enhanced strength and toughness, being barely affected by repeated gunshots. He had fangs, and clawed hands and feet.”
Parisse will play Van Atter’s wife.
They will join a cast which includes Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker and Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/) (well, a couple stuntmen and many computers (http://www.slashfilm.com/spiderman-casting-peter-parkers-parents-villain/#) will also be Spider-Man (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/spider-man/)) and then Rhys Ifans as the Lizard, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, presumably Sally Field as Aunt May, and Denis Leary as the father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). It has been rumored (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-zylka-cast-flash-thompson-spiderman/) that Chris Zylka has been cast as Eugene Thompson

Irfan Khan Speaks Briefly About His Character In Spider-Man
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/26117.jpg
Last week we learned that Khan would be playing a second villain in Marc Webb's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=26117#) reboot named Van Adder. That's all we had to go on. Click to see if Mr Khan can enlighted us..
He can't is the short answer! In fact he seems to know even less that we do. Although in this excerpt from his interview with The New York Times (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=26117#)(via Cinematical), he does reveal that he will be involved in at least some form of action shots for the film (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=26117#)..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/Irrfan_Khan-Proto_Goblin.jpg
NYT: In “Spider-Man” you’re playing a character not that many people have heard of. What can you tell us about Van Adder?
Khan: Is that his name? These science-fiction names don’t mean a lot to me. He’s a character who, I think, was not in the comics or perhaps a minor character. I’ve read some pages, but the whole script hasn’t been made available to me.
NYT: How did you get the role?
Khan: My manager told me that the director Marc Webb was approaching us. I spoke with him, and he sounded very engrossed, and I was interested. I’m expectant and really looking forward to it.
NYT: Have you had to do any training in preparation for the part? And what about being in 3-D?
Khan: You don’t do training for action. You’re waiting for action. You just strap yourself into a harness and go. Two dimensions, three dimensions — “Avatar” really made a difference in terms of 3-D, but beyond that I haven’t thought about it.Nels Van Adder is indeed a fairly minor character from Spidey lore. He was involved with Oscorp, and was a test subject of sorts for Norman Osbourne's serum which turned him into The Proto-Goblin. A demon like creature with fangs, claws, and impenetrable skin (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=26117#). Its obviously unclear if this is the route the character will be taken in Webb's movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=26117#), but since Van Adder is involved in some capacity, its a safe bet Oscorp..and indeed Norman Osbourne will be too.

And looking around, it seems everyone is dressed in black, and we also see a limo, police scattered, and weepy faces. One can only wonder whose funeral Gwen Stacy is attending. But could it be her father Captain George Stacy, player by Denis Leary? Check out the images below and what do you think?

The guy (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/spidermanfan/news/?a=26221#) next to Emma Stone (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/spidermanfan/news/?a=26221#) is Chris Zylka, who earlier reported via his twitter account that he'd be playing Flash Thompson.

Possible Pictures Of New York Streets Construction For Spider-Man!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/26459.jpg
Our friends (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26459#) over at On Location Vacations (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26459#) have gotten their hands on what an insider claims are plans and pictures of the New York streets being built for the untitles Spider-Man reboot...
Here are some excerpts from the report over at On Location Vacations, as well as the plans and photos of the set that is currently being constucted. It looks like they're putting together a lot of streets, so it's likely that they'll be used for a variety of scenes. Stay tuned for updates and hopefully more set pictures (including the cast) in the coming weeks and months!
Tonight we received an anonymous tip that there has been major reconstruction work going on since last month on the "New York Street" of one of L.A.’s biggest studios (presumably Sony Studios).
Our tipster also mentioned that the new facades were for the Untitled Spider-Man Reboot which just started shooting in Los Angeles last week.
Though we haven’t been able to confirm that the new set is definitely for the upcoming Spider-Man flick, the timing does make sense considering construction began in November and that most of the Spidey shoot is scheduled to take place in studio.http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/6z7ksp.jpg

New Spider-Man Reboot Filming Update!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/26826.jpg
In an excerpt from major films shooting in Los Angeles, Sony (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26826#) shares some insight on when, where, and how long filming will occur for the Spider-Man reboot. Check it out!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/Spidey%20back%20Head3.jpg
Two weeks into principal (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26826#) photography, Sony's Marc Webb-directed Spider-Man reboot is creating buzz filming in Los Angeles, providing some relief to a sector that has been battered by job losses. Excerpted from LA Times' Company Town, a few details regarding what the shoot will provide, how long, and where it will and has taken place, check out what was stated below.
Sony began its 90-day film shoot for “Spider-Man” film two weeks ago, mainly on the lot but also on location: including at the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood and Immanuel Presbyterian Church in mid-Wilshire. The film alone will employ nearly 1,000 crew members, including construction workers building sets for the production, which takes up seven stages on the Sony Pictures lot. While the production will include two weeks in New York (where the story is set), the bulk of filming will occur in Los Angeles on the Sony lot and various locations around town, from South Pasadena to San Pedro to Woodland Hills. Sony had ample incentive to select L.A. as its primary destination.
“This [is] the fourth Spider-Man production we have shot primarily in Los Angeles and for good reason," Sony Pictures Entertainment spokesman Steve Elzer said. “The crews here are the best in the world but there is a comfort level in producing a project of this size and scope on your own backlot.“
And Screamscape sources have confirmed that the reboot is preparing to shoot on the Universal Backlot next month, in which images (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26459) of the set construction appeared online last week, but no one was sure they were to be used for the Spider-Man shoot.

I've also received word anonymously that partial filming has will occur at St. John Bosco High school (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26826#) in Bellflower, California, where Sony supposedly donated $80,000 to the school (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26826#) for allowing 11 days of filming. My source says:
"This movie is being filmed in part of my school, there shooting some scenes in our gym, there is a going to be a basketball game in one of the scenes, the mascot for the school is Panthers."
Anyhow, starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and Rhys Ifans, Spider-Man swings back into theaters in 3D July 3, 2012.
Young 'Billy Connors' Actor for Spider-Man Revealed
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/26273.jpg
The actor to portray young Billy Conners, son of Dr. Curt Conners, the Lizard in the Marc Webb-directed Spider-Man Reboot is learned to be kid by the name of Miles Elliot. Check it Out!
With filming underway for Marc Webb's Spider-Man revision, most of the minor roles are being snagged, literally. Sources over SuperHeroHype has learned who'll portray the minor role of Billy Conners, son of Dr. Curt Conners, (Rhys Ifans) the lizard.
"Sources tells SuperHeroHype that young actor Miles Elliot has been cast as Billy Connors in Columbia Pictures' (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26273#) Spider-Man movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26273#)"
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/conners44.jpg
Elliot joins Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26273#), Julianne Nicholson (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=26273#), Irrfan Khan, Annie Parisse and Chris Zylka. And Spider-Man filming in Los Angeles, returns to theaters in 3D July 3, 2012.
Emma Stone Has Signed Up For More Than One Spider-Man Movie!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/26845.jpg
According to a recent report, and the actress herself, she's signed up for more than just the one movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26845#) in 2012 and also talks (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26845#) a little more about (not) working out with Andrew Garfield...
In a recent interview with Jay Leno, Monsters And Critics report that the young actress let slip that she'll be sticking with her natural blonde hair (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=26845#) for a while as she's signed up for more than just one movie as Gwen Stacy.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/EMMAS.png
"There’s a few Spider-Men, so I may have to keep it for a couple of years."The 22-year-old actress also told the chatshow host that she's started training sessions with the same trainer as Andrew Garfield (as I'm sure you know will be playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the upcoming reboot) but revealed that she refuses to work out with him in preparation for the upcoming 3D movie!
"The other day, after work, I was supposed to work out with our trainer and Andrew said 'Would it be ok if I worked out with you guys?' I was like 'No, that would not be ok'. He said 'Why? It’ll be a bonding experience'."
"I said 'Because you can lift a car and I am a weakling beyond belief'. We’re on two completely different ends of the spectrum."The untitled Spider-Man reboot is set to be released on July 3, 2012 in 3D and filming has just begun.

C. Thomas Howell cast in Spider-Man!
A new actor joins Marc Webb's Spider-Man! Check it out!
Italian website Badtaste.it reported that actor C. Thomas Howell is join new Spider-man's movie.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/26944/c_thomas_howell_x.jpg
C. Thomas Howell (The Hitcher, Hidalgo, Southland) has made the announcement through his facebook (http://comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/news/?a=27629#) (but he's profile is private...) and has written:
"I have just sign the deal for new Spider-Man's movie! I will start the work on January 25th [...]"
Garfield Shows Off His Spider-Man Muscles!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/27749.jpg
More information from Details magazine has found its way online, including a picture of Garfieldhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/DenofL5/news/?a=27749#) with some pretty impressive muscles!
Further to what I posted earlier, a new image of Andrew Garfield has appeared - and he looks very much in shape!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/7815/Garf.jpg
He also had this to say:
"I want to feel stronger than I've ever felt, and I want to feel more flexible than I've ever felt. I want to feel powerful. You don't want to just be a pack of meat — it has to be an open body. It does something to your psyche, and it does something to the way you move."
"I realized immediately how much hard work it was going to be, and how much of a minefield it was going to be in terms of all the s*** that comes with it. Stuff that I would like to not have any part of. I mean visibility and being recognized walking down the street. I'm holding out a naïve and ignorant hope that won't happen."
C. Thomas Howell’s ‘Spider-Man’ Role Revealed? (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howells-spiderman-role-revealed/)
[/URL]
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/CThomasHowellSpiderman.jpg
Unlike he did in the Eighties, C. Thomas Howell will not be fighting Russians, Socs or racial stereotypes in Marc Webb‘s Spider-Man reboot. [URL="http://www.slashfilm.com/comic-book-movie-bits-thomas-howell-stan-lee-spiderman-cosmic-cube-captain-america/"]We recently reported (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/germain-lussier/) that he’d been cast in the film, starring Andrew Garfield (http://www.slashfilm.com/tag/andrew-garfield/) and Emma Stone, but were unsure who he might be playing. Entertainment Weekly has now revealed that the character’s name is “Ray” and while that doesn’t scream “Spider-Man” like the names Norman, Cletus, Otto or Eddie might, it still makes sense in a roundabout kind of way. We connect the dots after the jump.
In the Entertainment Weekly (http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/01/10/spider-man-c-thomas-howell/) story, besides sourcing us (thank you very much), they say this about the role of “Ray.”
The name does not immediately ring any bells in Spider-Man lore, other than possibly Ray Cooper, the supposedly deceased father of Spidey’s current comic book girlfriend Carlie.
According to the guys at Comic Book Movie (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=27714&t=Andrew_Garfield_On_Emma_Stone_C_Thomas_Howells_R ole_Revealed), in the comics it was recently revealed that Ray Cooper worked with Captain George Stacy, Gwen Stacey’s father, a character we know is in this movie because Denis Leary has already be cast as him (http://www.slashfilm.com/denis-leary-joins-cast-spiderman/). On the Marvel Wiki, they refer to Ray Cooper “a respected New York detective (http://marvel.com/universe/Cooper,_Carlie)” and George Stacy was also a well-respected (http://marvel.com/universe/Stacy,_George) New York Police Officer. So the connection would be that Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) is one of the stars of the movie and her father George is friends/colleagues with Ray Cooper. The next logical link would be that Ray’s daughter, Carlie Cooper, could possibly be in it setting up a future love interest for young Mr. Parker. Supposedly, it was also recently revealed that Gwen and Carlie were friends growing up.
Seems pretty plausible to me, however, it would mean that Howell’s role is probably pretty small. What do you think? Does this all make sense? Are any of you Spidey fans out there knowledgeable about Ray Cooper?

Spider-Man Has Web Shooters?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/27908.jpg
Thanks to the folks over at COLLIDER, we now have a far better view of what many of us thought were web shooters on the wrists of the first image of Andrew Garfield in the upcoming Spider-Man.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HGHxpUhDKRs/SSxM98fe_hI/AAAAAAAAB8U/a3RCt6mubLA/s1600/Spider-man_webshooters.jpg
Looking at the photo below it sure seems pretty clear that Spidey will be sporting his patented mechanical web shooters in the upcoming Marc Webb directed Spider Man film. While many in the past have complained about Raimi's "organic" web shooters, many have already expressed their disdain for the original version saying that it's not very believable that a teenager could concoct them in his basement.
What do you think?

Five Key Changes In Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man Costume (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/01/13/andrew-garfield-spider-man-costume-2/)
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/281x21116.jpgThe first image of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man (http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/01/13/andrew-garfield-spider-man-2/) was released today, and the online world is buzzing about what it could mean for the upcoming reboot of the blockbuster film franchise.
While there are certainly a lot of questions to be asked about Peter Parker's bloodied and bruised condition in the photo, the image also reveals some interesting changes made to Spider-Man's iconic costume. The lean and lanky Garfield casts a very different shadow as Spidey than the franchise's former star, Tobey Maguire, and given what we can tell from the photo, the familiar red-and-blue costume seems to have undergone a reboot of sorts, too.
After staring intently at the photo without blinking for the last few hours, I've come up with five notable changes in Spider-Man's costume gleaned from the new image.
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/webshooters.jpg
1. The WEB-SHOOTERS
See those metal discs on Peter Parker's wrists? If they're mechanical web-shooters, the new franchise could be planning a major reboot of the character's history, as longtime fans know that Peter Parker's web-shooting ability originally stemmed from a pair of mechanical bracelet-like contraptions that he wore under his gloves. In the comics universe, the "webs" he shot were composed of a chemical he invented, and not a product of the radioactive spider-bite that gave him his other powers. Recent storylines in Spidey's comics universe have gone back and forth on the "organic vs. mechanical webbing" debate, with the prior movie franchise going full organic for this plot point.
Could the new films be veering back to mechanical web-shooters, or are the discs just a new element that facilitates Spidey's organic web-shooting abilities?
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/symbol.jpg
2. THE SYMBOL
Every iteration of Spider-Man's costume in the comic book, television, and movie worlds have always added their own unique tweak to the spider symbol on Peter Parker's chest. Sometimes it's been a wide, shoulder-to-shoulder look, other times it's been reduced to a small badge centered on the character's chest. In some cases, the symbol has stretched vertically from Peter's shoulders to his waist — which appears to be the direction they're going with this new costume.
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gloves.jpg
3. THE GLOVES
Given his web-shooting requirements, Spider-Man's gloves have always been an important part of the costume. In this new iteration of the iconic red-and-blues, we not only get some silver, possibly web-shootery discs, but we also get a gauntlet that wraps around Spidey's upper forearm. I'm not sure what to think about the spiral style of the new gloves, but it definitely puts a new spin (sorry, I couldn't help it) on the old favorite.
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/profile.jpg
4. THE PROFILE
I mentioned earlier that the new spider symbol on the costume accentuates the leaner, lankier actor underneath it, but that isn't the only element of the costume that seems designed to reinvent our impression of the ol' web-head. The new costume seems to give significantly more space to the slimming blue sections of the rib area and pants, and offers a narrower red vertical on the chest than we've seen on most of Spidey's movie costumes — or many of his animated incarnations, for that matter.
The new costume also seems to have eliminated the horizontal, red "belt" portion of the uniform, which only adds to the aforementioned slimming effect. This version of Peter Parker is bringing the skinny back, it seems.
http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/material.jpg
5. THE MATERIAL
While past iterations of Spider-Man's costume seemed to opt for a more spandex look (with occasional ribbing on the webs), this new costume seems to be composed of a more mesh-like material. The webs no longer seemed to be glued on after the fact, and instead seem to be a part of the same material that makes up the rest of the costume. It's a small change, but a noticeable one. Here's hoping we get some explanation of where he got the costume this time around!
And there you have it, folks — five changes I noticed in Andrew Garfield's new Spider-Man costume. I'm sure there are some I missed, so go ahead and chime in below with your own observations!

Hit the jump to get your first look at Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy on the set of the highly anticipated 3D reboot of the Spider-Man franchise...
Thanks to "Blader5489" over on the SHH Forums, we have our first look at Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy on the set of the Marc Webb helmed reboot which has still not revealed its official title despite a picture (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=27973#) of Andrew Garfield in the suit being released yesterday.

No J. Jonah Jameson for Spider-Man Reboot?
According to recent reports, it seems Peter Parker won't be growled at by The Daily Bugle's J. Jonah Jameson in the new Spider-Man reboot. Check it Out!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/2011%20Spidey%20Banner%20by%20Marvel-Freshman.png
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/briksdnbfvlkenflsjdfklijdfbg.jpg
According to IGN, J. Jonah Jameson, editor-in-chief of The Daily Bugle also featured in the previous trilogy, will not be making an appearance in Sony's Marc Webb-directed Spider-Man reboot.
"We found out from very reliable sources that...J. Jonah Jameson won't be in the movie. That's right, Spidey fans. We've confirmed that no one will be growling "Parker!" in this 3D reboot. So much for those rumors about John Slattery or Sam Elliott playing him."
The site makes mention that this scoop doesn't knock off 'The Daily Bugle' appearing in the film, as recent set images contradicts that. Though the character is apart of Spidey's history, portrayed favorably by actor J.K. Simmons in Sam Raimi's trilogy, I sort of don't want them to try and reinvent that spark. If true, what do you think?
Anyhow, Spider-Man continues it's 90-day film shoot, swinging back into theaters July 3, in 3D.

UPDATE: Clear View Of New Spider-Man Costume, Mask And Web Shooters!
Hit the jump for a very close up look at the new mask design (including the eyes!) the webshooters on his wrists and the redesigned suit as a whole. UPDATE: We now have an even better view of the suit, confirming that he does in fact have no belt...
Sorry about the text all over the following images (it's not my doing!) but Perez Hilton has come across these fantastic shots of the brand new Spider-Man suit. As you can see, we get a very good look at the eyes on the mask as well as the web shooters and redesigned red and blue patterns on the costume itself.

EDITORIAL: Is The New Spider-Man Costume Just His Wrestling Outfit?
A few scans from a recent Spider-Man comic book series have surfaced which might lead us to believe that the costume seen in the recent images might just be the suit he starts his wrestling (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=28581#) career in! Hit the jump for my thoughts and what I believe supports this theory...
Back in 2008, a five issue series called Spider-Man: With Great Power by David Lapham and Tony Harris was released by Marvel, telling the story of what happenned between the time of the accident that gave Peter Parker superhuman powers and the murder of his Uncle Ben. The series was published under Marvel's Marvel Knights imprint in order to avoid any links to current continuity.
Well, I for one never actually bothered picking this up. However, thanks to some eagle eyed users on the SuperHeroHype Forums and a tip-off from my friend from SpiderMedia, RealIrOnMaN, we have this scan from the series.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/spidersuit.jpg
As you can see, apart from the spider symbol and eyes, this is almost identical to the suit we've seen in all those recent pictures. (both the official one and the various photos taken during filming) Everything from him having no belt, to the the stripe down the leg is clearly based on this design. This of course leaves us with a few options.
Marc Webb could have spotted this design and just decided he liked it and that it would be a great choice for the reboot, clearly distinguishing his movie from the last three. This is possibly the most likely theory. The reaction to this suit however has been almost unanimously negative from comic book fans, and surely both Sony and Webb realised such a drastic redesign would result in this? I for one happen to think the suit looks ok. I don't understand why they've changed it, but it's not a drastic enough change to have me completely dead againtst it...yet. Oh, and it might also be worth noting that the official image we saw might not be from the end of the movie after his big fight with the Lizard as many have speculated. What if it's really this?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/amazing-fantasy-15-570x346.jpg
Pretty similar to that official picture above, huh? We have no idea how much of this movie will focus on Peter's origin story. With recent rumours stating that J. Jonah Jameson wont feature, maybe this is due to Spider-Man's public debut not being until right at the end of the movie? Perhaps even more time than in the first film will focus on his early days with his newfound powers. After all, they've cast a big name actor like Martin Sheen for Uncle Ben...surely he'll have more than just a few minutes screentime? While many fans think that another origin story is not needed (and they're right in many ways) it's worth remembering that by the time this untitled reboot is released, it will have been over ten years since Raimi's first. THIS movie might be the first dose of Spider-Man for a whole new generation. Check out the following two pictures to see him experimenting with his powers in the wrestling suit and the stages it goes through during his wrestling career. Just how much of this is Marc Webb using as an influence?
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/40669402.jpg
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/67874678.jpg
The fact that Peter is running from the police in those recent set pictures/videos also adds to the possibility that this may not be the final suit. He could be leaving the scene after catching his Uncle's killer. Yes, we can see webshooters, but they're pretty in-your-face and obvious looking unlike the comic book version, so perhaps he's run out of web fluid? Hence the need for a belt in the next design! Maybe this is wishful thinking on the part of a slightly disgruntled fan. Perhaps we'll see the original 616 costume as one of Spider-Man's wrestling outfits...a cameo in the same respect as how the original Captain America costume has been turned into a USO suit in his upcoming movie. I'm really not sure. Wouldnt it be something to see him in this suit throughout the movie, with the last few seconds featuring him in the classic 616 version? I do however think there is a real possibility that what we've seen is NOT the final costume. Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
More Pictures Of The Suit From The Set Of The Spider-Man Reboot!
More shots of the suit have been released online, taken at the same time as the last batch, but giving us an even better look at the full costume and Spider-Man (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=28710#) in action...
A couple of noteworthy things here. Firstly, you'll notice our first half decent look at the spider symbol on the back of the costume. Secondly, it's easy to see in the second photo that the lenses in the mask are actually clear, despite having a seemingly silver appearence in other recent photos. Could this be another new feature, for the benefit of the stuntman or because it's actually the wrestling (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=28710#) suit as I talked about in my recent editorial: Is The New Spider-Man Costume Just His Wrestling Outfit? (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=28581). Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

Check Out Spider-Man Web Swinging Through Traffic In New Set Pictures!
Hit the jump for our first look at Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man swinging through the streets of New York City (well, Los Angeles!) and tackling a robber while being pursued by the police...
Here is an excerpt from a report over at On Location Vacations as well as a selection of pictures. For more, be sure to follow the link to their site at the bottom of this page.
Last night, the Spider-Man Reboot returned to S. Grand Ave in Los Angeles to shoot another stunt scene.
During last night’s shoot both Andrew Garfield (who plays Spider-Man) and a stuntman were on location taking turns filming a scene in which Spidey swings over the "New York City" traffic. In the photo above Andrew is climbing the ladder to for a shot on top of the truck while the stuntman can be seen standing next to him in the black jacket.
The currently untitled Spider-Man reboot is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

Even More Spider-Man Set Images Revealed With Andrew Garfield Spotted!
Even more set images from Marc Webb's (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=29362#) Spider-Man reboot have been captured from last night's filming in LA, now also with the star Andrew Garfield (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=29362#) spotted on the set. Check it out!
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10616/2011%20Spidey%20Banner%20by%20Marvel-Freshman.png
In continuation with images (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=29358) posted earlier today, the Daily Mail have now added their slew of set images from last night's filming for Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. While it's most likely a stunt double, the site believes the star Andrew Garfield (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=29362#), who was spotted on set as well, may have donned the suit for the action (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=29362#) sequence.
"While the Spidey suit concealed his true identity on set, a quick glance at his eyes and eyebrows suggested that it was indeed the actor in the costume. Andrew did seem to take part in some of the action, going through moves at one point with what looked like a crew member. And the person attempting the most complex stunt - in which the person in the costume lifted themselves on their hands and hurled their legs into the air - had their back to the camera, so it remains unclear whether Andrew tried that one himself."

More Action Packed Images From The Set Of The Spider-Man Reboot!
Check out the full stunt frame by frame of Spider-Man taking out the burglar, as well as a few more shots of the two Spidey's and Andrew Garfield in costume...
The Spider Man Reboot films a scene involving a car burglar and two Spider-Man's which both appear on camera. In the scene, Andrew Garfield in character as Spider-Man is hiding in the back seat of a car that a car burglar attempts to steal. The spooked thief exits the car to escape but is taken down by a second Spider-Man as Spider-Man number one (Garfield) watches the action through the backseat window. Both Spider man's were also seen rehearsing a stunt together while covered in trench coats.

Proto-Goblin Won’t Appear In ‘Spider-Man’ (http://www.slashfilm.com/protogoblin-spiderman-reboot/)

When it was announced that Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire, The Darjeeling Limited) had signed on to join the cast of Marc Webb‘s 3D Spider-Man reboot, we were told that Khan would play a second villain, a character named Van Atter. Fans of the comic books know that Nels Van Adder was a former research assistant who volunteered to become a test subject for a chemical developed by Stromm and Norman Osborn, which resulted in him transforming into a villain named Proto-Goblin. But don’t expect to see that comic book storyline play out in the [URL="http://www.slashfilm.com/protogoblin-spiderman-reboot/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+slashfilm+%28%2FFilm%29&utm_content=FaceBook#"]upcoming movie (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/admin/) reboot.
The Indian Express (http://www.indianexpress.com/news/global-desi/746706/1) (via CBM (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=29528&t=Looks_Irrfan_Khan_Will_NOT_Be_Playing_Proto-Goblin_In_iSpider-Mani_Reboot)) reports the following:
While he is looking forward to Spiderman (http://www.slashfilm.com/protogoblin-spiderman-reboot/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+slashfilm+%28%2FFilm%29&utm_content=FaceBook#), the 48-year-old confesses, that initially he wasn’t keen on the project. “I didn’t want to be part of this violent American fantasy. But both my sons were excited and kept insisting that I take it up.” But the intricacy and freshness of the script finally won. Even then, Irrfan placed one condition before Webber — he didn’t want to be a masked villain or become another creature.
C Thomas Howell Talks Spider-Man
Despite Howell's role in the reboot apparently being leaked as "Ray"(Ray Cooper?), the actor is still keeping schtum. He does suggest that he will be an important factor in the story though..
In an interview with The Dallas-Forth Worth Tribune Howell spoke about the experience of pulling double duty, shooting not only Spider-Man, but his TV series Southland. Going back and forth between the two.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/C.%20Thomas%20Howell-SGS-010166.jpg
"Southland has been real accommodating. This week will be the end of shooting for the 10 episodes this season, and I'll go back to 'Spider-Man' after that."
Recently Howell's reps indicated that he would be playing a character (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=29688#) named Ray, and jumped to Ray Cooper(the father of one of Parker's comic girlfriend (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=29688#) Carlie)but Howell is still not giving anything away, only hinting that his character might be more important to the story than we thought..
"I had to sign, basically, a bible about not expressing anything, not talking about details. It's understandable they want to keep things secret. There's so much money in it."
"It's so hard keeping the iPhone out of my pocket on the set, when I want to take photos left and right. The other night, we were on the back lot of Universal, and they had it dressed up to be downtown New York, with steam coming up out of the ground and cabs crowding the street. You'd never have guessed you weren't in New York City. I felt like a kid in the ultimate playground."
Howell can say that his is "not a major role, but it is a poignant, important role."

Intriguing Details About Amazing Spider-Man Scenes Being Filmed Tonight!
A brief bullet point of information about scenes being filmed for the upcoming reboot point at a scene involving the Lizard, Peter and Gwen! Hit the jump for the details...
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/LIZardo.jpg
The guys over at On Location Vacations have posted their regular update of filming information for today, but what caught my eye was the following details about upcoming reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man!
Filming in Los Angeles, CA:
•The Amazing Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=30728#) is filming at Sony (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=30728#) Studios. FYI: Scene is set at High School, includes Lizard, Peter & Gwen.
Previous set photos featuring Captain George Stacy landing at the school in a helicopter have led us to believe that something serious goes down at the high school, but the above info pretty much confirms the fact that it's as Lizard related as we suspected! What's also interesting is that they mention the scenes feature "Peter" rather than Spider-Man. What do you think all this adds up to? What might they be filming? Be sure to speculate in the usual place!
Starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stonehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=30728#) and Rhys Ifans, director Marc Webbhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=30728#) helms The Amazing Spider-Man which is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

The Amazing Spider-Man Set Photo Reveals New Take On Peter Parker's High School!
We all know that The Amazing Spider-Man will take Andrew Garfield'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=31290#) Peter Parker back to high school, but it looks like Sony have decided to alter exactly what sort of school it is from the comic books...
Well, there are two ways you can take the following set picture. Either they've decided to change the name of Peter Parker's high school for the sake of it, or he'll be attending a different sort of institution, which might explain how he comes across Curt Connors and his Lizard experiment! Whether this is just a superficial change to make that more believable or has something to do with showing off Spidey'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=31290#) intellect (looks like he'll be creating some web shooters after all) we don't know, but be sure to share your thoughts below!

C. Thomas Howell Dishes On ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/)
[/URL]
http://bitcast-a-sm.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/wp/wp-content/images/CThomasHowellSpiderman.jpg
Actors today, especially ones in huge tentpole [URL="http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/#"]movies (http://www.slashfilm.com/author/germain-lussier/), have to be incredibly careful about everything they say at all times. One inopportune slip of the tongue could snowball into a full on revelation when you were just idly chatting.
The latest example of this is C. Thomas Howell, who we know will have a small role (http://www.slashfilm.com/comic-book-movie-bits-thomas-howell-stan-lee-spiderman-cosmic-cube-captain-america/) in The Amazing Spider-Man directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. Speaking on the Retro Radio Podcast, Howell said that “Sony (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/#) wants us to be hush-hush right now” but then not only confirmed what we already assumed – that The Lizard is the movie’s villain – but revealed a major crux of the movie and one of the action scenes. Oops. This is certainly spoiler filled so be forewarned. Read his quotes, and hear them for yourself, after the jump.
Howell was on the Retro Radio Podcast (http://theretroradiolive.com/), hosted by Marilyn Ghigliotti (better known as Dante’s girlfriend from Clerks) and Eric Nyenhuis, radio host and MMA, which also plays on Sirius XM Radio. You can listen to the full podcast (http://liveretroradio.podomatic.com/player/web/2011-03-17T20_18_54-07_00) below or just read the quote in question as transcribed by Movie (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/#) Web.
Thanks to Movie Web (http://www.movieweb.com/news/c-thomas-howell-confirms-the-lizard-for-the-amazing-spider-man) for this quote. INCLUDES SPOILERS:
There is not a whole lot to talk about. Sonyhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/#) wants us to be hush-hush right now. I play a relatively small role. I play a construction worker who’s son is caught in the middle of a battle between the Lizard and Spider-Man on the Manhattan bridge. Spider-Man helps me get my son back from this perilous situation. There is some payback there at the end of the movie. Spider-man is kind of hurting. I help him when all of the other people won’t. Part of the story is, the nation thinks he might be a bad guy. They don’t know what to think. Because of my experience on the bridge with my kid, I know he is a good guy. I pitch in and help out at the end. That is the best way.
We had thought that Howell’s character (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howells-spiderman-role-revealed) was Ray Cooper, police officer friend of Gwen Stacy’s father George Stacy (Denis Leary) but if this character is a construction worker, that doesn’t seem to be the case (unless they just changed his profession). Also, Webb’s film apparently has not only a similar action scene on a bridge but a similar subplot as the first Sam Raimihttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.slashfilm.com/thomas-howell-dishes-amazing-spiderman/#) Spider-Man, with most people unsure of Spidey’s loyalties. Which is weird if he’s fighting a huge green lizard on a bridge.
Howell is probably going to hear it from Sony for revealing these minor details but we certainly thank him for it. What do you think about how not only his role but and how close the film sounds to the original Raimi Spider-Man?
Could Mary Jane Watson Appear In The Amazing Spider-Man?
It looks like there is a casting call regarding a potential role in the upcoming Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, specifically a red-headed teenage girl, which could be Mary Jane Watson. More after the jump!
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/28006L.pngWhile the The Amazing Spider-Man is currently filming, there is a casting call for a female role in Marc Webb's upcoming reboot. We know that Emma Stone will play the lead role as Gwen Stacy but could Mary Jane Watson appear in the film also? SuperHeroHype has more info:
"SuperHeroHype has learned that a casting call has gone out for that very part under the film's secret title, "Fiona's Tale." The exact description calls for an, "actress to portray beautiful red-headed teenage girl for featured background...(18+ only)". Interested candidates are encouraged to apply at FTextras@gmail.com ."
So, what do you think? Could we see Mary Jane as a suporting character, and maybe they are setting everything up for future installments? Share your thoughts below.
Starring Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans, Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Irrfan Khan and Sally Field, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to hit theatres on July 3, 2012.

"[Garfield] is so much fun, He's the coolest, the best. He's going to be amazing. I mean, he has to be—after all, it is called The Amazing Spider-Man."
The site further reports the actress "sweetly" reiterating she had to keep quiet when questioned of potential sequels, as well the fate of her character.

Oscorp Logo Revealed On The Set Of The Amazing Spider-Man!
Hit the jump for your first look at a sign which confirms the presence of Oscorp in the upcoming movie and speculation that this may mean they're filming the origin scenes...
Many thanks to Twitter's @lorengejuice for the following.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/fda2b972074b44d1a4a39a6c3bdd0660_7.jpg
And if you require any further proof that this is indeed related to The Amazing Spider-Man here is a Tweet from our friends over at On Location Vacations which confirms both that and its location.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/oloocaa.png
Anyone else think that this and the fact that Andrew Garfield was spotted in a pair of glasses might mean this is in relation to the origin scenes? As some of you may already know, the Ultimate Spider-Man series featured Peter Parker getting his powers at the Oscorp facility. Whether this means we'll see Norman Osborn in the upcoming movie is still unknown.
With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!
Does Peter Parker Work At Oscorp In The Amazing Spider-Man?
A new set photo reveals that Peter Parker may possibly be doing an internship at Oscorp in the upcoming movie, leading us to wonder whether that's where he either gains his powers or meets Curt Connors...
As you can clearly see if you take a close look at the badge Andrew Garfield is wearing, it reads: "INTERN".
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/018.jpg
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/interns.jpg
While we know that they were filming exterior scenes of Oscorp yesterday, it's unclear whether these were supposed to be taking place inside of the company which comic book fans will know is owned by the villainous Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. It has previously been revealed that Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy will attend some sort of scientific high school in the upcoming movie, leading many to believe that that is where the young hero meets Curt Connors.
The question that this brings up is whether Connors (who later becomes the Lizard) is actually working at Oscorp, or that the glasses indicate this is a pre-spider bite Peter who actually gets his powers while doing an internship there! Well, that's my take on it anyway! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.

Possible Logo For The Amazing Spider-Man; Further Proof Peter Parker Works At Oscorp!
Hit the jump to take a look at what might just be the official spider logo for the upcoming reboot as well as pretty much concrete proof that Peter Parker will indeed be an intern at Oscorp in the movie...
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/8894c.jpg
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/8894d.jpg
Remember that picture of Peter Parker I posted earlier which featured him wearing a badge saying, "INTERN"? (if not, you can find it HERE (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=36307%3Cbr%20/%3E)) Well, as you can see from the following image, the logo spotted on the badge in that blurry shot does indeed match that of Oscorp. This brings us back to the question of whether this is where he gains his powers or meets Curt Connors. Perhaps it's both! Be sure to share your thoughts below.

The Amazing Spider-Man Set Photo Shows ANOTHER Funeral Being Filmed!
It turns out that they're shooting another funeral scene for The Amazing Spider-Man and we have the first set photo! Hit the jump to check it out...
MarketSaw have been sent a set photo from The Amazing Spider-Man featuring the filming of yet another funeral scene. We've already caught a glimpse of one being shot last year (with Gwen Stacy and Flash Thopmson in attendence) but it's believed that this is in fact for a different part of the movie. While it's obvious that one of them is more than likely for Uncle Ben, it's unknown who the other victim might be. Captain George Stacy? Curt Connors? Someone else entirely?

So, in the upcoming reboot, Peter Parker will be a skateboarder. Wait, what? Hit the jump for the latest batch of intriguing set photos featuring British actor, Andrew Garfield...
While the glasses that Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker is wearing in the following set photo may lead us to believe that this is him before gaining his spider powers, it certainly seems as if he'll be a little more trendy than the nerdy comic book counterpart introduced by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko!

Is This Our First Glimpse Of Rhys Ifans' Transformation Into The Lizard?
Covered from head to toe in order not to reveal his identity, it would appear that The Amazing Spider-Man actor has been spotted in an image which shows the first practical make-up effects of his transformation into the Lizard...
Pink is the New Blog have posted the following image which they claim is Welsh actor Rhys Ifans. While there's obviously no way of knowing for sure, it's clear that there are some sort of scaly green make-up effects around the eyes of the actor covered from head to toe in order to shield their appearence. This brings us the question of whether Curt Connors transformation is one that takes place slowly or possibly that these are the live action effects used before the switch to CGI.

New set images have arrived from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man to go along with the multiple web swinging ones we have seen already. These ones feature Spidey doing a jump and roll in to a pose as well as features star Andrew Garfield on set in a covered up Spider-Man costume.

Said Garfield about playing Spider-Man:
"I have been waiting for this phone call for 24 years, for someone to call me up and say, 'Hey, we want you to pretend to be a character that you’ve always wanted to be all your life, and we’re going to do it with cool cameras and cool effects and you’re going to feel like you’re swinging through New York City. Do you want to do that?' 'Let me just consult with my seven-year old self and see what he thinks! Like every young boy who feels stronger on the inside than they look on the outside, any skinny boy basically who wishes their muscles matched their sense of injustice - God, it’s just the stuff that dreams are made of, for sure. It’s a true honor to be part of this symbol that I actually think is a very important symbol and it’s meant a great deal to me, and it continues to mean something to people."
Star of 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' Andrew Garfield is sick and tired of stuntmen garnering all of the attention when it comes to set photos. Yesterday, one of them was caught perfecting their web-slinging skills (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/-spider-man-web-slinging-gets-fancy-in-new-set-photos-13469). Not to be one-upped any further, Garfield has been caught today in costume practicing his Spider-Man posing. There's also one of him with pants and a hoodie on covering the costume. He's still in mask, however. That's probably Spider-Man's casual attire when he's picking up a pizza or something.
Joining Garfield in 'The Amazing Spider-Man' are Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors, Irrfan Khan as Nels Van Adder, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, Martin Sheen as Ben Parker, and Sally Field as May Parker. From director, Marc Webb, the film hits theaters on July 3, 2012. As usual, a few select photos are below.

I was just reminded of the fact that Dr. Curt Conners has only one arm, therefore the green glove-like covering his arm is most likely to CGI his arm out. So, unfortunately theres no further tease of The Lizard.

Martin Sheen Reveals New Details About His Role As Uncle Ben In The Amazing Spider-Man!
The actor talks more about what role his version of Uncle Ben plays in Peter Parker's life, what he thought of Andrew Garfield as well as the filming of the scene where he gets shot and more...
Hey U Guys have posted the following excerpts from a roundtable interview with the actor and below are the relevent parts regarding The Amazing Spider-Man where Sheen reveals some new details about the relationship between Uncle Ben and his nephew as well as his thoughts on Andrew Garfield and the filming of the scene where Uncle Ben meets his make at the hands of an armed robber.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/uncleren.jpg
"I’m not in any of the scenes where he’s Spider-man. He’s still a little boy. He’s a teenager when it starts. I’m a surrogate father really, I’m his uncle. And so all of our scenes are just like you and I talking now. I’m dealing with this adolescent who is having problems with changes, with hormones changing and his getting out of hand. I have to give him the marching orders and so forth. It’s all very normal. And the guy playing him is wonderful..."
"He [Andrew Garfield] called me up and said he’d like to meet me and I said who are you and he said I’m playing your nephew. I said, you’re Spider-man! And we met for lunch and he was delightful. He just wanted to see who I was and whether I was open to changes, whether he could improvise with me. I was delighted and we had a wonderful time."
"I’ve never seen him in the uniform, I’ve never seen any of the stunts, any of the special effects, the green stuff. All my stuff is like normal acting and I don’t do anything with him otherwise. I’m dead in reel one y’know. I don’t do the end until I’m in New York. In April and May, that when I finish up with him. That’s where I get shot. There’s no special effects for me, that’s for the other characters."
If you'd like to read more about the actors other projects, follow the link below to head on over to the site. While any Spider-Man fan knows that Uncle Ben is killed before Peter becomes a costumed hero, I guess this pretty much confirms that we're going to see a full blown origin story. Of course, that really shouldn't be too much of a surprise considering that it will have been a decade since the release of the first Spider-Man movie by the time that this is released.
With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

More Scaly Lizard Effects Spotted On Rhys Ifans On Amazing Spider-Man Set!
Rhys Ifans has once again been spotted on the set of The Amazing Spider-Man, this time with some scaly effects on his neck, further hinting that his transformation into the Lizard will be a gradual one...
It's unclear whether the Welsh actor was on his way to have further make-up effects applied (possibly adding some green to what Mail Online point out are scales on his neck) but along with the recent images of Ifans with Lizard make-up applied around his eyes, it would appear that his transformation into the classic villain will take place throughout the film.

And then I’m also excited about — and this is kind of weird…Well, I guess it’s not weird, but I think it’s really interesting to be a part of something that so many people hold close to their hearts, that so many people grew up with. To get to like be involved in this world of passionate people."
She also talked about how excited she was for this months San Diego Comic Con.
"Comic Con is one of my favorite places in the world. I got to go for Zombieland and it is just a full convention center of people who care so much, and that is incredible. I mean maybe just as an actor passion is so exciting and all that emotion. I mean it literally buzzes, being in those convention rooms with 5,000 people, it’s buzzing. And to be a part of something that has that kind of passion, and that kind of enthusiasm behind it is kind of a cool, exciting thing.”

Emma Stone Says The Amazing Spider-Man's Gwen Is Different To The Comics; Hints At Movie Footage At Comic-Con!
The actress describes her preparation for a "different" take on Gwen Stacy, while sharing her thoughts on the trailer and dropping hints of more footage being shown at SDCC '11...
Get More: Movie Trailers (http://www.mtv.com/movies/trailer_park/), Movies Blog (http://moviesblog.mtv.com/)
"Not to freak anybody out, but she’s maybe a little bit different in the movie than she is in the comics, maybe," the actress told MTV News in a recent interview while promoting her latest movie, Crazy Stupid Love.
Stone then went on to describe just how much work she's put into her portrayal of Gwen, regardless of how "different" it may or may not end up being. "We were lucky we got to rehearse. Most of my scenes are with Andrew [Garfield], so Andrew and I would rehearse with Marc Webb the director a fair amount. I read a comprehensive book on the Stacys, and a few of the comics."
As for the trailer (a bootlegged version of which has already found its way online) and the possibility of new footage being shown at Comic-Con, she said: "I’ve seen the trailer, I thought it was pretty cool but maybe I’m a little bit biased, contractually. I’m pretty excited about it and I think they’re going to be showing a little footage from the movie at Comic-Con."

SDCC '11: First Look At Full Oscorp Logo From The Amazing Spider-Man!
While we've already caught a glimpse of this courtesy of some set photos a few months back, here is the full Oscorp logo, revealed on the floor of the San Diegohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=42392#) Comic Conhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=42392#)...
Thanks to First Showing, we have our first proper look at the logo for the villainous Norman Osborn's 'Oscorp'. While it's still unclear whether or not he'll play a role in either The Amazing Spider-Man or any future instalments of the rebooted franchise is unclear, but I'd say it's definitely a possibility! Those lucky enough to be in San Diego can also get their hands on a personalised Oscorp employee badge.

Following the debut teaser trailer (http://www.latinoreview.com/news/official-teaser-trailer-for-the-amazing-spider-man-14217) for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' is the first teaser poster. If you've been dying to get another extended look at the back of star of the film, Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man garb, you're in luck. Take a look at the brand-new poster below.
Leading up to the San Diego Comic-Con -- which is currently running from July 21-24 -- director, Marc Webb spoke to the Los Angeles Times (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/07/18/spider-man-director-marc-webb-feels-a-responsiblity-to-reinvent-the-hero/) about the new direction his film is taking from the established Sam Raimi series, which starred Tobey Maguire as the costumed hero. Even though the film is called 'The Amazing Spider-Man,' a name it shares with the long-running comic book series, Webb has repeatedly alluded to the similarities his film shares with the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' series of comics. He has said:
"I wanted it [the film] to be more grounded and more realistic and that went for the emotion of the scenes, the physical action and wardrobe. It’s less based in Steve Ditko world and probably closer visually and more influenced by “Ultimate Spider-Man” but it is also very much a world of our own devising."
Along with the aforementioned Garfield, who headlines, the film features Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, Martin Sheen as Ben Parker, Sally Field as May Parker, and Chris Zylka as Flash Thompson.
'The Amazing Spider-Man' hits theaters a little under a year from now on July 3, 2012.

Comic-Con 2011 News: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN star Andrew Garfield was given Tobey Maguire’s blessing when he took over the role
While at today’s 2011 Comic Con in San Diego, Andrew Garfield spoke to the press about finally taking over the role of Peter Parker aka Spider-man in the new reboot THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
Having been a big fan since he was a kid, he loved the chance to be the poster boy for all skinny kids around the world who wish they could transform into a crime-fighting super hero.
“I like the idea of a skinny kid beating up bad guys,” says Garfield. “It’s a dream of mine and what a way to do it so you can give other skinny kids in the audience that achievement as well.”
In terms of stepping in Tobey Maguire’s big shoes as the second big screen incarnation of the webslinger, Garfield says he has nothing but love for what Maguire brought to the characters previously.
“I love Tobey Maguire’s interpretation of the character,” says Garfield. “It’s one of the things that rekindles and reminds me how much his character means to me. When I watch that first Spidey film, I lost my mind. I watched it back to back, twice in a row when I first saw it.”
The other thing that Garfield was appreciative of, was being contacted by Tobey Maguire, who gave the young actor his blessing.
“[Tobey] sent a very, very, very nice email once it was announced,” says Garfield. “He gave me his blessing. It meant the world to me, because I respect him so much in general and also what he did with the role.”
SDCC '11: Highlights From Amazing Spider-Man Panel; Description Of New Footage And LIZARD!
A detailed description of brand new 3D footage as well as scenes featuring the transformation of Curt Connors into the Lizard, described as "twice the size of a human, giant, very scaly and green" and "Killer Croc with a human face"...
Thanks to First Showing, we have the following highlights from the panel which is currently taking place in San Diegohttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=42610#). These are just a few select excerpts, so be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site to read their coverage of the packed out panel in Hall H for yourself.
-Finally, The Amazing Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=42610#)! Logo hits the screens and the audience already cheers.
-"You might want to put your 3D glasses on."
-Finally, the lights go down, there's a low rumbling... but it's just showing the logo... the crowd starts a slow clap, but nothing happens. Still waiting...
-Some weird low rumbling sound coming from the speakers...
-Same footage as the teaser, but with a few tiny extra bits of footage, like a digital version of his webshooter... They're mechanical, but look digital.
-Some guy comes to the microphone to ask a question wearing a crappy Spider-Man costume and says "I've always wanted to come to Comic-Con as a fan" and then rips off his masks and it's Andrew Garfield - Peter Parker himself!
-"Peter Parker made me, Andrew, braver. He made me stronger... I wouldn't be able to stand here right now if I didn't know Spider-Man was here with me today."
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/8bc8c22a-7ba7-4209-a223-4929419c706a_400.jpg
-Avi Arad, Matt Tomach, Marc Webbhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=42610#), Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone hit the stage.
-Marc: "There's so many things about Peter Parker that I found interesting... he's one of the most relatable characters in the comics. Spider-Man, he's a part of our culture, here's a perennial character... I felt an incredible sense of enthusiasm for that character that kept me up at night... It was too intoxicating and irresistible to turn away from."
-They're going to show us a little footage from the film! Very early, very raw footage, just a few minutes worth, we may see wire-work and greenscreen in it, but they want to show us what the tone is like and so on.
-Peter gets in trouble for humiliating/beating up Flash Gordon, and his Uncle Ben comes in and talks to him in the school. Uncle Ben is the one crackin' some jokes about Emma Stone photos "being on his computer."
-Cute moments with Parker trying to get with Gwen, but doesn't know how to talk to her. Acoustic guitar song in the background, definitely a Marc Webb musical choice.
-Just saw shot of Parker holding his dad's Oscorp badge.
-Looking through a folder at what little he has collected of his biological parents.
-Sequences of him being people up on the subway for fun, sequences of him sticking to various things in his home. All the stunt work has been with wires so far, no CGI at all.
-Spidey joking around and making light of catching robbers, at first being like "is it a real knife? no, don't hurt me, please!"
-"It was your responsibility to do those things, not choice, responsibility.
-The footage just got much more intense now that hes being called the "masked vigilante known as Spider-Man."
-"Dr Connors, stop this right now!"
-"Peter, secrets have a cost..."
-Spider-Man footage was FANTASTIC. Looks great, lots of incredible looks, the tone goes from jokey and humorous at first to being very serious and intense. Lots of piratical wire-work, barely any CGI, I am very impressed, this is a different and new Spider-Man.
-Stone: "I fell in love with the story of Gwen and Peter and I can't play a story without making it my own a little bit, so... I hope it's alright I'm playing her. So she's on the page, and I can of interpreted her my own. We tried to make Gwen/Peter's story new and fresh and we worked it out the best we could."
-There was no villain in the footage we saw, but they're now talking about Dr. Curt Connors. Oh wait, maybe they have footage of this?
-Watching Connors talk to students, already has his arm gone from the first moment we see them, talking about how he "longs to fix himself."
-Watching as his hand is growing directly out from his lizard arm, and his skin is becoming scaley.
-Two girls in bathroom, something pulls the toilet down through the ground, a HUGE Lizard guy pulls himself up, MASSIVE CGI creature WHOA! At least twice the size of a human, giant, very scaly and green.
-Sticks out his tongue and nearly licks the girls face. Side shot of his face looking at the two girls.
-Very interesting Lizard reveal montage, looks like a unique villain, but a little too CGI, though this is obviously very early footage.
-Audience Q&A has started, Marc Webb talks about how they looked at the Ultimate Spider-Man series to reference body-type for Spider-Man.
-Question for Webb about this being darker. Webb: "Darker is one of those loaded terms... I want the style to be grounded, I wanted you to recognize what you see on screen as our real world, and that goes for physical, aesthetically, emotionally."
SuperHeroHype (http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/167979-sdcc-sony-pictures-panel-live-blog) have this alternative take on the footage, as well as their own description of the Lizard.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/spiliz.jpg-The first scene begins with Peter Parker in high school. He's been in a fight and has gotten in trouble.
-Uncle Ben shows up and is scolding him in the school hall.
-Gwen Stacy comes up behind the two of them.
-"That girl looks familar, " says Uncle Ben, "She's the girl on your computer."
-He looks to Gwen, "He's got you on his computer!" he shouts.
-"I'm his probation officer," he says to her as he walks away.
-Peter is embarrassed, but Gwen comes up to him.
-"You've got me on your computer," she asks?
-"That's my uncle," Peter stumbles, "He's a pathological liar. He got you confused. He thought you were Gwen Stefani."
-Gwen obviously likes him, though and they flirt, setting up a date.
-Coldplay's "Til Kingdom Come" plays, carrying over through the next few scenes.
-Peter is looking through his dad's old briefcase. He tries on his dad's glasses and then finds a strange looking file along with his dad's Oscorp ID badge.
-"Your father was a very secretive man, Peter," says a voice off-camera.
-Another song montage starts. This one to The Rolling Stone's "Street Fighting Man".
-Lots of action scenes, most with wirework still in.
-There's a scene on the subway where some thugs break Peter's skateboard and he fights back.
-There's an Uncle Ben speech voiceover about power and responsibility and a shot of Peter in a wrestling ring.
-Another scene has a criminal in a car. Spider-man is already sitting in the back.
-The criminal freaks out. "Are you a cop?"
-"Really?!" says Spider-Man, "You think the guy sitting here in red and blue spandex is a cop?"
-Outside the car, a guy pulls a knife on Spider-man.
-He falls to his knees, mocking the guy and begging, "A knife?! No, no, no! Please! Not a knife!"
-He webs the guy to a wall, casually, firing webs like its second nature. He shoots one web while mimicking a sneeze.
-There's a scene where Peter is eating dinner with the Stacy family. Captain Stacy is complaining about Spider-Man.
-Gwen says that they're after the same things, but her dad says that he does it with a badge and Spider-man with a mask. That he's a vigilante.
-Another scene has Captain Stacy making an announcement that Spider-man is now a wanted man by the NYPD.
-Gwen asks Peter if he remembered his suit. He momentarily freaks out, thinking she's on to him, but realizes that she's talking about a dress suit.
-The scene ends with Peter screaming Connor's name.
-As far as the look of the lizard, it's definitely more in tone with the original Ditko design, though a lot more muscular.
-He's massive, but a bit more human-looking than the regular comic-book design.
-He actually looks a lot like killer croc, with a vaguely human face.
-The transformation into the lizard looks gradual. We see scenes of Connors with shedding skin and with green scales.
-He's down in the sewer, screaming as he transforms.
-Two girls are in a bathroom together when the toilet begins to bubble.
-It cracks away, falling into the ground. Out comes a massive green arm.
-Against a wall, the lizard moves up to both girls' faces. He smells them and then sticks out his tongue, moving across one girl's face. Imagine the scene in "Alien 3".
-There's a lab scene, too, where Connors introduces himself to Peter and his class, explaining that he plans to use science to regrow his hand.
-Peter understands immediately how he intends to do it, using reptile genes to regrow limbs.
-There's also a shot of Connors standing against a mirror, trying to imagine having an arm on both sides.
SDCC '11: Rhys Ifans Comments Briefly On His Role As Curt Connors/Lizard!
Check out what the Welsh actor had to say about his role as the Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man, which he describes as "a dream come true"! Ifans also drops a few hints about Curt's tragic transformation...
Here a few excerpts from the somewhat brief interview with Hero Complex. While not overly revealing, the actor does drop some pretty interesting hints about his portrayal of the iconic Spider-Man villain.

"I’m out of the reptilian closet," Ifans said Friday afternoon while smoking a cigarette on a balcony at the Hilton Bayfront at the Comic-Con convention in San Diego. "I’m the Lizard."
The 43-year-old Welsh actor said his role as a one-armed scientist named Dr. Connors is "a dream come true."
"He’s not a bad man; far from it, he’s a great man who makes one bad decision," Ifans says. "One ethical and moral decision leads to terrible things. The science isn’t evil and the man isn’t evil. It’s one bad decision."
Ifans said addiction is among the colors his performance — the serum delivers a swooning power, and Connors finds himself pulled toward a dark place. "That gave me a lot to work with," Ifans said.

Marc Webb Talks About The Use Of Web-Shooters In The Amazing Spider-Man!
The director of next year's Spider-Man reboot talks in detail about why the web-shooters will be used in the film, as well as dishing on the design of the costume and the extended legs on the spider symbol...
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/32462L.png
Speaking to LA Times, Marc Webb (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=43373#) - director of the hotly anticipated The Amazing Spider-Man - talks about why he decided to include the use of the web-shooters in the film (something that Raimi's trilogy didn't), saying that they helped to dramatize Peter Parker's intellect. He also discussed the design of the costume, saying that they wanted to make the body longer and more agile (something that the extended legs of the chest symbol emphasizes).
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/gallerypictures/32463L.pngOn why they decided to go with web-shooters...
I had a meeting with Stan Lee (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/BatFreak/news/?a=43373#) and we talked about the web-shooters. I was curious about the incarnation of them [because] of course in the previous films [they went away from them] and we wanted to reestablish ourselves. That was one thing but the other thing was the fact that the web-shooters were able to dramatize Peter’s intellect and I thought that was really cool. … It was in the comics and we have a different design but it’s a cool element to have. It’s not something we over-use or over-exploit. To me, it’s something I remember from when I was a kid and thinking 'It would be cool if I could build those.'
On the design of the costume...
We paid attention to the question of ‘How would a kid make it?’ And obviously we took some license with it. We also wanted a design that would make the body longer and more lithe, more of an acrobat, someone incredibly agile, and the legs of the spider [symbol on the chest] were something we used to emphasize that. We made a bunch of different suits for different lighting conditions. I wanted something that worked in the night a little better. We paid attention to that and also made the webbing [on the costume] a little bit darker. With the costume and the web-shooters we wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he’s an outsider.
Andrew Garfield On Spider-Man's Crotch And "Muhammad Ali" Inspired Movement!
The actor is quizzed on the rather bizarre topic of how he and Marc Webb ensure that the crotch area of the new suit was "handled with sensitivity" and reveals his inspirations for Spidey include Ronaldo and Man on Wire...
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/78hyuildhu.jpg
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Andrew Garfield was probed on how the sleeker costume felt ("fantastic") and more specifically, whether he and director Marc Webb put a lot of thought into the crotch area. Seriously. "Um, yeah, there are long discussions about this stuff. There has to be because it’s got to be handled with sensitivity. It has to be non-offensive, which takes some tools. I don’t think it should be the main attraction of the costume. I don’t think it should be what people are focusing on.” In other words, keep it classy."
Fair enough. Moving on, he told the site that one of his biggest challenges was figuring out how to move as the iconic Marvel superhero. Apparently, "...he studied tapes of Muhammad Ali and soccer great Ronaldo, and he pored over the 2008 documentary Man on Wire — the non-fiction account of tight-rope walker/daredevil Philippe Petit, who snuck up to the top of New York’s World Trade Center in 1974 and crossed on a rope from one building to the other."
"Man on Wire was something I wanted to capture in playing Spider-Man," he added. The feeling that it gave me of this human being giving something so spectacular and hopeful and magical to a mass of people for nothing other than generosity." And this isn't the only way in which his portrayal of Spidey will differ from that of predecessor Tobey Maguire. "Tobey did an amazing job. This isn’t a replacement. I want to be clear about that. It’s another chapter. That’s not what I’ve been trained to say, that’s what I feel. I’ve spoken to Tobey and we’ve seen each other and hung out."
And what advice did the former Spider-Man have for the new Peter Parker? "He said just enjoy yourself. Don’t let the burden weigh too heavy and make sure you have some fun."
AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Andrew Garfield on the Responsibility of Playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man
While at Comic-Con, Quint from Aint It Cool News scored an interview with Andrew Garfieldhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/scifimediazone/news/?a=44146#) in which the actor discussed, among other things, the responsibility inherent in portraying the dual roles of Peter Parker and Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/scifimediazone/news/?a=44146#).
What follows is an excerpt from that interview. Follow the link for the full conversation.
Quint:
I guess the big question, the elephant in the room, is how you develop your own interpretation of Peter Parker as a character and of Spider-Man as a character. I mean, you not only have the established movie (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/scifimediazone/news/?a=44146#) universe, but decades of different iterations of the character in comic book form.
Andrew Garfield:
I know. And people are still crazy about it.
Quint:
And to complicate it a lot of people are into the books today because of the Spider-Man movies and Tobey Maguire’s performance.
Andrew Garfield:
Yeah, I know. It rekindled my love for it. I was reminded about how much the comics and the cartoon series meant to me as a kid when I saw the film. When I saw that first movie, I thought “God! That symbol has meant so much to me for all my life, since I was two years old and I had my first Halloween.” Stepping into this is a number of things, you know? It’s a dream come true, for sure. I feel really lucky to have been given the opportunity. I wanted to make sure I had as much fun as possible because what I’ve found is that Peter Parker doesn’t get to have that much fun. He’s got a lot to do, he’s got a lot of stuff to clean up.
Quint:
Especially, I’d imagine, in the first movie of a new series of Spider-Man films.
Andrew Garfield:
He’s going through adolescence, which is a full time job, as we all know and have been through; that breaks you down and makes you sometimes question existence. And on top of that he gets given these powers, which on the surface to us all just seem like this ability to be stronger than you’ve always been, to be able to swing through the streets of New York Cityhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/scifimediazone/news/?a=44146#) and get to experience the sensation of flight, which we’ve all dreamed about.
Quint:
Something I love in the books that wasn’t in the Raimi movies too much… the wise-cracking Spider-Man. When he’s Peter Parker he has the weight of real life on his shoulders, but he has a certain freedom as Spider-Man…
Andrew Garfield:
Sure, in a way. But if I could disagree with that as well… the mask weighs more than I thought it would… for me, personally.
Quint:
Sure, it represents the responsibility that comes with his powers…
Andrew Garfield:
That’s exactly right and you don’t actually know how heavy that is until it’s actually upon you. My personal journey with it, as Andrew, has kind of syncopated with Peter and his journey in this movie. I got very excited, of course, when I knew I was going to be playing the role and I was just living in a pure fantasy for three months going, “I get to do this and I get to do that and I get to do all my stunts and I get to wear the [frick]ing costume and I get to hang out with kids in Queens and I get to research all that and I get to be a kid again… I get to fulfill a fantasy!”
Rhys Ifans Shares His Thoughts On The Amazing Spider-Man!
Nothing all that new here, but check out what actor who will portray Dr. Curt Conner, and ultimately "The Lizard", had about say about his experience on set and more!

Geoff Boucher from Hero Complex got a chance to talk with Rhys Ifanshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/CoastToCoastStation/news/?a=44289#) about Marc Webb'shttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/CoastToCoastStation/news/?a=44289#) highly-anticipated Spider-Man reboot. Find out what the actor portraying Dr. Curt Konner's had to say about his experience on set, and what kind of villain we can expect!
Geoff Boucher's interview with Rhys Iffans
GB: Marc Webb was a surprise pick to direct this film — his only other feature was “(500) Days of Summer” — but he has some bold ideas for taking Spider-Manhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/CoastToCoastStation/news/?a=44289#) into new areas on screen. How was the shoot for you and working with Webb?
"The shoot was phenomenal. It was a dream come true really. A franchise that has such gravitas as this — it’s all eyes on you — and what Marc has done is very exciting. Not to be disparaging to the other movies at all but they were kind of going a certain way and Marc has rolled it back to its delicate, human domesticity. Spider-Man is a working-class hero. He’s an everyman. And I think Marc as a director and Andrew in his performances are doing special — we’re reclaiming the poetry of the hero and of the story."
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/31625/lizard%20banner.jpg
GB: The best Marvel villains have shadings of tragedy to their story and persona. They’re not simple mustache-twirling bad guys. That’s reflected in this new version of the Lizard I would imagine…
"Absolutely, Curt Connors is by no stretch an evil villain. He’s not like the Batman villains, like the Joker, who are the embodiment of evil. Curtis Connors is a great man who makes a bad decision. That’s the whole magic of the Spider-Man idea. These people are the embodiment of our flaws and our desires that lead to tragedy. Curt Connors is a man with one arm and he wants to grow his arm back. He has access to a science that can enable that. But he has to make a moral decision, an ethical decision, to achieve that. In a story both he and Peter Parker are presented with these amazing abilities, and it’s about this gift that life gives us. More than any other super-hero, Spider-Man presents us with something very local in its ethics. It’s not messianic. It’s far more tangible. He is, again, a working-class hero."
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/31625/tumblr_la9zd1l0J21qcga5ro1_500.jpg
GB: Beyond comics, your role would seem to tap into that grand tradition of characters who go too far to tamper with nature or science, such as Dr. Frankenstein or Dr. Jekyll…
"Absolutely. It’s the human condition in flux — in physical flux but in moral and emotional flux as well. The teenage state, interestingly, is a state of flux too, it’s riddled with hormones and change, and Spider-Man more than any other hero is a metaphor for puberty. I feel bad for him. I’d never want to get my first [erection] in that costume. But you have a hero and a villain in flux and not all of it is science fiction."

I have no idea whether these were leaked online or released through official channels, but Uruloki Blog have posted two fantastic new promotional images from The Amazing Spider-Man, similar to the one which was first released when the title was announced a while back. What do you guys think of these? It seems like they've listened to the negative response from fans and changed the shoes from silver to a red and blue design far more similar to the comic books (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=44634#). Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!

Andrew Garfield "Studied Spiders" For His Role In The Amazing Spider-Man!
Talking revealingly about how he'll present a totally unique and spidery take on Peter Parker in the highly anticipated reboot, the actor comments on his fear of the recognition which comes with such a role and much more...
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/876565785.jpgThanks to Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex, we have a revealing interview with Andrew Garfieldhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=45248#), where he talks more about his "spidery" influences in his portrayal of the iconic Marvel character and how this eventually altered his sure to be unique take on Peter Parker. Be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site to read the interview in full, where you'll also find out more about his thoughts on working with actress Emma Stonehttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=45248#).
On What He Felt He Had To Avoid While Preparing For The Role:
There’s so much to do with it, I didn’t really think about avoiding anything. I just didn’t come at it that way. I wanted him to have fun. I wanted it to feel like Peter Parker could have some fun and wasn’t just trying to save the world. He could have fun even after the responsibility has been thrust upon him and he has to save the city. I really wanted to do something physical that was genuine and authentic and inspired by the different artists over the years. His physicality is something which I’ve been obsessed by and I’ve loved.
On How Actual Spiders Ended Up Influencing And Effecting His Performance:
What would having spider DNA constituting a percentage of your blood — what would that do? So I studied spiders, I studied their movements and how they operate in the world and I tried to incorporate as much of that as I could. He’s a boy/spider in terms of how he moves, and not just in the suit. It also shapes the way he interacts with people. A spider is so sensitive; their skin is sensitive to everything. That’s the thing with the spider sense and the way he takes in everything. Imagine all of your skin was as sensitive as a spider, the slightest gust of wind would feel like a tornado going by. You’d always be rushing, that rush. What does that do to you? The idea of how he adjusts to that. And I looked at the idea of having more legs, more arms, and the spacial awareness. A spider moves up, down, side-to-side, all around. He’s not linear and with the knowledge of that spatial awareness and the fact that he can be here and then over there incredibly fast. The stillness of a spider and the lightness I found all of that very interesting to explore as well.
On How He Feels About The Extra Recognition Which Will Come From This Role:
I don’t like to think about it. It terrifies me. I don’t want that, actually. I just saw that I was given an opportunity to play a part that I’ve been wanting to play since I was a 2-year-old. I don’t see it any other way. I don’t want the rest of it. The visibility thing — the being a more visible actor or just a more visible person in the world — was the one thing that deterred me. That was absolutely the one thing I questioned. Do I want to do this? I thought about it for a month, constantly. I knew there would be a change in my life to an extent. I’m going to do everything I can to make sure I stay part of the world. I want to be able to walk around in this world. I love being alive and I love being a person and I love being able to meet people, meet strangers without them having any preconceived notion of who I am. I love meeting people. I love being me. I don’t want to be anyone else. Of course this comes with a certain life change but I’m going to do everything in my power to hold on to what’s important, which is I am a guy who does a job for a living that comes with some periphery stuff that I’m not interested in. I did take the role, I took it on, and i don’t regret it. It’s meant something to me for all of my life. But I’m going to do my best to remain me.

Marc Webb On Why The Amazing Spider-Man "Belongs On The Big Screen"
Speaking to Total Film, the aptly named director comments on why he's not worried about re-inventing the character after the previous movies (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=45623#), as well as the incredible stunts involved and working with 3D..
Some feel that Spider-Man has been rebooted far too soon, with Sam Raimi's third movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=45623#) in the franchise only hitting screens 4 years ago. Granted that movie wasn't really up to scratch, but there is no denying that Raimi's previous installments were pretty damn great, or at least pretty damn popular if you weren't a fan of his character choices. Speaking to Total Film, new Spidey director Marc Webbhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=45623#) responds to this..
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/amazing-spider-man-preview.jpg
“Spider-Man is part of our culture, he’s a perennial character. He belongs on the big screen. Spidey is constantly re-examined and there’s way too many versions of him in the comics… That was something I thought we could do cinematically. There’s just so much fantastic material that comes from the comics, whether it’s Gwen Stacey or The Lizard. His relationship with Connors, who is both mentor and adversary, I think makes for a really beautiful and interesting story."
But didn't he feel any trepidation in taking over the franchise and going in a completely different direction?
“I was a little sceptical at first – you feel the presence of those other movies. But then I was like, ‘How could I walk away from this? What an opportunity!’ What better cinematic character is there than Spidey!”
And what about working with 3D for the first time, not to mention all of those incredible stunts we witnessed taking place on set?
“I wanted to shoot certain things very specifically for 3D. There’s an experiential component to 3D that’s really fantastic and we’re experimenting with generating that point of view so you feel how Spider-Man feels when he’s jumping over these buildings. We made a conscious effort to do those effects practically and we had an incredible stunt team. We built this whole rig – hundreds of feet long – in Harlem, and we actually swung a man through traffic down the street. I thought that was really exciting, not to mention an incredible level of acrobatics!”
I wasn't overly blown away from the first trailer we has for TASP, but everything else we have seen and heard so far including Webb's confidence and understanding of the character means I'm optimistic. Now lets see some more footage!
Director Marc Webb's 'The Amazing Spider-Man' will mark the character's first theatrical film in 3D. It has been shot with 3D in mind as opposed to being converted solely in post-production. In an interview with Total Film (http://www.totalfilm.com/news/director-marc-webb-talks-the-amazing-spider-man), the director opened up a little about how the 3D will affect the overall film. He said:
"I wanted to shoot certain things very specifically for 3D. There’s an experiential component to 3D that’s really fantastic and we’re experimenting with generating that point of view so you feel how Spider-Man feels when he’s jumping over these buildings.We made a conscious effort to do those effects practically and we had an incredible stunt team. We built this whole rig – hundreds of feet long – in Harlem, and we actually swung a man through traffic down the street. I thought that was really exciting, not to mention an incredible level of acrobatics!"
He also admitted to being initially skeptical about helming a 'Spider-Man' reboot so shortly after director, Sam Raimi's series, but then said to himself:
"How could I walk away from this? What an opportunity! What better cinematic character is there than Spidey!"
Part of what intrigued him was the relationship between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Dr. Curt Connors, (Rhys Ifans) who undergoes a transformation into the villain, the Lizard. On this, he said:
"His [Parker] relationship with Connors, who is both mentor and adversary, I think makes for a really beautiful and interesting story."
Along with Garfield and Ifans, the cast of the film includes Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as George Stacy, Campbell Scott as Richard Parker, Embeth Davidtz as Mary Parker, Martin Sheen as Ben Parker, Sally Field as May Parker, and Chris Zylka as Flash Thompson.
Rhys Ifans Talks Briefly About The Amazing Spider-Man
Speaking very briefly with The Orlando Sentinel while promoting his latest film Anonymous Rhys Ifans talks about working with Marc Webb on The Amazing Spider-Man. Hit the link for more.

Speaking with The Orlando Sentinel while touring to promote Anonymous, the Roland Emmerich directed political thriller - Rhys Ifans shared some information about working with Marc Web on next years The Amazing Spider-Man
"I put my whole body into ‘Spider-Man.’ It was a thrill to work with Marc Webb. He's like Roland Emmerich. He's doing blockbusters, but he has an 'indie' heart, an indie character-oriented sensibility.
"That was a very telling thing on the set. We knew it would be action-packed and epic and all that. But Marc made sure that the human dynamic was paramount, and that’s going to elevate the film possibly to a place that the other [ Spider Man] films got to.”
The Amazing Spider-Man's Rhys Ifans Debuts His Lizard Voice
In an interview with MTV's Josh Horowitz Rhys Ifans shared some information about the process of bringing The Lizard to life in next years The Amazing Spider-Man, as well as sharing his take on The Lizards voice! Hit the link to see the video.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/38779/23515.JPG
Speaking with MTV's self proclaimed 'movie guy', Josh Horowitz - Rhys Ifans took the opportunity to make the poor man a little uncomfortable.
Rhys Ifans told MTV that he had filmed most of his scenes wearing a motion capture suit, but the great news is that his voice, his eyes and his facial expressions will be preserved to make sure that the when we look at The Lizard we won't just see a emotionless CGI model.
"It's totally my voice," Ifans told MTV News when asked if we'd be hearing his Lizard voice when the movie arrives next year. "I'm sure the voice will be toyed with in the eventual edits, but when I was shooting the CGI moments, when I wasn't actually human, when I was Lizard, I looked like a crash-test dummy in a green leotard thing. There were many moments when I had to speak to Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the Lizard."
Not content with simply telling us that we'd be hearing his Lizard voice, Ifans one-upped us with one heck of a terrifying exclusive: his first public performance of the Lizard's voice!
"Sooooo prettyyyyy," he hissed at MTV's Josh Horowitz, making our fearless reporter very, very uncomfortable. "Beauuuuutiful MTV ... "

Rhys Ifans Talks The Amazing Spider-Man; Comments On Marc Webb, Story And More!
Talking briefly about how proud he was to work on The Amazing Spider-Man, the father-son dynamic of the story and the many skills of director Marc Webb, check out what the Welsh actor who's playing the Lizard had to say...
Talking to Movieline (http://www.movieline.com/2011/10/rhys-ifans-on-anonymous-second-guessing-shakespeare-and-the-intimacy-of-spider-man.php?page=2) about his new movie, Anonymous, the Welsh actor let slip a few more minor details about what it was like to work on The Amazing Spider-Man, commenting briefly on the story and on what director Marc Webb has brought to the production. The actor recently appeared to reveal the voice he'll be using for the Lizard in the movie, but we're yet to see any sort of image of what he'll look like...unless you count the blurry, unfinished CGI shots from Comic Con.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/39238923892039.jpgWe’ve seen the fervor growing around the Spider-Man reboot. Are you bracing yourself for the next six to eight months of having that in your life?
No, I just did the gig. If you think about it too much, it just… But of course I’m really proud of it. I haven’t seen it yet, obviously. But again, that was working with Marc Webb. Of course it’s a huge franchise with a massive budget, but essentially for me it was a kind of father-son story and emotionally very domestic. But in terms of the whole publicity machine and all that, I’m kind of excited.
So Marc bring some intimacy to it? Was that the sense you got?
Absolutely. On paper, you’d think, “Oh, what a strange choice.” But it actually makes total sense. He works very quietly with actors, with loving attention to emotional detail. And for a film painted on such a wide canvas, you have to have that forensic-ness to counter the size — to keep kind of an emotional balance in the piece. Hopefully, I think that’s what we’ve achieved. We’ll see.
What do you make of the actors comments? Are you fed up with waiting for Sony to reveal the Lizard?! Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place! And remember, you can check out the interview in full by clicking on the link below.
Photos From The Amazing Spider-Man Reshoots Feature Peter Parker And Destroyed Taxi!Reshoots are currently taking place for the highly anticipated 2012 blockbuster, so hit the jump to check out some new images of Andrew Garfield, as well as a destroyed taxi which looks like it may have been a victim of the Lizard...
With reshoots well underway in New York City, we've had a few extra set photos appear online (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=50004#) from The Amazing Spider-Man. Sadly, there's been no sign of the hero in full costume, but we do have Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker!

While that taxi apparently fell from the bridge, I seem to recall cars being flung around in the teaser trailer...could this be the Lizard's handiwork I wonder?
Fiona’s Tale AKA Spiderman 4 is filming on location (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=50004#) underneath the Willy B tonight [Thursday] alongside East River Housing. You can see a destroyed Taxi, that appears to have fallen from the bridge. I shot a few photos before I was asked to leave, my own personal property, by one of the snarky PAs.

Following yesterday's set photos from the reshoots for the Marc Webb-directed reboot The Amazing Spider-Man, the Daily Mail have now acquired more photos now featuring Rhys Ifans in-character, and the leading star Andrew Garfield. While Garfield is also seen seemingly treating a bloody nose, as well masked, although it could be a stunt-double, check out the photos below.

The Amazing Spider-Man Reshoots Further Showcase Rhys Ifans' Transformation!
After a new batch of set photos were revealed last night, yet another image of Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors has surfaced and it shows his regenerated hand looking very gruesome indeed...
In the photos posted last night (you can find them HERE (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=50073)) we caught a glimpse of Rhys Ifans wearing some sort of strange glove on his hand. While many assumed this was perhaps a prosthetic of some sort for the character, a closer image from the reshoots currently taking place courtesy of Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2063730/Andrew-Garfield-spotted-tissue-nose-filming-Spider-Man-scenes.html?ito=feeds-newsxml) reveals that it is fact a part of his transformation into the Lizard. Just like in the comic books, Connors clearly succeeds in regrowing his missing limb, but this seemingly starts to go wrong as we can see below.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/article-2063730-0EDC77EB00000578-924_468x531.jpg
Whether this is his hand regrowing after the experiment or the beginning of him turning into the Lizard isn't clear at this point. However, with Andrew Garfield also spotted on set in a makeshift costume (with web shooters) it seems that their stories will run parallel throughout The Amazing Spider-Man. Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place.
Amazing Spider-Man Reshoots Feature Peter Parker, Captain Stacy And A Webbed Up Criminal!
Well, it looks like Spider-Man will have his trademark sense of humor in The Amazing Spider-Man as the latest photos from New York reshoots feature Captain Stacy discovering a webbed up criminal who has seemingly been given a wedgie...
I'm not sure about you guys, but when I heard that they were planning reshoots for The Amazing Spider-Man, I wasn't expecting this many new scenes to be revealed! Today, we see Captain Stacy (played by Denis Leary) discovering what seems to be a webbed up criminal left for the NYPD. Many didn't appreciate the lack of humor in Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire's interpretation of Spider-Man, but if that wedgie is anything to go by, it looks like there will be plenty of that on offer here!

Irrfan Khan's ' Van Atter' Gets A New Name; AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Synopsis Confirms Sequels
Originally thought to be playing the villainous 'Proto-Goblin', Sony has now given Irrfan Khan's mysterious character a new identity, while the official synopsis posted earlier confirms the studios plans for a series of Spider-Man movies.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/2837671267.jpgWhile we've already been treated to the stunning new promo images and intriguing character descriptions from The Amazing Spider-Man's official website (find them all HERE (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/)) there are a couple of details you may have missed. When it was revealed that Irrfan Khan would be playing 'Van Atter' in the reboot, many wondered if the filmmakers actually meant 'Van Adder' a character who briefly appeared in a Spider-Man comic book as the villainous Proto-Goblin. Well, it's unclear for the reason behind the change, but the site now lists Khan's character name as 'Dr. Ratha', a character who to the best of my knowledge has never been heard of in the comic books.
The official synopsis which was posted at the tail end of two of the above mentioned articles confirms earlier reports that Sony are already moving ahead with a sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man, although whether this hints at Sony having a single storyline which will run through a certain number of movies obviously isn't clear at this point.
Like most teenagers his age, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that his father held...a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story. On July 3rd, 2012, the untold story begins. And starring Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker), Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Denis Leary (George Stacy), Rhys Ifans (Curt Conners), Martin Sheen (Ben Parker), and Sally Field (May Parker), directed by Marc Webb, The Amazing Spider-Man movie is swinging into theaters in IMAX 3D!
Official Character Descriptions Revealed From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Site!
Not revealing much more than what's already known, make the jump to find out where The Amazing Spider-Man primary characters are at in life in the reboot from the movie site's descriptions.

Following the reveal of new still images (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=51303) and promotional wallpapers (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/CoastToCoastStation/news/?a=51301), Sony's website launch for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man movie also included official descriptions for the primary characters of the much-anticipated reboot. Essentially detailing the rebooted characters' situations and dynamics in the film, vaguely with nothing too surprising, read on below!
http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/452/spderman0003layer1.pngPETER PARKER: Ever since Peter’s parents disappeared 13 years ago, he has struggled to find his purpose in life. Now, on the brink of unlocking the mystery about what happened to them, he must face the ultimate challenge – one that has been created within the laboratories of Oscop.
http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/845/spderman0002layer2.pngGWEN STACY: Smart, charismatic and rebellious, Gwen is the chief Intern at Oscorp, a position she takes very seriously. But her life takes a complicated turn as she watched both her boyfriend, Peter, and her mentor, Dr. Connors, undergo radical transformations.
http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1442/spderman0001layer3.pngCAPTAIN STACY: An esteemed police officer for over twenty years, Captain Stacy is the public face of the NYPD who leads the department’s investigation into Spider-Man’s vigilantism. The only thing Captain Stacy vows to protect more than the city is his family – and particularly his only daughter, Gwen.
http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2262/spderman0000layer4.png
DR. CURT CONNER: One of Oscorp’s leading scientific minds, Dr. Connors attempts to engineer a revolutionary regeneration serum to help re-grow limbs and human tissue. His motivations are unclear as to why he elects to be the first human test subject – but what becomes evident is that something goes horribly wrong.

With all of recent great new pics from this movie this probably isn't that exciting for some, but Mark over at Live For Films (http://www.liveforfilms.com/2011/12/16/empire-amazing-2012-preview-cover/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+liveforfilms%2FqdPt+%28Live+f or+Films%29) received his subscriber's issue of Empire's 2012 preview issue and was good enough to post a pic of the cover, featuring Andrew Garfield as an unmasked Spider-Man.

Details And Scene Descriptions For AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; Daily Bugle Will NOT Feature
Director Marc Webb has shown Empire Magazine (http://www.empireonline.com/) three scenes featuring Spider-Man and the Lizard and we have all the details here. He also addresses Twilight comparisons, The Daily Bugle and more.
The latest issue of Empire Magazine (http://www.empireonline.com/) features a fascinating and revealing feature on The Amazing Spider-Man. Below are a few excerpts from the report, although there's a LOT more to be found (including new information on the POV scenes and comments from Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone) in the article itself. Of course, you'll have to pick up the issue when it goes on sale next week of you want check those out! For now, here are some of the other most interesting highlights. If you had your doubts about Marc Webb helming the reboot, prepare to have your mind changed. He's clearly very passionate about the project and sounds as if he knows EXACTLY what he's doing.
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/29837827381.jpg"I don't have a problem saying that word," says director Marc Webb. "It's not a remake, we're not making Sam's movie again. It's a different universe and a different story with different characters. There are certain mythological obligations people have in any story, but it's so radically different in terms of tone and what Peter Parker experiences that I'm very comfortable with the movie occupying a different space."
"I wanted to start from a place where it felt like, if you walked into the theatre, that it was the same universe you lived in," says the director. "Which is difficult when you have a giant lizard running down the street..."
"He's the literal embodiment of the theme of the movie, which is we all have a missing piece," says Webb. "He has no arm. Peter has no parents, and he fills that void with Spider-Man. Curt is not as strong as Spider-Man on the inside, but he wants to get back his arm and fill that void, and essentially he becomes a big bully."
Enough tell, Webb decides. It's time for some show, and so he asks Bell to cue up some scenes from his early, very rough, very unfinished cut. "The movie (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=51413#) starts off pretty small and gradually merges into something that's more fantastic and vibrant and filled with scope," he says, and by way of illustration, runs three scenes in which we see Spider-Man swing. The first is entirely practical, with Garfield - in Parker duds - swinging around inside a disused warehouse, with the giant wired rig to which the whooping actor is attached yet to be deleted via CGI.
The second, from a little later in the film, is the only sequence Empire sees that is even somewhat redolent of Raimi-vision, as Spider-Man swings giddily along a bridge in pursuit of something, even running briefly on the side of a passing truck.
The third one, though, shows that Webb hasn't abandoned CG. Far from it. The sequence - which is from the third act so we'll be sure to tread carefully - features Spider-Man in pursuit of The Lizard (here seen just once, in very rough animatic form, from a distance as he scales a building), while being pursued himself by cops. Following an excellently staged fight with the cops, and an emotionally charged confrontation with, erm, A Major Character, the sequence follows a wounded Spider-Man as he tries desperately to swing across New York in order to save the day.
One thing's for sure - Twilight it ain't. "I haven't seen a Twilight movie, so i don't know how to comment on that," says Webb. "People may assume because it's me doing Spider-Man, it's more intimate. And it is, but one of the reasons I wanted to do it was to [frick]ing blow shit up, swing through the air and kick some ass."
Webb's Amazing Spider-Man will plant Peter firmly in his teenage years. He doesn't have a job (the Daily Bugle is mentioned, but won't be seen until the inevitable sequel), he likes to skateboard, he has uncontrollable hair, he's a kid searching for the truth about his parent's disappearance.

Merchandise for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Reveals Another Look at THE LIZARD
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/52040.jpg Just came across a website that has posted images of a whole bunch of new merchandise for The Amazing Spider-Man.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/20773/spiderman_banner_22.jpg
This looks like a more finished version of Spider-man's main villain in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. So what do you think? Is this what Rhys Ifans will look like once he has completely transformed into Spidey's nemesis? Or, do you think this is just a early stage of the transformation process?
Among the goods we found include a number of remote control Mini-Quads, a Sewer Chase Submarine, Transforming Racer, Pro Wheels Power Surfer (like our Rip Stick Caster Boards), scooters, skateboards and mooore. idlehands1.blogspot.com

A Rundown Of 2011's Spoilers For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/52104.png From multiple transformations to a certain maniacal, green-masked CEO; here's a look at some of the choice spoilers to emerge this year for the controversial reboot of the Spider-Man franchise.

IS THIS THE FINAL FORM OF THE LIZARD
These are reportedly leaks from the exclusive footage shown at this years San Diego Comic-Con. Surprisingly, the footage never leaked on the internet so this one remains a possibility rather than a fact...for now.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/33503/Final%20form%20of%20the%20Lizard%20Amaing%20Spider man%20Reboot.jpg

http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/33503/Final%20form%20of%20the%20Lizard%20Amaing%20Spider man%20Reboot3.jpg
THIS IS AT LEAST ONE FORM OF THE LIZARD
It's been confirmed repeatedly through the film's toyline that the Lizard will look like the below concept art (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/Wolvie09/news/?a=50483) at some point during the film. As mentioned above, the burning question now is whether Doc Conners will undergo a final transformation to a more "snouty" version.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/lizard3.jpg
NO DAILY BUGLE IN THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
Director Marc Webb confirmed in an interview with Empire (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=51413) that the movie firmly centers on Peter's high school years and will not step inside the doors of The Daily Bugle. However, Webb does say that the newspaper will at least be mentioned.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/39552/bg.jpg
TO BE PROTO-GOBLIN OR NOT TO BE....
Bollywood actor Irrfan Khan was originally slated to play a character named Van Atter (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=51311), who many took to be a different take on Van Adder who is known in the comic book world as Proto-Goblin. However, recently Sony has unveiled on the official website that Khan will now play a character titled Dr. Ratha. Is Proto-Goblin being cut from the movie during the recent re-shoots or were fans simply reaching with this one?
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/33503/Khan-ProtoGoblin.jpg
SPIDER-MAN WILL STILL BE AN UNHERALDED HERO
In Raimi's Spider-Man movies, by the end of the trilogy Spider-Man was a pretty popular, well-liked hero in NYC. Look's like Webb is taking the ol' web-head back to his unpopular hero roots.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/31625/peter_parker_background.jpg
DUNST AND MAGUIRE WANTED CAMEOS BUT SONY SAID NO THANK YOU
The quirky beauty, Kirsten Dunst stated that both she and Tobey Maguire had hoped to make a cameo (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=50951) in Sony's reboot of the Spider-Man franchise but the top Execs at Sony were having none of it.

SPEAKING OF DUNST, NO UPSIDE-DOWN KISS FOR GWEN
Emma Stone revealed that you'll be disappointed if you expect to see a reenactment of the famous kiss (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/GraphicCity/news/?a=44519) from Raimi's Spider-Man franchise. Said Stone, "Why would we do an upside-down kiss? I’m not Mary Jane. I’m Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man film. New girl. New kiss,” said Stone, adding, “I wanted to do different kisses to make our mark.”

THE FILM'S CLIMACTIC BATTLE PITS SPIDEY AGAINST A LIZARD ARMY
Another rumor (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/joshw24/news/?a=30549) confirmed by the film's toyline (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=52020) reveals that in the climatic showdown with the Lizard, Spidey will be forced to go through an entire SWAT teams that's been transformed into Lizard Men before getting to the topdog..er.. Lizard himself.

WILL CHRISTOPHER WALTZ CAMEO AS NORMAN OSBORN
Potentially a huge goof by Sony's own Playstation Network, a download of the Amazing Spider-Man trailer listed Christopher Waltz as a member of the cast. It was rumored very early on in the production that Waltz was up for the role of a villain (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=21173) and many assumed that he was in talks for the Lizard but maybe we were mistaken all along? Was the whole thing simply a mistake by Sony or did they give away something big?
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/20773/c%20waltz.png
STAN LEE REVEALS HIS CAMEO
IS THIS GWEN ATTENDING CAPT. STACY'S FUNERAL?
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/stacy2.jpg
Unfortunately, the Amazing Spider-Man has been in the shadows of The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises in terms of fan anticipation. However, many people believe that the film could be the dark horse of next summers superhero box office battle. Personally, I'm leaning towards the ladder as I think the film's production and cast interviews have a similar tone to what we saw when the Batman Begins reboot was announced. Regardless, we'll all see how this film turns out come July 3rd.
Sony Release Two More Official Stills From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

Director Marc Webb Talks Hulu Original Series BATTLEGROUND and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; Expect a New SPIDER-MAN Trailer in the Next Month
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/marc-webb-slice.jpg
On February 14th, Hulu (http://collider.com/tag/hulu) launches their first original scripted series, called Battleground. Executive produced by J.D. Walsh, Hagai Shaham and Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man, 500 Days of Summer), the 30-minute episodes are set in the world of political campaigns in the battleground state of Wisconsin. Shot in faux documentary-style, the workplace dramedy explores the behind-the-scenes chaos of a group of campaign workers and volunteers who leave their ordinary lives for life on the campaign trail.
While at the TCA Winter Press Tour, EP Marc Webb talked about how he got involved with this project, the opportunities available in producing programming for Hulu, the similarities with independent filmmaking, how he enjoys telling stories that are fun and interesting, and his desire to direct episodes for Season 2. He also talked about shooting The Amazing Spider-Man (http://collider.com/tag/spider-man) with 3eality 3D rigs, and said that people can expect to see a new trailer within the next month. Check out what he had to say after the jump:
Question: With Battleground being Hulu’s first foray into scripted programming, how did this come about for you?
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/MARC_WEBB.pngMARC WEBB: I’m really excited to be here with Battleground, and it’s been a fun journey. A couple years ago, my friend J.D. Walsh, who I’ve known for many, many years, started talking about this idea about doing a show about campaigns. He had this whole arc worked out, over several seasons. We talked about it, and it was a very, very interesting idea. Then, I started talking about it with some of my other friends, and there was always this concern about, “Well, you can’t really do a show about politics. Politics doesn’t really play on TV.” And, J.D. and I talked about it, and he said something that stuck with me. He was like, “It’s not about politics. It’s about elections. People hate politics, but they love elections.” There is an inherent drama that you see during elections because it’s that showdown that is incredibly compelling, simple human drama. J.D. has volunteered on a lot of campaigns, so he brought a lot of that expertise and insight into the creation of this show. So, I’m really excited that it’s come to fruition in this way, and Hulu has been really fantastic.
As an indie filmmaker, how do you see the opportunities to produce new content, on something like Hulu?
WEBB: Well, Hulu is great. A lot of good drama has moved to TV, rather than the cinema. All they can do is make superhero movies. I don’t know how that worked out, but there’s a real appetite for interesting, different, experimental and adventurous shows, and Hulu is on the forefront of a different way to extend and offer content to the world. That’s really exciting. This show is a half-hour, single-camera show, which typically leans towards really funny, quirky, comedy stuff that you see on Curb Your Enthusiasm and New Girl. What J.D. did was try to create something that felt more real and that leaned into the drama a little bit, and tone was a bit part of it.
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/Battleground-15-600x400.jpgDid you find this process similar to independent filmmaking?
WEBB: Yeah. There was a real sense of that ethos, in the creation of this. It was a very personal thing, and it was a lot of people who really were committed to it, in a way that you don’t often see. That was really exciting.
Are you going to direct any episodes of this?
WEBB: I was finishing up [The Amazing Spider-Man] during this season, so I didn’t get to direct anything. J.D. did all of that.
Would you want to, for next season?
WEBB: The possibility is really exciting. I hope that will work out. That would be really great.
Were you involved with the casting?
WEBB: Yeah, we talked about it. I would consult with J.D., and we talked about the tones of the performances. But, really J.D. was the mastermind behind the whole thing.
You’ve talked about how people hate politics and like elections, but don’t elections only matter because of the policy fights and positions?
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/Battleground-03-428x600.jpgWEBB: On the small scale, I can’t tell you what Rick Perry’s view on education is, or what Santorum’s policy of financial regulation is, but I can tell you some weird stuff about them. I think that that’s unfortunately what campaigns are about now. So, we wanted to delve into that. We have a candidate who wants to talk about education, and wants to talk about issues that matter. But really, it’s all about the show. What we’re doing right now is basically a campaign, and we’re trying to show it in the best possible way.
How do you reflect on your career, at this point, having had this wonderful little indie movie, 500 Days of Summer, spawn a studio movie career and an executive producing TV career?
WEBB: It’s really wonderful to be able to tell the stories that you’ve always cared about. I think 500 Days of Summer being received in a certain way allowed me access to certain people, and people trusted my input. I’ve known J.D. since first grade. We were in the same class in first grade. I’ve always really appreciated his sensibilities, and he knows what he’s talking about. The opportunity to help him, in any way, was really great. I hope to do more of that, in the future.
Have you always had the desire to help tell other people’s stories, aside from just telling your own?
WEBB: I don’t think I had ever thought about it, in that way. It’s not mine or anybody’s, in particular. It just seemed like a good opportunity, and it was that simple. But, I will gladly hitch my caboose to J.D.’s train. That sounds really weird. I think he’s somebody that’s really, really talented, and I love to be associated with him. We’ve been friends for so long. J.D.’s mind works in a way that is really pretty extraordinary, and he’s been doing improv in Westwood for years. I was like, “Why is J.D. not doing TV, when all these other people are doing TV?” He came up with an idea and, to me, it was a no-brainer to help him along with that. J.D. has a really sophisticated understanding of media culture, but also human behavior, and he understands nuance, which is a wonderful characteristic for a director and a writer. I’m really excited for him to keep doing that.
http://collider.com/wp-content/uploads/Battleground-12-600x400.jpgWhy did Fox turn Battleground down?
WEBB: Hulu just seemed like a better partner. They didn’t turn it down. Ultimately, they just had a full schedule.
500 Days of Summer broke so many rules. Are you now more interested in telling more traditional stories?
WEBB: Oh, no. It’s whatever is fun and interesting, in the moment. That’s the stories that get told. I just want to do everything. I’m schizophrenic, when it comes to that.
You joked about too many superhero movies. Do you feel like you’re part of the problem now?
WEBB: No, I’m really excited for The Amazing Spider-Man to come out.
When can we expect to see a new trailer?
WEBB: Soon. Within the next month.
Up until the last minute, you were going to have to post-convert. How wonderful was it to have the technology from 3eality to shoot with?
WEBB: We shot with the 3eality rigs. It was great. It’s a different format, but it was really, really wonderful. And for Spider-Man, I think that’s an important thing.

The great 'Amazing Spider-Man' web-shooter debate (http://geekout.blogs.cnn.com/2012/01/19/the-great-amazing-spider-man-web-shooter-debate/)
With fan anticipation high for another glance at "The Amazing Spider-Man" (http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/20/amazing-spider-man-trailer-hits-web/) (though the stars (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/spider-man-andrew-garfield-emma-stone-kiss-japan%20-283405) didn't have much to say at a recent press conference, director Marc Webb hinted that another trailer (http://collider.com/marc-webb-battleground-spider-man-interview/138994/) for this summer's reboot of the "Spider-Man" movie franchise is on its way soon), there's a chance we may get a closer look at Spidey's mechanical web-shooters in action.
In the original comics, Peter Parker's interest in science and mechanics led to him to create his own web-shooters to go along with his spider-powers (climbing up walls, spider agility and the like). In 2002's Sam Raimi-directed "Spider-Man," Parker's web shooting ability was part of the package. This organic web-shooting power was also briefly given to Parker a few years ago in the comics.
Mechanical versus organic web-shooters has been a hot topic of debate for comic book readers for the past decade. When the new movie's co-star Emma Stone first confirmed that there would be mechanical web-shooters in this movie, many fans rejoiced. (At one point, a fan site called No-organic-webshooters.com (http://www.acidlogic.com/no_organic_webshooters.htm) existed.)
One reader at Screenrant.com (http://screenrant.com/spider-man-3d-web-shooters-rob-96747/), posted "Organic wasn’t in my comics; don’t want it in my movie, don’t care what this 'PC' world thinks."
Another replied, "It just does not make sense when a teenage kid invents something like that, and it's better if he actually [has] the superhuman ability to shoot webs." (A similar argument was made by a fan (http://blog.newsarama.com/2011/07/14/new-amazing-spider-man-photos-gwen-stacy-and-mechanical-webshooters/) on a thread at Newsarama.com.)
A Superherohype.com reader posited (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?p=22296147), "I hate the whole idea of organic webbing ... plus, it should be under his tongue!" (There's one for the super-scientific take on it!)
Entertainment Weekly (http://popwatch.ew.com/2011/02/15/the-amazing-spider-man-mechanical-web-shooters/) has also come out strongly in favor of mechanical web-shooters.
They're not alone. Brian Michael Bendis, creator of the wildly successful "Ultimate Spider-Man" comic book series, told CNN Geek Out that he argued for mechanical web-shooters when he met with many of the people behind the new movie.
"It looked to me like I was a deciding vote about the movie," he said.
"They had a surprisingly high-end meeting of Amy Pascal [chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment], the producers, director and everyone, and sat me down and pop quizzed me on all things Spider-Man. A big debate was about organic versus mechanical web-shooters. Because I have always been a practitioner of mechanical web-shooters, Amy asked me why you use mechanical web-shooters. I said, because the genius of Peter Parker, that he was able to invent these things that he needed. It says who he is, and what kind of person he might have become if not for the spider-powers."
The reaction, said Bendis, was quite telling: "People who agreed with me were banging the table saying, 'Huh? See?' and others were shaking their heads. You could see this was a huge debate. I'm not saying I was [I]the deciding vote, but now that they went with mechanical web-shooters, I felt pretty good about it."
Webb also told The Los Angeles Times (http://herocomplex.latimes.com/2011/08/01/amazing-spider-man-director-why-the-web-shooters-are-back/) that he had a conversation with Spidey co-creator Stan Lee, where the web-shooters came up.
"The web-shooters were able to dramatize Peter’s intellect, and I thought that was really cool," Webb told the Times.
So, does that settle it? Or is there still a good argument to be made for organic web-shooters? Share your view in the comments below.
New Plot Synopsis Reveals A Few Extra Details About THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/53407.jpg A new plot synopsis has surfaced for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, revealing a few extra details about Peter's journey to discover his parents' secrets and how this sets him on a collision course with Oscorp and the Lizard. [/URL]
As Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) continue their tour around the globe with new footage from The Amazing Spider-Man and Q&A sessions, [URL="http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2012-01-17/news-interviews/30634855_1_spider-man-peter-parker-andrew-garfield"]The Times Of India (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=JoshWilding) has released a new plot synopsis which they claim comes directly from the studio.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/8786767667.jpg
The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
Nothing too revealing here, although it does confirm a few previously heard rumors and topics brought up in interviews. With Oscorp clearly playing a significant role in the upcoming reboot, this also leaves one very important question: Where is Norman Osborn, a.k.a. the Green Goblin? With no casting news of any sort, whether he'll be shrouded in mystery (a la Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes) only to be revealed as the villain in a future instalment remains to be seen. Sound off with your thoughts in the usual spot.

Marc Webb Talks THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN In Detail
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/54099.jpg Talking in detail about the character and tone of The Amazing Spider-Man, check out this new interview with the director Marc Webb where he also discusses the 3D sequences, humor and much more. [/URL]
Thanks to our friends over at [URL="http://latino-review.com/2012/02/04/marc-webb-dishes-the-amazing-spider-man-tidbits/"]Latino Review (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=JoshWilding), we have the following transcription of a revealing new interview with director Marc Webb taken from this year's Comic-Con Annual. Be sure to click on the link for more and stay tuned to CBM on Monday as I'll be bringing you all the details from The Amazing Spider-Man sneak peek taking place in London.
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/2387192.jpg
You came out with a new poster in December that said "The Untold Story" on it. Is that the untold story you’re looking to tell?
That’s part of the untold story certainly. It’s really important for us to be able to communicate that this isn’t a remake of Sam Raimi’s movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931). There’s a new territory, there’s a new villain, it’s a different Peter Parker.
Why did you feel Gwen Stacy was the way to go as opposed to Mary Jane?
We’ve seen Mary Jane. I also think that Gwen Stacy is a young scientifically minded woman who’s super smart, maybe even a little bit smarter than Peter at times. I like that dynamic, that there was a rivalry between the two of them in some way. And I think Emma and Andrew’s chemistry really describes that in a fun, very intimate way.
Looking at the trailers and the poster, this film (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=film&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) seems to have a bit of a darker tone to it, yet Spidey has always been a wisecracking, fun kind of super-hero. Are you able to maintain that humor in your film (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=film&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931)?
There’s this trickster quality we were very keen on exploring, with that humor and that fun and that wisecracking stuff. We wanted to keep that alive, but we wanted it to be realistic. We wanted that humor to come from a real place. My aim was to create a world where you could feel all those emotions. There are certainly darker, more intense feelings in this movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931). There is betrayal, there is tragedy, but there’s also humor and romance. So it’s a very complex bouquet of emotions, but what you have to tread on is what feels authentic and what feels real, and you have to earn those different emotions. There are moments of furiousness and gravity, absolutely. But are there moments of humor and levity and whimsy? Absolutely. Andrew was really great. He used this term to describe Peter Parker in Spider-Man and Spider-Man in particular: he’s a trickster. He was like “How would Spider-Man web this guy? He’d give him a wedgy or he’d dos some awful graffiti.” There’s a punk rock quality to Peter Parker that’s really irreverent and fun and that’s something that Andrew embodies in a way that we haven’t seen before. Certainly the materials that have come out have a darker sentiment or there’s a darker projection, but we’re very keen on staying loyal to the humor of Spider-Man.
It seems the way Spider-Man is, his powers and the way he moves, would really lend itself to 3D.
When we first talked about it, it was in the heyday of 3D and there was a lot of craziness about it. But it was never forced upon us. I thought if there’s ever a movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) that should be in 3D, it’s Spider-Man for crying out loud. And watching it in 3D, particularly in IMAX, even the early stuff I’ve seen, it’s fantastic. You get a visceral feeling that you don’t get any other way when you have good 3D. We shot this all in stereo so it was native 3D. Nothing has been converted. And when you get that scope, the movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) gradually expands. It starts off in a very intimate, small way and gradually expands to take advantage of that sensation. So do you have to see it in 3D? No, you’ll still get the thrill of it. But those point-of-view sequences, those came very directly from a philosophy about putting the audience in Spider-Man’s shoes. We wanted them to feel what he feels, and that’s where those sequences came from.
The villain, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors.
The Welshman. He’s fantastic. He brings a surly sophistication. Curt Connors is a friend of Peter Parker. He is an ally who evolves into an adversary, but Peter always cares deeply for Dr. Connors. Rhys has tow sides to his personality. He has a wonderful kindness and warmth, and he has this surly rock ‘n’ roll part of his personality and you really sense both of those in this movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931).
Another Promo Image From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/54095.jpg Consisting of a mixture of old and new live action (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=action&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) images, hit the jump to check out yet another piece of promo art for The Amazing Spider-Man. With only a couple of days to go until "The Untold Story Begins" it's a good time to be a Spidey fan.
The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

Six Minutes Footage Description From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/54191.jpg Thanks to the guys over at Omelete, we've got an earlier description of a six minutes footage that was screened over at the Comic Book event KingCon Rio(which is part of the worldwide event prometed by Sony) last weekend. [/URL]
[URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/692/hrtheamazingspiderman29.jpg/"]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/2592/hrtheamazingspiderman29.jpg (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=Lucaxmen)
The folks over at Omelete (http://omelete.uol.com.br/homem-aranha-amazing-spider-man/cinema/o-espetacular-homem-aranha-assistimos-trechos-do-filme-saiba-o-que-esperar-do-reboot) promoted the KingCon Rio Comic Book event(which is part of the worldwide event prometed by Sony) this weeked on Rio De Janeiro. The event had the presence of Emma Stone and the producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. During the event they screened the new trailer for the movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) and six minutes of footage, which you can read the description below:
"The six minutes of scenes that we've watched this weekend showed a really different Spidey from the first grade. The idea seems to show how Peter Parker already had a hero soul before having his powers: the first scene shows how he became enemy of the school bully, Flash Thompson: the bully is rubbing the face of a skinny boy in his food, when he sees Peter and says "take a picture of this, Parker!". Peter refuses and asks Flash that let his coleague go - just to become the target of a violent fight.
The next scene goes forward on time - when Peter seems to already have his powers - and shows him getting revenge on Flash, holding him by his shirt collar and acting in a similar manner as the bully, what gives him a visit to the the principal's office. Comes in scene the always wise - and fun - Uncle Ben(Martin Sheen). "Your bad behavior made me lose a day of work. What did I told you about power and responsability?", he argues with his nephew in the middle of the empty school. But Gwen Stacy(Emma Stone) comes. Satisfied with the scolding, Uncle Ben decides to mock him: "hey, isn't that the girl I saw on your computer? HEY! You're on his computer!", says with a smile, before leaving. Then a sequence that looks straight from (500) Days of Summer comes up, with Peter and Gwen flirting in an absolutely fun way, saying things that makes absolutely no sense. Stone is amazing as Gwen Stacy... looks like the character version of John Romita(senior) - and moves exactly like I imagined that Romita's Gwen would move.
Andrew Garfield Parker seems more serious, but his Spider-Man is exactly like in the comics. The action (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=action&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) scenes ended the clip and showed him finding out about his powers, agile and making jokes all the time. Lot of the scenes were not finalized, showing the actor being trown in the air with cables and landing. The final sequences had Doctor Curt Connors(Rhys Ifans) and his arrogance, taking advantage of Peter knowledge(which appears in several scenes as the science genius he is on the comics, including working with his web-shoters and costume) to finalize his formula to grow a new arm. It doesn't take too long to see the Lizard, resulting from this experience, appearing in brief scenes(he is extremaly like the toy photos that have been around.)"

Below we have Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors. We will try to find some better images to update with..

Marc Webb Reveals Even More Drastic Changes To Spider-Man's Origin Story
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/57691.jpg No wrestling match and possibly no radioactive spider either. Following the reveal that Uncle Ben's death won't play too drastic a role in Peter Parker's decision to become Spider-Man, director Marc Webb now lets slip even more shocking changes to the well-known origin story. [/URL]
http://comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/10300/2862873829.jpg"I wanted to give the audience something new, so that started off with getting underneath the parents' story, which will unfold over probably a few movies," director Marc Webb told [URL="http://splashpage.mtv.com/2012/04/10/amazing-spider-man-origin/"]MTV Splash Page (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=JoshWilding) in a recent interview. "We don't totally wrap up that story in this first movie. It's sort of an ongoing mystery. That was something that was interesting to me."
So far, so good, right? Well, in news which is sure to leave most hardcore Spider-Man fans fuming, Webb went on to reveal that they are completely removing an important moment from Peter Parker's journey to becoming the superhero. "This is probably a reveal, but there is no wrestling match in this movie. The character is evolving in a different way. It's about finding a balance between iconic elements of the 'Spider-Man' mythology—like how Uncle Ben's death transforms him emotionally—but it happens in a different way."
And that's not all! He added, "He's bitten by a spider, but maybe it's not a radioactive spider. Or maybe it is! You'll have to see. There are elements that we were very conscious of, but it all emanated from [the idea of] this kid who got left behind by his parents many, many years before. I thought that was interesting enough for me to explore."
While changes such as the removal of the wrestling match are sure to upset fanboys, we DID see all of that faithfully recreated in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man. Does it REALLY matter that the reboot will take things in a different direction? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.

TASM: Marc Webb On Spidey's Redesigned Costume
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/57998.jpg The director of the upcoming reboot reveals the reason behind Spider-Man (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man_movies/)'s distinctly "homemade" looking outfit, which many fans have had a few problems with..
The first images of Andrew Garfield in his new Spider-Man outfit were met with a bit of a mixed response from fans, and although many have since gotten used to his new look, there are still those who have some problems with it - especially around the feet area. I'm sure you have noticed that Spidey looks to have incorporated a pair of trainers into his red and blue suprehero ensemble, and the reason it looks that way is..he has! While speaking to Total Film the director of The Amazing Spider-Man, Marc Webb, reveals why the suit looks the way it does, and how offers a few details on how Peter Parker went about putting it together..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/spideymain.png
The all important red-and-blue outfit went through various (re)designs - but crucial to them all, according to Webb, was that they had to look like they were made by one student and his sowing machine.
"His eyes are popped-out lenses from his sunglasses and his feet are threads from shoes. We thought about what material Peter would have access to"
So there you have it. If you were curious as to why Spidey looks the way he does in this movie, it's all part of keeping things a bit more "grounded" I guess. Personally the look has grown on me, but I must admit I preferred the old Raimi design. How bout you guys?

Still nothing special really is it? I mean they're fine posters but I'm hoping they release one with more characters at some point. Anyway, in the mean time here is the latest one featuring Spidey in one of his favorite places - stuck to the side of a building..

TASM: Rhys Ifans On Playing The Lizard; Discusses His Audition Scene
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/58454.jpg The Welshman shares some info on the chaotic scene he auditioned for the part of Curt Connors with, and also talks about recognizing himself up on the screen for the first time as The Lizard.. [/URL]
In the latest issue of Total Film Rhys Ifans speaks about his role as Dr. Curt Connors - and his reptilian alter ego - in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. The actor describes the feeling of seeing the special effects in [URL="http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=action&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931"]action (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=RorMachine) as he is "mo-capped" into The Lizard on the screen. Also, when discussing his audition he reveals that Connors will be having just a bit of a hard time of things in the movie..
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images/uploads/the-lizard.jpg
TF: How did you feel, seeing yourself as The Lizard?
RI: I thought, "What a night. That's up there with the biggest, that is..". I was thrilled. Beforehand, part of me dreaded the thought of sitting in a make up char for eight hours a day, but that wasn't the case at all. They did so many scans of my face I felt like a dartboard. The chilling thing is, in the clips I've seen, I recognize myself.
TF: What scene did you do for your audition?
RI: It was a moment where Dr Curt Connors is having a nervous breakdown, to say the least. I just went for it and ended up a quivering wreck on the office floor. They were obviously pleased but I didn't think for one second I'd get the part.
Guess Who Else Contributed To THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN's Script?
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/articles/58482.jpg James Vanderbilt (Zodiac), Alvin Sargent (Spider-Man 3) and Steve Kloves (Harry Potter) will all get writing credits, but it turns out that The Amazing Spider-Man's screenplay had a little help from a well known comedy director. Hit the jump to find out who. [/URL]

Last year, Bridesmaids was a bigger hit than anyone could have possibly imagined, receiving almost unanimous critical acclaim and becoming a hit at the box office after opening up at a strong #2 behind THOR. The film was directed by Paul Feig, who let slip a very interesting piece of information while talking to [URL="http://www.vulture.com/2012/04/paul-feig-wrote-some-of-amazing-spider-man.html"]Vulture (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=JoshWilding) at the Tribeca Film Festival on Sunday. "I'm looking forward to The Amazing Spider-Man," he said, adding that he's such a good friend of director Marc Webb, he actually ended up making a contribution to the film's script. "He's a great guy, he invited me on set, and I did a little bit of writing for that movie, for one of the high school scenes, so I'm excited." What do you guys think? Sound off with your thoughts in the usual place.
If anyone was curious about the "shoes" for the costume they are Asic Dirt Dog 3s :cheers:
Alex Kurtzman And Roberto Orci Hired To Write THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Sequel
News has just broke that Sony will have Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci write the sequel to Marc Webb's Summer blockbuster movie (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=movie&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) The Amazing Spider-Man. [/URL]
http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/22178/theamazingspiderman.jpg
According to [URL="http://www.deadline.com/2012/04/alex-kurtzman-roberto-orci-writing-sequel-to-amazing-spider-man/"]Deadline (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/profiles/?u=WaylonJones) Sony has tapped Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman to pen the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man. The duo's latest collaboration is the now filming Star Trek sequel. They also wrote the first Star Trek film for J.J. Abrams as well as Michael Bay's first Transformers movie. "Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action (http://www.powerlinks.com/api/powerlink-click-custom?id=63&keyword=action&advertiser_intext_ad_id=15&campaign_id=931) that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man. They’ve been friends of ours for a long time and they have an exciting take on the franchise – we’re thrilled to have them join the Spider-Man family," said Producer Matt Tolmach. The film's other producer Avi Arad echoed Tolmach's excitement by saying, "It's a thrill to have Alex and Bob put their stamp on this franchise that we all love so well. They have an innate understanding of what makes Peter Parker not just a superhero, but a hero for all of us." Both Kurtzman and Orci released this joint statement, "We grew up as huge Spider-Man fans so, to us, the opportunity to work on this film is akin to being handed the Holy Grail. We love the direction Sony and the filmmakers are taking the Peter Parker/Spider-Man mythology and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of this legendary franchise." The two are also set to receive Executive Producer credits on the film as well.
There is no indication on what the story will be for the film. Marc Webb's tale of Spider-Man is another origin story for the character that will slightly differ from the more conventional telling. There is also no mention on who will be the main villain for the story. As it is well known Spidey will battle it out with Dr. Curt Connor's The Lizard in the first film that is due to be out this July.
We've Cracked The Amazing Spider-Man's Viral Message!
Share this story

It's been over two months since the viral marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man (http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/170369-weve-cracked-the-amazing-spider-mans-viral-message#) led to Peter Parker's backpack turning up (http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/169549-the-amazing-spider-man-viral-hunt-begins) at different locations across the country. Today, the viral website MarkoftheSpider-Man.com (http://markofthespider-man.com/) updated with their own photos of Mr. Parker's bookbag in a new section called Baggage Claim (http://markofthespider-man.com/baggageclaim/index.html). Here, though, Peter's notebook has two pages that didn't appear before, revealing a cypher made of different spider designs.
SuperHeroHype is proud to report that we've just managed to crack the code. The question is now, "where will the message take us?". As you can see below, the spiders read:
SOMETIMES THE FACE IN THE

UPDATE: Further clues have led to the discovery of a new viral website, www.parkerspov.com (http://www.parkerspov.com/), which seems to be a photography blog updated by Peter Parker himself. Check out of the many images at the link which include this one featuring Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy as a member of the Midtown Science High debate club. The mystery seems to be getting deeper and the clues more numerous, so check back for details as they're uncovered! (Thanks to the ARG players at the Unfiction (http://www.unfiction.com/) forums for their continued help in deciphering the viral!)

New Promo Images Of Andrew Garfield As THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
