Just yesterday we sheared a couple new images from The Amazing Spider-Man that gave us a nice look at villain The Lizard courtesy of some scans from the latest issue of EW.  Now EW has released a batch of official images online, including a few new ones showcasing Andrew Garfield’s Peter Parker and Emma Stone’s Gwen Stacey getting all cuddly.  Also included is a nice behind-the-scenes shot of Garfield and Stone hooked up to a wire rig while Garfield shows off his super romantic swinging skills.

New Featurette for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Turns the Spotlight on Director Marc Webb

by Matt Currie    Posted: May 15th, 2012 at 3:12 pm

A day after the 4-minute “super preview” for The Amazing Spider-Man showcased the film’s explosive, high-flying spectacle, we’re being treated to something a bit more intimate. Director Marc Webb, relating his Sony NEX camera-sponsored ”makedotbelieve story,” gives us a little insight into his filmmaking process—the importance of protecting your core notion of what this film is, allowing for inspiration, what it’s like watching words on a page come to life. There’s also plenty of behind-the-scenes footage of Webb interacting with his cast and crew.

Hit the jump to check it out. Prior to catching the third trailer for the film, I was still pretty “meh” on this particular reboot. Since then, it’s been a firm #3 on my list of the year’s need-to-see superhero flicks (prove me wrong, Dredd). The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  It opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Two New Posters for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 15th, 2012 at 10:55 am

Two new posters for director Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man have gone online.  Last night we got a look at an extended 4-minute trailer for the film, and I have to admit that the opening scene definitely got me; I think Brendan summed up Andrew Garfield’s performance perfectly when he called the actor “soulful.”  These new posters are pretty nifty as well, with one highlighting Spidey’s view from on high and another sporting the film’s unofficial tagline, “The Untold Story Begins.”

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The film also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man opens on July 3rd.

As part of the ongoing viral campaign for The Amazing Spider-Man, two new clips have surfaced: one features Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors recruiting interns for Oscorp Industries while the other is a behind-the-scenes with Ifans and director Marc Webb. The second video might interest fans a bit more since the duo talk about Doc Connors/The Lizard and even show some nice shots of Ifans’ Jekyll and Hyde transformation.  Expect much more from The Amazing Spider-Man over the next couple of months, like this recent pic Tweeted by Webb.  Click here to check out Tobey Maguire’s interview with star Andrew Garfield, and click here for the new trailer.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Director Marc Webb Joins Twitter; Shares New Image from the Film

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 11th, 2012 at 1:31 pm

Ah, the digital age.  Suddenly a director of a major superhero movie joining Twitter is newsworthy.  Marc Webb, the man behind this summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man, has not only started up a Twitter account, but his first Tweet is a pretty cool image of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker striking a pose high above the ground.  It’s a nice image, and it’s obvious that this isn’t an official still but is probably from Webb’s personal collection of photos.  Hopefully this is the first of many intimate looks behind-the-scenes of the shoot, as I think it’s nice to sometimes get a peek at the actors from a big blockbuster in candid shots before all that color-correction and gloss.

Hit the jump to check out the image.  Click here to check out Tobey Maguire’s interview with Garfield, and click here for the new trailer. The film also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Marc Webb Talks New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Trailer, Running Time, the 3D, the Lizard, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: May 3rd, 2012 at 4:00 pm

Yesterday afternoon, Collider was invited, along with a handful of other outlets, to see the new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, due out in theaters on July 3^rd.  With summer movie season ramping up and so many highly anticipated blockbusters closer to their release dates, movie lovers are anxious for any glimpses they can get, and the spectacle in this re-imagined tale certainly promises a fun thrill ride.  The cool thing about the trailer is that it also showcases the humanity, humor and romance while clearly having been designed for 3D.

After the trailer, director Marc Webb took some time to answer questions about the footage in the trailer and the film, overall.  He talked about how much better the point of view looks now, the process for bringing The Lizard to life, balancing the spectacle with the humanity, finding the humor, playing the 3D as depth, whether he felt pressure to deliver another iconic kiss, that the final cut of the film is locked at about two hours (regardless of what’s been reported), and that he hasn’t been involved with anything having to do with a sequel, at this point.  He also shared his thoughts on The Hobbit being shot in 48 fps.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

Two New Posters for THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Feature Battle-Damage Spidey

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 1st, 2012 at 11:45 am

The superheroic summer season kickstarts with The Avengers this weekend, but other heroes are vying for attention.  The Dark Knight Rises put a bat-dent in The Avengers headlines by dropping an incredible trailer late last night and now The Amazing Spider-Man is hoping to snare some looks with two new posters.  We’ve recently posted clips, an international trailer, other posters and a couple sets of new images, but these new posters have an additional wrinkle: they both feature a suited-up Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) with extensive battle damage to his costume. I wonder who could have done that…

Director Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man also stars Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen and Sally Field and opens July 3rd.  Hit the jump to check out the new posters.

Sony CinemCon 2012 Video Blog Recap Includes World Premiere of SKYFALL Teaser and New Footage from LOOPER, TOTAL RECALL and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 26th, 2012 at 9:35 am

When Sony took the stage at CinemaCon 2012 yesterday afternoon in Las Vegas, they had a short one hour window to show off their various upcoming movies.  As we sat in the darkened theater waiting for the presentation to begin, we debated how could they have the stars and filmmakers talk about their movies and also show off tons of footage.  But rather than follow the typical studio roadmap, Sony decided to just show a non-stop sizzle reel sans movie stars that included the world premiere of Skyfall footage (a teaser trailer) and tons of new footage from all their 2012 films included The Amazing Spider-Man, Total Recall, Looper, Resident Evil: Retribution, Hope Springs, Premium Rush, Hotel Transylvania, Sparkle, That’s My Boy, and Men in Black 3.  More after the jump.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN International Trailer Reveals New Footage

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 15th, 2012 at 1:52 pm

While Marvel’s current focus is on the upcoming superhero assembly film, The Avengers, they haven’t lost sight of their friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.  The one-two punch of The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man will certainly go a few rounds before DC’s The Dark Knight Rises lands the knockout blow later this summer.  In the meantime, you can take a break from all of our Avengers coverage and take a look at this new international trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, which features new footage, including an extended fight sequence and some nice, quieter moments of Peter Parker both with his Aunt May and his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Director Marc Webb Says Spidey’s Origin Story Will Stretch Beyond THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 10th, 2012 at 12:36 pm

The ads for the Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man, are billing the film as “The Untold Story”.  The wall-crawler’s origin story is being changed up, and director Marc Webb has taken on a slightly darker tone with his film adaptation of the popular superhero.  Webb has now revealed that the new origin story won’t be contained to one movie.

Hit the jump for more details.  The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man opens in 3D on July 3rd.

Emma Stone and Marc Webb Talk THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, Honoring the Marvel Icon, and Why Andrew Garfield is the Perfect Spider-Man

by Christina Radish    Posted: March 20th, 2012 at 12:28 pm

With its July 3^rd release date quickly approaching, it wasn’t a surprise that The Amazing Spider-Man had a panel presentation at WonderCon 2012 with actress Emma Stone (aka Gwen Stacy) and director Marc Webb. This gritty and grounded take on Peter Parker’s origin story and evolution into Spider-Man is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the summer.

Prior to their panel presentation (read Dave’s recap here), Emma Stone and Marc Webb talked to the press about the idea that Spider-Man is bigger than any one person, honoring the iconography of the story and character while still making it their own movie, living up to fan expectations, what they’re hoping to explore with the relationship between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and Gwen Stacy, why they decided to return to the origin story, and what made Andrew Garfield the perfect Spider-Man. Check out what they had to say after the jump.

Director Marc Webb Talks THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN; Reveals Running Time, an Awesome Donald Glover Easter Egg, and More

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 17th, 2012 at 9:38 pm

Just a few hours ago I sat down with The Amazing Spider-Man director Marc Webb for an extended interview at WonderCon in Anaheim.  During the wide ranging conversation we talked about editing the movie, deleted scenes, the music, what he learned from screening the movie, the running time, and a lot more.  Here’s a few of the things I learned:

• If anyone remembers Donald Glover’s Twitter campaign to play Spider-Man, Webb said Andrew Garfield put a Donald Glover picture in Peter Parker’s bedroom!
• The movie will probably be around two-hours long.
• When asked about Easter Eggs, Webb said “there are moments, there are distant mountains as J.R.R. Tolkien says that refer to…that are little winks and we’ll see if the audience likes it enough maybe they’ll get another movie.”
• Webb learned after the first screening for friends and family that people really liked that the movie was funny, so they made sure to enhance it.
• Regarding his use of 3D, Webb says some things were created to pop out of the screen, but his main goal was to enhance the sensations of velocity, volume, and vertigo with 3D.
• Webb wanted to use a lot of practical effects to create a world that felt more grounded and realistic.
• Says he already has a few deleted scenes that are fun but just don’t belong in the movie for various reasons.
• Webb reveals that he just heard James Horner’s first cue for the film and he calls it “spectacular.”  I also tried to find out what songs would be in the movie and if he went after any bands, but Webb just smiled and wouldn’t answer.

WonderCon 2012: LOOPER, THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, and 21 JUMP STREET Presentations Added

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 29th, 2012 at 2:21 pm

Just the other day, the full schedule for this year’s WonderCon was announced including presentations for Resident Evil: Retribution, Sound of My Voice, Battleship, Snow White and the Huntsman, Lockout and Community. It’s a pretty fantastic lineup, and now WonderCon 2012 has gotten even better. Today Sony has added The Amazing Spider-Man and Rian Johnson’s Looper to their panel (which already included Resident Evil) and a special presentation for 21 Jump Street has been announced. Fans should be getting a really good look at new Spider-Man stuff, and I’m insanely jealous of anyone seeing footage from the highly anticipated sci-fi pic Looper.

Director Marc Webb and Emma Stone will be onhand for Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield opens on Broadway in Death of a Salesman that night), while writer-director Rian Johnson and star Joseph Gordon-Levitt will present the first footage from Looper. Hit the jump for more info regarding these newly added panels. WonderCon 2012 takes place in Anaheim, California March 16th – 18th.

First Clip from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 18th, 2012 at 10:11 am

Sony has released the first clip for The Amazing Spider-Man and it shows Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) squaring off against one of his toughest opponents. Note that I said Peter Parker and not Spider-Man, because you won’t see any CG sewer battles against the Lizard (Rhys Ifans) or high-flying web-slinging through the streets of New York. Instead of thrills, the clip tries to highlight the levity of Marc Webb’s (500 Days of Summer) version of Peter Parker/Spider-Man while at the same time paying homage to the Sam Raimi vision. The Amazing Spider-Man swings into theaters on July 3^rd. Hit the jump to see if the clip strikes the right chord.
