Another day, another collection of new photos from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.  One of the photos is from director Marc Webb‘s Twitter feed, and shows a futuristic room the director has labeled as “the future”.  In the future, people just leave their clothes and gun strewn about.  At least there’s the digital lock by the door, and hopefully the security has been upgraded from the first film where anyone was welcome as long as they could solve a puzzle (a.k.a. “Bridge Troll Security”).

There’s also some leaked photos from the set, and as you’ll see Spider-Man has a very important call to take.  If this is his cell phone, your guess is as good as mine as to where he keeps it on his skin-tight costume.  Hit the jump to check out the images.  The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaanShailene WoodleyPaul GiamattiFelicity JonesChris Cooper, and Sally FieldThe Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in 3D on May 2, 2014.

Spidey and Paul Giamatti’s Rhino Square Off in New Images from the Set of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

by     Posted: May 13th, 2013 at 1:25 pm

Another batch of images from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 have landed online, and they appear to be a continuation of the sequence that was snapped yesterday involving Spidey, a bus, and Paul Giamatti’s villain Rhino.  In these new images, Andrew Garfield’s titular character comes face-to-face with Giamatti’s villainous Rhino and the two become involved in a bit of a skirmish that ends, well, somewhat cartoonishly.

Hit the jump to take a look at the images.  The film also stars Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, and Sally Field.  The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in 3D on May 2, 2014.

Spidey Has to Catch a Bus in New Set Photos from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

The set photos from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 continue to roll in.  This past weekend, director Marc Webb gave us an official look at Paul Giamatti as The Rhino, and now we not only have more images of tattooed Giamatti, but Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield) engaging in some superheroics.  That bus full of innocent passengers will most likely be saved unless Webb is considering a dastardly twist where Spider-Man lets it fall on the little girl.  In all fairness, she is wearing a stupid-looking backpack.

Marc Webb is a talented director, but his true talent may lie in tweeting.  Webb has tweeted a number of great behind-the-scenes photos from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2.  The latest Webb tweets give us a much clearer introduction to Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Sytsevich (aka the Rhino) after a grainy set photo previewed the makeup.

Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Dane DeHaanShailene WoodleyPaul GiamattiFelicity JonesChris Cooper, and Sally Field also star.  The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens May 2, 2014.  See the full image after the jump.

New THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Set Photos Possibly Reveal Major Spoiler

[If you aren't familiar with the most well-known Spider-Man comic stories, you should probably just stop reading now] Comic book adaptations don’t require strict adherence to the comics.  In Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man, the director took one of the comics’ defining stories—”The Death of Gwen Stacy”—and re-appropriated so that Green Goblin dropped Mary Jane off the bridge instead of Gwen Stacy, and Spider-Man saved his falling love-interest instead of accidentally snapping her neck due to the speed of acceleration being suddenly halted by his web-line.  So the question that hangs over The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is if director Marc Webb will follow The Amazing Spider-Man #121-122 (June–July 1973), “The Night Gwen Stacy Died”.  New set photos may have the answer.

Possible First Look at the Rhino from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

We’ve already seen that Electro (Jamie Foxx) will be a colorful villain in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but he’s not the only baddie lurking about.  Paul Giamatti was cast as the Rhino, a kind of silly character in the comics who wore a super-powered suit that resembled a rhino (it’s grey and the helmet has horns) and smashed stuff until Spidey came to save the day.  The Rhino’s real name is “Aleksei Sytsevich”, and if you want to have a Russian bad guy, take the visual shortcut and deck him out in a track suit and prison tattoos.  Set video has reportedly been taken of a stunt driver sporting this look who is apparently wearing a Giamatti mask.  The scene involves a tow truck dragging an Oscorp truck and crashing through police cars.

The deluge of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 set photos continues.  Last week, we got our first official look at Jamie Foxx in his non-Electro form, and these unofficial set photos provide more shots of the antagonist and his atrocious hairstyle.  I’ll caution that these set photos are moving us closer to understanding the character’s arc and his relationship to Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield), so spoiler-phobes should consider themselves warned.  Director Marc Webb has also released a couple of innocuous set photos, and we’ve thrown those in as well.

With production currently underway in New York on director Marc Webb’s sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we’ve seen our fair share of grainy set photos.  We hadn’t really gotten a look at anything super revealing, but then last week images surfaced of a very different looking Jamie Foxx as the pic’s villain Electro.  The actor was covered head to toe in blue body paint and was sporting some luminous markings on his skin, making for a rather unique take on the comics character.  Now that those images are out there, Webb has decided to share some official images of the actor in character as well as our first look at Dane DeHaan as Harry Osborn.

More Photos from THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Including Jamie Foxx as Electro

Yesterday, we got our first look at Jamie Foxx as a very blue Electro in Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man 2.  Today, more set photos have surfaced to show the villain wearing a parka, and it could be part of the costume since the set photos also show co-stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in winter coats.  It’s also possible that he’s wearing it to cover up his costume to prevent it from being seen in leaked set photos such as these.

First Look at Jamie Foxx as Electro in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

Jamie Foxx blue himself.  Set photos of Foxx as The Amazing Spider-Man 2‘s villainous Electro have leaked online, and they are somewhat surprising.  Foxx commented on the look of his character back in December saying that the costume would be black, and the filmmakers wanted “to try new things, like a liquid rubber and things like that, and there are all these bolts and stuff in my arms when they are hanging me upside down and trying to figure out what happened.”  That still didn’t prepare us for the look of his clearly mutated character.  The scene appears to take place before Electro gets his full costume, but the hoodie looks like it has tracking dots to add special effects in post production.

New Behind-the-Scenes Images from THE WOLVERINE and THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2

by     Posted: April 10th, 2013 at 11:11 am

Some new behind-the-scenes images from two highly anticipated summer movies (one in 2013 and one in 2014) have made their way online.  First up, director James Mangold has shared some fascinating behind-the-scenes look at his sequel The Wolverine.  The images give us a look at the big-budget production, specifically unveiling a peek at how Mangold crafted that nifty-looking bullet train action sequence and a couple other interesting scenes.

Additionally, director Marc Webb has shared a rather tantalizing image from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which is currently in production in New York City.  Webb prefaced the photo by noting that it’s a look at some destruction from Jamie Foxx’s Electro, and it appears that the villain will be very skilled at causing fires.  Hit the jump to take a look at the images.  The Wolverine opens in 3D on July 26th and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hits theaters in 3D on May 2, 2014.

Storyboards and Concept Art from Sam Raimi’s SPIDER-MAN 4

spider-man-4-storyboard-art-slice

Spider-Man 4 will always be one of those great “What if?” films.  What if Sam Raimi had a chance to redeem himself from Spider-Man 3?  What if we had gotten to see John Malkovich as Vulture and Anne Hathaway as Black Cat?  We’ll never know, but the artifacts remain.  Storyboard artist Jefrey Henderson has released storyboard he did for Spider-Man 4, and while they’re far from anything official (the script was still being worked on when Sony pulled the plug), I am curious about the demon/goblin thing being tossed by Spidey.  The three boards are the only thing Henderson felt he could post without upsetting Raimi, so they’re pretty innocuous (Peter kissing a woman, and using a web to stop falling debris), but perhaps there’s more exciting stuff out there and one day we’ll get to see it.

During the development process, director Marc Webb made the decision to shoot the entirety of his sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in New York.  While Webb and company will certainly be using the city to their advantage, there’s one place that they can’t exactly close down in order to film for a few weeks: Times Square.  As a result, a giant Times Square set has been constructed for what we can only assume is one of the film’s action set-pieces, and now some photos have surfaced online that give us a peek into the location.

Filming is currently underway in New York City on director Marc Webb’s sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Webb has been keeping fans up to date on the production with regular photo teases on his Twitter account.  Though most of them are either of crew members or innocuous pieces of the set, today he shared a picture from Oscorp that reveals that The Office star BJ Novak has a role in the follow-up.  Novak has a knack for popping up in unexpected features as he previously nabbed a role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, and it’ll be interesting to see what kind of character he plays in the Spider-Man follow-up.

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick Talk About Their VENOM Script, Which They Describe as “Dark and Soul Searchy”; Say It’s Unlikely to Move Forward

One of the most popular and widely known characters from the Spider-Man universe is undoubtedly Venom.  When Sam Raimi’s feature film adaptation of Spider-Man hit theaters in 2002 and become a massive success, fans started speculating about when/if we would see the Venom character pop up in a subsequent sequel.  Despite Raimi’s reluctance to use the character, Venom eventually made an appearance in Spider-Man 3, after which Sony started working on a spinoff film for the villain.  Though the pic has yet to actually come to fruition, a few scripts for a Venom movie have been written, including a couple drafts by Zombieland scribes Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.

Steve recently spoke with Reese and Wernick in anticipation of the release of the sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which they wrote, and the duo talked about their proposed Venom film.  The two talked briefly about their take on the character and how it’s unlikely that their iteration of the script will get made, also teasing a pretty great sequence from their proposed Venom movie.  Hit the jump to read on.
