'Amazing Spider-Man' Blu-ray: Finding the next Peter Parker -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

Sandwiched in between The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises this past summer, The Amazing Spider-Man was practically overshadowed — that is, if you can possibly say such things about a film that made more than $750 million worldwide. Not too shabby for a reboot just five years after the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire trilogy concluded. Directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer), Spider-Man was a more grounded superhero blockbuster, anchored by Andrew Garfield’s more modest Peter Parker.

The movie arrives on Blu-ray tomorrow, and in this exclusive behind the scenes clip from the Blu-ray, Webb and the late producer Laura Ziskin explain how they settled on Garfield, who had wowed audiences in The Social Network. “We looked at every possible young man who was in the age category and we tested some extraordinary actors,” says Ziskin, who passed away from breast cancer in June 2011.

Peter Parker, you two-timing devil. EW has confirmed that Shailene Woodley (The Descendants) has been offered the role of Mary Jane Watson in the upcoming sequel to last summer’s The Amazing Spider-Man. If the deal goes through, Woodley would join Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, and director Marc Webb on the film, starting production in early 2013. (Variety first broke the story.)

The news could scarcely come at a better time for Woodley; ABC Family just decided to end her series The Secret Life of the American Teenager after its upcoming fifth season.

Played by Kirsten Dunst in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, the red-headed Mary Jane (or MJ) was introduced in the comics as a romantic rival of Parker’s other love interest, Gwen Stacy, and ultimately becomes the love of Peter’s life (and, for a time, his wife). READ FULL STORY »

Andrew Garfield and director Marc Webb, who combined to put a new spin on the Spider-Man movie franchise this summer, will return for the sequel. The Amazing Spider-Man, which rebooted the franchise just five years after Sam Raimi concluded his trilogy with Tobey Maguire, grossed more than $750 million at the global box office. “We could not be more confident in the direction we are taking this new Spider-Man storyline and we are tremendously excited to be ramping up production again with Marc at the helm and Andrew continuing on as Peter Parker,” said Doug Belgrad, president of Columbia Pictures, in a statement.

Some of the coolest parts of The Amazing Spider-Man are the dizzying shots of Spidey rocketing through the air as he swings around the city. If those scenes seem a little more realistic than in previous movies about the web slinger, there’s a reason. Stunt coordinator Andy Armstrong explains how they reworked Spider-Man’s swing for the new film.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' clip: Peter Parker's a real baller -- VIDEO

It’s every skinny high school geek’s fantasy: showing up the bullying jock in front of all the kids who worship him most. So when Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) first realizes he’s developed magical velcro hands in The Amazing Spider-Man, naturally his initial instinct is to play a game of keep-away with his bête noire Flash Thomspon (Chris Zylka). But then things escalate to a level it appears even Peter wasn’t prepared for. Check out the clip below:  READ FULL STORY »

'The Amazing Spider-Man' viral campaign leads to new peek at the Lizard -- VIDEO

It’s practically de rigueur now for giant studio tent-poll pictures: The quasi-grassroots “viral” campaign that engages hardcore fans on either a virtual or actual scavenger hunt that ultimately results in the release of a highly conventional piece of marketing (i.e. a trailer, poster,  featurette, etc.). This weekend it was The Amazing Spider-Man‘s turn to cook up some social media buzz for itself, via the Twitter account @scaleseeker that sent fans on the trail of The Lizard, a.k.a. Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), a.k.a. the Big Bad of Sony Pictures’ reboot of the Spidey franchise. Let’s see what they were up to, and what they found!  READ FULL STORY »

'The Amazing Spider-Man' trailer: More glimpses of the Lizard, but who's that mysterious man?

by
Tags: , ,

The last few trailers for The Amazing Spider-Man have leaned on the notion that this reboot of the Spidey franchise reexamines how Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) became the famed web-slinger. Perhaps sensing some audience fatigue with the idea of seeing yet another superhero origin story, the newest (and likely last) Amazing Spider-Man trailer takes an intriguing new approach. “This life is not an easy one,” says a weary Peter in the opening moments of the trailer, and we see him already hard at work as Spider-Man — which is to say, the assumption is that you already know who Spider-Man is, and what he can do. This trailer focuses on a different kind of origin story: “The one thing that has haunted me my entire life,” says Peter, “is finding the truth about my parents.”

We also get a few new, more fleshed-out glimpses of Dr. Curt Connors’s (Rhys Ifans) alter ego, The Lizard. More intriguing is the shadowy figure demanding to know if Connors told Peter about his father. Who is this raspy-voiced character? Is it Oscorp head Norman Osborn, a.k.a. Green Goblin? The DNA-obsessed Dr. Miles Warren, a.k.a. the Jackal? Someone new? Check out the trailer below, and decide for yourself:  READ FULL STORY »
