Sony linked up cinemas around the world last night to give eager Spider-Fans the chance to see a sizzle reel and the premiere of a new trailer for Marc Webb’s film.

Twitter fell into a predictable lovefest for the reboot, which has the (500) Days of Summer director take on one of the most beloved characters in the comicverse with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone bringing Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy to life on screen and, as is very much the custom these days, in three sparkling dimensions.

Dave and Adam were in attendance last night and you can read Adam’s take on what was shown here, suffice to say that when the 4th of July rolls around there’ll be plenty of webheads desperate to see if Sony’s sudden reboot tactic has paid off. Given the talent involved, and the hyperbole spun last night, it seems The Amazing Spider-Man may well live up to its name.

Here’s the trailer!

The Amazing Spider-Man is still a good six months from our cinema screens but tonight we were invited to a very special peek at the film’s new trailer, followed by a tantalising sizzle reel.

That wasn’t the only surprise of the night, as key figures from this new take on the iconic webslinger were present in a truly global capacity, with Rhys Ifans taking the stage here in London, Emma Stone and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach broadcasting live from Rio, and director Marc Webb and Peter Parker himself Andrew Garfield being beamed over from across the pond at LA and New York, respectively.

For anyone whose Spidey-senses were tingling a little after the first rather lacklustre glimpse of the friendly neighbourhood crime-fighter a couple of months back, you can all now relax. From the footage screened tonight, Webb appears to have made a sleeker and grittier version of the character, framing him in more of a real-world setting (or as close as can be for a guy who is able to crawl up walls) and re-tweaking the origin angle to provide a slightly different interpretation of the legend.

An early scene between Gwen Stacey and Peter Parker at school offered a funny and awkward interaction between the pair, echoing that same astutely-observed look at young romance which characterised Webb’s debut feature 500 Days of Summer. Thankfully, the director looks like he has more than what it takes when dealing with the bigger, action-heavy carnage, and the shots of Spidey swinging through his beloved Manhattan really benefit  this time around from the technology  being at a level which can really sell that web action. Everything looks a little ramped up this time around, and in particular, the sequences shown where Parker discovers and begins harnessing his new-found powers had a thrillingly visceral and grounded feel to them.

Time will tell if all these segments will add up to a truly spellbinding whole, but for the moment, I’m sure the lucky fans who had the chance to view this footage (the trailer is being released in the wee small hours of the morning) will undoubtedly be bumping The Amazing Spider-Man back up to the top of their most-anticipated summer features of this year, alongside the Bat.

UPDATED! (See below!) Well this is a nice way to end the week! We’ve just been sent this rather nice photo from HeyUGuys reader Brian who has spotted this rather awesome Spider-Man logo projection which is currently lighting up the streets in Camden for what must be Marc Webb’s new Spider-Man movie, The Amazing Spider-Man (either that or someone has got a little carried away with their projector!). As tends to be the case with these sort of promotions, it’s quite possible that more of these will appear in and around London like we saw with the likes of Knowing back in 2009 (how I remember that I have no idea!) so keep your eyes peeled for more and please send them into us using the contact drop down on the site.

The Amazing Spider-Man sees the lovely British actor that is Andrew Garfield playing the title role with Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen and Sally Field co-starring alongside him. It hits UK cinemas 4th July.

The film, which is now in production and is being shot entirely in 3D, will be released on July 3, 2012. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field. The film is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Laura Ziskin, Avi Arad, and Matt Tolmach are producing the Marvel Entertainment production for Columbia Pictures. The executive producers are Stan Lee, Kevin Feige, and Michael Grillo.

Update! OK, so we’ve just been sent another image, from another reader named Gary Evans who has snapped a picture on Clerkenwell Rd which gives us a date (6th February) and a website addres: TheUntoldStoryBegins.co.uk (if you’re not in the UK, other cities are also involved). Head to that site and it takes you to a Sony booking form with the title: ‘A Sneak Peek into the Untold Story’ and a form for you to bok tickets!!!

Head there now before they all go! BOOK BOOK BOOK! Once you go through the options, it takes you to a ticket to a sneak peak on the 6th February! This is getting more exciting with every passing second!

UPDATE #2. Just got back from a nice evening out to find a large batch of more images of the Spider-Man logo being snapped across London. I’ve uploaded numerous sightings including China Town, Covent Garden, Inverness St. to name but a few. You can click them all below to enlarge.I’ve also placed the awesome Spider-Man logo that we found when you go to the Sneak Peek site listed above.

It looks like these logos will be appearing in LA, New York and Rio according to ComingSoon. If you see one, make sure you send it over. Thanks to everyone who’s sent one in so far.

They event projected on Parliament!

Marc Webb’s upcoming take on Spider-Man, rebooting the original trilogy with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the leads this time around, is one of the year’s most highly anticipated films, and is sure to be one of the summer’s biggest blockbusters, along with The Dark Knight Rises.

We caught our first look at the trailer last summer – can you believe it’s been six months since we first saw it? – and Marc Webb’s spoken to ComicBookMovie about when we can see the next:

When can we expect to see a new trailer?

“Soon. Within the next month.”

Awesome. The first trailer looked absolutely brilliant, and if you weren’t entirely sure about Garfield for the lead, that should have squashed any concerns you may have had. It should be immense.

Webb is a brilliant director, and I can’t wait to see what he’ll do with this. Along with Garfield and Stone, the film has a great cast that includes Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, C. Thomas Howell, Denis Leary, and the expected Stan Lee cameo.

The Amazing Spider-Man will be with us on 4th July this year, in less than six months’ time, and according to Webb, we can expect a new trailer within the next few weeks. You can sleep safe in the knowledge that we’ll be bringing it to you the moment it hits. I can’t wait. In the meantime, you can catch up on all things The Amazing Spider-Man right here.

With all of the summer’s big hitters gearing up for the home stretch of post-production, editing, looping, scoring and the like, we can expect a steady stream of stills, trailers, clips and so forth to issue out of the machine that is the Wood of Holly. Indeed, it is less than a month until Super Bowl Sunday in the US, when there will be a massive splurge of TV spots for every summer release you can think of, but in the meantime we have at least a new still from Marvel’s The Amazing Spider-Man, which (come July) will tell us how well audiences will respond to a reboot of what has until now been their most financially and critically successful character.

Much as I enjoyed the first two Raimi Spider-flicks (and I really, really did), I’m far from in thrall to his vision of the web-slinging one and I am keen to see what a lower budget, a more stripped back iteration of the character and Andrew Garfield’s acting chops make of Spidey.

Until we get something more meaty (and a proper trailer cannot surely be far off), we have this still from Entertainment Weekly, via ComicBookMovie.com to enjoy, with a mask-less Peter Parker readying to spin some web and leap into action. He seems to have the characterisation of Parker and Spider-Man nailed down from the little we have seen so far. Here’s hoping for a cracking film….

I’ve really liked all the promo material that Sony are putting out for The Amazing Spider-Man and these two new images are no exception. They show us a new view of Andrew Garfield (Peter Parker / Spider-Man) and Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy) in the Marc Webb directed movie that will be with us 4th July.

The film also stars Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Denis Leary, Stan Lee and if you’ve missed the trailer and other coverage for it, click here!

In the past week, a lot of attention has naturally been focused on one of next summer’s biggest blockbusters, The Dark Knight Rises, as we got the immense first full-length trailer that pretty much drops your jaw to the floor.

The Nolan brothers’ conclusion to their Batman trilogy is of course not the only superhero blockbuster we can look forward to next summer, with Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man hitting our cinemas two weeks earlier at the start of July.

We got our first look at the film when the trailer hit back in July this year, and since then we’ve seen plenty of great posters, images, and banners. Marvel have now put out half a dozen brilliant new images from the upcoming film, via ComicBookMovie.com, and they give us another awesome look at the film’s leads, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.

Webb is taking the films back to the beginning, withGarfielddonning the Spidey suit once worn by Tobey Maguire, and Stone playing Gwen Stacy this time around, rather than Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson. From what we’ve seen so far, the film looks to be a darker take on the superhero than the original three films, and I can’t wait to see what Webb’s done with it.

Along with Garfield and Stone, both of whom are very much deservedly rising young stars, the cast also includes Rhys Ifans as The Lizard, Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Ben and May Parker, Denis Leary as Captain Stacy, Chris Zylka as Flash Thompson, and Irrfan Khan as Dr. Ratha, with a script from Steve Kloves (the Harry Potter films), James Vanderbilt (Zodiac), and Alvin Sargent (Spider-Man 2 and 3).

Webb’s feature directorial debut, (500) Days of Summer, was so good, and pretty different to what I imagine The Amazing Spider-Man will be, which is yet another reason to be looking forward to this. I have a feeling the story is in safe hands. Garfield and Stone have been looking brilliant in their respective roles so far, and that only continues in these new images from the film. We’ll be getting it here in 3D next summer on 4^th July, and if that isn’t a date already marked in your calendars, then set it down right now. And as usual with the first three and the last of these new images, click to enlarge.

While we were fast asleep last night, Sony was making some rather awesome changes to the official website for The Amazing Spider-Man updating it with brand new images and full character descriptions for all the main characters. We’ve seen so many Spider-Man films now that it’s becoming a little old hat but that doesn’t stop people clicking to see the new images of which there are many. Scroll down below to view and click them to enlarge.

I absolutely love the image of Garfiled (Spdier-Man) sitting down with the mask looking up at him. In fact, there isn’t an image here I don’t really like!

The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, is directed by Marc Webb and hits UK cinemas 4th July.

Peter 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.

Gwen 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.

Captain 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.

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.

Thanks to CBM for the heads up

Not quite as good in my opinion as the new dark poster that was released on Friday night but still loving these three new banners for The Amazing Spider-Man which come from ImageShack via Comic Book Movie.

Marc Webb directed this latest installment in the Spider-Man franchise with a cast that includes Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Sally Field, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka and Irrfan Khan.

Peter Parker (Garfield) grapples with both human problems and amazing super-human abilities.

The Amazing Spider-Man, the first instalment in a possible new trilogy, is expected to be released in U.K. cinemas on July 4, 2012.

Having written about the realms of US politics (The American President, the frankly peerless West Wing) and then TV production (Studio 60), Aaron Sorkin, who for my money is as gifted and talented a writer as there is out there, now seems to be setting his sights on the various icons of the IT world. After his deserved Oscar® win for The Social Network and its formidable dissection of the somewhat enigmatic Mark Zuckerberg, Sorkin may now be setting his sights on Steve Jobs, the recently deceased head of Apple.

In an interview with E! Online, Sorkin was enthusiastic if a little non-committal:-

“Sony has asked me to write the movie and it’s something I’m strongly considering. Right now I’m just in the thinking-about-it stages, it’s a really big movie and it’s going to be a great movie no matter who writes it.”

Sony reportedly bought up the rights to Walter Isaacson’s biography of Jobs for a cool $1m, amidst the general and seemingly globe-spanning swell of interest in Jobs following his tragic death earlier this year. That biography shifted close to 400,000 copies in its first week and Sorkin is said to be reading it at the moment while he considers Sony’s invitation to write the script for the film adaptation.

Apparently, The Hollywood Reporter asked veteran casting director Sharon Bialy who might be a good fit for Jobs in a film of his life. Her suggestions were Ashton Kutcher, Andrew Garfield or Shia LeBeouf for the younger years and Keanu Reeves, Ralph Fiennes or Noah Wyle for the older Job. Heaven help us. Ashton Kutcher and Keanu Reeves? Why not Seann William Scott and Jack Black? Garfield and Fiennes seem altogether more fitting, but what do I know? Let’s go with good actors rather than getting hung up on physical resemblance.

Once Sorkin has made his mind up, we’ll let you know.

Here’s some nice new photos from the set of The Amazing Spider-Man where Andrerw Garfield appear to have either had a nosebleed or has blown his nose and forgotten to remove the tissue! These new images come via The Daily Mail who also have photos Rhys Ifans on set who also have photos of Garfield in full Spider-Man costume swinging down a zip-wire while filming the movie in New York.

I’ve placed a few of the images below but you can head over to the source for more.

The Amazing Spider-Man is directed by Marc Webb and sees Andrew Garfield take the leading role as Peter Parker​ alongside Emma Stone​, Rhys Ifans​, Denis Leary​, Campbell Scott​, Irrfan Khan​, Martin Sheen​, Sally Field​ and with no doubt a cameo from comic book legend, Stan Lee​.

It comes creepy crawling it’s way to UK cinemas 4th July 2012!

Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2012, and over the summer we saw some great promotion for it with the awesome first teaser trailer being one of the highlights.

With thanks to ComingSoon.net for the tip-off, Emma Stone was the guest host of Saturday Night Live for the second time at the weekend, and her appearance on the show saw a great Spider-Man intro between her, SNL-regular Andy Samberg, and none other than the new superhero himself, Andrew Garfield.

The lovely-as-ever Stone talks about how great Gwen Stacey’s going to be in the film – and how Mary Jane Watson pales in comparison – and then drops down Samberg in the Spidey suit, complete with a home-made webslinger and script to audition for the part. As Stone then reminds him, the role has of course already been taken, and on comes Garfield.

Samberg is a lot of fun in this, so if you have a few minutes, it’s definitely worth checking out. He pokes a bit of fun at what a lot of people were first thinking – that the new film isn’t necessary – which I think the majority of people have now changed their minds about, myself definitely included, because The Amazing Spider-Man, due out on 4^th July next year, is going to be immense.

Samberg also gets in a couple of great jabs at Garfield, saying how the co-creator of Facebook can’t just come on stage, as well a brilliant comment on his British nationality (I won’t spoil it for you, but it’s absolutely genius).

The musical guests for the night were the ridiculously brilliant Coldplay, and I’ve taken the liberty of putting the promo for the episode beneath the Stone/Garfield/Samberg video, and beneath that Coldplay’s performance of Paradise off their new record, Mylo Xyloto. If you’ve not picked it up yet, I’d recommend doing so as soon as humanly possible; it is so damn good.

The build-up to next summer’s release of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man continues today with a couple of new shots of Andrew Garfield as Spidey, courtesy of Uruloki.org.

The first shows him in the sort of introspective pose he’ll no doubt adopt during some of the movie’s more emotionally complex scenes, while the second gives us a glimpse of him in a far more dynamic, web-slinging pose.

We’ve already seen a couple of photos of Garfield in costume – as well as a handful of ropey on-set images showing him awkwardly standing around in tracksuit bottoms between takes – and while these latest two don’t really show anything particularly new, we won’t complain about having the opportunity to look at the heavily textured new costume from a couple of different angles. Is it just me or does it look like he’s wearing football boots?

The Amazing Spider-Man opens next July. Expect plenty more photos of your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man between now and then.

Report by Tim Leng.

Not wanting to slow down the Spider-Man hype for a second, Sony have announced a 2nd May, 2014 release date for the sequel to the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man, just shy of two years after the first film comes out on 3rd July, 2012, /Film report.

In case you’ve missed it, you can catch up with all the fantastic Spidey news we’ve been getting for The Amazing Spider-Man here.

Given that the first film is still just under a year away from release, Sony are certainly showing that they’ve got a lot of faith in director Marc Webb and what he’s done with the reboot. As one Sony executive told Deadline,

“I think it speaks volumes about our confidence in what we are seeing on the new film and our desire to move quickly on the next installment.”

The cynic in you might say that they know Spider-Man is a money-generating machine that they would happily milk a trilogy from regardless of quality, because they know it’s likely to do well at the box office all the same. But everything that we’ve seen so far suggests that Webb* really has made something awesome in this reboot, and that we should definitely have a little faith, and be encouraged by the fact that a sequel – and an all but inevitable trilogy – is looking likely to come our way.

From the first look we got of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man back at the start of the year, to the set of photos we got from the film that showed us a close-up of his web shooters and the rest of the major characters last month, to the awesome first teaser trailer that we got just a few days later, it’s all been very encouraging. Screenwriter James Vanderbilt, who wrote the screenplay for the first film, was hired back in March to get to work on a screenplay, so it’s good news that he’s been working on it for some time already, and that it’s someone who already knows the story inside-out.

With a cast as awesome as The Amazing Spider-Man has, with Garfield in the lead, supported by Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Ben and May Parker, and Rhys Ifans as The Lizard, and a director as talented as Marc Webb, it’s all but a sure thing that The Amazing Spider-Man is going to one hell of a movie next year. So with that in mind, confirmation that Sony are moving ahead with the sequel is definitely good news in my books.

*N.B. I’ve only just realised how apt Marc Webb’s surname is to helm a Spider-Man film.

Comic Con 2011 is slowly coming to a close but that hasn’t stopped Sony releasing this nice shiny new International poster for The Amazing Spider-Man. If you missed the Sony panel, you can read Ezequiel’s write up of the panel including a video of Andrew Garfield arriving right here.

The Amazing Spider-Man is directed by Marc Webb and sees Andrew Garfield take the leading role as Peter Parker alongside Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field and with no doubt a cameo from comic book legend, Stan Lee.

This new poster is pretty much the same as the one we saw from SDCC itself but I’d say it was slightly more polished.

It comes creepy crawling it’s way to UK cinemas 4th July 2012!

Yesterday saw the biggest gathering of people in Hall H I’ve seen this year and it was pretty obvious what people were waiting for.  Sony actually brought four films to the stage of Hall H this year.  Directors Neveline/Taylor were on hand with Nicholas Cage to present footage from their new film “Ghostrider: Spirit of Vengeance”.  “Zombieland” Ruben Fleischer was on hand with stars Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson and Michael Pena to bring audiences a hilarious look into “30 Minutes of Less”.  Len Wisemen was sowing off some early work of his reboot of “Total Recall”.  The beautiful cast present for the panel included Colin Farrell, Kate Bekinsale and Jessica Biel.  However, the film batting clean up, and the one we had all waited for that day was Marc Webbs “The Amazing Spider-Man”.

With all the great discussion that took place and the fantastic footage we saw, nothing compares to how the panel began.  This moment will be what people talk about longer after the con is over and is the exact reason you come to this convention in the first place.

As local radio show host Ralph Garman was set to bring out the Spidey panel, a nervous skinny kid ran up to the audience mic and interrupted Ralph.  He said he only had one thing to say as Ralph asked him to leave because he needed to start the panel. The boy seemed obviously nervous underneath his extremely cheap Spider-Man costume.  As Ralph did his best “acting frustrated” impression, the boy took off his mask to reveal our young new star, Andrew Garfield.

In a moment that could only happen at San Diego Comic-Con, Andrew went into what could only be described as one of the most heartfelt introductions I’ve seen.  He spoke about how he had always wanted to come to Comic-Con and felt that the best way to do it for the first time was to get down on the floor to talk to us.  I was able to grab my camera fast enough to record the best part. Bare with me as the video is from my iPhone.

He goes on to talk about why Spider-Man was so important to him growing up and how he felt at the opportunity to play this character.  Really, I feel like he was saying, I love Spidey too and I want to know that you will accept me as, 1.) a fan and 2.) Spider-Man himself.  It was easily the highlight of the day to see him completely overwhelmed, not at the fact that he’s playing the title character, but that he had finally made it to Comic-Con.

After he introduced the rest of the panel that included the beautiful Emma Stone (Gwen Stacy), Fleischer and Marvel god Avi Arad, the panel got rolling,

We watched the new trailer, which actually debuted earlier in the week online.  However, I knew they would show it during the panel so I abstained from watching it online.  Thank god I did because seeing it in 3D on the big screen with that audience only made the trailer that much better.  I think it looks great and that first-person ending was really impressive.

The panel continued with a basic Q&A from the crowd that brought now incredible highlights.  However, unlike the “Total Recall” panel that proceeded Spidey, the cast/crew seemed seriously devoted and in love with not only the movie they’ve made but with the characters they’ve helped create.

We were treated with an exclusive detailed look as some much more tender moments in the young boys life.  The film seem much more grounded in the drama this time around.  Andrew Garfield feels like me when I was in high school.  The film deals with the idea of Parker having to hide this secret and how that plays out over the course of the film.  Then the action started and it didn’t disappoint. Marc Webb has been pretty vocal about not relying too much on CGI, like the first series did, and sticking to practical effects as much as they could.  It shows and it’s fantastic.  In fact, some of the footage was so raw that we could still see some of the wirework from the web slinging.  I have to really say that the practical effects really seem to ground the film in reality.  If feels like Parker has a talent more then a superpower, I fell like that will be easier to relate to when people see the finished product.

Now, the film does has a great deal of CG so don’t except all stuntmen all the time.  After we screened that sizzle reel of goodness, it was clear that we hadn’t seen our villain yet.  In another con surprise Rhys Ifans, who plays Dr. Curt Conner’s aka The Lizard, took to the stage as they ran an exclusive look at his character and transformation.  This is where that CGI comes into full view.  Conner’s Lizard looks really impressive as a design element, but I’m afraid the real web-slinging mixed with the switch to CG could be an issue, albeit a small one.  I feel strongly about supporting this film.  All the right elements seem to have come together on this film.

Following on nicely from the first teaser trailer for Sony’s reboot, restart, re-imaginging, re-insert word here of their Spider-Man franchise, we now have the first official poster for the movie courtesy of Alex from Firstshowing. This is a photos of the poster which was taken at Comic Con which kicks off today with the Twilight panel in the mighty Hall H in San Diego.

The Amazing Spider-Man is directed by Marc Webb and sees Andrew Garfield take the leading role as Peter Parker alongside Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field and with no doubt a cameo from comic book legend, Stan Lee.

It comes creepy crawling it’s way to UK cinemas 4th July 2012 so we still have a fair while to wait!

The last couple of weeks have been trailer-tastic as we go into Summer. All the big studios want to show off their new and upcoming movies in front of the big movies during the reason which is why HeyUGuys has been littered with trailer after trailer over the past few weeks. Last week we had The Dark Knight Rises and today it’s all about Spider-Man!

Here’s the latest in the form of The Amazing Spider-Man which is directed by Marc Webb and sees Andrew Garfield take the leading role as Peter Parker alongside Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Irrfan Khan, Martin Sheen, Sally Field and with no doubt a cameo from comic book legend, Stan Lee.

We can expect the movie to hit 4th July 2012 and this is our first proper looks at what we can expect! Enjoy!

What do you think of the POV shots at the end? If it fails to load, click play and wait a bit, it’s currently being hammered!

Entertainment Weekly come up with the goods yet again and have delivered a series of production stills from the forthcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man and we get our first real look at Rhys Ifans, Sally Field and the one and only Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben.

When it was announced that the new Spider-Man film would be a high school reboot a lot of fans were worried, and disappointed that they’d never get to see John Malkovich face off against Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man in a fourth film but seeing more of Marc Webb’s film, and the great cast he has assembled, is just the ticket to convince the doubting quarters.

My favourite pic? Peter Parker solving the problem of crowded subway trains. Bring on your trailer Sony.

Click ahoy Spider-fans,

Big thanks to Rope of Silicon.
