So do they decide to just pick a random 20 seconds of the movie to show? That showcased absolutely nothing. But it's an exclusive!!

**6souls** · 2012-04-05 22:50

That's usually what they do. Make exclusive clips the bullshit & leave the meaty parts for the trailers.

Best Spider-Movie ever

It looks like Marc Webb and Sony Pictures have completely revamped the origin story of Spider-Man in the upcoming film The Amazing Spider-Man. The fact that they made changes really isn't new, but until today we've only heard bits an pieces of the changes that were made. In a recent interview Webb reveals a few things about the origin that you'll be interested in hearing.

First off he talks bout how the story behind Peter Parker's parents will be told throughout the course of a few movies explaining,

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. 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.

I could see something much bigger brewing there. It will obviously play a big role in the all-around story. It think it's great that he's exploring Parker's parents, why not? The director then goes on to talk about what drives Parker to becoming Spider-Man, and how the motivation behind it is different than what we've come to know,

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.

He then goes on to make a big reveal and possible Spoiler that about the Spider that bites Spider-Man,

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.

Only thing worse about re-watching Spiderman's origin yet again is coming up with some semi-new but not really bullshit to replace it.

**Salodin** · 2012-04-12 23:08

I don't know man, so far I think they got the humor right.

I WANT TO BELIEVE!

So it's better to get the same old stuff again than to have a new take on it?

**Xno Kappa** · 2012-04-13 11:51

How about just move the fuck on? Crazy opinion, I know.

**Tyrath** · 2012-04-13 12:06

Well obviously, that's the preferred option. But I was talking between the two options for origin story since we seem to be stuck with that.

And you gave me a warning for "trolling" in this thread. This whole movie is a giant troll. I used to like Spider-Man too...

**Qalbert** · 2012-05-02 22:56

Because a retarded marketing tie-in affects the quality of the movie, clearly. Don't be a moron.

**Hirronimus** · 2012-05-02 23:12

We'll see

**Delirium** · 2012-05-03 18:39

How does he lose his mask so much?

Collisder interview with Marc Webb

There’s a lot that goes into it. When we shot those sequences, we actually shot a human. There was a guy named Big John, who is literally this big guy named John, who did a lot of the interactive stuff. When you’re trying to interact with Peter [Parker], you need someone grabbing him and to do those things, and then we would replace him with the computer-generated lizard. But then, the performance capture was done with Rhys [Ifans]. We would shoot Rhys in a similar environment and get his facial expressions, and we’re still working on that. I just came from trying to incorporate his performance into The Lizard. That takes an enormous amount of time and it’s tricky. In the comics, there are different incarnations of The Lizard. There’s the one with the snout, but I was interested more in something that could relate human emotions because I wanted to keep Rhys’ performance in that creature. Pixar does it extremely well, creating those emotions within characters that are essentially computer-generated. So, getting that nuance and the eyebrow ticks and the looks, and creating something that can actually speak with lips that make sounds, is a very detailed and, frankly, tedious process. But, I really wanted him to have emotion, have a face and have feeling. That’s the way I chose to do that. And then, there’s the physical components of it, which was making him very powerful and strong.

He also says the movie is about 2 hours long.

still looks dumb

**Salodin** · 2012-05-03 20:11

I'm willing to give it a chance. They're pushing the parent thing really hard, but other then that it actually looks pretty fun.
