Paul Feig isn’t just the dude who wrote Bridesmaids. Okay! Shit. Everyone fucking forgets. He’s also the mind behind Freaks and Geeks, and at least one scene in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man  will feature his penchant for interpersonal awkwardness.

Here’s a Japanese trailer for Amazing Spider-Man  which really doesn’t offer up anything new, despite offering up some new footage. This movie is dropping in the wrong  year, don’t you think?

Hit the jump for the trailer, leave your impressions at the beep.

Yeah, The Lizard is the antagonist in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man, no I don’t really give a shit. There’s new promo art that provided a look at said baddie, and I am equally unimpressed with this reveal.

Hit the jump for a peek.

Well then! There was some worthwhile fuzz to report from the Amazing Spider-Man panel at WonderCon.  Most notable is the fact that Emma Stone was originally brought in to play Mary Jane, before taking on the role of Gwen Stacy. Wait! – buh! It almost makes too much sense, since Stone is known for his red hair. Despite it being a dye job! A dye job! The horror.

Hit the jump for more details.

Rendar alerted me to the existence of this clip and told me it was good. I watched it, and asked him why it was good. He then said “well, it wasn’t bad”, to which I agreed. This raised the question, why would The Powers That Be use this clip from The Amazing Spider-Man? Eh!?

Who knows. Hit the jump to check it out.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the movie I keep forgetting about this year. It could be great! It really could. It just keeps slipping my mind underneath an avalanche of Dark Knight Rises, Prometheus, Avengers, Django Unchained, Looper…and more. There’s some new images from the flick, as well as wordage from director Marc Webb regarding the flick.

Hit the jump to check it out.

The official site for the Marc Webb-Emma-Stone-Oh-Yeah-Andrew-Garfield powered Amazing Spider-Man flick has opened, and it has bestowed upon us the geeky masses some new images.

I can understand movie studios’ reticience for dropping the reveals on the baddies for their comic flicks. The problem is that they then often get spoiled in less than thrilling ways. Promo art. Cereal boxes. Now? Pez dispensers.

Oh snap, the Spider-Man reboot has gotten its official title. Hold your breath! Ready? It’s going to be called The Amazing Spider-Man. Shocking? Sort of? Maybe? No? Predictable? None of those responses would surprise me.

It’s amazing that with all the Parker rage going on here at OL from myself and others, I’m eagerly anticipating the flick. I dug Webb’s 500 Days, and Garfield’s performance in the Social Network sold me as well. I’m certain that whatever apathy I have regarding the franchise as a whole won’t prohibit me from giving the reboot a fair chance.

Hit the jump for the promo image they dropped at the time of the announcement.

Oh my gosh! Would you believe this shit? There’s a blurry picture from the Spider-Man set. It’s someone (no clue if its Garfield or a stuntman) bombing around what is supposed to be the streets of New York City. Do I get any sort of meta-cred for admitting I’m posting this, but knowing I’m a douchebag for posting such an absurd thing?

No? Fuck.

Hit the jump for the full picture, and some other set-photos bullshit.
