Sony Confirms ‘AMAZING SPIDER-MAN’ Is First In Trilogy. MOAR GARFIELD GET.
Would you be shocked if you found out that a comic book franchise is aiming to be a trilogy? I hope not.
The Amazing Spider-Man – Is So Amazing the Tobey Aftertaste Is Almost Gone
[As always, spoiler-free and barebones on plot description. If you want the third act twists spelled out for you, please visit Roger Ebert’s site.]
But seriously: this film is worth admission alone because this time, they hired a fucking casting director. Gone is the triumvirate of shit that Tobey, Kirsten and Franco brought to the table.
Director Marc Webb gone and killed it. You will fall in love with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in this film. They’re just glowing with chemistry and love and presence. Garfield takes a half hour or so to get there, but Stone is just a magnet for attention in every scene, and never in a presumptuous or overbearing way. They work, and they work very well as the leads in this re-take on Spider-Man’s origin.
Andrew Garfield Spotted Carrying Spidey Comics Featuring Thanos. OMFGSPECULATE.
To be perfectly clear: I don’t expect this to mean anything, I just find the speculation fun.
The SPIDER-MAN Movieverse Could Cross Over Into ‘THE AVENGERS’. Jesus Christ, No.
The Spider-Man and Avengers movie universes could collide, and goddamn I say no.
WATCH: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone Singing About Spider-Man; Already Better Than Movie.
I ain’t excited for Spider-Man but I do enjoy Andrew Garfield. And Emma Stone? Goodness me, yes. Here is a clip of the two of them belting out some nonsensical jam about the Spider-Parker with an adorableness that I suspect won’t be found in the film. Haters gon’ hate. I’m a hater.
PETER PARKER and MILES MORALES To Meet In ‘SPIDER-MEN’. Oh Marvel.
Well, it’s happening. The Ultimate and 616 universes are somehow interacting, an event that Joe Quesada once said would only happen when Marvel was out of ideas. Which you know, makes it seem like perfect sense that its happening now.
Details and artwork after the jump.
Spider-Man Gets New Suit For Upcoming Event. LOL Oh God Bad.
There’s a new Spider-Man event coming up called Ends of the Earth, and just in time for it Peter is getting himself a new suit. Good lord, it’s pretty. Ugly. Pretty ugly.
Hit the jump to check it out.
David Fincher’s ‘Spider-Man’ Would Have Had Operatic Music Video Opening.
Though not sounding nearly as bananas as Aronofsky’s take on the Batman mythos, David Fincher’s pitch for a Spider-Man movie is definitely out of left field. Oh, and fucking awesome by the way.
Dude Discovers $12,000 Spider-Man Comic In Attic. Bank Account Tingling!
While rummaging through his attic, some lucky Illinois native came across a copy of Amazing Fantasy #15. You know, the title where everyone’s favorite Geek Gone Wild, Peter Parker debuted.
