Although The Dark Knight Rises is the hands down number one film I want to see this summer, (probably multiple times) I have to say I'm very intrigued by the upcoming The Amazing Spiderman. It takes courage to re-boot a franchise only five short years after the last film, 2007's horrendous Spiderman 3. With Emma Stone, Dennis Leary, Rhys Ifans, and the talented Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) in the lead role, I have high expectations for this film. Columbia Pictures and Marvel Entertainment bills it as "The Untold Story" of how Peter Parker became Spiderman, and apropos of recent comic book films, the trailer comes across very dark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XayxMPrUP4
Despite a release date still over five months away, the superhero (or at least his producers) are spinning a web of intrigue across the pond. According to the British film site Hey You Guys (love that name!) Spiderman logos are appearing all across the city. These logos are to promote an upcoming sneak peek at The Amazing Spiderman on February 6th. Similar displays in Rio, New York, and Los Angeles have also been appearing.
The real question is what does a "sneak peek" mean? I would be stunned if it a full screening of the film. More than likely it will be a significant scene. Perhaps the one where Peter Parker becomes Spiderman?
The Amazing Spiderman opens July 3, 2012.
