The Amazing Spider-Man trailer

Febuary 7, 2012

Check out the new The Amazing Spider-Man trailer. They have absolutely nailed down the feel of the 1970s Stan Lee/Gerry Conway/John Romita Spider-Man from the comics and director Marc Webb has definitely given it a 1970’s Taxi Driver kind of look which is very appropriate for the NYC that Spider-Man operates in. Moreover, they seem to be hinting that they are indeed going to have the balls to do the deaths of Captain George Stacy and Gwen Stacy which if they did go through with would lend this new trilogy far more emotional weight than the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy. It would be interesting to see if they actually do go through with it.

You can argue that it’s unnecessary and Sony is only doing this to keep the rights to the character, but they also appear to be putting their best foot forward with the effort as the trailer shows and I think this movie will take a lot of people by surprise. Can’t wait for this year’s Summer of the Superhero repeat of the great 2008 summer for movies.
