“Amazing Spider-Man” Pushing Hard For #SDCC With New Trailer
You can’t say they don’t know their audience.
Just in time for San Diego Comic-Con, Sony is pushing hard for next year’s release of The Amazing Spider-Man. First, Columbia Pictures grabbed the cover spot in this week’s Entertainment Weekly along with a hefty photo spread, and now we’re seeing the (legitimate!) release of this teaser trailer:
We fully expect to see some of the cast in Hall H at San Diego, particularly Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. But personally, we’re pulling for Denis Leary. His reaction to seeing the audience at San Diego could rival Shatner’s “Get a life!” speech.
But still– there’s something about the costume revamp that just (sorry) bugs me.
Very interesting that they include Peter’s parents in the film. It certainly looks good for what was probably rushed out in time for SDCC.
“There are secrets in all families.”
So I take they’re going with the whole “Richard and Mary Parker, CIA agents” angle for the story. I might have been interested in it if this weren’t yet another origin story.
The last origin movie was less than 10 years ago; we really don’t need another one so soon. So far my interest in seeing this in the theaters is exactly the same as it was for Green Lantern: I’ll tag along if I have friends going, but otherwise I’m perfectly fine waiting for it to hit the DVD market.
I do like the idea of Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben, though.
