^I just woke up. I'LL BE HERE. :D Really hope it's a lot of new footage/more story info, not just a rehash of the existing footage like the international trailer we saw.. Hey, a bit OT but has anyone called bids on making the official thread when the time comes? If not, i'd love to do it.

Don't they have to? The movie is 2 months away and I feel we hardly know anything about it. If they want to get people excited, they have to show some footage. good footage.

Quick is supposed to do the OT.

You can always check here to see if an OT has been claimed.

^Thanks, I was actually looking for that thread earlier and couldn't find it, assumed it was in the OT community for some reason.

And how many hours left now till the trailer?

Just a little over four hours.

Well in the mean time, i'll post these wallpaper I made for the iPad in the house, for the kids. I had to mix/merge a few of the posters to get it to work, since the high-res version of one poster cuts off at his head and is tilted at an angle, and the other poster which shows the whole background/etc is lo-res, but I managed to make it look crisp enough and straightened SM's orientation.. Anyway, click for source;





PS. As I thought, no snout people;

[Messypandas]

That one leak from last summer had a similar snout. But every clear picture of the lizard doesnt have it. I dont know what to think. Edit:

Thats a photoshop from aliens vs predator

That's a leaked image from the trailer

Description of the trailer according to some guy who supposedly already seen it

"There's a lot of interaction between Peter and Gwen, very nice dialogue.. Peter saying that he has made powerful enemies. There are some new swinging scenes that are amazingly beautiful while Peter has a monologue about his life, some new scenes of Peter discovering his abilities.. but not much at all.. pretty much things we already saw.. It's like an Avengers trailer that doesn't spoil it too much for us.. There's nothing new with Uncle Ben, I guess they are saving him for the film.. and now the lizard.. there is some scenes of Connors in the lab before the transformation.. him looking at his new gronwn arm.. There's an uspide down fight between Spidey and Lizard in the school while children are escaping in panic.. them falling from the Oscorp tower, also spidey dodging lizard's tail while him in the lab coat from that promo image, I think it's the same lab, Lizard's machine shoots a ray in the sky.. and most epic shot of Lizard releasing green gas in the streets of Manhattan.. it looks sick"

[Dahellisdat]

PS. As I thought, no snout people;

I'm still expecting a drawn out transformation where a snout eventually forms.
I'm predicting after he tests his serum or whatever on himself, his arm grows back, and then from there, a steady decline between humanity and lizardry as he continuously transforms until Peter come up with a way to reverse the process.

Again, I could be wrong of course....that's just my foresight.

[The Outsider]

I think expecting a snout is just wishful thinking at this point. I'd love to see one, but after all the shots from the trailer and the promo pics, I'm pretty sure it's just not there.

[brandonh83]

I'm glad I don't really give a fuck about a snout. It must suck to care that much about it. :p

Hey, a bit OT but has anyone called bids on making the official thread when the time comes? If not, i'd love to do it.

Do it bro.

Outside of a select few (basically excluding us both) there has been little excitement for this on GAF. With your photoshop skills atleast, we'll get a LOT better OP than that new & shitty OP for TDKR.

[Sentry]

Where's SHIELD when you need 'em!!

Same here, it may exist in some capacity, maybe through those he infects eventually, but I doubt it. In all honesty, if they pull off the Lizard in every other way, I don't care about the lack of snout.

Not to mention it makes sense from a dialog standpoint, if he's going to be talking as the Lizard, the snout would be hilarious. Anyone remember Venom/Brock in SM3 talking while masked? It looked like shit.

On another note, this guy made/is currently making a replica suit, so to all those who say it's impossible or unrealistic for a normal person to come up with such a costume...

[Messypandas]

A couple'a new ones.

Oh bro, they shoulda got you a cod piece

[Wingfan19]

Thats a photoshop from aliens vs predator

No it isn't. It was from the early Comic Con footage from last year. That's the bathroom scene with the 2 girls where the Lizard comes out from one of the bathroom stalls. Apparently, they changed the model of the Lizard during production so it didn't have the snout, most likely due to what people are saying here, that if he has to talk, it won't look so goofy.

Also, from the looks of the fight scene where Spider-Man and Lizard are on top of the building and the radio tower is falling over, he doesn't have the snout there either, and you have to assume that's big final battle of the movie.

Can't wait to see that new trailer, oh yes. :)

Fantastic interview with Marc Webb.

Two weeks ago I didn't care about the movie at all and now I am extremely excited. Between this trailer and that interview, I now view this movie in an entirely different light. That interview even managed to turn around my opinion regarding the humor shown in the trailer:

Question: Can you talk about your approach to the humor here? It seems like Peter becomes this more animated version of himself, like this guy that maybe he always wanted to be like when he’s wearing the suit. Can you talk about your approach to the humorous side of Peter? Marc Webb: Sure. Again, that’s something from the comics that I’ve always been a fan of, but humor is a very tricky thing, because it’s very subjective and I wanted to… Everything in this movie, the first domino is Peter Parker getting left behind by his parents, right? And I thought to myself, “What does that do to somebody?” “How does that change your view of the world?” To me it creates a little bit of a level of distrust. It’s a brutal thing to happen to you and that, to me, is where he gets that outsider status and then there’s a sarcasm that comes from that and the wittiness… I think maybe some of your guys have seen the car thief scene where that attitude comes out and that generates from him having this chip on his shoulder. He’s a little bit mean, a little bit kind of snarky. But that’s an attitude that we can all understand and relate to, but I think it comes from a very real genuine place and I think that’s an important part. My point is the humor comes from a very human real emotional place, it’s not just slapped on.

Still not sure how to feel about the way Uncle Ben is being handled. I'm actually glad Marvel is being protective with certain elements of the origin. I have a feeling Ben's death won't be so random, which would be disappointing.

[Tom_Cody]

Can you elaborate on that? In my opinion it is looking like his death will be related to the conspiracy involving Osborn/Oscorp and his parents.

Do you feel that the randomness of the crime is supposed to have shaped his development as a crime fighter in a certain way? I have never really thought about it that element of his origin like that.

If so, you raise an interesting point because it looks like this movie could be specifically setting up a revenge angle (vs. Spider-man as a more general crime fighter) against Norman Osborn as the villain in the sequel.

If so, you raise an interesting point because it looks like this movie could be specifically setting up a revenge angle (vs. Spider-man as a more general crime fighter) against Norman Osborn as the villain in the sequel.

I think the randomness is important. Especially when you consider that Parker had a chance to stop the killer beforehand and did nothing because he was "looking out for number one." It's that shocking realization that he has a certain responsibility to use his powers for the greater good, no matter the situation, that propels him into becoming a super hero.

If Ben's death is just part of a great conspiracy, like you said, it becomes more about revenge. I'm not sure the important lesson of "with great power comes great responsibility" comes across as it did with the original origin.

I'm sure Webb has a plan though. I have to assume he realizes that's important.

For Batman, it's all about revenge to start but evolves into something more. They both eventually reach a similar place but their journey is very different.

[Tom_Cody]

You know, I honestly wasn't thinking about Batman when I wrote my post but you are of course correct. It will be interesting to compare this to Batman Begins since this seems to be so much more focus on the absence/death of the parents than Raimi's films.

[Banana Kid]

If Ben's death is just part of a great conspiracy, like you said, it becomes more about revenge. I'm not sure the important lesson of "with great power comes great responsibility" comes across as it did with the original origin.

Yeah, that's a problem for sure. The core of Spider-Man's motivation is appeasing his guilt over Uncle Ben and ensuring what happened to him doesn't happen to anyone else. If Oscorp is at fault here, then suddenly crime isn't the guilty party. Osborn is, and as soon as Osborn's taken down, Spider-Man's won. It adds a victory condition to a mission that's supposed to be lifelong.

It's why having The Joker be the guy who killed Batman's parents (or having Sandman be the guy who killed Uncle Ben) was so dumb. The killer isn't important. The very existence of crime is what's important.

[.la1n]

I'm glad I don't really give a fuck about a snout. It must suck to care that much about it. :p

Yea, actually it does suck quite a bit to care enough about an iconic Spider-Man villain to not want him reduced to an oversize green goomba from the mario bros. movie. It was bad enough what Raimi did with the green goblin but this is an entire new level of bad, I should not laugh every time the villain is on screen and picture this:

Here is an interview from VMAN magazine where Tobey Maguire interviews Andrew Garfield.

Interesting fact learned from this article: Andrew Garfield has a friend named Terry McGuiness.

Funny. The material there looks a lot more like the material from the Raimi suit.

This first person stuff better be hot shit if they're pushing it this hard.

Great poster (omg spider city!), silly mechanism.

1. Hasn't the story actually been told? Do we know how much of the film is going to be origin-based?
2. How is he so high?

[DMczaf]

But it's not an untold story.

It was told in Hulk 2003

[jett]

I wonder how does his suit manage to withstand the force of his swinging without tearing itself. Dude must've invented super fabric along with his super sticky substance.

But it's not an untold story. It was told in Hulk 2003

THE UNTOLD STORY







anyway, today we get a 4-minute trailer, right.

[Ammish]

1. Hasn't the story actually been told? Do we know how much of the film is going to be origin-based?

The untold story is in regard to Peter Parker's parents, which is the first time it has been shown on the big screen.

[Salvor.Hardin]

New clip?

This movie could actually have a compelling antagonist.

[DMczaf]

Who are you to question the genius of a 30 year old man playing a 17 year old boy?

But there is no notable story about his parents. Which means they're going to needlessly tie them into whatever could be interesting about this film. Which means his Dad helped create the Lizard, or whatever. Great.

I agree. This movie is going to be awesome.

Peter Parker's parents actually killed Uncle Ben.

And then Jack Nicholson killed Peter Parker's parents

I wonder if there going to go the Ang Lee Hulk route and have the father's experiment on himself or his son, and have the spider bite just be the activation switch.

[Dany M]

Those posters look great.

I'm a Spiderman fan, and was excited for this until I saw the origin stuff/heard about the parent stuff. I just want a Spiderman movie that doesn't suck. Spiderman 2 came pretty close.

And then Jack Nicholson killed Peter Parker's parents

Spiderman and Batman are brothers! The after-credits cameos that point to a Dark Night/Spiderman crossover directed by Joel Schumacher will blow minds.

[rollingstart]

It's clearly inspired by Ultimate Spider-man.

I agree but feel strange doing so after seeing the treatment of Lizard by Hollywood's CG wizards.
