An insightful article in The Wall Street Journal about the financial impact and ramifications of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 filming in New York has revealed some interesting hints as to where Marc Webb's sequel is headed. What's disclosed is that filming will last approximately 151 days in New York meaning that the cast and crew should be there until approximately July 02nd. Most of the filming will actually be completed in four separate facilities located throughout New York but there is one day where film production will move to Times Square. There's also a chase scene and a flashback that's thought to go back all the way to 1945. In addition, the WSJ also saw a set that looked like a female dormitory at Columbia University, meaning that it's likely that either Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) or Mary Jane Watson (Shailene Woodley) are in college. The film's executive producer, Bennet Walsh shared that, "When you decide to place a film, you obviously have to start with the script. Because Peter Parker lives in New York, there was always a component of having to be in New York.

Sweet. I'm assuming they will be graduating during the movie. Maybe something happens during the ceremony? That'd be cool to see.

@FreakingIntelligentRobertGriffin Every studio needs rebates or tax incentives of some kind.

A chase scene ? I wonder what kind of chase there will be, since Electro and Rhino aren't exactly "chasers".

Also, the flashback, and the college thing ? Really interesting, looks like there will be a lot happening in this movie.

Good. As much as I love HS Peter Parker, Garfield looks old enough to be a graduate student. But Dehaan looks like he is a HS freshmen.

I'm absolutely happy they're moving out of high school! The high school story arc was good and it's always fun to explore the developing years of an individual. But to limit yourself to such a setting means you're limiting yourself to experience life beyond what HS has to offer - which is A WHOLE LOT.

I'm still in high school and I know that there is a whole other side to life that I haven't even touched upon. It'd be weird if I graduated before Peter :P

I always knew in the back of my head that if electro was the villian a battle in time square was inevitable. Oh and the chase scene with electro is actually plausible becasue electro now a days seems to be able to travel through electrical currents so that could be the chase scene. I'm excited!!

I think maybe Gwen goes there for an interview. Remember in TASM when Captain Stacy mentions that Connors gave Gwen a college recommendation? Maybe because of the whole Lizard fiasco, they call her up, bring her in, and tell her to go to another college because she worked for Connors.

Hey, it's a possibility.

Andrew Garfield, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hiddleston, and Joss Whedon=AWESOME. Now, let's see if Jamie Foxx, Dean Dehaan, Paul Giamatti, and Shailene Woodley will be.

Jamie foxx and Paul Giamatti are awesome.

Dehaan and Woodley from what I've seen are pretty good as well.
