Another New Featurette For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN Focuses On The Web-Shooters

When it was revealed that Spider-Man would be using mechanical web-shooters in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, the positive response from fans was huge. Sam Raimi decided not to use them in his trilogy, instead making the ability to shoot webs just another of Peter Parker's new powers (the comics quickly did the same before reverting to the web-shooters at the beginning of 2008's "Brand New Day"). This latest featurette puts the spotlight on both the creation of the web-shooters for the big screen and their importance in the Spider-Man mythos.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
