An interesting chat about how to cut down a comic book script to a manageable film length with The Amazing Spider-Man editor, Alan Edward Bell. Unsurprisingly, the ending leaves the door open for a sequel.

All-in-all, an interesting chat with the film's editor who says to "keep your eyes open for easter eggs" during the film. And from the tone of the conversation, it appears that the DVD/Blu-ray release for the film will surely include a few additional scenes left on the cutting room floor.



Running Time: 2 hrs 16 min
Release Date: July 3, 2012 (USA)
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Rhys Ifans, Emma Stone, Sally Field and Martin Sheen.
Directed by: Marc Webb
Written by: James Vanderbilt (initial screenplay),Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves (revised draft)



The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Marc Webb, based on the comic book of the same name and starring Andrew Garfield as the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film that portrays Spider-Man in film and is a reboot of the film series that stars the superhero. The cast includes Garfield as Peter Parker and his alter ego, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors. The film will portray Parker as his super powers are evolving in high school.

The film's development began simultaneously with Sony announcing the cancellation of Spider-Man 4. Opting for a reboot with the same production team rather than another sequel, the studio announced a July 2012 release date for what was now titled The Amazing Spider-Man. James Vanderbilt was hired to write the script while Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves helped fine-tune the script. Filming started in December 2010 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City with the help of RED Epic camera. The film entered post-production in April 2011.

Sony Entertainment has focused its marketing campaign with a promotional website with released images, 2 theatrical trailers, a prologue screening in certain cities and a video game tie-in being developed by Beenox among other products. The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012. A sequel of the film is being planned for release in 2014 with James Vanderbilt hired to again write the screenplay.

I can't get over the look of the film - Say what you will about the costume, it's WAY TOO contemporary looking. It may look good to some of you now, but twenty years from now it's going to look very '2012ish' the way some things look VERY 70's or 80's.

I want the definitive, iconic vision of the character dammit!!!

For a highschool / young college kid, they should have gone the more homemade (less professional costume prop department capabilities) route and worked in the uneven homemade stitching from Spiderman Edge of time, while using the more angular eyes (WHICH WOULDN'T BE F*%#ING YELLOW!!!)

@NinjaJesus

Are you the only one who felt that way about The Lizard's CGI? You know what I'll think of your opinion if critics end up criticizing the VFX. I have my doubts. Many people do. The Lizard is poorly rendered, imho. You've done little to convince me, seeing as you're a little biased. Me? Look back a year. I was a supporter of this film. ImagesWorks killed it for me.

@NinjaJesus

My problem isn't the design. It's how it was executed. If you liked it— that's fine. I hope I like it— doubt it, though. And I found your first reply condescending ("idiotic"). Gave off a mad-fanboy-vibe. Now I can see that isn't so.

Most anticipated movie of the year by [frick]ing far. I'm traveling two hours by car and catching a [frick]ing PLANE for this. And only for this. I want to see it on IMAX 3D and the closest is in other state, so in another state it [frick]ing is.

Now ask WHERE is the fanbase for this, naysayers. This film will rule July, and deservedly so. NinjaJesus, ecstatic to hear that you love it, I never doubted for one second how [frick]ing brilliant this will be.

This whole year is Christimas for comic book movie fans, mates. Smiling from ear to ear. My spider-sense is tingling and my body is [frick]ing ready.

No Norman in the movie, but he is mentioned and is important to the plot. It is implied he is in the after credits scene.

The entire movie is a huge EPIC WIN.
I've been lucky enough to see it on friday at the première.
It's a warm hearted,tension filled,action packed,almost perfect Spidey movie.
Go enjoy it,i swear you wont regret it.
The chemistry between Pete and Gwen is amazing,Lizard is FANTASTIC and so is Ifans' Connors.
Sfx are killer and the Spidey suit is astonishing!
Don't be an asshole 'bout this flick without giving it a chanche.

WellDrawn I agree. Trying to pull a "more homemade look" and show us what they are showing us with this uniform?

It's not even that it's 2012ish. It's just ugly...

AMEN TO THAT WELLDRAWN!


everybody knows nomatter how much of a blindsheep fanboy you are (amazinghipster/ninjajesus) youd love a uneven stiched webing spiderman more akin to edge of time suit.

they coulda used the same material in the movie and just had itlike edge of time .

it would look soooooo much better.



oh and im not gonna ask ninja about his opinion on the movie hes probly give it 5668695058548759 out of 10, due to him being more fanboy then fan.
