The connection between Curt Connors and Peter
"Curt Connors is both a mentor and an adversary, and that's what I think is fascinating about that villain character. That's what makes this story different."
"In the same way as Peter is looking for his parents, Curt is looking to complete the circle in his life. They both dance to the tune of the same moral question."
How the movie will deal with Peter's missing parents
"We're creating a world of our own devising, but we take cues from the comics," he explained. "In terms of the CIA agent thing, we aren't really going down that road in particular, not in this movie anyways, but there's a lot of stuff to explore and define and that was part of the fun of creating this universe in a new and different way."
In the comics Peter's parents, Richard and Mary are actually CIA field agents. In the early days of the comic book, the parents were just ignored, or were used as a story device in a Chameleon storyline which featured the parental pair as robots. But Mr. Webb has stated in this video that he wants to bring his own approach.
Sam Raimi completely glossed over this part of Peter's story and I'm looking forward to seeing which angle they take on the subject. If you're gonna reboot a franchise then at least bring something to the table that hasn't been dealt with before.
The Amazing Spider-Man focuses more on Peter Parker’s high school days and the development of his powers while navigating the troubles of a brainy geek in high school. And starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Denis Leary, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, and Sally Field, the films swings into theaters July 3, 2012 in 3D!
