The Amazing Spider-Man Set Pictures, Videos and News Thread - Part 5

[White_Knight191]

Tell that to the guy that said BETTER THAN RAIMIZ!!!

It's looks good for home made...the physics just aren't done well.

Well ok, but nonetheless it's a pretty awesome video and the choreography and movements are great IMO.

[Pac-Master]

They're filming in NY now. From Twitter:
FIONA'S TALE (Spiderman)-filming is going on at the garage where I park at my neighborhood. Perhaps I'll take some action shots of spidy!

And another:

[Alex The Great]

We better get some ****ing pictures :argh:

[Pac-Master]

We better get some ****ing pictures :argh:
Agreed.

[Spider-ManHero12]

We need pictures!!

[Goran]

So they're filming right now?? :wow:

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yes.

[Pac-Master]

There's a big chance that we will get pictures.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Let's hope. It's about damn time.

[Goran]

We WILL get pictures.

Are you sure? :csad:
I really can't wait any longer...

[Pac-Master]

Are you sure? :csad:
I really can't wait any longer...
I'm pretty sure.

[White_Knight191]

Wow man, can't wait! I hope we get some pictures TODAY. :p

Don't know what it is but maybe a blurry pic of them shooting in NY?

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Hmmm, too blurry to tell.

[Pac-Master]

I don't think it is.

[Pac-Master]

the filming is in Manhattan NYC at 135th street and Riverside. Parking lot MPG at 3333 building

Does anyone think they should push back the release date to August to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man's first appearance? I think that would kick so much ass!Yes, yes and yes...and release it on a Friday!

Anything is better than the asinine TUESDAY release date this film is getting, as if it's a DVD. While every other major blockbuster film is being release on a FRIDAY, to ensure a huge opening weekend, the Music Execs at Sony think a Tuesday is the best release date for The Amazing Spider-Man. :dry:

Wait, it's been released on a Tuesday...? Why?

pictures naooo *shakes fist*

Wait, it's been released on a Tuesday...? Why?[/QUOTE]

I wanted to ask you guys this: Why the problem with the July 3 release date? It's a Tuesday but its the day before 4th of July and it's not uncommon for studios to release movies the day before the 4th if it falls in the middle of the week so they can try to get a huge haul for the holiday. I don't know how it is where everyone lives, but living in the DC area, most people take off the day before the 4th, or just the whole week. Plenty of parents will be at home with the kids or going out of town with the kids and movie theaters are ALWAYS packed that week because of everyone's different vacation schedules. The studio wants midnight Monday, the 3rd, the 4th and then the entire weekend. If the movie is good and has great word of mouth, they'll clean up. Plus, kids will on vacation and packing the theaters. I think it's a good move on their part and they certainly aren't the first to do it.

[Troy_Parker]

If that picture is real then it looks like Spidey will be eventually getting a belt. lol

Doesn't show much at all, but I'm hoping we get better ones soon. I'm guessing this is the Spider-Man vs Lizard bridge fight?

EDIT: For anyone who lives in NY... it's on 133rd & 12th street. Go get some pictures!

[chaseter]

It is dumb to release this on a Tuesday. First off, July 4th is in the middle of the frakking week next year. That means most people work Tuesday and Thursday. A lot of people still even have to work on Wednesday. Secondly, a lot of people have BBQs and pop fireworks. Movies don't have record breaking numbers on middle of the week openings and then of course the weekend that follows is lackluster results. Look at the top 10 July 4th openings of all time and see which ones fall during the week and look at their total domestic take. It's pretty sad. They have doomed this movie to make no more than 300 domestic off the bat.

The movie needs a really good starting point, and most flicks that do massive (record breaking numbers) do so between Friday-Sunday. This way, you make a huge weekend tally, and continue to make big money throughout the 4th of July weekdays leading up to the next weekend. I say go with what have worked for so many other big films. This is not the time to be changing the formula. And if the film gets bad word-of mouth, it'll be dead before it sees a first weekend.

[Spider-ManHero12]

That picture is better than nothing. Go out and get some morep ictures, guys! :up:

[Troy_Parker]

If that is from The Lizard fight scene... wow, can't wait to see how great it comes out. :)

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hopefully, we get more pictures tonight or by tommorow morning.

[NinjaCarm]

What picture!!!!!!!!!!!!????????????

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ The page before this.

[Alex The Great]

Oh man, I hope they're not killing off Gwen in a Lizard/Spidey fight on a bridge. Save that **** for the second and use the Green Goblin.

[Venom'sDad]

Looks like a pic from the previous film to me. The suit does not look the same.

[Pac-Master]

Not that pic. That's not from the movie..the picture I posted of the bridge is where filming is taking place.

[Venom'sDad]

Oh.

[Spider-Vader]

If the Transformers movies can be released in the middle of the week, then so can Spidey. Also, I don't expect this movie to make 400 million anyway. People will be cautious of the movie after Spider-Man 3, I'm seeing 320 million at the most.

[Pac-Master]

Wow... that's optimistic. I see it struggling to reach $250 mil.

[Spideyfan93]

The visual imagery there looks solid...living in Staten Island wishing I was at that location right now.

[Pac-Master]

The person who posted it sad that they're just testing the rigging right now, and real filming will commence there in about two weeks.

I see your point but this isn't the first time it's been done and I'm sure it won't be the last. There have been blockbusters in the past that have done this. I just feel they're betting on the film doing really well for the midnight showing (which you know people will take off work to go to) and then continuing that week in the same vein. But, we will see since we can't predict box office numbers a year in advance

Exactly. It can be done

[DieSmiling]

I don't get the "middle of the week" nonsense.

You guys realized Spider-Man 2 opened on a Wednesday, right?

[©KAW]

Wow... that's optimistic.

But, we will see since we can't predict box office numbers a year in advanceAll I'm saying is give the film a great starting point by giving it a first big weekend push (Fri-Sun) like 95% of the blockbuster films released. You can still make extra money during the week of 4th July.

[©KAW]

Yeah, but it was a sequel to the first Spider-Man movie ever. TASM is a reboot, no one should expect it do those numbers, especially after SM3. :o

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hmmm, I guess when I said "a picture of just the set wolud be nice", the possibility quick became fact.

[LegendaryCaleb]

a set pic? sadly im excited to see somethin new!!! even if its just a set pic of a bridge

this is spider-man...and with the proper trailer and commercializing (if it looks great) i could totally see this making $250 mill or more...

[Doctor Jones]

TDKR will kick its ass though. The only way it can hold up is if this is a great film. They're releasing it on a Tuesday because they want as much space from TDKR as possible. Let's hope this works. It could make under what's expected that day but as the week goes on it will make more since people aren't working. It's a risky thing to do.

I'm a huge fan of both, so I'll be rooting for both. TDKR will make bank, but this will have to work harder. Yeah, it's Spider-Man, but what comes out of this film has to impress people. This will make good money, worst case scenario, it comes below expectations. It will make its money back for sure, but I don't know if it can achieve the numbers of the other films.

But still, what I mean is that gravity was pretty messed up there.

I was just around Columbia yesterday, if I knew that was there I would have passed by. Guess I'll be making some more trips up there soon...

True but I see what they're trying to do. Plus, since it's still a year away, we have no idea the marketing campaign they're planning for the film and the awareness it will have once that time comes around. We're film geeks and love the character, so we keep up with it on a regular basis but when I talk to some of my female friends about the movie, they have no idea anything going on right now because they aren't on the net keeping up with it. If the marketing is right and the awareness is there, it should clean up that entire week because really it is a week once you include the midnight monday showings. The key for any movie like this is to get the kids there and while some people think a general audience may be confused for a while, kids don't think like that. They see "Spider-Man" and see toys and posters and coloring books, etc and they're sold. Who's behind the mask is secondary to them.

When Val Kilmer replaced Michael Keaton, I noticed but I didn't care because it was still Batman and thats who I wanted to see.

Looks like they will be shooting a huge action scene! Just look at the metal frames attached to the bottom of the bridge... Maybe a swinging scene? :awesome:

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

This movie may not have the hype-train rolling the way The Dark Knight Rises is... not to mention it doesn't have the resulting steam left behind like The Dark Knight.

Plus it's most likey Nolan and Bales last movie... so it has that going for it.

BUT... I still maintain that once the marketing properly starts for this movie, it will make bank. I mean it's SPIDER-MAN (second only to Batman in terms of popularity - lets face it, its always going back an forth) and it will look and feel fresh.

It might not have the impact the Raimi films had... but thats ok, the franchise is licking its wound. IF its good, it'll most likely make a killing with the sequel.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO MISS GETTING DOWN ON FRIDAY.

They'll probably end up adjusting the release date by a few days or something. It's happened with other movies.

Don't listen to him. He lies. He described what the suit was gonna look like after we got the first picture back in January and he was almost completely wrong.

Wow. It is soo quiet in here. AMS gets only 5 views.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^ Sadly, lol.

[Spider-ManHero12]

[Pac-Master]

There are conflicting reports. One person said that nothing exciting will happen for about two weeks, and another person said that filming will start there today.

[Venom'sDad]

Believe this guy.

[chaseter]

I don't get the "middle of the week" nonsense.

You guys realized Spider-Man 2 opened on a Wednesday, right?

It also made about 30 million less than its predecessor and of course as someone mentioned was a highly anticipated sequel from a record breaking movie so that hype helped it as well. The hype for this won't be as high as SM2 or SM3 and as I mentioned, people aren't going to go out to the movies in droves if they have to work the next day.

Sony has automatically undercut this movie by releasing it on a Wednesday as opposed to a Friday. It's common sense that more people would see this on a Friday than a Wednesday and if you look at all the mid week July 4th releases, the domestic numbers are pretty sad. Only 2 have made more than 300 million and the highest one, SM2, July 4th fell on the weekend and not in the middle of the week. Transformers barely crossed 300.

This movie won't get close to SM1-3 numbers.

[Troy_Parker]

I actually the hype for this movie is gonna be through the roof once posters and stuff start being released.

[chaseter]

The hype won't be nearly as large as with SM2 and SM3. The fact that this is a reboot automatically lessens the hype for the GA.

The hype will be huge on the internet but the vast majority of butts in the seats aren't on superhero forums. Plus...it is released on a Wednesday and in a week the biggest hyped movie of that year, TDKR, will be released.

[craigdbfan]

Very true.

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Seems like releasing it the Friday before July 4th would be a good thing, but what do I know.

[Pac-Master]

That's the day Star Trek 2 is supposed to come out. That would be huge competition for Spidey.

[socool]

Well, I just got back. They hadn't started filming yet. So I saw nothing. I took one picture, but it came out terrible so I deleted it. It wasn't anything different than what we have now anyway so don't cry. I'll check back tomorrow at a later time, see if there is any filming going on.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, thanks anyway, socool! :up:

[Troy_Parker]

Just wondering, has anyone got a screenshot or something of The Daily Bugle newspaper clipping, which had the first teaser of black suited Spidey...? It was on the official website for a few months, I feel stupid for not printscreening it, it was cool. lol

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ I have a picture of it, but it's on my other computer, lol. I haven't transferrd everything from my old computer onto my new one yet.

[Troy_Parker]

Really? :D When you do that, could ya send me a pm with it, please? :)

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Sure thing! I've been meaning to do it very soon. It's just that I've got a bad virus in my other computer, and I need to get it out first. It'll probably be a few more days or more until I get it all done, but I'll let you know/PM you.

[Troy_Parker]

Ah okay, thanks man! =D

[Pac-Master]

Well, I just got back. They hadn't started filming yet. So I saw nothing. I took one picture, but it came out terrible so I deleted it. It wasn't anything different than what we have now anyway so don't cry. I'll check back tomorrow at a later time, see if there is any filming going on.
Eh, just go back on the 30th. That's when we know for sure that they're filming.

[Spider-Boy]

The hype won't be nearly as large as with SM2 and SM3.

Opinion stated as fact, you really need to stop doing that. Your pesimistic "opinionated" posts are irrelevant and only discouraging people. Lighten up.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Eh, just go back on the 30th. That's when we know for sure that they're filming.

Awh, man. It is tooo long for me. I just NEED to see a single set pics will do good for me.

Chaseter is the spideyboard's doom-mongerer and I agree with you. Whether the public's anticipation will be as big as the previous movies' is one thing, that's debatable but in terms of TAS' hype and marketing machine, Sony are going to market and promote the snot out of this movie just like the others if not more so.

You can't deny the movie has more competition this time... and a much greater hill to climb.

All eyes are on The Dark Knight Rises... justifiably so.

Sony are REALLY going to have to pull off a fresh and exciting marketing campaign this time.

[Ajendo]

Of course, which is why I said Sony's marketing campaign for the movie would be on the same level as the first 3 or even bigger. TAS is facing off serious competition, it's a reboot with new cast and crew and SM3 is still relatively fresh in people's minds. This movie first and foremost needs to kick all kinds of ass and really live up to its name sake and secondly, the marketing has to be phenomenal.

Who knows... they may go the Batman Begins direction with the marketing.

I dunno, i'm optimistic simply because it's Spider-man and as a brand name he rarely fails... but I don't think this movie will have quite the impact on the box office that the Raimi films had.

But we have well over a year to see the tide change.

...in regards to that statement, the reason that would be is simply because Raimi's was the first live action Spider-Man and not because of the quality of those mediocre films.

What I'm hoping is that these new Spider-Man films will be made and taken ala Batman Begins. Hopefully made well with more substance and depth, people will realize just how much better they are then the cookie cutter interpretation of Spider-Man they were subjected too previously, and then will anticipate "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" ala The Dark Knight.

Again, this is how I hope it goes down.

So so glad they rebooted, OMG. :awesome:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Do I want this film to make as much as Raimi's films did on opening? Absoloutely! SPider-Man is my favorite superhero. Do I think it will? No. Summer 2012 is a jam packed summer. You've got so many films coming out such as Avengers and TDKR. Spidey has competition, so I think the best marketing tactic is to borrow from their Spider-Man 3 marketing strategy. Spidey was almost everywhere back in 2006 and 2007.

No offense, but we were talknig about box office numbers, not quality. You're making it look like you're trying to start an arguement. I also don't understand how the hell some of you guys think this will go down the "Nolan" way. There's no denying that the first 3 Spider-Man films made so much money because they were quality. Anybody who says otherwise is in denial.

[NinjaCarm]

^

I'm not trying to start an argument, you're thinking that cause my opinion is not yours, sadly. And I am bringing a discussion in terms of "numbers".

This could be a less of a hit but when people see how well made it is, hopefully, they will gravitate towards the sequel big time.

I knew you would chime in with that kind of response. You have to learn to accept other people's opinions dude, seriously already.

Not my opinion, there was quality in terms of design and look, however not in substance and acting, IMO. Very swallow, cookie cutter, bland, and poor.

I'm leaving it at that.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well, if that's the case, then I'm sorry, but it doesn't it look that way. There's a difference between talking box office numbers and talking about how much someone wants a film to be as good as batman Begins and have it's sequel as good as TDK.


This could be a less of a hit but when people see how well made it is, hopefully, they will gravitate towards the sequel big time. If it's great, then people it'll get extremely excited for a sequel. Here's hoping.

I knew you would chime in with that kind of response. You have to learn to accept other people's opinions dude, seriously already. I do. I always say to each his own, and things like that. I just find it odd that people would try to say that the only reason the films made money were because it was Spidey's first time on the big screen when a number of critics (such as Roger Ebert) and fans declared S-M2 (2004) the greatest superhero film of all time back in 2004. Well, the majority of people, anyway.

^^ Ummmmm....

[Venom'sDad]

I guess the question is: is Batman considered a "Superhero"? He does not have any superhuman abilities. So maybe he is considered the best comic book film made of all-time.

[socool]

I guess the question is: is Batman considered a "Superhero"? He does not have any superhuman abilities. So maybe he is considered the best comic book film made of all-time.

That's what a lot of people say, as well as me. Spider-Man 2 is best superhero film, The Dark Knight is best comic book film. But almost all superhero films suck so saying SM2 is the best, isn't MUCH of a compliment...

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

That seems like splitting hairs... they are both comic book characters working within the same genre.

Even if Christopher Nolan excels at distorting that given genre.

[Ajendo]

I agree that is splitting hairs.

Powers or no powers batman is a superhero, if bats isn't a superhero, what do you people regard ironman to be??

Look, this new spidey film doesn't have the freshness of the 2002 movie for obvious reasons and yes, TAS will have competition that no movie wants to have but spider-man is sony's summer tent pole movie, their golden goose, there's no way sony are going to give this movie a BB-style marketing campaign, are you crazy??? Like I said, sony will do what they've always done when marketing spidey and that's spare no expense and go all out. In fact, this movie more so than the previous movies needs a bigger marketing push.

[Spider-ManHero12]

S-M3's marketing was through the roof, so I'm not sure how much more they would be able to market this. I mean, there's viral amrketing, but that's not entirely necessary.

[Troy_Parker]

I can see some Daily Bugle viral marketing campaign stuff happening for this movie.

"Masked man prevents bank robbery" with a blurry picture of Spidey swinging away or something, I don't know. xD

[Ajendo]

The POINT is, that sony will not be skimping on their efforts to put together an effective marketing campaign. They have always done this and besides, with Disney now keeping an ever so watchful eye on Sony and their handling of this movie, Sony aren't going to want to give Disney a reason to start flapping their gums.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

It's funny... I really don't think the general public got bored or tired of the Raimi/Maguire Spider-man. Sure the fans ***** and moan about it... but alot of my friends who couldn't give a toss about Spider-man or comic book movies in general really enjoyed all 3 movies.

The first Spider-man was on TV over here this week... and apart from a few cheesy moments with the Goblin (Yikes!) it still felt very fresh and a solid movie.

So the marketing will simply have to sell this whole new look/actor thing.

And I bet a few months before the movie comes out, my friends will be asking me ''Where's Tobey Maguire?''

[GoblinWhirlwind]

^^^ That is true enough, my mom loved Spidey 3 and said it was her favorite of the entire trilogy. Only us fans get hung up over details, costume appearances, casting, etc. Aside from all the nonsense, one of the main reasons I don't like Spidey 3 is that Raimi completely changed who shot Uncle Ben. My mom on the other hand, not knowing anything about Spidey loved the movie.

I'm sure most people will be like "New Spider-Man? Nice!"

[Scarlettess]

^ Well at the moment most of the GA still think this is a Spider-Man 4 movie. and there the GA who actually know a new spider-man is in production, alot of people still don't know theres a new one coming out, but that'll soon change no doubt Sony will market this as much as they physically are able to.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I can see some Daily Bugle viral marketing campaign stuff happening for this movie.

"Masked man prevents bank robbery" with a blurry picture of Spidey swinging away or something, I don't know. xD That could work. I had some idea for viral marketing when Spider-Man 4 was still happening, but now I forgot them.

[Goku Goes Crazy]

The lack of news is killing me!

[Mary Jane Watson]

Ya, just go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbD9lpUvV7U, then you can see all the comments. They were like Oh this is so awesome movie.

[Mary Jane Watson]

The lack of news is killing me!

Not just you. We all do that too :)

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Ya, just go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbD9lpUvV7U, then you can see all the comments. They were like Oh this is so awesome movie.

Yep... the general audience don't care about how Venom was handled.

They don't care about the switch in Uncle Ben's killer...

And they probably dont care about Peter's dancing.

Only the die-hard fans would complain about that... and rightly so I suppose.

BUT I really don't think the previous franchise was in a state of complete disarray. Tobey Maguire is still Spider-man for the general public. This reboot will bring something fresh to the series of course... but im really intrigued as to how the public will react to this new interpretation.

[Mary Jane Watson]

^^Thats sad. I reallly hate Tobey as PP , it is just IMO. Ah well.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

^^Thats sad. I reallly hate Tobey as PP , it is just IMO. Ah well.

Well at least there is room for improvement...

[Peter_Parker123]

is there still a chance that i can be part of the movie as a extra or is too late ?

[Mary Jane Watson]

^^ IDK lol. They are fliming in NYC right now. That's all I kno.

[Peter_Parker123]

i gonna try to be on it as '' RECEPTIONISTS & SECRETARIES'' (20S-EARLY 30S) ''

[Troy_Parker]

That could work. I had some idea for viral marketing when Spider-Man 4 was still happening, but now I forgot them.

And they can use one of the blurry set pics because those are the only ones we seem to get. ;D

[Spider-ManHero12]

[Troy_Parker]

Y'know, Spider-Man 3 isn't as bad as people on here make it out to be, I agree that it isn't exactly on par with the previous two. Sure, there's a part of me that wishes Venom was more like how he is in the comics and sure, there's a part of me that wishes they hadn't switched Uncle Bens killer.

With that being said, I think I'll go watch the complete trilogy now. xD

[Spider-ManHero12]

Y'know, Spider-Man 3 isn't as bad as people on here make it out to be I still love Spider-Man 3. S-M2 (2004) is my favorite of the trilogy and my absoloute favorite comic book film of all time with Spider-Man (2002) coming in at a close second. Just a fantastic trilogy, in my personally opinion. I may watch the trilogy again myself.

It's a damn fine trilogy... and certainly the most consistent, in terms of quality, out of all the superhero franchises so far. I do still want Nolan's Bats to become the best superhero trilogy tho. :yay: sorry.

Raimi deserves all the praise in the world... and while he stumbled with his third effort (and yes I refuse to just blame the studio) his passion, commitment and understanding of the character can not be denied.

Some people would disagree with that last part. I for one don't think he fully understood peter as a character. He was very whiny and too much like his pre-spider-man days. you could tell he tried and wanted to make these movies. His understanding of the character was loose but his love was immense.

More whining about how Raimi didn't "get" the character of Peter Parker. Peter Parker, as the character exists in the comics is for all intents and purposes, a blank slate. This is not a complex character we're talking about translating from page to screen here (I love the early Ditko work, but Stan was holding him back- as he did with all his artists). There are so many variations that it's mind boggling.

Ok, so Parker didn't crack wise all the time and wasn't more "confident". Oh, and pity, he showed emotions (a big NO NO for male comic book fans, I know). Otherwise, looking at it in the literal way most around here do, I see no departure from the comic book version of the character.

True, Peter Parker in the Raimi Spider-Man films was not a wise-cracking, John Mcclane tough guy (and despite what the character has devolved to, I would argue that he never was)... and he certainly wasn't the idealized, male-fantasy figure that comic book nerds love to project themselves on to, but he did seem like a real person and not a generic cardboard cut-out hero (which obviously resonated with audiences) so mission accomplished. I am sure this new film will bring a similar but different variation of the character!

Bring on more complaints about how Parker was a whiney cry-baby, completely missing the point of my post.

[RetroNaz]

I think the Peter Parker that was crafted in the Raimi films worked more for the GA than they did for being a resemblance to his comic book character.

And that's a fine line that any director would have to make some tough decisions on.

Ultimately, Raimi's character worked in 1 and 2 because the movies were a hit.

I feel like Venom is what basically ruined the 3rd film, as everything bad about that film was either related to the Venom (thrown in the mix with too many bad guys already, taking the focus off Sandman/Harry), the Black suit (emo Pete) and the "dance number" lol.

[Venom'sDad]

You know guys, as silly as the "Dance" was, it's not what ruin the film; and actually fit what Raimi was trying to convey as far as the subtle mental change in Peter, cause by the Symbiote, on his psyche. What ruin the film was over zealous, money hungry "Producers" interferring with what the director and writers wanting to do.

So lets get over it....that was so four years ago. :dry:

[Mary Jane Watson]

I dont think that they will get over it. either I do too. :whatever:

[Pac-Master]

I'm not sure how reliable this site is, but it claims to have new info on Stan's cameo:
This has been reported before from Nuke the Fridge, but we’d like to share it with our readers.

Below is what we know so far.

"The Lizard and Spider-Man will be involved in a huge battle inside a high school library. Stan Lee will play a librarian organizing books. Stan Lee will be distracted and will not notice the fight”

While being distracted and organizing the books, Stan Lee will be jamming to his music with his headphones on and gesturing with his hands like an orchestra conductor.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I can picture Stan doing that now, lol.

Yup, no problem.

OMG that sounds horrendous.:dry:

[©KAW]

I still prefer Stan Lee's scene to end up on the cutting room floor where it belongs. But how can it not look like visual cheese? The Lizard scenes should be taken blood serious. Of all scenes in the f---ing movie, why do they have to f--- with THE LIZARD scene?

[Spider-Fan]

I think giving Stan a cameo in the film is fine. They don't make the films bad. They're just a nice little nod to the man that created one of the biggest comic characters ever.

[©KAW]

Then why am I afraid...why do I scare so easily?

[SpaceWay2009]

lol Sounds good to me. :)

Oh lighten up. :oldrazz: It's going to be like a 30 second cameo, probably less and come on, you honestly expected a Spider-Man movie with zero cheese?

[Spideyfan93]

30 second cameo?! Cut that in half...and that might be too much.

Most of his cameos didn't run over 10 seconds...aside from Spider-Man 3, which contained an unnecessary amount of time.

[©KAW]

Oh lighten up. :oldrazz: It's going to be like a 30 second cameo, probably less and come on, you honestly expected a Spider-Man movie with zero cheese?
No, but to put cheese right in the middle of battle between Spidey/Lizard, come on. If you don't sell The Lizard as a serious threat, Spidey might as well be fighting a Sleestak from The Land of the Lost.

Remember that scene with the little girl and JJJ wanting to buy her camera, during the final battle in SM3--or Raimi's wicked cool kids. All it takes is a few seconds to ruin an entire scene.

Oh God. I cringed at that part. I guess the only thing we can do is wait and see.

Hey, it can't be as bad as the camera scene. :P

The way I see it: this fight takes place throughout the school, Spidey and The Lizard coming crashing into the library, we get like I dunno, 10 seconds (?) of Stan jamming, paying no notice whatsoever to the two. Spidey decides to take the battle elsewhere and gets out of the library, with The Lizard in hot pursuit. xD

[©KAW]

Now think about that scene without Stan Lee and the quality goes up in an instant. This is what most comic book directors don't seem to comprehend.

Why so serious? I love how everyone jumps at the mere mention of anything even slightly resembling comedy, humor or "cheesiness" (as so often referred to on these boards). This is Spider-Man, a character who is, for the most part, light hearted and often walks the fine line of light hearted cheesiness and seriousness. It's part of the appeal of the character. Even the Dark Knight had some cheesy moments and one-liners, etc...

So, while this particular brand of "humor" (as it's described anyway) isn't particularly appealing to me, it's impossible not to see or understand why this sort of thing would make it's way into a movie made and marketed to such a wide audience with the purpose of mass appeal.

Besides, I'm sure that Spidey will clash with the Lizard a few times throughout the film.

I just remembered. This scene reminds me exactly of the fight in the cafe in the last Harry Potter film, where the waitress is in the kitchen with headphones on, oblivious to the chaos erupting around her.

Sounds a bit too similar to me.

You don't have to ruin what should be a dramatic and serious battle scene, by adding a well known figure head [Stan Lee] or Sam Raimi's kids into the mix of it all. And please don't try to compare Nolan's 95% serious Dark Knight film to these mediocre Spider-Man flicks. Where comedy, cheese, over-acting, bad acting or whatever you want to call it, makes for cringe worthy scenes that take you right out of the film. :dry:

Aw, come on KAW, I don't think that a tiny scene that can ruined entire final fight. All my friends thought that was really funny. It was really nice break from " serious pace" in the story. If you know what I am saying.

Anyways. wow...we finalllly have a nice and exciting news in here. :whatever:

Oh, I see, you missed the part where I distinctly noted:

"This brand of humor isn't appealing to me".

I absolutely think stuff like this takes you right out of the scene (same with the Raimi kids in SM3 and the yellow spandex comment in X-Men) I don't endorse nor do I have any excuses for this kind of fluff, but it doesn't take a genius to see why some of these decisions are made to put this corny humor into films like this (whether we like it or not).

I agree, what an ill timed cameo if I ever heard of one.

Awful. :doh:

[Spider-Fan]

THERE I agree. Unless it is something like pulling a person away from the rubble in SM1 and SM2. That is okay in a Lizard scene, but full on interaction is stupid.

[Spider-ManHero12]

And here wo go again with people wanting a film that's beyond serious.

[craigdbfan]

The Spider-Man Rises.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ LOl, I'm starting to think that's what people want this to be. I wish everybody could just lighten up a little and at LEAST give this cameo a chance.

[craigdbfan]

How can anyone get so festered up about a 3 second cameo of the co creator of the series/character they apparently love?

It's asinine, really.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed!

[Peter_Parker123]

Din't Stan say that is cameo was 30 second ?

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Not sure.

[socool]

I will admit one thing, depending on how it is shot, it could pull me out of the scene dramatically, but once it cuts to the next scene, I'll forget it happened. I'm not worried, not to mention, KAW, just because Stan Lee's cameo is there doesn't downgrade the Lizard. Why do you think this? The Lizard could be scary as hell or brutal as all hell in the background (or foreground, depending on how they shoot it) while fighting Spidey.

[TheWallCrawler]

No, but to put cheese right in the middle of battle between Spidey/Lizard, come on. If you don't sell The Lizard as a serious threat, Spidey might as well be fighting a Sleestak from The Land of the Lost.

I know that a scene with Stan Lee immediately makes us think of a cheesy scene, but what if Stan Lee is not there for comic relief? What if he has a serious scene? Basicly, what if he like "evacuates" people out of the library when Spidey and Lizard fight there

If it would be something like that I wouldn't mind at all :woot:

[LegendaryCaleb]

Hopefully his cameo is just one of those moments where you say "Oh theres Stan"
right in the middle of the action scene...doesnt take away...just something you notice...but of course...I dont think that will happen :(

[Spider-ManHero12]

*sigh* I'm shocked at how many people don't want Stan to have a cameo. As I said, I think fans have bcome spoiled and are asking for something they aren't going to get. I mean, it's al ldown to opinion, sure, but nobody complained before.

[LegendaryCaleb]

I wouldnt call it spoiled...I would call it opinion if I had to title it something.
I'm all for a cameo...I just hate his speaking parts and think most of his cameos have been comedy relief at terrible times...this isnt any different...Its small but it could be a hiccup in an exciting movie scene...why does he have to have a cameo during a major fighting scene? thats why im upset...anywhere else would be ok.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, if you think about the comics, there were times when goofy things happened during battles. Maybe a certain civilians reaction or things like that. Beasides, the cameo is probably pretty quick, anyway.

[LegendaryCaleb]

well as long as its quick and doesnt dampen the action...id never object to such a thing...i never minded it much in the comics...usually the goofy moment was early in the fight anyway and then as it got more intense it never went that way again...if its like that i wouldnt mind it either...i just dont want it to be straight up corny...im sick of that stuff with the last series...i respect that people love those films...heck i still like them...i just hated how many corny unneeded scenes were piled into each movie...in the worst times...

[chaseter]

Wait wait wait...so some of you people are angry that Stan might have a comedic cameo during a fight scene that might cause the tension/action to be interrupted and ruin the moment but, the same people want Spider-Man to quip during a battle???

Am I missing something?

[Whiskey Tango]

Am I missing something?

Seems like business as usual around here.

I think Stan's bit sounds great. :up:

Yeah that's right, it's ridiculous. I'd rather have a faithful Spider-Man quip for once in film delivered by a capable actor, than another painful excuse for a Stan Lee cameo, as if we haven't seen his toupee fly it's way into film the last ten years.

You heard right.

[Whiskey Tango]

They should change the title to Spider-Man: Serious Business.

[Spider-Fan]

How did we see too much of Stan in the SM movies in the past 10 years? He was barely in SM1 or SM2, and he was in a large crowd in both for half a second :huh:

SM3 I'll give you, but it was charming.

It is my opinion that his very presence diminishes the very scene he is in, which I utterly detest.

I don't need him showing up in every Marvel film known to man. We know how legendary he is.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I had enough cheese, water-down contrived dialogue/scenes, Sam Raimi's kids/brothers, etc, to diminish the films they were in.

I want all that garbage gone. Is that too much to ask?

Yeah, no more Stan Lee cameos for me, I saw enough the last ten years. Yes. I hope this answers your question.

[Spider-Fan]

Raimi is not the only person who puts Stan Lee into these movies, and I'll grant you some of his cameos have been over the top, but for the most part, he just gets stuck into the background and I don't see the harm.

Denis Leary talks about The Amazing Spider-man

"I'm not allowed to say anything about the ending of 'Spider-Man' — or the ending of 'Rescue Me,' " he told us at the opening festivities for the Tribeca Film festival. "It's verboten! I can't tell you!"

But wait! It seems Leary did in fact tell us something significant: that the funeral scene in question takes place at the end of the movie.

So, does that mean Captain Stacy dies? Is the funeral for someone else entirely? It's all speculation at the moment. One thing, though, seems clear: the funeral, coming at the conclusion of the movie, can't be for some insignificant character; that just wouldn't make storytelling sense. We'll leave it at that for now.

Leary himself didn't dive back into the "Spider-Man" vaults for research purposes, reading up on his character's history. Instead he relied on the knowledge of both helmer Marc Webb and the webslinger's creator.

"I just really spent a lot of time with the director and I got some information from Stan Lee and the guys at Marvel," he told MTV News. "It's the first time I got to play a comic book guy."

You heard right. Stna Lee is in the movie, man. Maybe you'll likw his cameo, who knows?

This is one of the many reasons why I think some of you want something that ISN'T THERE and his is directed to alot of people, not just one. And connecting the dots is fairly easy. No cameo, seirous tone, darker story, Batman Begins type film with a sequel like TDK. This just proves my point. It's...stupid to even think about. Can't we be excited about this film because it's Spider-Man and not because you gusy think it may have a chance to impact like TDK? WHy does this have to be like TDK?

Leary himself didn't dive back into the "Spider-Man" vaults for research purposes, reading up on his character's history. Instead he relied on the knowledge of both helmer Marc Webb and the webslinger's creator.

"I just really spent a lot of time with the director and I got some information from Stan Lee and the guys at Marvel," he told MTV News. "It's the first time I got to play a comic book guy."

Cool interview, though, as someone else said, I think it's obvious who's dieing.

[Rodrigo90]

A funeral at the end? Where I have viewed a scene like that before in another Spider-Man movie?

And also...STAN HAS A TOUPEE?

[NinjaCarm]

Raimi is not the only person who puts Stan Lee into these movies, and I'll grant you some of his cameos have been over the top, but for the most part, he just gets stuck into the background and I don't see the harm.

And that's fine, that's your opinion, I told you mine, I find his cameos utterly annoying at this point. The first two times were enough for me. And yes I know Raimi is not the only one putting him in as cameos, as I stated, the last ten years of films, including Fantastic Four, Daredevil, etc.

I'd rather see a boigraphy on History Channel or a new book on the man's life rather than silly cameos. I admire Stan Lee to the utmost. He's "the man."

[chaseter]

Stan Lee's cameos amount to an easter egg...nothing more, nothing less. There are tons of easter eggs in every superhero movie that the director/writer's put in as a nod to fans. Stan has only had a couple of cameos that were cringe worthy because he was allowed to talk/act and he isn't a good actor (Fantastic Four 2 and Spider-Man 3). All of his other roles have been perfectly fine and didn't take away anything from the movie.

Yes, seconded that.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Nah... took me out of the movie in Spider-man 3. They layered it on too thick.

His cameo in Iron Man was perfect. Quick, amusing and respectful... Nothing more is needed.

[White_Knight191]

Well I liked his cameo in The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man 1 and Spider-Man 2..

[Spider-ManHero12]

I remember when people used to love Stan being in the movies. I'll be honest, there's a part of me that really dislikes how far we've come with comic book movies in terms of our attitudes.

[chaseter]

It used to be try and spot Stan and now it seems people want to vomit in their popcorn bags if the creator of the character they love so much says 'Hello' on screen.

[Doctor Jones]

My favorite Stan cameo is in IM.

He was barely seen in SM1 and SM2 anyway. It's a blink or you miss type of thing.

[Spider-ManHero12]

It used to be try and spot Stan and now it seems people want to vomit in their popcorn bags if the creator of the character they love so much says 'Hello' on screen. Very true. It's ad how spoiled some fans have become. Peopel trash on the director OR creator as soon as something is done they don't like.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

No I enjoy seeing him... I mean yes, it would be a bonus if he could act... but apart from that it's a joy.

Apart from Spider-man 3... Stan works best in one word or unspoken cameos.

[chaseter]

I agree that his cameos should be easter eggs. It only gets hammy or cheesy when he is allowed to act out a scene but that has only been in two movies that it played out badly in and the man has been in over a dozen movies if I remember correctly.

[NinjaCarm]

Nah... took me out of the movie in Spider-man 3. They layered it on too thick.

Agreed.

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Agreed.

Yeah in Spider-man 3, it was so heavy-handed... I though he was about to break the fourth wall and shout ''Excelsior!!''.

Keep his cameos simple. Always works better.

[Rodrigo90]

Stan not having a cameo is like Charlie Sheen not having a ****ed up rant. Give the public what they want right?

[Whiskey Tango]

I know if I was directing one of these things I'd want to give Stan a tiny part, if for no other reason than because he enjoys doing it and I'd feel like I owed it to him. And if the anti-fun people didn't like it I guess they could take a hike.

If I was making "one of these" I would feel obligated to making the best possible Spider-Man film, with minimal cheese and anything to distort from the value of the picture.

I would not feel obligated, especially after the fourth film, to put him in the film. At all.

In other words, I would feel indebited to the FANS of Spider-Man, who have made this character long lasting after umpteenth years of existence.

[Rodrigo90]

Its only a cameo from one of the coolest creators on the planet,in a movie about his own creation. Maybe he should just drop dead? :csad:

[Mary Jane Watson]

I want to be a director of Spider Man.:twisted:

How do you know Marc Webb isn't doing this? Stan Lee's cameo is the only confirmed thing so far that has any "cheese" value attached. How do you know this isn't the only cheese in the film?

You keep calling it cheese but apparently not everyone feels that way. Tough noogies.

Nice sarcastic remark that doesn't further the discussion at all, good job. All it was was a swing at me.

Very telling. Very telling.

Never said not everyone did not like it, I can tell they don't hence voicing my oppposite opinion, in a forum, where people voice opinions.

I don't know really, I'm just voicing my opinion on cameos we have seen, and why I would prefer not to have them.

[Spider-ManHero12]

This is what i'm trying to say. People are beng so positive about this (I'm excited) and thinking it's going to be revolutionary that they fail to see what type of wrongs CAN happen with this film and ARE possible.

Peopel may complain about his FF:ROTSS cameo, but it was very much like his cameo in the wedding issue of Fantastic Four along with jck Kirby.

I love how posters like you cop an abrasive attitude and then when someone fires back at you suddenly you're just "voicing your opinion" as if you're all innocent and didn't word your posts in the most caustic manner possible. Nice try.

Now thats something new :)

I am jealous of that little boy..

[SpeterMan3]

Purrrty cool. :up:

[PSYLENTGuardian]

Garfield looks so freaked out.

Cool pic, though.

[Doctor Jones]

I think because Garfield was about to get talked dirty to by Stone and promised sex later when the kid came over and then just killed it.

But seriously, I love the fact a kid knows Garfield is the new Spider-Man. I know it's one kid, but it shows that Raimi was right. For a kid, anybody you put in the suit and Spider-Man is their hero.

[Showtime]

Come on soccol don't you find it remotely entertaining, lol

I don't. It's annoying.

:o buy a sense of humor please

Stop spamming threads. :o

I am wondering what they were talking about before that kid got into this scene. :oldrazz:

[Spidey_62]

That's a great photo, it's so nice of them to do that.

[Mrpaul]

Nice

[Mace Bloodstone]

she looks about 12 :oldrazz:

Garfield looks so freaked out.

Cool pic, though.

I think that's just his face. He always looks freaked out in almost any of his photos, even the photoshoots, lol.

[Whiskey Tango]

Garfield looks so freaked out.

I would be too, that kid has serious demon eyes.

Yes, b/c someone knows who he is :doh:





Spider-man's identity is about revealed!

Any word on a teaser trailer in front of one of the Marvel films?
