The Amazing Spider-Man The Amazing Spider-Man General Discussion & Speculation Thread - Part 3

They should cast this guy as Harry:Vincent Kartheiser

Pete Campbel??? Nah he's too old for the role.

Hey gentlemen I thought I'd just share this in the meantime, pretty damn well done by the uploader imo!:

LOL. Nice video and welcome to the boards!

No he isn't.

 

[Spider-Who?]

I donno, IF Harry is in the sequel - which wouldn't be in production until 2013/2014...he'd be 35. And he doesn't exactly look young, like, at all. He's very clearly in his 30s. There's a limit to how old an actor is while playing a teenager.

Agreed. However, I hoping that Webb and Co. take a book out of the Nolan playbook and age the characters by at least 5 years for the next film.

In the sequel, have Peter in his final year of college or have him be fresh out of college.

In order to catch up with Garfields actual age, there should 2-8 years movie time between the next 2 sequels making it at least 15 years movie time between the first film and the 3rd film seeing as how he'll likely be 17 in this film. How I see it, at least 5 years between the first and 2 film and at least 8 between the 2nd and 3rd film, so he'll be 32 in the 3rd film.

It will set it up so that Andrew can still play Spidey without playing him as much younger than he actually is considering he'll be 31 when the 2nd film releases and 33 when the 3rd film is expected to release in 2016. A year of difference in age is much better than more than a decade in age difference between actor and character.

It will also allow for Spidey to appear as much more experienced hero and allow for them to take on some of the more reason storylines including him becoming a teacher.

Also, it will allow for certain plot points to progress quicker. Like Pete and MJ's relationship, which could have flourished between the 2nd and 3rd film, and, as said beforem Peter's experience as a hero.

That would be ideal. But the thing is that the plot of these films are tightly based on a multiple movie story arc of finding the secrets of his parents and shaping himself as Spider-man. And while you can still have both of these happen, it may not go hand in hand like they want it to. But since we still don't know the tone of this film, the tone of the sequels are way beyond us, so I'm excited for what we could see.

They should do something like this for the soundtrack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LST4ROj1NfI

I get what you're saying about how they should age Parker for the sequels but I don't think the only reason for doing so, should be to make the actor fit the look of the part better. Plus we don't know very much about how this first movie will end. It all depends on where the story takes us and what will actually make sense as far as a sequel is concerned. It's all very hypothetical at this point.

 

[GoldGoblin]

They could also make a movie in two years,or make part 2&3 back to back then make 4&5 back to back two years after that.I'm sure Garfield won't look much different in five years...

 

[TheWallCrawler]

Ok, this is for all you who are going to the event to see the footage: if they show the lizard, try to actually remember the look completely and details!!! It's really weird how the people who saw the SDCC footage just magicly forgot many things about the look, many people couldn't even remember if he had the labcoat or not, how is that even possible? And also, I really want to know if the lizard has a snout!! A long one or a short one, doesn't matter, I just wanna know if he has it!!

Yeah i wish i brought pen and paper to jot stuff down.Well he had no lab-coat i can tell you that and a short snout.

His tongue wasn't forked i think. I for one thinks he looks creepy as hell as did the girls he was licking. I dont think the ditko design would have worked on screen.

P.S all of this could have changed in the stuff we see on the 6th.

I don't think he is naked through the whole film though, he had the lab-coat in one of the megablocks toy sets:

Pretty sure he didn't have pants on.Im still under the impression that he will have multiple stages of the transformation. Also he was far to large to have a lab-coat on in the con footage.

 

[Troy_Parker]

Imma say he'll have the labcoat in *a* scene for a little while as a homage, before he tears it off or something.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

That's what I think will happen as well.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Harry Osborn: Anton Yelchin or bust.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Anton isn't a bad choice.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Anton is THE choice, imo.

His resemblance is uncanny to TSSM's Harry.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

He looks a bit too young, IMO. As he said, if they can make him look more around Garfield's age.

As to the Lizard, I saw this toy in a Spider-Man book the other day:

The design was YEARS ago and for SM3, reason I didn't remember. But, look at the snout - it kind of looks flat in this pic. It also, without the spikes, reminds me a lot of the Lizard designs we're seeing now. I think this toy may be the proportions we'll see in the movie in terms of snout. It could definitely look flat from another angle.

I've seen this toy in person and the snout is long compared to the TASM one and body is also thin compared to what we're getting with TASM.

I have some sorta bad news guys. TASM is no longer alone the fourth of July weekend.

Oliver Stone's Savages is now booked for that friday, July 6th. TASM will release 3 days earlier on Tuesday, July 3rd (of course).

What this will mean for the success of TASM is unknown but it would seem that Savages won't pose much a a threat to TASM which is still the only other new (and major) release set for that week.

I read that earlier and I wouldn't worry about it. It's typical hollywood counter programming..providing adults who aren't interested in a comic book flick to have something more adult to see and to also provide another option if spidey is sold out. Happens all the time but they're aiming for two different audiences

 

[Marvel Spider]

Spider-Man will still demolish that weekend.
