Could be filming with supporting cast.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

ok, they're almost done with filming
Teaser trailer and a site update Sony?

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Ya, good guess.

 

[Crimson King]

Isn't it a bit early to be demanding a teaser? We're still a year away from release. I'd be surprised if we got an actual teaser trailer before November. Best odds are for the SDCC attendes to see some scenes and that's it.

^ only if it leaked

 

[TheWallCrawler]

Even though it seems that we have been getting a lot of stuff, especially now that there have been so many set pics, but how much stuff have we gotten from Sony? That's right, only two pics of Andrew in the suit.
A few pics of the suit from different angles wouldn't hurt would it? Right now we have seen the full clear design only from the set photos, and since the suit has looked so much better in the official pics, I would like to see a full official view of the design

I'd settle for a synopsis of the film, that includes the names Connors and The Lizard.

So you'd settle for:

"The Amazing Spider-Man is a Spider-man movie where Spider-Man acts like Spider-Man. In the comics, his friend Doctor Connors is The Lizard. Crazy, right?"

Lol.

Well Sony hasn't actually confirmed that The Lizard is the villain... and who knows, maybe there's another minor villain too.

It'd be nice to get something more official rather than reports we've seen/heard.

I double checked the signs, they're all over the place by my office, so they're filming tomorrow from 11am-4am between Broadway and Park Ave South from Union Square til about 21st/22nd street I think (I didn't walk up as I was headed downtown). Seems like its a pretty big area they're using for whatever they will be shooting. I'll keep you guys updated tomorrow and will have my camera on me.

Great. Thanks, dude!

So, I think I missed the whole discussion about Uncle Ben's death...I saw there were some set pics of Peter sitting up in the trains rafters while his uncle was looking for him and then he gets shot, etc... Do you think they're going to go with the "random senseless crime" thing, having the guy that kills Ben be a total stranger, or will they at some point, have Peter fail to stop the burglar (more similar to the comics).

I'd really prefer (and it most likely will be) the latter. It wouldn't make sense for the crime to be completely random as it wouldn't be Peter failing to use the power he was given responsibly.

Then again, there are only so many ways this origin can be executed.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Not 100% sure yet, but alot of peope are speculating, such as myself, are speculating that Ben is looking for Peter, thinks the random criminal is Peter from a dsitance, runs into the alley and then gets shot.

 

[socool]

I'm pretty sure Peter and Ben argue at home, Peter runs away, Ben comes looking for him, mistakes that man for Peter. The man, using Ben to his advantage, leads Ben down an alleyway to mug him, Peter watches this and ignores it. Ben fights back while getting mugged, gets shot, Peter hears the shot and finds Ben dead. The guilt would be the fact that if he didn't run away then Ben would have never left the house to look for him and gotten shot.

Still works IMO

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ This.

Found this on Vic Armstrong's blog. It includes a picture of the Spider-Man stunt team in NY, with the stuntman in the Spider-Man suit posing for a picture with the rest of the group.

Also, this interview with him pretty much confirms the budget is around $200 MILLION.

Crave Online: One movie that I guess you’re working on right now is The Amazing Spider-Man. You talked just a little bit about it in the book, and what you’re planning for it, and how you’re going to use Muay Thai and parkour. Are you done with that yet?

Vic Armstrong: I literally finished on Friday, and my son finished yesterday and my brother finishes next Friday. When I finished writing about it, that’s when the book was just coming out. That’s as far as I got. Robert wanted to bring it up to date as far as we could. We’re just finishing up on Spider-Man, but it’s exceeded all our expectations. There’s some great stuff on YouTube of Spider-Man flying down this overpass on Twelfth Avenue, and you see him flying for real. The body language is so much different from CG Spider-Man. It’s just fantastic. And we got great stunt people there who do parkour, who do skateboarding, and they were teaching Andrew Garfield certain elements of that. And certain elements you wouldn’t miss him doing. You know, $200 million is resting on his shoulders, so it would be totally impractical to put him in every situation but he’s in as many situations as we’ll allow him to be. And he’s fantastic. I really think that it’s a… They hate to call it a “reboot,” but it’s sort of reboot…

Crave Online: Well, it is.

Vic Armstrong: I hope it has as much realism as Mission: Impossible III did. Because I think that was the best of the Mission: Impossibles…

Crave Online: I totally agree.

Vic Armstrong: And I think it’s as grounded in reality as that is, but with the same flare and surrealness that Spider-Man brings to it. He’s flying on spiderwebs and climbing on buildings, you know? So I think it’s going be a great, great mixture of real and surreal.

So, it is $200 million? I'm surprised the budget whent that high when from the start it was probably $80 mllion.

Sweet!! Makes me very, very secure in the special effects now. I was highly afraid the budget would be low and would...not be worth it. But 200 million is awesome. Bring on the movie!!

I don't think it is early. So many shots and so much footage has already been leaked onto the internet. We have enough to piece together a full scene (Ben getting killed, Peter finding him, Peter chasing down the killer). I would imagine that Sony would attempt some sort of information control campaign at this point, just to reduce the value of leaked shots and footage.

 

[SpaceWay2009]

$200 million budget is a lot. That's a big increase from the previous $80 million budget we heard back then.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Not surprising the budget would go up. Although it is more than I thought it would go up. I thought around $150 million.

Oh, well. That means great Lizard effects.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

$200 million!?

This just made my night!

 

[Spidey_62]

$200 million, fantastic!!
