The Amazing Spider-Man The Official ASM Teaser Trailer Thread! - Part 3

[Spider-ManHero12]

Wasn't Spidey 15 in Amazing too when he became Spider-Man?

It's been changed over the years. When he unmasked himself, he said he was Spidey since 15, but in earlier comics, I think it was said that he was 17.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I have no idea where I'd read it or how reliable it was, but I read somewhere that Andrew's Peter is 17 in this movie.

As did I. Wasn't Tobey's 17 as well?

 

[Superwoman Prime]

Wasn't Spidey 15 in Amazing too when he became Spider-Man?

I don't think so. At least in the 60's he was only Spider-Man for a few months before his class graduated. And I don't recall any mention that he skipped ahead grades because of his intellect.

 

[spidermanJLA!~]

Even though the movie looks great, I still hope Spidey is a wise cracker.

In the comics his uncle always joked with him. That developed his sense of humor. Lets hope we see that.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Oh okay, whatever, I guess it will be like 50/50 ( ASM/ USM). Sam did that. Marc..is going to do that, based on what I saw so far. I think that he is going to use that something Sam did never use and mix with his inspiration for this film.

 

[Ultimatehero]

And the sad irony is, this trailer doesn't even showcase them in any real capacity.

We know all this. Well, we know everything actually - but general audience? Parents. The Stacy family. Etc. All new. The focus wasn't on Uncle Ben's death, because... well... we kinda already know he dies. Spotlight on Peter's parents? The audience probably forgot he had parents before Aunt May and Uncle Ben until they're called "aunt" and "uncle" because the Parkers were never mentioned - not even a "your dad" line, etc.

Yep, he was.

 

[Marvel Spider]

What I get from it:


Peter's parent's DID work for Oscorp (like in the leaked plot summary).

Gwen and Connors work at Oscorp.

When Peter finds the briefcase with his father's things, he discovers that he and his mother worked for Oscorp and he gets an internship there to investigate the company, and find out more about his parents....this leads to the spider bite.

There probably IS a whole conspiracy as a sub-plot to Peter's parents and their deaths....and I think we will definitely get mentions of Norman, and he'll, in fact, be responsible in some way for Richard and Mary's deaths...

You know that the leaked plot summary was a fake, right?

The good news about this teaser trailer is that, on a technical standpoint, it's put together and edited very well. It does an excellent job at establishing the character of Peter Parker, showing him to be a shy, awkward, and very lonely young man who still trying to cope with feeling abandoned by his parents after their death.

But the tone of the trailer? It's moody, it's brooding, and takes itself way too seriously. Until you get to point-of-view sequence of Spidey jumping and swinging over the city accompanied by a swelling orchestral score, this doesn't come across like it's film about Spider-Man, this comes across like David Cronenberg's The Fly as imagined and written by Stephanie Meyer--a teenage horror flick (in this case body horror) in which the lead is yet another angst-ridden, insecure, passive-aggressive loner.

Granted, I get that Spider-Man does have elements of teenage angst and isolation in it's roots, but it also conveys a sense of fun. And it's that sense of fun that this trailer sorely lacks and I'm afraid will not be in the final product.

I hope your sorely wrong. Grant it, remember, this trailer is supposed to differentiate from the prior version, it's supposed to give us that feeling and tone that it does.

I believe we will see a confident and funny Spider-Man and some cool action. The trailer is not indicative of the final product.

Give peace a chance brotha... but I see your point. Even the guy Poni Boy said the version he saw had Spider Man quipping

Marc Webb and Steve Kloves specifically mentioned that there is plenty of humor in the film and that there will be a adolescent playful quality to the character so there will be humor in it. It's just the first teaser

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Peter's age - Amazing. Only 15 in UU and there's no way in hell Garfield can pass for 15.

Maybe like 17/18 year old?

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

You know that the leaked plot summary was a fake, right?

And thankfully, it was. It was rushed as hell.

 

[Lord]

Ultimate - younger Aunt May

Amazing - nerdy Gwen

Anything else different?

Not the spectacular spider-man nerdy i hope, but more of the intelligent one from the amazing comics

Ninja, I don't think he said that because I asked him about the quipping and he said he didn't see it in the trailer but he heard from his source that Spidey is his typical self in the costume but after getting knocked around a few times, he shuts up

We really have no way of knowing....

Remember the Spider-man 3 leaked summary that everyone claimed to be fake........100% real, we found out.

Just watch the trailer.....tell me it doesn't look like he goes to work at Oscorp as a result of what he finds that belonged to his dad. Clearly his parents worked at Oscorp. I'm not saying that the whole synopsis was right...but this seems right on.


P.s.
Yeah, I know Uncle Ben's death is handled differently, etc....but that all could have been in re-writes. The script has had several writers and passes taken on it... This could have been an earlier draft and parts COULD be in the final film.

Sounds about right.

But the supposed "leaked" reboot scritp was never taken offline.

In the set pictures during Peter's visit to Oscorp (in the trailer as well) he's wearing an intern badge.

 

[Lord]

Gwen seems to work there, can somebody send me a link of where you found the summary of the movie?

 

[antsman41]

But the supposed "leaked" reboot scritp was never taken offline.

Neither was Batman Begins' script. Sometimes studios drop new reboot scripts to test the waters...

I'm not saying he's right. I've never read the Spidey one but don't jump all down a guys throat.

 

[socool]

Ok, but it's older than your mother.

[AbsractPo3tic]

Yeah and I don't know how clear it is that his parents worked there..and I thought that the script said they were spying on Oscorp and were taken out..either way, the first part of that script would be wrong because the pics showed Uncle Ben getting murdered in an alley but the script had him being murdered at the Parker home. He could also be working at Oscorp because his girlfriend works there and he's interested in science

 

[Robin91939]

In the set pictures during Peter's visit to Oscorp (in the trailer as well) he's wearing an intern badge.

I know.

What I'm saying is, I think we're going to get a "mystery" subplot that sees Peter go GET the internship as a way to learn more about the Oscorp company and find out about what his parents did there...

Why is he in the room alone, by himself, that he's not supposed to be in when he's bitten? Clearly Gwen's been at the Co. longer than him, so why'd he take so long to intern there? We're clearly being given a lot about the plot involving Pete's parents in this teaser....I think it's all connected.

[PSYLENTGuardian]

Can anyone identify the trailer music?

 

[socool]

@Robin: You very well might be right. We have no way of knowing yet.

@PSYLENT: Before the POV, I think it's the music from the Dead Island trailer, haha!
