Spidey gets a title "The Amazing Spider-Man"

To be honest, this was the first news I found when I browsed the internet earlier this morning. WHAT A GREAT ONE! Marc Webb-directed "Spider-Man" movie is officially titled "The Amazing Spider-Man", where we will see Andrew Garfield as the new Peter Parker/ the web slinger. Sony Pictures released a press statement regarding to this, with a pretty great bonus of a new Spidey still.


The movie also launched a new official website in http://www.theamazingspiderman-movie.com, and I proudly have signed up to their newsletters. I really don't want to miss any updates of this soon-to-be-amazing movie.

The Spidey will hit theaters in July 3, 2012 in 3D.

Marvel Heroes quickfix: new on-set photo of "X-Men: First Class" and web-swinging set video of "Spider-Man"

"X-Men: First Class" on-set photo by fan
Thanks to Coming Soon, there's a never-before-seen on-set photo of "X-Men: First Class" featuring Jennifer Lawrence (Raven Darkholme), James McAvoy (Professor Charles Xavier), Oliver Platt (Man In Black), and Rose Byrne (Dr. Moira MacTaggert). The photo was taken during the filming in Los Angeles, even though I have no idea when is it taken.



The Spider-Man is swinging on the road!
Let's go to another Marvel hero, Spider-Man! Check out the video taken by a fan in January 26, during the filming of 2012's "Untitled Spider-Man Reboot", where Spidey is swinging around the road above a truck. The scene looks scary but Spidey is alright. The first three Spidey movies are all awesome, and I just can't wait to see his action in 3D! (In another note, I'm not sure if that was Andrew Garfield in the Spidey suit.)

No Jonah Jameson for "Spider-Man" reboot. WHAT?!?

This isn't a delightful news for me (and probably other Spider-Man fans), that one of the scene-stealer of the previous Spider-Man movies, the editor in chief of Daily Bugle, J. Jonah Jameson, won't be featured in the upcoming reboot. This news hasn't been confirmed yet, but it has spread all over the internet.

Why disappointing? Jameson put a lot of energy to the movie, with his caustic sense of humor by labeling Spidey as the "Masked Menace", but truthfully he realizes that the city does need Spidey. J.K. Simmons, the actor who portrayed Jameson on Sam Raimi's trilogy, did a really great job. He never failed to make the audience laugh. He's just the perfect man!

I tried not to freak out after hearing this news, because according to many people who commented in this Movie Web post, Jameson hadn't appeared yet in the Ultimate Spider-Man comics. If the movie is set to play a high schooler Peter Parker, then he won't be working at the Daily Bugle at anytime soon. Even so, in a few on-set photos leaked a couple of days ago, the Daily Bugle van was indeed showed on the street.

For that reason, I think I can understand. But it also leaves me wondering on who will replacing the awesome J.K. Simmons. I don't think anyone can pull off what he did. At least not yet.

First Official Photo of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man!

This is such an exciting news! The photo of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man finally unveiled! Check out the photo of him wearing the Spidey suit without the mask. Seems like he just had a huge fight, no? And he still brings his backpack, so cute. I think the costume is slightly darker than the previous movies, and Andrew himself has skinnier and more slender figure than Tobey Maguire. But I really love it.

According to articles I read, the "Spider-Man" reboot will be based on The Ultimate Spider-Man comics, with The Lizard (played by Rhys Ifans) as the enemy. Gwen Stacy (played by Emma Stone) will be featured as Peter's love interest, and there will be no Mary Jane Watson according to reports. It's pretty sad since I personally love Mary Jane more than Gwen, so hopefully in the first reboot they will kill Gwen and bring Mary Jane to the next installment.

Marc Webb was chosen to direct this movie, and to be released in July 3, 2012 also in 3D.
