The Amazing Spiderman
#AmazingSpiderman is top trending on Twitter, so how about some Spidey news? Andrew Garfield is replacing Tobey Maguire in 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. His real-life girlfriend Emma Stone will co-star.
“The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.”
The movie release date is set on July 3, 2012.
Last week, the Emma and Andrew promoted the movie in Japan where Emma was asked about their characters’ first on screen kiss. Emma commented: “You don’t want to know! You want to watch the movie and find out. Plus, it would be weird if we were like, ‘There’s something iconic coming up!’ You’ve got to decide if it’s iconic or not. But there is a nice first kiss and it’s different than the upside down one [with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst]. And we liked it.” The couple arrived at JFK International Airport Wednesday (Jan. 25) in New York City.
