The Amazing Spider-Man is an upcoming American superhero film directed by Marc Webb, based on the comic book of the same name and starring Andrew Garfield as the Marvel Comics character Spider-Man. It is the fourth Columbia Pictures film that portrays Spider-Man in film and is a reboot of the film series that stars the superhero. The cast includes Garfield as Peter Parker and his alter ego, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Dr. Curt Connors. The film will portray Parker as his super powers are evolving in high school.

The film's development began simultaneously with Sony announcing the cancellation of Spider-Man 4. Opting for a reboot with the same production team rather than another sequel, the studio announced a July 2012 release date for what was now titled The Amazing Spider-Man. James Vanderbilt was hired to write the script while Alvin Sargent and Steve Kloves helped fine-tune the script. Filming started in December 2010 in Los Angeles before moving to New York City with the help of RED Epic camera. The film entered post-production in April 2011.

Sony Entertainment has focused its marketing campaign with a promotional website with released images, 2 theatrical trailers, a prologue screening in certain cities and a video game tie-in being developed by Beenox among other products. The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released in 3D and IMAX 3D on July 3, 2012. A sequel of the film is being planned for release in 2014 with James Vanderbilt hired to again write the screenplay.

Premise

Peter Parker, a teenager who is an outcast from high school and abandoned by his parents when he was young and is now living with his Uncle Ben and Aunt May, spends his days trying to unravel the mystery of his own past and winning the heart of his high school crush, Gwen Stacy. Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase belonging to his dad which leads him to his dad's former partner, Dr. Connors. The discovery of his father's secret will ultimately shape his destiny of becoming "Spider-Man" and bring him face to face with Connors' alter ego, the Lizard. [2][3][4]

Cast

Garfield described Peter Parker as somebody he can relate to while also claiming him as an important symbol to him since he was four years old.[6][7][8] Garfield drew from his life experiences as inspiration for the role, revealing, "I was thinking of my history and thinking of the kid at school who I wasn't as strong as, who behaved badly to a lot of people – including myself – and who I constantly tried to stand up to but never had the physical prowess to".[9] He said he respects Tobey Maguire as an actor and that when he first saw Maguire play Spider-Man he "was blown away by his interpretation."[9] After taking the role Garfield studied spiders' movements and tried to incorporate them as much as he could, saying Parker is "a boy/spider in terms of how he moves, and not just in the suit."[10] On taking over the role Garfield said, "I see it as a massive challenge in many ways.... To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I'm probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn't want to".[11] When first wearing the Spider-Man costume Garfield admitted to shedding tears and trying to imagine "a better actor in the suit".[12]
A high school classmate and love interest of Peter Parker.[13] Stone described her character as "a daddy's girl".[14] Stone dyed her hair blonde for the role of the character, which happens to be her natural hair color even though she is better recognized with her red hair.[15][16] She felt that she had a responsibility to educate herself on Spider-Man, admitting that she did not know much about the character beyond the Raimi films. After her role she expressed interest in Spider-Man, the character she played and the rest of the Marvel Universe that she was going to be involved with.[17] Stone also had this to say about the fans who would be protective of Spider-Man and the character she plays: "There's a part of me that really wants to please people that love Spider-Man or Gwen Stacy and want her to be done justice. I hope they'll give me license to interpret her my way. But that fan base, I'm one of them, so I completely understand why they would be judgmental of certain things."[16]
Ifans described the character that he is playing not as an evil incarnated villain but as a flawed character much like Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde.[20] "Curt Conners is by no means an evil villain," Ifans stated. "He’s not like the Batman villains, like the Joker, who are the embodiment of evil. Curtis Connors is a great man who makes a bad decision. ... [T]hat's the whole magic of the Spider-Man idea. These people are the embodiment of our flaws and our desires that lead to tragedy."[21] In a September, 2011 interview, Ifans claimed that his character spends the majority of the film as a human. While filming for the 9-foot tall Lizard, Ifans was required to wear a CGI suit. Initially, a large stunt-double was used as a stand-in for the role, but Ifans insisted on portraying the transformed character, to which Webb agreed. Commenting on the technology used to bring his character to life, Ifans continued "I had a green suit on, and then this cardboard head, and these big claws... Each and every time you see the Lizard, the technology is so advanced now that when the Lizard's eyes move, they're my eyes. If I frown or show any emotion, they're my emotions. That's how spectacularly advanced technology is."[22] Ifans also said that he voiced the Lizard as well explaining, "I'm sure the voice will be toyed with in the eventual edits, but when I was shooting the CGI moments, when I wasn't actually human, when I was Lizard, I looked like a crash-test dummy in a green leotard thing. There were many moments when I had to speak to Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as the Lizard."[23]
Peter Parker's uncle.[24] Sheen admitted that he didn't have a clue of Spider-Man other than watching Tobey Maguire's portrayal in Spider-Man 2. He also didn't know much about the character that he played except for knowing that Cliff Robertson previously played the part.[25] Martin Sheen described his character as being a surrogate father saying, "I'm dealing with this adolescent who is having problems with changes, with hormones changing and his getting out of hand. I have to give him the marching orders and so forth."[26]
Ben Parker's wife, and Peter Parker's aunt.[27][28]
Gwen's father and a New York City Police Department captain.[29] Leary explained that he did not know much about Spider-Man in the comics explaining, "I'm more of a Batman guy. Not the '60s – but the really dark Batman. But my wife was a Spider-Man nut, which was why I went to Tobey Maguire ones." Another thing he liked to note that before he was ever cast as George Stacy his good friend, Jeff Garlin, who happens to be a Spider-Man fan said to him, "The first time I met you, I thought you were George Stacy!"[30]
Zylka first tweeted that he was involved with the film.[31] On November 2010, he was revealed to be playing Flash Thompson.[32] When asked what it was like to play Flash Thompson he answered. "You just try to focus. As an artist or as an actor, you just try to focus and stay in that world and block it all out." He also continued that he enjoyed working with Marc complimenting his work as director describing him as comforting and calm.[33]
Khan described his role as a "pivotal role". Khan also said that he got his role after appearing in the drama tv series In Treatment. He said that Marc Webb has seen his work and approaching him saying he wants to work with Khan.[35][36] Khan admitted though that he wasn't really interested in the project at first but that both of his sons were excited about it and insisted that he go.[37] The Hollywood Reporter originally reported Khan to play the comic book character, Van Adder.[34][38]

Campbell Scott and Julianne Nicholson were originally reported to play Peter's parents, Richard and Mary Parker, respectively.[38] Embeth Davidtz later replaced Nicholson in the role.[39] Annie Parisse was reported to play "the villain's wife".[38] C. Thomas Howell portrays Ray, a construction worker whose son is saved by Spider-Man.[40] Hannah Marks portrays Missy Kallenback, an unpopular girl who has a crush on Peter Parker.[41] Miles Elliot portrays Billy Connors, the son of Dr. Connors.[19] Kelsey Chow has a small role as Sally Avril, a girl who goes to Peter Parker's high school.[42] Unlike the original films it was reported that J. Jonah Jameson would not appear in this film.[43] Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee has a cameo appearance, as he did in the previous films, which will involve him in an action scene and which he referred to as his "best, most unusual one yet!"[44] At the 2011 Dallas Comic Con, Lee enthusiastically talked about his cameo. He will play a librarian listening to music on his headphones while stamping books and dancing at the same time, despite the on-going fight between Spider-Man and the Lizard.[45]

Production

Development

Further information: Spider-Man in film

Simultaneous with the cancellation of Spider-Man 4, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that the franchise would be rebooted with a new director and new cast. The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to be released on July 3, 2012 in 3-D and focuses on Peter Parker developing his abilities in high school.[46][47] Avi Arad, Laura Ziskin and Matt Tolmach, who were always involved with the franchise, continued on as producers of the film.[46] Sony confirmed that Vanderbilt would write the script for the new film. Entertainment Weekly called Vanderbilt's script "gritty, contemporary" and referenced Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan's reboot of the Batman film series, which also reinvented the tone of the series.[48] Alvin Sargent was then hired to fine-tune the script.[49]

Webb, whose previous film (500) Days of Summer was his directorial debut, was confirmed to direct the reboot.[50] Amy Pascal and Matt Tolmach of Sony Entertainment stated that "the key for us as we sought a new director was to identify filmmakers who could give sharp focus to Peter Parker’s life. We wanted someone who could capture the awe of being in Peter’s shoes so the audience could experience his sense of discovery while giving real heart to the emotion, anxiety, and recklessness of that age and coupling all of that with the adrenaline of Spider-Man's adventure. We believe Marc Webb is the perfect choice to bring us on that journey."[50] Webb stated that he was first hesitant about directing the film but then he said to himself "How could I walk away from this? What an opportunity! What better cinematic character is there than Spidey!"[51] Webb commented on comparisons of his and Sam Raimi's work as director of a Spider-Man film:

Sam Raimi's virtuoso rendering of Spider-Man is a humbling precedent to follow and build upon. The first three films are beloved for good reason. But I think the Spider-Man mythology transcends not only generations but directors as well. I am signing on not to 'take over' from Sam. That would be impossible. Not to mention arrogant. I'm here because there's an opportunity for ideas, stories, and histories that will add a new dimension, canvas, and creative voice to Spider-Man.[50]

Pre-production

In May 2010, The Hollywood Reporter said the actors who met with director Marc Webb to be considered for the lead role included Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane, Andrew Garfield, and Josh Hutcherson,[52] and in June 2010 the Los Angeles Times reported that the shortlist had expanded to include Aaron Johnson and Anton Yelchin.[53] At least Bell, Ehrenreich, Garfield, Yelchin Logan Lerman and Michael Angarano had screen tests.[54] On July 1, 2010, it was confirmed that the role would go to Garfield.[5] Webb felt that "he has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity."[5] Garfield was 27 when being cast as Spider-Man, which raised concerns about his ability to play a high school student. The website HitFix reported that Sony realized this and thus the new movie may instead focus on Peter's college life;[55] this was disputed by Entertainment Weekly, which reported that the film is still set in high school.[56] Sony held auditions for the role of a young Peter Parker, somebody who would resemble Garfield in looks.[57]

It was reported originally that the film would feature both Mary Jane Watson and Gwen Stacy as love interests,[56] but the website The Wrap later reported that only Gwen Stacy will appear in the film.[58] In August 2010, the list of actresses to play the love interest included Imogen Poots, Ophelia Lovibond, Lily Collins, Teresa Palmer, and Emma Roberts,[59] and in September 2010 Variety reported that the shortlist had expanded to include Stone and Mia Wasikowska.[60] The shortlist was reported to then include Dianna Agron, Georgina Haig, and Dominique McElligott.[61] On October 5, 2010, it was confirmed that the role of Gwen Stacy would go to Stone.[13] Tolmach said that her on screen spark is perfect for the role. Webb also said that the chemistry between Emma and Garfield is what made her the clear choice: "At the heart of the story of Peter Parker is not only the amazing Spider-Man, but also an ordinary teenager who is wondering what he has to do to get the girl. Andrew and Emma will bring everything audiences expect to these roles, but also make them their own.[13]

Reportedly Sony was interested in casting Christoph Waltz as the villain of the film,[62] however Waltz's representatives denied his involvement.[63] Michael Fassbender was even linked to the villain role before signing on to play Magneto in X-Men: First Class.[64] On October 11, 2010, Rhys Ifans was confirmed to be the unnamed villain in the film.[18] On October 13, 2010, it was reported that Ifans will be playing Dr. Curt Connors, a.k.a. the Lizard.[65] The producer Avi Arad has admitted to Empire interviewers that the Lizard is his favorite Spider-Man villain and that he has always wanted to do the Lizard as the villain of the film and that it was a dream come true that he was the chosen villain.[17] Long before the villain was commited to the script, Avi already had conceptual drawings prepared for the Lizard to be the villain.[17] Webb explains why he's the best villain for the film: "He's the literal embodiment of the theme of the movie, which is we all have a missing piece. He has no arm. Peter has no parents, and he fills that void with Spider-Man. Curt is not as strong as Spider-Man on the inside, but he wants to get back his arm and fill that void, and essentially he becomes a big bully."[66]

Steve Kloves, a screenwriter that was commonly involved with the Harry Potter film series and who originally turned down the role, decided to be involved with tuning up the script with Sargent since he knew Sargent and the producer Ziskin (who died during the production of the film) and would decide to do them a favor at making the film good just like they wanted. He also wanted to write for Stone. Steve mostly focused on character and dialogue concentrating on Emma's character as Gwen Stacy and some of Garfield's character as well.[67]

Filming

File:Marc Webb.jpg

The film began shooting on December 6, 2010 in Los Angeles.[68][69] The 90-day film shoot also includes two weeks in New York City, while the bulk of filming occurred in and around Los Angeles, including such locations as the Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, St. John Bosco High School's Gym, Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Mid-Wilshire, and various locations around South Pasadena, San Pedro, and Woodland Hills.[70] Sony Entertainment spokesman Steve Elzer says "this is the fourth Spider-Man production we have shot primarily in Los Angeles and for good reason, the crews here are the best in the world but there is a comfort level in producing a project of this size and scope on your own backlot." He continued, "Basing the film on the lot also makes it easier for producers to interact with Sony’s in-house visual effects team, and gives the studios greater control of quality and security."[70]

When you walk out of the theater, I want the world you see to resemble what you saw on the screen. Part of the joy of cinema [is that] you make the impossible look real. I wanted it to be more grounded and more realistic and that went for the emotion of the scenes, the physical action and wardrobe. It's less based in Steve Ditko world and probably closer visually and more influenced by "Ultimate Spider-Man" but it is also very much a world of our own devising.

Marc Webb in a interview with the Los Angeles Times [71]

The film will also be the first Hollywood production to be filmed with the RED Epic camera, and is being shot in 3-D at 5K resolution.[69] Cinematographer, John Schwartzman had this to say about the camera:

"Today was Epic, Monday December 6 marks the first day the Red Epic camera was used to shoot a major studio motion picture. I can say for certainty the camera does exist and boy is it ready for primetime, as a matter of fact it's a true game changer."[69]

Schwartzman also felt that the 3D of the film would have been more impossible without it. He said "I can tell you without these cameras it would be impossible to move a 3D rig in the ways that THIS story demands, if Jim and the crew hadn't made these cameras available to us I don't think we could have shot this movie the way our director envisioned it in 3D."[69]

The stunt performers of the film included the Armstrong family,[71] Vic Armstrong[72] and Andy Armstrong.[73] Garfield was reported to be involved with some of the stunts as well. The actor was even reported to have a tissue in his nose suffering a nosebleed from his swinging in New York City.[74]

While filming in New York the crew built a whole rig hundreds of feet long over Riverside Drive in Harlem. While there they swung a man through traffic down the street. Andy Armstrong built a car rig with a series of wires to help with effects which required an incredible wealth of acrobatics.[73]

Webb feels a responsibility to reinvent Spider-Man on the big screen stating that he and the crew tried to keep the stunts more grounded physically which he said was a huge challenge for a film that stars a character whose abilities are superhuman.[71] The crew spent many months developing rigs so he could swing in a way that wasn't computer-generated.[71] Webb stated, "Obviously there’s going to be enhancements and CG [sequences], but it's based in a physical reality and that's a new technique [for this film brand]."[71] One of the biggest changes of the franchise to reinvent the hero for the film was to go back to the original source material in the mainstream comics of Spider-Man having artificial web shooters.[75] Webb stated, "the web-shooters were able to dramatize Peter's intellect". Webb explained, "We paid attention to the question of 'How would a kid make it?' And obviously we took some license with it."[75] Webb explained that he and the crew "wanted a design that would make the body longer and more lithe, more of an acrobat, someone incredibly agile, and the legs of the spider [symbol on the chest] were something we used to emphasize that."[75] He also explained that the crew made a bunch of different suits for different lighting conditions even using something that would work in the night a little better.[75] They also paid attention to making the webbing on the costume a little bit darker.[75] Webb confessed, "With the costume and the web-shooters we wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he's an outsider."[75]

Post-production

On April 2011, Emma revealed that the cinematography was wrapped up and post-production began in May although some reshooting took place in New York City in November 2011 and in Los Angeles in December 2011.[76][77][78]

Webb explained that he wanted to create a new 3D experience for Spider-Man: "Because we're shooting in 3D, I wanted to conceive of certain things very specifically for 3D. There's an experiential component to 3D that's fascinating and we're experimenting with generating that point of view – so you feel what Peter Parker feels, you feel what Spider-Man feels when he's jumping over buildings and over the streets, that sort of thing. But we made a very, and Andrew had to pay the price for this, very conscious effort to ground stunts." [73] He felt that if there ever should be a 3D film it should be about Spider-Man: "When we first talked about it, it was in the heyday of 3D and there was a lot of craziness about it. But it was never forced upon us. I thought if there's ever a movie that should be in 3D, it's Spider-Man for crying out loud." [79] Webb elaborated that he shot the film in stereo so it was native 3D while nothing was ever converted. Webb felt that when you get that scope, the film will gradually expand.[79]

In February 2012, the film was reported to be getting a digital touch up in Vancouver by Sony Pictures Imageworks.[80]

Marketing

In February 2011, after the launch of the official website and the title of the film, the first official image of Garfield as Spider-Man was originally revealed in the website.[81] Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times agreed "that the suit lives up to the challenge of being different from the Sam Raimi films but not too different from the classic suit that stands as one of the great comic-book costumes ever." He was also skeptical with the introduction with the web shooters of the film feeling that it's too hard to believe that a financially strapped young man to conceive a wrist-worn device that can instantly produce a strand of synthetic webbing.[82]

A teaser trailer was leaked on the Internet and aired at San Diego's Comic-Con International in July 2011, attached to the superhero film Captain America: The First Avenger.[83] Rob Keyes of Screen Rant felt that "it takes on a noticeably different tone from that of Raimi trilogy of Spider-Man movies, and presents itself in a similar fashion to what Christopher Nolan did with Batman Begins."[84] Germain Lussier of /Film felt that the trailer makes it feel like a small film when judging with all the leaked photos of filming going on that it is going to be a big film. He commented that the trailer makes it look more like "a superhero Twilight." He states that "this is a big action movie with massive practical effects all shot in painstaking 3D with a hefty price tag. This trailer really doesn't sell that."[85] Some writers have observed that the trailer closely resembles the 2008 video game Mirror's Edge, when Spider-Man is running along the rooftops and swinging in the city in a point of view shot.[86][87][88]

Also revealed at the Comic-Con was the first display of a Spider-Man action figure by Hasbro and also a first look of a Spider-Man and Lizard PEZ dispenser with the first look of the Lizard.[89][90] Soon after the leak of the Lizard in PEZ dispenser and the unconfirmed concept art of the Lizard, the reaction of the Lizard designs was reported to be mixed with many news writers comparing the design of the character to other fictional characters instead of looking like the character from the comic books.[91][92][93][94]

Mega Brands has obtained the rights to produce construction sets based on the film.[95][96] A Marvel Select action figure of the film version of Spider-Man with building wall base by Diamond Select Toys has been announced. Being the fifth Marvel Select Spider-Man figure, but the first based on a film.[97]

A "sneak peek screening" of The Amazing Spider-Man was held on February 6, 2012 in 13 cities internationally: Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Mexico City, Moscow, New York City, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, Seoul, Sydney, and Tokyo.[98] On January 8, 2012, the Spider-Man logo has also appeared on some of the world's most iconic buildings such as the Sydney Opera House, the Colosseum of Rome, the Kremlin in Moscow and the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.[99][100] The screening revealed a second trailer for the film screened in 3D, which thereafter appeared online. Glen Levy of Time magazine said of this trailer that the "dialogue goes hand in hand with the action, rather than be dominated by it", and that the action scenes from the film looked "polished and slick".[101] Additionally in the special screening there was a eight and a half minute extended trailer which Webb walked the fans to.[102] Peter Sciretta of /Film said the trailers had left him "impressed" and had captured a feeling of dark naturalism alongside Spider-Man's trademark wisecracking.[103] With the trailer and sizzle reel Webb felt that it was important to give the audience a more specific idea of what the film would look like such as showcasing Peter and Gwen's relationship along with showcasing a lot of the visual effects just to display the attitude of the film that he and the crew were trying to create.[104] on February 7, 2012 it was reported that the latest official trailer revealed a link of a viral marketing internet site for the film.[105]

Video game

A video game based on the film was announced at the 2011 New York Comic Con. The game will be developed by Beenox, the development team behind the previous two Spider-Man games, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions and Spider-Man: Edge of Time. During New York Comic Con a producer at Activision, Doug Header stated that the game will take place after the events of the movie.[106][107] Heder realizing his mixed reviews with his last video game, promising that the video game will find a different fate, thanks to its lengthy development time.[107] The video game has been reported to be in development by Gerard Lehiany, the creative director of Beenox.[107] The game has an open world/free-roaming concept, where the player can "swing around" and choose a variety of side missions, challenges and mini-games in addition to the game's main storyline.[108] Spider-Man villain the Rhino will be the main antagonist of the game.[109][110] The game is set after the film, with a plot that evolves a Oscorp executive, with the help of Michael Morbius accessing the research of Dr. Curt Conners (aka the Lizard) to create a hybrid of a man and a rhinoceros.[110]

The game is planned to be released on June 26, 2012.[107][110] The first concept artwork of the game was released on November 10, 2011.[111] A world premiere trailer debuted during the 2011 Spike Video Game Awards, on December 10, 2011.[112] The game has been developed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, personal computer, Wii, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS.[113]
