The Amazing-Spiderman news!

This news is very exciting for me as I have heard a lot about this film such as Tobey McGuire not coming back for it and that Andrew Garfield is to be the new Peter Parker...this to me is really exciting as I saw Andrew Garfield in the AMAZING series Red Riding that was on Channel 4 and if you get a chance to either splurge on a DVD series the next time your out and about at HMV or online....which I think you really should go into your nearest HMV and help them to stay on the highstreet as I don't know about you but if I had the chance to build a house inside one of these I would, and with so many shops on the highstreet closing recently I think this one should stay as there won't be a highstreet for any of us to visit if this goes...so I think we should do are bit to keep HMV stores open and not let them go online.

Anyhew, I digress I have just read thanks to the miracle that is Wikipedia the news that Colombia Pictures have yesterday unvieled the official title for the new Spiderman film, this will be The Amazing Spiderman and Colombia Pictures have done what looks like a three way split on who puts up the money for this film. Colombia Pictures have put up some of the money with Marvel Studios and Laura Ziskin Productions, but Colombia are going to be distributing this film that was suppose to come out this year but after Sam Raimi jumped ship saying that he couldn't meet the release date that the studio wanted without sacrifising artstic integrity.

So, Sony said that Spidy will be rebooted and that Marc Webb was to be the new director at the helm of theis new look Spidy franchise. So now the release date has been put back to July 3rd 2012 and it'll be in 3D...which is going to be something new to this tale that is for me as old as time now. LOL!

The producers of this film are Avi Arad, Todd Black, Grant Curtis, Laura Ziskin, and Matt Tolmach. The ScreenPlay and story for this film has been done by James Vanderbilt, but the other producers for this film are: Alvin Sargent and and Steve Kloves.

The Cast Members for this are:

• Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker/Spidy
• Emma Stone as Gwen Stacey who plays the Sidy's love interest...she was also in Easy A most recently
• Martin Sheen...who for me needs no introduction as he's the father of the most crazy person on the planet at the moment Charlie Sheen but he's also been in lots of films one of which was Apocolypes Now...he'll play Ben Parker (Peter Parker's grandfather)
• Sally Field will play May Parker (Peter's grandmother) but you'll probably have seen her in Brother's and Sisters as Norah Walker
• Rhys Ifans will play Dr. Curt Connors/ The Lizzard...this to me sounds a very American name for a Welsh guy to play especially Rhys Ifans as to me it seems really unlikely that he'll be able to pull this off without slipping into Welsh...anyway this is a scientist who tests lizzard serum on himself and sees that it has regenerated his arm but it also turns him into a lizzard humanoid (person) monster.
• Denis Leary as Captain George Stacey a.k.a the father of Spiderman's love interest who is as you'll have already guessed is a captain in the New York Police Department...he was in the Pierce Brosnan starring 'Thomas Crown Affair' with Renee Rouso and he played the policeman who was going to arrest Pierce after he found out that it was him who stole the painting that was stolen. 
• Chris Zylka who will play Eugene 'Flash' Thompson who is Parker's nemesis at high school and constantly bullies Spidy, but with a name like Eugene how on earth can you be a bully...if like me you don't know who this guy is then you'll have no idea that he is in the American TV series 10 Things I Hate About You
• Irrfan Khan will play Van Atter this will be one of the villians that Spiderman has to face in the movie.
• Campbell Scott will give us the audience a rare sighting of Peter Parker's Dad...you'll have seen him in recently The Social Network with Jesse Eisenberg.
• Annie Parisse will play Van Atter's wife...you'll have seen her in Law & Order as one of the District Attorneys (she was in the earlier episodes)
• Julianne Nicholson will also give us the audience a rare insight into the Mother of Peter Parker...you'll have seen her most recently in Law & Order acting alongside Chris Noth (big from Sex & The City)

These are the immediate cast members of the film. This film is currently at the editing stage. This is all I could fimd unfortunatly that can be called an official trailer...you could say this is a teaser trailer. So I hope you enjoy this teaser:
