The Amazing Spider-Man

Looks like Spidey 4 is having the same issues as #3 - www.firstshowing.net/

In short, the studio is throwing out all of Raimi's ideas in favour of their own. They did the exact same thing with Spidey 3 and look how well that turned out.

The production has been put on hiatus, the studio won't do what Raimi wants and Raimi won't do what the studio wants. If this doesn't get sorted soon than Raimi could drop it all together and move on with his new Evil Dead and World of Warcraft. The studio will left to pick up the pieces, get a new script, new director and perhaps even a new cast.
that was trailer was indescribable!. I'm actually so excited
Looks much better and darker than the last lot
This new trailer is amazing - www.youtube.com/...

Huge sigh of relief :P
Can't ****ing wait. We're too spoilt this year!
I haven't read the comics but is this suppose to be closer to the comic books? What's the truth [Rage]

Sony sent us a press release saying the trailer is only on iTunes until May 7.

Is on YouTube immediately.

No such thing as "only" or "exclusive" on the internet.

Exactly. No idea why they even try.

Well it is screening in front of the Avengers over the weekend in the US, so I'd say they've brought it out early because someone would have just recorded a shit version anyway.

Surely it is better for the films advertising to have high quality trailers out there rather than cam'd ones.

Yeah, but I don't know why they tried to make it exclusive to iTunes until Monday. Might as well just release it "officially" on YouTube as well considering it was always going to end up there.

They just sent it to websites that they don't like so you don't leak it first :P
Looks so much better!

I thought the other trailers were good. :'(

This trailer was the best though.
That last trailer actually had me worried, and I was a huge supporter of it initially. :P

The second trailer was immensely shit. Didn't do enough to differentiate itself from the other Spider-Man.
Yeah, it's a really bad trailer.
The first one I liked, but it really showed nothing, so this is really the first time we've had reason to be excited from footage :P
Ok, I just watched the second trailer. It's not cut very well but I don't think any of the footage looks bad.

What do you mean by that? What does the latest trailer do differently?

The second trailer showed everything we already know about the character from the previous films. In a way the film needed to advertise itself as if it was a sequel and not a re-boot. The new trailer barely touches on the characters origin and concentrates on what the actual major arc and villain will be.
Thought I'd been avoiding too much from this, including every trailer since the first awesome 1st person one. But I now remember watching that last one, it was terrible, I had removed it from my memory.

Probably for iTunes' benefit...? They pay for the exclusive tag, everyone gets directed there.
@Milky The 2nd trailer talked about the mystery with his parents and showed the Lizard. I don't think the trailers need to advertise the film as a sequel because it isn't. Sure people don't want a rehash of the origin but they need to know that it's not a continuation of the other films.

So you're saying the 2nd trailer was terrible because it just looked like more of the same? Or did you think the actual footage looked bad?
Not advertise as a sequel, advertise like it is a sequel. People know his origin, they know how he got powers, they know he can climb walls. We've seen him become Spider-Man for 3 films already. They don't need to advertise that.

They need to show what sets this apart from the others, and that is the Lizard, Gwen Stacey and this whole police man hunt for Peter. That is what was in the third trailer and why it is awesome. And it is why the second trailer failed so badly. Re-hashing what we know doesn't sell the film.
So you're your judging the quality of the trailer on its ability to sell?

Or were you genuinely concerned after watching that trailer that the movie might suck?
I think it's just a poorly put together trailer, and none of the action seem edited together well.

Like the shot following Spidey as he swings down through the street, which is also in this one btw, the camera doesn't follow him smoothly and it seems strange.

But some of those new digital action shots seemed so fluid and amazing.

I dunno I just didn't like trailer 2.
Yeah, I agree in terms of editing it was nothing special.

On another note, Garfield's Spider-man seems a lot closer to the comics. Tobey Maguire whinged too much. I love how this new Spider-man seems to make lots of quips when he is fighting.
