With all of the new blockbuster trailers released this weekend thanks to the Super Bowl it’s easy for some movie news to slip under the radar. With trailers for Mark Webb’s take on everyone’s friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man due to hit cinemas this week, the director revealed more information on the upcoming film:
"It’s really important for us to be able to communicate that this isn’t a remake of Sam Raimi’s movie. There’s a new territory, there’s a new villain, it’s a different Peter Parker."
"We wanted that humor to come from a real place. My aim was to create a world where you could feel all those emotions. There are certainly darker, more intense feelings in this movie. There is betrayal, there is tragedy, but there’s also humor and romance... There are moments of furiousness and gravity, absolutely. But are there moments of humor and levity and whimsy? Absolutely... There’s a punk rock quality to Peter Parker that’s really irreverent and fun and that’s something that Andrew embodies in a way that we haven’t seen before. Certainly the materials that have come out have a darker sentiment or there’s a darker projection, but we’re very keen on staying loyal to the humor of Spider-Man."
The Amazing Spider-Man is due for release on 4th of July.
