Are you ready for the untold story of Spider-Man?
The official website for Marc Webb’s THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN has debuted and it’s got a load of new photos and revealing plot points that show us what type of movie this will be. One thing’s for sure: Sam Raimi’s light, fun SPIDER-MAN films are long gone.
Some of the new images and blurbs are posted below. If you want to dissect every photo and paragraph, head on over to the main site. There you’ll be treated to the moody, secret world of Peter Parker.
So what do we think? Do we want a darker SPIDER-MAN? And what’s all this talk about the secret that Peter’s father held? Curious, very curious.
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN opens July 3rd. Thanks to Coming Soon for the heads up.
The Story
Like most teenagers his age, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he to be the person he is today. In his journey to put the pieces of his past together he uncovers a secret that his father held… a secret that will ultimately shape his destiny as Spider-Man. This is the first in a series of movies that tells a different side of the Peter Parker story. On July 3rd, 2012, the untold story begins.
Peter Parker
Ever since Peter’s parents disappeared 13 years ago, he has struggled to find his purpose in life. Now, on the brink of unlocking the mystery about what happened to them, he must face the ultimate challenge – one that has been created within the laboratories of Oscorp.
Gwen Stacy
Smart, charismatic and rebellious, Gwen is the chief intern at Oscorp, a position she takes very seriously. But her life takes a complicated turn as she watches both her boyfriend, Peter, and her mentor, Dr. Connors, undergo radical transformations.
Captain Stacy
An esteemed police officer for over twenty years, Captain Stacy is the public face of the NYPD who leads the department’s investigation into Spider-Man’s vigilantism. The only thing Captain Stacy vows to protect more than the city is his family – and particularly his only daughter, Gwen.
Dr. Curt Connors
One of the leading scientific minds, Dr. Connors attempts to engineer a revolutionary regeneration serum to help re-grow limbs and human tissue. His motivations are unclear as to why he elects to be the first human test subject – but what becomes evident is that something goes horribly wrong.
