HOT TRAILER: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ 3D
New ‘Spider-Man’ Footage To Screen In Global Sneak Peeks Feb. 6
PHOTOS: Fans in Madrid (above), New York (bottom left) and Los Angeles
UPDATE, 1:30 PM: Sony showed off a new trailer to crowds today that will be released online tonight at midnight PT. In addition, about eight new minutes of footage was screened in each of the 13 cities where the sneak peeks took place.
PREVIOUS, 11:35 AM: Sony’s coordinated effort to offer sneak peeks of new footage of its The Amazing Spider-Man is already attracting fans for today’s noon PT kickoff. Tickets to the events — at New York’s Regal Union Square, Los Angeles’ AMC Century City as well as in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Mexico City, Moscow, Rio, Rome, Seoul, Sydney and Tokyo. Fans began lining up today around 7 AM on both coasts, according to the studio (the Madrid crowd is pictured left, with the New Yorkers at right). The Marc Webb-directed reboot opens in Japan on June 30 and in the U.S. and other major markets on July 3.

I saw folks outside of Regal Union Square. It’s nice to see that most on line made no attempt to dispel the stereotype of the enthusiastic comic book fan.
Is that Donald Glover at the front of the line?
i think yes it is glover
I was just coming here to comment on that!
No it’s not Donald, keep reinforcing those stereotypes though.
Hey, if you don’t have anything else going on in your life (girlfriend, job, car payment, housing responsibilities, ect.)…Why not??
Here’s the thing…
To steretoype these guys as comic book fans is ridiculous considering less than 1% of the general population actually reads comic books.
These are action movie fans.
The exposure to Spider-Man most people have had has been through the multiple animated series over the decades, the live-action films of the 1970s, and the Sam Raimi movies which were released over the course of 5 years.
* (I’m of the mind that it’s still way too early to reboot Spider-Man in live-action film but the money people don’t care if the character is overused. He’s been overused for at least 40 years now!)
Yes, the original 1960s comics ARE better but a lot of people are under the impression that comics are no longer published and/or don’t know how to look for them!
Sold Out??!!
Was there a fee for this?
(-the price of a regular movie ticket, perhaps? Now THERE’S a new way for a studio to double dip! And if they were smart the studio would sell DVD copies of the upcoming film to fans for $30 apiece in line, perhaps
beating the critics bad reviews.
I get the impression that the Spider-man comic fans really don’t care much about the film. It’s just another reboot and it looks like Twilight without the clever writing. Gwen Stacey was killed off in the 70s and (not counting clones) hasn’t been back since.
Spider-man comics have lost a lot of old fans in the last seven years. They just put out the worst comic material ever and don’t care how bad it is, then take it away and except people to still read a generic super-hero character.
There was “clever” writing in any of the Twilight movies? Since when? Prove it.
But these aren’t the people that Sony needs to sell this movie to. These fans were always going to turn out for this film on opening day regardless.
Sony should be trying to reach everyone else. You know, everyone else who thinks this film, no matter how good, is utterly, UTTERLY unnecessary so soon after Raimi’s films.
People who aren’t concerned about the inner workings of the Spiderman theatrical rights and what arrangement Sony has with Disney for them.
….,what are these people called again? Oh yeah, that’s right, THE FILM GOING PUBLIC.
The Avengers extended trailer was f**king great. Another Spider-Man movie just seems like a bore. Why another origin story? You mean we have to sit through the same story we sat through not that long ago? Why? Just bring on Avengers and Dark Knight.
I agree completely. There’s no reason to re-do the origin. Why not just start with Peter Parker in college and swinging around town instead of going through the whole spider bite stuff?
Seriously?
When the EPISODE I trailer hit in November 1998, that was something special. The broadband infrastructure didn’t exist to feasibly watch trailers and this was the first glimpse of new Star Wars since 1983.
This? It’s a fucking sequel with a bunch of actors that will be on reality TV in ten years and a director that will be out of Hollywood in five years if he has any integrity.
People are desperate for something with meaning. And they’re not going to find it in a Spider-Man movie.
