BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Jamie Foxx As Electro In Spider-Man Sequel?

In the final, post-credit scene of The Amazing Spider-Man , Doctor Curt Connors comes face to face with a shadowy figure who may become the sequel's villain. But who could that villain be, and is Jamie Foxx the man to play him? Casting spoilers ahead! According to Variety , Jamie Foxx is deep in negotiations to play a super-villain in the next Spider flick, due out in May of 2014. Which villain will he be playing? All signs seem to point towards the super-charged Electro . Electro, as his name suggests, has the power to control electricity, a gift he obtained by being struck by lightning. In addition to Variety's sources, Jamie Foxx himself just so happened to tweet ,  "Dressed up as Electro for Halloween last night. Costume fits well," which is pretty darn telling. Some questions remain. Namely, what origin will this version of Electro have and is the shadowy figure we saw at the end of Amazing, in fact, Electro? There was an awful lot of lightning go

The Amazing Spider-Man Deleted Footage.

We already knew that a lot of stuff was left on the cutting-room floor when director Marc Webb put together the final cut of The Amazing Spider-Man . Now we have a good look at 17+ minutes of footage that got axed. So what's there? A pretty good bit of content, including a few alternate scenes that could've shifted the tone had they been included. Though these scenes do add some context and might've helped with the pacing, it doesn't look like we lost a ton with these being relegated to Blu-ray extras. The footage has leaked, and here's a scene breakdown via Comic Book Movie : Watch the footage after the Jump.. :01 - Alt. version of Uncle Ben's death.  4:00 - Dr. Connors comforts Peter.  5:50 - Peter follows Connor to his secret lab.  6:50 - Dr. Connors discusses the formula.  7:24 - Dr. Connor gives advice.  10:30 - The Lizard's entrance.  11:20 - Dr. Connors asks Peter for help.  12:10 - Big meet-up at the underground lab.  15:35

Marc Webb To Return For Spider-Man Sequel

The star and helmer will be back for a 2014 release. Ending months of speculation about whether he would return to the Spider-Man franchise he helped reboot, director Marc Webb has signed on to helm the webslinger's next outing for Columbia Pictures. The sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man will begin shooting in early 2013, with Andrew Garfield also returning as the superhero. Emma Stone is in talks to continue her role as Peter Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy. There has been little doubt that Garfield and Stone would be back for a second outing, but Webb's deal has been the major question mark. Webb was paid roughly $1 million for the first chapter in the Spider-Man reboot, according to sources, and was looking for a pay raise in the wake of the film's $750 million-plus worldwide box-office haul and fanboy response. The screenplay is by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinkner based on a previous draft by James Vanderbilt. The film will be produce

The Amazing Spider-Man Review

The Amazing Spider-Man Review By: MattInRC Does The Amazing Spider-Man usher in an exciting new chapter in the franchise or signal yet another reboot?  Warning: major plot spoilers ahead. I have joined millions of moviegoers in condemning the horrid Spider-Man 3 , a film that put the once-proud franchise into a coma with a single dance scene. But there were more issues to that film than just the sidestepping: the product felt tired and bereft of imagination, as if our hero needed a partner or a major shakeup. Throwing too many substandard enemies at one hero never solved anything, but that's exactly what we got. Something needed to change, but was a reboot really necessary? That was Sony's call; and so five years after Tobey Maguire and company were shown the door, the lights dim for The Amazing Spider-Man. Does Sony make it up to fans with a new high-flying adventure, or should we expect yet another reboot in about five years? Sadly, The Amazing Spider-Man is

New Images From Amazing Spider-Man

Having officially exhausted all Amazing Spider-Man puns - 'humorous' uses of the word "web" and others arachnid-based wordplay is now officially punishable by death in these parts - news from Spideyland should be a whole lot less irksome, starting with news of two new pics from the movie. Sony's spin doctors - damn - have released a pick of Peter Parker pictures - damn - showing the Spidery superhero at the wrong end of some pretty serious looking weaponry and a battered version nursing his wounds. So what can we learn from these? Well, firstly that SWAT teams travel by bicycle these days, and that Peter is a PC not a Mac guy. Also, that his hair remains admirably bouffant, even after a full day under a hoodie. Perhaps more significant are those slash wounds across his chest, consistent perhaps with the claws of The Lizard? Our guess is that there's more to the set-up of that SWAT team than meets the eye too. Look at where the other member of the te

Spider-Man Webslingers Design

One controversy that overshadowed Sam Raimi's Spidey franchise involved the webslingers. In short, they were a little too biological for some Spider-Man aficionados; there were no actual devices that would have satisfied comic book purists. As we know, Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man is getting back to basics on that count. Mechanical webslingers are the order of the day for Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker , and, as this new viral demonstrates on Evolve Through Engineering shows, they're grounded in real science. Well, movie science at least. Don't try this at home, just to be on the safe side. See all the images after the Jump... Please Leave A Comment- Source- Evolve Through Engineering via Empire

Spider-Man Sequel Is Being Written As We Speak

The Amazing Spider-Man movie doesn’t open until July 3, but Sony is already hard at work developing a sequel. The studio has tapped Star Trek and Transformers writing team Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to work the screenplay for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 . Spider-Man, which reboots the franchise under the direction of Marc Webb and actor Andrew Garfield, has a screenplay written by Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves and James Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt already penned a draft of the sequel but is now working on White House Down, the action movie that is a high priority for the studio. Bringing in the duo highlights the premium importance the studio is putting on the sequel. The hiring of the high-profile writers is not cheap, and it shows that Sony does not want to lose any momentum on the project. The studio has set a May 2, 2014, release date and wants to be in production in the first quarter of 2013. “Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular acti
