POSTERS
First Official Teaser Poster for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Just a Tease
by Alex Billington

I know there are plenty of Spider-Man fans out there, even those who aren't excited for next year's reboot, and although we just saw the teaser trailer yesterday, I still need to write about this poster. I came across this while perusing the Comic-Con showfloor last night and decided to take a clean, high res photo for everyone to get a better look at. It's the official teaser poster for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man and features the new logo and the new Spidey symbol from his superhero costume, which we've seen plenty of thanks to new photos and that trailer. There's nothing else, not even a tagline, but it's still a sleek poster.
Below is the photo I took from Comic-Con, but we'll update this with a real online version as soon as we can.
Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, our hero Spider-Man, as well as Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Dr. Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben Parker, Sally Field as Aunt May and Denis Leary as George Stacy. 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb is directing this new reboot of Spider-Man, from a screenplay co-written by Alvin Sargent (Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 & 3), Steve Kloves (Harry Potter movies) and James Vanderbilt (The Rundown, Zodiac, The Losers) in various iterations. Sony Pictures will be bringing The Amazing Spider-Man to theaters next summer, on July 3rd, 2012, but in the meantime we've heard there's a lot more coming from Comic-Con this week, so stay tuned!

Agreed.... this new suit is horrible. As a lifelong fan, it's going to be hard to be excited about this version.

That's an horrific sight! The Type and »graphicdesign«, as well as the suite are awfully designed. Agreeing to the »box office disaster«. And it's just a poster, but I don't like the cast either. Ok, still waiting just for Dark Knight Rises.

As long as I don't have to look at Tobey Maguire in that suit, I'm thrilled.

I think everybody's overreacting...yeah im not a fan of the type face....but that spidey symbol is frikkin awesome! IMO it makes that suit look incredible! I will say though, the eyes on the mask look like bicycle reflectors lol....but hey that might add a little more to the believability of it if he actually makes it himself. Guess we'll just have to wait and see 😉 All in all, I'm excited to see where they take this.

In what way does a massively overly designed suit with expert stitching and intricate latex webbing look homemade?

In what way does a boy shooting webs out of his wrists and swinging between buildings sounds real? None at all! But it's fun! And the closer to believable that this gets, the better it'll be. And based on the last movies, this is at LEAST a small step closer. And also note that believability and realism are two completely different things when it comes to good storytelling 🙂

Why is the "Amazing Spider-Man" on the bottom? They should've just left the date there, people would've got it. His back looks like a basketball..lol

This new film's trailer set-up looks odd to me. It seems to be insinuating that Peter Parker's parents were involved in some dangerous endeavor which lead to him living with his aunt and uncle. It's an odd take on the character and it looks like it will be taking away Parker's wisecracking demeanor and replacing it with emo-styled moping and pouting. The nature of comic books has been that different story threads present different takes on their respective heroes. There's no reason that the films based on those comics can't do the same; but at the same time, some of the threads they come up with aren't all that interesting. After Spiderman 3 a so-called "reboot" was probably inevitable. I just hope they have something more interesting to offer than what the teaser trailer is implying.

Actually, Peter Parker's parents were involved in some dangerous endeavor. In the comics, they were revealed to be spies for the government.

Thanks for the heads-up. My biggest exposure to the Spiderman mythos was watching the 1967 animated series. I loved it; but as it was aimed at a child audience on Saturday mornings that kind of detail was left out. I was never one to keep up with comic books other than huge event series like The Dark Knight Retruns or the death of Superman.
