The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Looks... Well, It Looks Amazing!!!!!!

The official trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has officially been released... and well, in short it looks amazing! Absolutely amazing. So fantastic, I can't even begin to think it can be bad. I was not completely blown away by by the first film. I liked it, and it certainly had its moments. But it wasn't mind blowing... and I began to question exactly why we really needed a Spider-Man reboot so soon. But I am starting to see the light, and it is shining very bright for director Marc Webb and his talented cast. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are back as Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy, and this time around we get a glimpse at some super powered villains: The Rhino played by Paul Giamatti and Electro played by Jaimie Foxx. But the trailer holds many more secrets and reveals... like a sickly Norman Osbourne, a young Harry Osbourne discovering what Oscorp is really working on, proto suits for The Vulture and Doc Ock, and the idea that the Sinister Six will be in full swing once part 3 makes its way into theaters around 2016... wow, all of this in just one 3 minute trailer! Not to mention how dope Electro looks, how sick the Spidey stunts are, and how unbelievably hot Ms. Stone is! All in all, this definitely has me intrigued... and I can't wait for the May 2014 release. Check out the full trailer after the jump....

Emma Stone: Gangster Squad Hottness

I can't wait to see the lovely Miss Stone smolder up the screen in this weeks Gangster Squad. This movie has a killer cast (Josh Brolin, Sean Penn, Baby Goose Gosling, etc), but what has me the most intrigued is seeing little miss Superbad all grown up and old school Hollywood sexy in this 1930s set period piece. She looks great. So does the movie. While the movie might suck, no way she can't come out looking any less sexy. Photos after the jump...

Even Though It Is Meant For Europe, Promotions Like These Scare Me...

I am looking forward to this summers Spider-Man reboot from director Marc Webb that is starring Andrew Garfield & Emma Stone. It looks to have been done very well, and the action scenes seem to be right on the money. But sometimes a films success is won or lost with the marketing campaign... just ask the people behind John Carter (a great movie that got smacked around cause it was promoted wrong). So far the gang controlling Spider-Man promotion here in the USA seem to be doing a great job... but how about their overseas counterparts? Check out this video after the jump featuring Garfield & Stone and make that decision for yourself... freaky ass Europeans!!!

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer Hits... So What Do You Think?

Webb & Garfield at a Spider-Man press conference

Sometime yesterday afternoon the Amazing Spider-Man trailer hit, making it the third superhero movie (the leaked Avengers preview and The Dark Knight) that will not be out until next summer to release a trailer now. I am getting a bit tired of following all of this nonsense of talking about movies that are a year or more away from coming out, so I have not been covering all the news on these releases even though they interest me. Yet this trailer intrigues me because it showed 2:30 minutes of footage, and most of it was ACTUAL FOOTAGE. Bravo to Marc Webb and the team behind the Spidey reboot for putting out a trailer that ACTUALLY has images from the movie for me to get excited about. Chris Nolan may want to go the whole dark & mysterious route with a trailer full of whispering and old footage from his first two movies, but other then the 1 second shot of Bane's mask we saw NOTHING NEW. In this Spider-Man clip we get to see Andrew Garfield as both Peter Parker and Spidey, the sexy Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and lots of the supporting cast. We also get to see the unique "Spidey's Eye View" perspective of Spider-Man swinging around that was absent from the Raimi movies. It's puts you right in the action. So what do you think? Are you in or out for this one? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below.

Trailer Trash Talking #10 - Friends With Benefits by Kristen Grillo

Friends With Benefits – New Trailer: Release Date: July 22, 2011.

Justin Timberlake, Mila Kunis, Emma Stone, Patricia Clarkson, Woody Harrelson

I know. You’re just as confused as I am, right? You’re sittin’ there in your little house dress.... scratchin’ your hairy chin and saying to yourself, “didn’t this movie come out already?!”


Well you know it did. And I know it did. But I don’t think the sheeple of Hollywood think you know and I know that they know it did but they just don’t care. So now what?

The really bizarre thing here will be that, regardless of this cinematic repeat parrot, chances are it will do annoyingly well at the box office. Presumably because (in my best cornish, Zoolander impression) of it’s really, really, ridiculously good looking leading starlets. Chicks also tend to eat this corny fake romance crap up while guys will tolerate it and go see it in hopes to get a sneak peak of Kunis’ snack sacks. 89.7% (yes this is an accurate figure!) of my male friends admitted to seeing Black Swan because they wanted to see Portman and Kunis dine out on each other. Not that there is anything wrong with this but…I’m sure you get my point.

Another thing that ruffles my feathers is that the additional talent that is involved in this movie is confusing to me. Woody Harrelson and Richard Jenkins? Who the hell convinced these “way too overqualified” people to add this tasteless crap to their resumes? Maybe I’ll consider the whole “they didn’t know a similar film was being made” excuse, which I really don’t believe either because everyone knows what everyone is doing in this business. Or they felt like “trying something different.” But really, all you need to see is Justin Timberlake being airlifted by a helicopter in a straight jacket to know that this movie is going to be an absolute waste of $12+ bucks. Too bad this shit isn’t being released on April Fool’s Day. Then I’d totally be in on the joke.

Hows That For Getting It Right...

Honestly, we internet bloggers and the people who read our stuff are so quick to point out whenever we think somone is doing something WRONG with one of our beloved properties (yeah I'm talking to you George Lucas haters and Schumacher Batman Haters...), yet don't often enough heap praise on the people who are trying to GET IT RIGHT with the characters that we love so much. So I'm going to do just that.

This weekend, Emma Stone was attending some press covered events and sported a bright blonde hairdo while doing so. This wouldn't normally be a big deal, but Stone (traditionally known as s redhead, but a natural blonde) is playing Gwen Stacy in the Marc Webb directed Spiderman reboot. And while the movie may suck ass (I thnk it will be ok... but thats just me), this casting is working out quite accurately. See for yourself:

Gwen Stacy in the comics:

And Gwen Stacy in real life:

Thats ok by me... lets just hope they keep the other characters and Spidey's suit as based in the source material as Ms. Stone's current "Gwen Stacy" makeover. We shall see... 

Aunt May, Uncle Ben... Check!!!

Goodnes gracious, Sony is pulling out the big guns for their upcoming Spiderman reboot... and they are aiming high for the supporting cast!!! Word has hit the interwebs (thanks Den of Geek & /Film for the tips!) that Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker will be taught life lessons by Martin Sheen & Sally Field as Uncle Ben & Aunt May. This is wonderful news. Think about this cast so far. Garfield is a great young actor... he really has chops. Will that make for a good wallcrawler? Lets hope so. Then you got the lovely Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy & former CCD Obscure Hot Chick of the day Elena Satine as Mary Jane Watson providing the sex appeal. Factor in Rhys Ifans as Curt Conners/ The Lizard, and you got yourself a pretty solid cast for Marc Webb's new take on everyones favorite neighborhood webhead.

I like some of the stuff they are doing, like the fact that Peter won't be with Mary Jane & the fact that they are using a villian in The Lizard that was teased but did not appear in the original trilogy. A lot of people (Um... JEFF BOND!!!) are a little concerned with the fact that they  are already rebooting a franchise that is still barely a decade old, and that point is extremely valid. With so much adaptable material out there, why re-tread this story... especially after Sam Raimi did it so well (um, well... 2 outta 3 aint bad, right?) But Marc Webb is a talented director, I am a huge fan of Garfield after The Red Riding Trilogy (watch this if you haven't seen it... Netflix Instant son!!!), and the supporting cast just keeps getting better and better.... I am starting to get more excited for this project. Let's see who the cast as J. Jonah Jameson. Nobody has ever given a more perfect depiction of a previously played character in history as J.K Simmons did... thats gonna be some tough shoes to fill. What are your thoughts on the Spiderman reboot? Tell us in the comment section below. We want to know what you think!!!   

Say Hello To Your New Mary Ja.... Er, Make That Gwen Stacy In The Upcoming Spiderman Reboot

Emma Stone, that of Zombieland, SuperBad, and Easy A fame, is going to be playing one of Spidey's love interest in the new reboot of Marvel Comic's flagship character. There is only one catch. The dark haired Stone has been rumored to be playing Mary Jane Watson, a role that was previously filled by Kirsten Dundst (god I hate her). Instead, she will be playing Gwen Stacy, who is blonde and was played by a hair dyed (and F'n hot as shit) Bryce Dallas Howard in Spiderman 3. I am ok with this... and frankly, I wouldn't have minded her in either roles. I think she is very talented, gorgeous, and very well suited for the part. When you add her to the mix with Andrew Garfield as Spidey (we like him here at CCD) and rumors that Phillip Seymour Hoffman may be on board as a villian... well, lets just say our interest is peaked to say the least. We will let you know if we hear anything else. Thanks to /Film for the constant movie related updates.
