So I Have Tried To Avoid Spoilers On The Spider-Man Reboot, But I Can't Stay Quiet About This One...

So as someone who blogs excellsively & reads the Internet as much as I do, I have become sompletely uninterested in spoilers & set stories that come from movies that are not coming out for 12-18 months. First off, who the fuck cares? Chances are the shit that people are "reporting" is made up and twisted up facts anyway... how many times have spoilers actually been 100% right? Almost never... Secondly, why do I want to know key plot points and elements if we truly want to see an interesting movie? I am pumped that I do not know who The Avengers are fighting in the upcoming mega movie, I'm glad I will be surprised when I find out who Joseph Gordon Levitt is playing in The Dark Knight Rises, and I don't want some geeky blogger taking 100's of shots at guessing on something until he ends up being right about SOMETHING... take enough guess and something is bound to be similar to ONE of your theories. Anyway, the point is that I have been avoiding all spoilers and I have become a much happier person for it. But now that these films are right on the horizon, lets talk a bit about some of the deatils... specifically, why the fuck does The Lizard look like a combination between a creature from C.H.U.D. & a Sleesak from land of the Lost?

'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.

So... 'The Amazing Spider-Man' It Is

Very well, very well... I have to admit that I like the use of the name 'The Amazing Spider-Man'. It's the original title of the classic series from way back in 1963, and I am glad to see Marc Webb going back to the series roots with the title. Now, as far as the suit goes... ehhhhh.

The suit looks a bit to blue for me. I don't like the blue in the gloves. I do like the web shooters, and the organic feel of the suit. It looks very neoprene-ish, which is dope. So I am kind of torn on this one. What do you guys think? Tell us in the comments section below.

This Might Actually Work

Check out artist Dan Meth's casting idea for the Spiderman re-boot film. Marc Webb is shooting the movie now, but no villian has been formally announced. Why not give Larry David a shot as the Vulture? He does look just like the guy... and flying villians can be kinda cool, right? What do you think? Let me know in the comment section below!

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... 

That's It.... Now I'm Definitely In For The Spiderman Reboot!!!

When they said Marc (500 Days of Summer) Webb was going to direct the Spiderman reboot, I was mildly interested in the choice. Then Andrew Garfield was picked to be ole Webhead himself, and that interested me a bit more. Then we got Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy... and the eyebrows were starting to get that excited look. Rhys Ifans as The Lizard meant no more Green Goblin as the villain. That was great news. Then Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Uncle Ben & Aunt May. I was starting to become content with the direction of this feature. Then this... holy shit, there is a god. Goodness gracious, how can such a small character such as Betty Brant make any difference at all in this movie? Who the hell is Betty Brant? Well, here you go.

Betty Brant is a secretary at The Daily Bugle, and she was portrayed in the Sam Raimi Spiderman trilogy by the lovely Elizabeth Banks. She is spunky, quick witted, and holds her own against J. Jonah Jameson while mildly flirting with Peter Parker... and she is rumored to about to be played by... wait for it.... wait for it.... CCD's current favorite actress, the hotness that is Zooey Deschanel!!!!!!!!!!!

That's my heart right there....

Good Lawd!!!! Even if she is only in the film for a few minutes, this instantly becomes a better movie and a must see for me. Sure, say what you will... I swear I am not pandering cause I love me some Zooey. She is super talented, and gorgeous, and you know what else... this is my god damn blog, so if I wanna gush about Zooey D, then I will!!! If you don't like it, you can go read some other blog.... er, um... what I meant to say was, be ready for another knockout performance by the knockout we love to love. See you next year Zooey. Marc Webb should be nominated for man of the F'n year!!!!! 

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.

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.
