There’s a new trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man, the Spider-Man
reboot which stars Andrew Garfield, due to be released on 3rd July in
the US, and the 4th July in the UK.
In it, we see Garfield’s Peter Parker as a moodier, more
contemplative prospect than Tobey Maguire’s version. There’s a little more of
the mystery over Parker’s parents. It also contains plenty of Rhys Ifans, which
is marvellous.
Oh, and we see more of the Lizard, more of the all-swinging
Spidey, a good gag, and what looks like the most astonishing set-piece prospect
of the summer.
It has to be said that the proximity of this reboot to the
Sam Raimi trilogy, the first of which was released ten years ago, has raised
many concerns. Well, by the looks of things, the ghost of Maguire has been
fully exorcised, largely by being completely ignored. I like the originals –
they’re fun and exciting - but this looks like a really intriguing, darker
prospect. Furthermore, it should make Andrew Garfield into the international
star he deserves to be.
