Sony Released So Many Damn Spider-Man Clips, Someone Made a Movie Out of Them

The first reviews for “The Amazing Spider-Man” may be glowing but fans can't help but feel a tinge of desperation in the way Sony marketed it. Below is a 25-minute video of footage from the film – as released by Sony itself.

In other words, the movie studio gave away almost half an hour of its insanely-anticipated release through various promo materials.

That still leaves 110 minutes more to see in theaters, but it also speaks volumes for how badly Sony wants people to see the film, especially with Warner Bros.' “The Dark Knight Rises” hot on its heels.

Check out the video below to see what we mean. Because the videos used in the making of this one were of varying quality, this too is pretty uneven.






However, if you're a Spidey fan and would rather not be spoiled until the film is out (as is the case with us), we'd advise against checking out the clip.

“The Amazing Spider-Man” with Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone will be out on July 3.

can a comic book nerd explain why spiderman never joined the avengers? they're in the same universe aren't they?
dropitlikepluto 27th-Jun-2012 07:53 am (UTC)
Ahah. So hungry and desperate
dropitlikepluto 27th-Jun-2012 07:53 am (UTC)
I don't know why I replied to you! You are not hungry and desperate!
kapuki234 27th-Jun-2012 07:56 am (UTC)
it was an honest question! i am totally clueless about this nerdstuff.
wonderpup 27th-Jun-2012 07:54 am (UTC)
If you are talking about the movies it is because spider-man's movie rights are owned by Sony, while marvel owns the avengers movie rights.

In the comics he does join the avengers .... Trying to think of a universe where he doesn't and can't right now.
crazycorgilady 27th-Jun-2012 07:54 am (UTC)
he's been an avenger in the comics

But as far as the movies, Sony owns Spidey (and X-Men, and the Fantastic Four I think) while Marvel/Disney owns the Avengers, so they won't be meeting up in the movie verses for the time being.
isntdaveone 27th-Jun-2012 07:54 am (UTC)
in live-action movies?

the characters are owned by different movie companies and they wouldn't allow the SpiderMan character join the Avengers movie.

it's also part of the reason why no one from the X-Men was in the Avengers movie. even tho a lot of them are on the Avengers team in the cartoons/comic books.

As far as comics go, Spidey's a reserve member, but only called in when serious shit starts going down. He prefers to (and is best at) do his own thing.

As far as movies go, The Avengers and Spider-Man are owned by two different companies; Marvel Studios and the money grubbing whores over at Sony, respectively. There'd be way too much red tape involved to get them to interact in the same movie, no matter what producer Avi Arad would like you to believe.

lol he is
but the tumblr fanart about Spidey being left out is hilarious

because nobody likes Peter

not even Peter likes Peter
prophecypro 27th-Jun-2012 08:31 am (UTC)
In the comics he did, but he can't in the movies cause different studios have ownership rights to make movies for different characters.
jazzypom Well, it's complicated27th-Jun-2012 10:39 am (UTC)
Spiderman wanted to join the Avengers from the jump (the money was ace) but Captain America ixnayed it earlier on (this might have been in the 90s when Kurt Busiek was writing the Avengers). When Bendis got scribe duty in writing the New Avengers in 2005/06, Spiderman was one of the Superheroes on The Raft (a high powered prison for super villains) and Spiderman impressed Captain America so much, he invited Spiderman to join the Avengers, only to tell Spiderman that at this time, there'd be no money, but Spidey joined anyway. When Civil War came about, Peter first joined Iron Man, then defected to join Captain America.

Warning: cool story

I went to the Disney store the other day and got excited that they had a ton of Spidey and Avengers stuff, but said out loud I'd wished he would show up in the next movie (along with Wolverine, because I love me some fucking X Men.) I got into a debate with one of the workers because she swore the next one would be a massive crossover with everyone evar. I tried to explain that different studios owned the movie rights. My mom facepalmed out of the store.

crazycorgilady 27th-Jun-2012 08:02 am (UTC)
I forget which movie I was seeing at the time but I laughed during the previews when almost everything got people cheering and clapping and then there was silence during/after the ASM preview.

mangosmuggler What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 08:03 am (UTC)
Is this movie telling Spider Man's story before MJ came along? I don't get it
treradical Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 08:05 am (UTC)
i think so
xpirate_queenx Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 08:08 am (UTC)
Yes. They're trying to differentiate themselves from Sam Raimi's superior 2002-2007 franchise by starting out with Gwen, rather than MJ as the love interest. No word on whether she'll die or not, or if MJ will even show up.


To be fair, Gwen was Peter's very first love.
winegums Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 02:19 pm (UTC)
Emma Stone is signed on for two movies (the new franchise is a trilogy), they'll probably kill her off in the next one.
1337nik Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
I love MJ but I hate Kirsten Dunst. So much conflict.
ladyfly56 Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 08:29 am (UTC)
yeah Gwen was Peters original love interest and first love. she was killed off and then MJ came along.
milly Re: What about Mary Jane?27th-Jun-2012 08:58 am (UTC)
In the first series of movies, they basically mashed MJ and Gwen anyway, so it wasn't *really* MJ.
faithgrowsold 27th-Jun-2012 08:10 am (UTC)
I'm so excited for this movie, idgaf. But I'm definitely avoiding watching trailers/clips. I did the same thing for the Avengers.

It's just so much more fun seeing scenes for the first time that way.
isntdaveone 27th-Jun-2012 08:12 am (UTC)
i had hoped this movie wasn't another "origin" movie.

we all know the damn story about how he becomes The Spider-Man from the cartoons, comics, movies.

we sure as hell didn't need another one.

they should've just made a continuation movie.
onyxobsidian 27th-Jun-2012 08:19 am (UTC)
It's kinda annoying that they have the same uncle dying stuff in it.
isntdaveone 27th-Jun-2012 08:23 am (UTC)
they do the same thing with every SuperMan movie/reboot.

it's always got to be how he came to earth, grew up on a farm, learns his powers, UUUGGGGHHH.

and Lex always has to be the villain, always. like there aren't thousands of more better/well-known villains in the Superman-verse.
ectypes 27th-Jun-2012 03:43 pm (UTC)
that scene made me bawl like a baby in the other version
wauwy 27th-Jun-2012 08:33 am (UTC)
They're probably just following Marvel's insistence that the only Spidey people care about is a broke pathetic high-schooler who lives with his aunt and therefore erasing any development he might have had.
childish 27th-Jun-2012 01:55 pm (UTC)
ugh welcome to comics

There's been enough shots of Bruce's parents dying to fill the entire L&O catalogue.
onyxobsidian 27th-Jun-2012 08:18 am (UTC)
Yeah it will obviously not to well at all.
prophecypro 27th-Jun-2012 08:32 am (UTC)
It was tracking for a pretty opening according to some reports a week back.
keziah42 27th-Jun-2012 08:25 am (UTC)
haha mte and I don't even know why.

I liked Andrew in Never Let Me Go and The Social Network but I hate him as Peter Parker. I guess I hoped he'd play better roles (like older roles) b/c Spider Man seems like a role for an up-and-coming kid actor, not someone who already established himself in the industry.

My point: Andrw is to good to play some kid in a franchise film.

And I don't really like Emma Stone. At all. I don't get what people see in her.
