The Amazing Spider-Man Gets The Bad Lip Reading TreatmentMarc Webb is like the complete opposite of people like Damon Lindelof and J.J. Abrams, completely overtaking Twitter and social media during the production of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But if you’re someone who doesn’t want the salad before the meal, then JPEGs and Tweets aren’t going to do it for you...by Nick Venable | published: 2013-03-06 02:09:49comments
Sam Raimi Admits He Hasn't Seen The Amazing Spider-ManAll this makes me wonder what it will take for Sam Raimi to actually work up the guts to see the movie. You would think that, with Oz The Great And Powerful behind him, he would be pretty happy to have moved on to a non-Spidey phase of his life. Does he need to wait until the Evil Dead remake......by Katey Rich | published: 2013-02-19 15:19:20comments
James Franco Also Thinks The Amazing Spider-Man Wasn't Original EnoughFranco can't come right out now and say he thinks Oz The Great And Powerful will be silly, but he has no fear saying that about other franchises-- and especially those that mimic one he already made.

Marc Webb Isn't Making A Sequel, He's Mapping Out A Massive Spider-Man UniverseInstead of falling on the Spider-Man 3 sword and fearing the worst, though, I’ve allowed the news to settle, contemplated a few crucial puzzle pieces, read a lot of analysis and reached a different conclusion. Marc Webb isn’t making Spider-Man 3 … he’s reaching for the stars and casting his version of The Avengers. ...by Sean O'Connell | published: 2013-01-29 15:39:31comments
Skyfall And Spider-Man Make Sony #1 In 20122012 was a giant year for the film industry. Not only were ticket sales up 5.6% in America compared to 2011, but three different blockbusters - The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and Skyfall - managed to pass the $1 billion mark at the global box office. It was definitely a boom year for Hollywood, but who above all benefited the most?...by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-01-02 19:56:16comments
Amazing Spider-Man Sequel Is Changing Electro's Look, Says Jamie FoxxDoes this mean Webb will lean more toward the Ultimate Electro introduced in Ultimate Spider-Man No. 10?

Who Is The Amazing Spider-Man's Harry Osborn? Meet Dane DeHaanOdds are you know who Harry Osborn is, since he was played by James Franco in the original Sam Raimi-directed Spider-Man trilogy.

Watch: Andrew Garfield And Emma Stone's Amazing Spider-Man Screen TestOne element that couldn’t be downplayed in Webb’s movie, however, was the passionate chemistry established between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone as Peter Parker and his teenage love interest, Gwen Stacy.

Marc Webb Will Return To Direct The Amazing Spider-Man SequelThanks to his work on the Spider-Man trilogy Sam Raimi is only one of two filmmakers to actually direct all three movies in a superhero trilogy - the other being Christopher Nolan - and now Marc Webb is at the very least on his way to matching that feat.
