The Amazing Spider-Man: Andrew Garfield Covers Empire, Plus New Still Images from the Movie
Posted 12.28.11 by BrentJS
Sony's upcoming Spider-Man franchise relaunch may not hold any records for trailer downloads like The Dark Knight Rises or feature multiple hot celebrity actors playing box office-proven superheroes like The Avengers, but The Amazing Spider-Man is still one of the most highly-anticipated movies debuting in 2012. It's popped up on more than one "Most Searched For" lists of 2011, and popular British entertainment magazine Empire has chosen the Marc Webb-directed movie to launch its "Amazing 2012 Preview" issue showcasing the "Biggest Year in Movie History" by putting Spider-Man himself, Andrew Garfield, on the cover.
To help maintain the high levels of moviegoer interest in The Amazing Spider-Man as we head into 2012, Sony stepped up its marketing campaign for the movie in December, releasing a new poster and several pieces of promotional artwork, and launching an official movie website that contains new still images, wallpapers and character profiles, as well as a brief story synopsis. Now, the studio has updated the official Facebook page for The Amazing Spider-Man to include several high-quality still images from the movie. Some are simply better versions of images we've previously only seen in (or scanned from) magazines, but there are several new images, as well.
The Amazing Spider-Man is based on the classic Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko that first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962. The screenplay was written by James Vanderbilt and Alvin Sargent. Rhys Ifans, Campbell Scott, Annie Parisse, Embeth Davidtz, Irrfan Khan, Denis Leary, C. Thomas Howell, Chris Zylka, Martin Sheen and two-time Academy Award-winner Sally Field also star.
