Watch A New B-Roll Featurette For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2!

Lee B. Golden III

It’s official, folks. The award for waaaay too many trailers and TV spots has to go to director Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man 2. I have to say, it’s been an adventure trying to keep up with the promotional campaign for this one, and I don’t even think I was able to share the latest official trailer for it. So, I’m more at ease knowing that this film is on its last legs of promotion after just debuting in Europe before its North American release on May 2. Needless to say however, with an action packed X-Men mid-credits nod, in addition to Black Cat’s possible inclusion in Drew Goddard’s The Sinister Six, the production of Venom and all other Spidey related projects to remain on-going for another several years, we’re far from done with this corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As for me, well, I think I’ll just leave […]

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Gets A New Extended International TV Spot

Unless you’re an avid comic book fan or an insider, there’s no telling what plans Kevin Feige has in store over at Marvel now that plans are underway for a slate of superhero movies to come between now and 2028. With more films on the way going into Phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, in addition to other titles in the Spider-Man universe, one can only imagine what will come next. Personally, I’m still waiting on an R-rated Deadpool movie that Fox keeps promising. That just needs to happen, one way or another. In the meantime, fans around the world have a new reason to gloss over the prominence of superhero summer blockbusters with director Marc Webb‘s latest contribution, The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Opening on May 2, 2014, the film stars Andrew Garfield back in uniform, along with Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan and Paul Giamatti, with an […]

With Alex Kurtzman and Drew Goddard tapped to bring together Spider-Man spin-offs for Venom and The Sinister Six, director Marc Webb is still in line to direct the third film of The Amazing Spider-Man universe in time for its June 10, 2016 release. But what about the fourth film? Yes, a fourth was also part of the slate dated for May 4, 2018, but it has since been reported that Webb will not be involved. So there’s no word yet as to who the director will be as things are still early in their development. Meantime, Webb‘s next contrbution to the eponymous wall-crawling superhero saga has a final trailer out ahead of its May 2 release, with Andrew Garfield back in uniform and back in action with Emma Stone, and a whole new level of villainy by way of Jamie Foxx, Dane DeHaan and Paul Giamatti to name a few.

In the weeks and months since the folks at Sony Pictures began launching their promotional campaign for the upcoming release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Marvel fans have gotten to know a little more about a few of the film’s characters, particularly that of Daily Bugle editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson whose latest diatribe against our favorite webslinger is now available online. Furthermore, fans now have confirmation that actor B.J. Novak has been revealed for the role of Alistair Smythee, whose son, Spencer, inherits his father’s inventions and experiments on himself to become “The Ultimate Spider Slayer” with one obvious mission in mind. That said, we still have two more movies and several spin-offs to go as the plot thickens with more villains for our protagonist to face-off with in what is expected to be his greatest battle yet. And on that note, we have a new trailer you can check […]

Jamie Foxx Is In Comic Book Movie Mode, In 'Aggressive Pursuit' To Play SPAWN

Lee B. Golden III

For a matter of about more than a decade now, comic book author and creator Todd MacFarlane expressed his anticipation on actively developing a feature-length return of the character Spawn to the big screen, having progressed into the talk of making a lower budgeted, closely managed sequel with a darker-toned vision suitable for an R-rating, compared to its 1997 predecesor from director Mark A.Z. Dippé. This year, it seems now that with the heightened popularity and success of Django Unchained, White House Down and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 star, actor Jamie Foxx, MacFarlane’s Image Comics property is back in the headlines, and hitting heavy with a recent statement from the actor who recently spoke to Movies.com about the project, telling Erik Davis the following: “There’s a couple of them, Spawn…is one, yeah, and uh, Mike Tyson. Those are two roles that I would just love to, you know, get down […]

Explosive New Trailer For WHITE HOUSE DOWN

Lee B. Golden III

To be honest, Channing Tatum was the last person I would expect to turn into a blockbuster action star. Films like Step Up and Coach Carter were a few of the films in which many of us first discovered him. Who would have thought he would be taking on Cung Le in Fighting, and the C.O.B.R.A. forces in both G.I. Joe films? It also helps that Channing, like some stars such as he, has a kung fu background of sorts. So I sincerely hope to see him in another action film that centers around martial arts action. That’s just me. But for now anyway, Hollywood has its action star in Tatum, who is readying to light up the big screen, taking on terrorists while protecting the President in the new action adventure, White House Down, opening in theaters on June 28, 2013. SYNOPSIS: Starring Channing Tatum, Jamie Foxx, Maggie Gyllenhaal, […]
